TRAM Barcelona Improves Services with People Counting Solution

In this video we delve into a significant challenge faced by TRAM Barcelona – overcrowding at their stations. This issue not only affects passenger safety, due to the narrow platforms that increase the risk of accidents, especially when trams arrive, but also impacts the overall user experience. The increased station traffic leads to longer stop durations and overcapacity in the trams. To effectively address and understand these occurrences, TRAM Barcelona has collaborated with CrowdScan, a company specializing in people counting solutions.

We have an exclusive opportunity to meet Enzo Castiglio Moreno, the Head of Research at TRAM Barcelona. Moreno provides insights into the challenges they face and the necessity for a reliable solution. Additionally, we interview Anton Dierickx, the Chief Operating Officer of Crowdscan, who shares in-depth knowledge about their innovative technology.

This video offers a comprehensive look at the project from its inception. We explore the reasons behind TRAM Barcelona’s decision to adopt CrowdScan’s technology, delving into how it operates and why it stands out as an effective tool for managing station overcrowding. Moreover, Dierickx enlightens us on the specific features of their technology that make it suitable for such a dynamic environment.

The outcomes of implementing this solution are also discussed. We examine how CrowdScan’s technology has impacted the daily operations of TRAM Barcelona, including improvements in safety measures and passenger experience. Furthermore, the video sheds light on the tangible benefits that have been observed since the integration of this technology.

Looking towards the future, the interviewees discuss potential enhancements and future applications of this technology in urban transportation systems. They also speculate on how such advancements could further revolutionize the management of public transport facilities.

Join us in this insightful exploration of how technology is being used to enhance public transportation safety and efficiency in one of Barcelona’s key transit systems.
