How many people use public transport on a daily, weekly or monthly basis? If fully equipped with an APC system solution, these numbers are easy to extract for your entire fleet. If your fleet is only partially equipped, DILAX Samplics will come into play.
The VDV-certified sample trip planning tool can understand any public transport network and knows exactly which vehicle must run on specific routes at specific times to collect the perfect trip sample. The figures obtained can then be fed directly into DILAX Citisense® or another compatible analytics software to be projected.
The sample counts
Precise passenger numbers from Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) enable demand-oriented transport planning and can serve as the basis for revenue sharing for a transport network.
If your fleet is only partially equipped with a counting system, those vehicles having APC sensors must be strategically dispatched in such a way that a statistically sound sample can be created. Subsequently, statistical projections can be used to reliably determine the utilization rate in the entire network. Yet, planning for the sample is complex and must comply with standards such as the German VDV so that the data can be used for revenue distribution and miscounting is avoided.
DILAX Samplics calculates the sample, determines a smart disposition recommendation and thus creates a database for projection in DILAX Citisense® or other compatible software applications.
