Why do transport operators choose Video Analytics?
Public transport plays an important role in connecting people and enabling smooth travel in cities and between regions. However, managing complex hubs with high passenger volumes and maintaining the whole network can be challenging. Leading transport operators use intelligent video analytics to optimize planning, improve operational efficiency, and increase physical security.
Real-world planing
Rising passenger volumes create occupancy challenges in vehicles and security-critical situations. Accurate forecasting for route and train dispatching requires granular insights into real world travel patterns. Isarsoft Perception enables proactive planning by transforming camera streams into detailed, real-time data.
Real-time operations adjustments
Without real-time data, travel operators face unpredictable occupancy overloads, causing severe damage to passenger satisfaction. Isarsoft Perception enhances operational efficiency by providing live KPIs to adapt processes immediately. Its integrated AI identifies abnormal behaviors and risks in real-time, outpacing conventional security systems.
Adaptive and compliant security
Passenger safety is critical, yet conventional systems often miss suspicious behavior or left-behind items. Isarsoft Perception "sees" what is happening and detects unauthorized access and alarms operational threats earlier than legacy hardware. While data privacy is key, Isarsoft provides accurate intelligence while ensuring full GDPR compliance through automatic video redaction.
Go beyond passenger counting
Understand passenger intent by analyzing passenger flow. Improve experience and safety to enhance transportation networks.
Passenger Journey Mapping
While manual surveys provide only snapshots and static counting merely tracks entries and exits, Isarsoft Perception transforms your existing camera infrastructure into a source of continuous intelligence. It delivers insights from automatic passenger counting (APC) to mapping complete passenger journeys across multiple cameras to reveal complex travel patterns and movement through your entire network. This shift from simple counting to actionable trajectory data empowers public transport operators to truly understand how travelers move in real-time.
Anonymous and privacy compliant
Counting and reidentifying passengers with video analytics is always anonymous, as Isarsoft Perception uses abstract visual features like clothing color and shapes. There is no face recognition or wifi tracking.
No new hardware
Isarsoft Perception integrates seamlessly with your existing IP camera system. For many use cases, a well-positioned camera at a vehicle entrance or platform serves as a high-precision overhead counter, eliminating the need for expensive new hardware installations.
Use cases for smart passenger flow and safety
Public transport operators face daily pressure to maintain a reliable network and ensure a smooth safe journey for every traveler. Isarsoft Perception supports these goals by transforming existing camera systems into intelligent sensors for a wide range of use cases within stations and vehicles.

Is Isarsoft Perception compatible with existing camera systems?
Isarsoft Perception is compatible with all major security cameras and leading video management systems (VMS).
Is Isarsoft Perception privacy compliant?
Yes, Isarsoft Perception complies with relevant privacy policies such as the GDPR. Additionally, Isarsoft is ISO 27001 certified by TÜV Süd, underscoring our commitment to the highest standards of privacy, information security, and risk management.
The software does not identify people personally, it does not store faces, personal data, or identity. It only uses abstract visual features (like colors, shapes, and movement patterns) to match whether two detections belong to the same individual. This makes Re-ID privacy-friendly and compliant with regulations such as GDPR when implemented correctly.
Where is the data processed?
Depending on the version, Isarsoft Perception can be installed on cameras, edge, and server hardware. Data processing takes place locally and does not require an Internet connection. The collected, anonymous metadata can be transmitted to third-party systems for further processing.
What is re-identification (Re-ID) in people-counting?
Re-ID is an AI technique that recognizes the same person across multiple video frames, cameras, or viewpoints without identifying who they are. It simply ensures that one person is counted once, even if they appear several times. Video data is anonymized, and re-id works without face-recognition.
Can Isarsoft Perception be deployed directly on board vehicles like trains or buses?
Yes, Isarsoft Perception can be installed on rugged, fanless edge devices inside vehicles.
Can Isarsoft Perception detect unattended luggage and suspicious behavior?
Yes, the ystem "sees" and identifies abandoned items in real-time, issuing immediate alerts to security personnel. It also identifies abnormal behavior patterns and operational threats faster than conventional security systems.
Can staff be excluded from counting?
Yes, staff will be automatically excluded from counting. The system learns which individuals repeatedly appear for long periods, marking them as staff. This guarantees a high quality of collected data.
Can the software accurately count passengers in crowded environments?
Yes, our AI is trained on diverse, high-density datasets to maintain high-precision tracking even in crowded public spaces or complex station environments.
How long does it usually take from purchase to start of operation?
It typically takes 4-8 weeks from purchase to start of operation. For larger projects we can start with a Proof of Concept or a pilot project.
What is the pricing model for Isarsoft Perception?
Isarsoft Perception is available in three different tiers: Starter, Advanced and Enterprise. For larger projects we can start with a Proof of Concept or a pilot project. We would be happy to show you a demo of Isarsoft Perception and talk about your use case. Contact us now.
