Automated Passenger Counting And Information System Global Market Report 2024

An automated passenger counting and information system (APCIS) is a technology used in public transportation to accurately monitor the number of passengers boarding and exiting vehicles in real-time. This system employs sensors, cameras, or infrared technology to gather data, aiding in the analysis of passenger flow and the optimization of transit operations. Additionally, it provides passengers with real-time information regarding schedules, occupancy levels, and service updates.

The primary types of APCIS include passenger information display systems, passenger information announcement systems, emergency announcement systems, infotainment systems, and passenger information mobile applications. Passenger information display systems provide real-time information and updates to passengers through visual displays. The technology integrates features such as infrared, stereoscopic vision, and time-of-flight in devices and components such as sensors, public announcement systems, multimedia displays, and communication devices. These innovations are utilized in various sectors including roadways, railways, airways, and waterways.

This automated passenger counting and information system market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The automated passenger counting and information system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from 8.77 billion in 2023 to $9.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to the digitalization of public transportation, increasing urban populations, an emphasis on data-driven decision-making, government regulations, and mandates for transit agencies to enhance service quality and passenger experience, as well as integration with smart city initiatives.

The automated passenger counting and information system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.85 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, rising investments in public transportation infrastructure, an increasing need for data-driven decision-making, integration with smart mobility solutions, and a growing emphasis on improving the passenger experience. Key trends expected during the forecast period include integration with IoT, advanced sensor technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), incorporation of APCIS with mobile ticketing platforms, and the implementation of privacy-enhancing technologies.

The increasing demand for public transportation is expected to drive growth in the automated passenger counting and information system market. Public transportation encompasses buses, trains, subways, and trams that operate on regular schedules and are accessible to the general public. This demand is fueled by urbanization, environmental concerns, and the need for efficient mobility solutions. Automated passenger counting and information systems are utilized in public transportation to optimize route planning, manage vehicle occupancy, and provide real-time updates to passengers. For example, in April 2024, the American Public Transportation Association reported a 16% increase in transit ridership from 2022, reaching 7.1 billion trips in 2023, despite stable office occupancy rates. Consequently, the growing demand for public transportation is a key driver of the automated passenger counting and information system market's expansion.

Leading companies in this market are advancing innovative technologies, including passenger tracking solutions, to enhance data accuracy and streamline passenger flow management. These solutions, such as AeroCloud Optic launched by UK-based AeroCloud in March 2023, employ computer vision to monitor passenger movements within airports, identifying operational bottlenecks such as extended wait times at check-in or security checkpoints in real-time.
