Modern airports are among the busiest places globally requiring continuous crowd monitoring for security and efficiency purposes. There are many challenges that airports face daily, and high people flow is one of the most critical ones. People traffic counters are useful tools for airports to have, the traffic counting technology allows security managers to make informed decisions on streamlining passenger traffic.
The EvolvePlus Wireless People Counters were recently installed at the security check screen point servicing Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 departures at Melbourne Airport allowing management to make evidence-based decisions. With the ability to compare traffic flow between various periods, management can prepare in advance with additional resources and predict peak travel times.
The EvolvePlus Wireless People Counter Active Infrared / IR beam (also called a ‘break beam’) technology was selected due to the ease of implementation with no significant delays experienced by passengers or detrimental impact to airport operations during installation.
