Wireless People Counters installed at airport security screen point

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 are installed at the expanded security screen point servicing Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 at Melbourne Airport allowing management to make evidence-based decisions. With the ability to compare traffic flow between various periods, management can predict peak travel times and prepare in advance with additional resources and staff.

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 on airport operations during installation.
