Frequently asked questions
The questions that transport networks, public transport authorities and vehicle manufacturers ask us, with precise, verifiable answers.
For a bus network, WEBREATHE's 2FLOW automatic passenger counting (APC) solution combines an EYES 3 AI 3D counting sensor above each door, the BRAIN on-board computer and router, which aggregates the counts, geolocates them and transmits them over 4G, and the CARE software, which reports ridership, vehicle loads and origin-destination matrices in real time. Accuracy is certified at over 98%, and vehicles can be equipped on the production line or retrofitted.

WEBREATHE's EYES 3 AI sensor combines wide-angle (135°) 3D stereo vision with on-board artificial intelligence: over 98% certified accuracy, passenger classification (adults, children, wheelchairs, pushchairs, bicycles), 250 g for 95 × 59 × 32 mm, EN 50155 certified.

Since 2016, WEBREATHE (WENIUS SAS) has designed and manufactured automatic passenger counting (APC) systems for public transport in Lille: 3D sensors, on-board computers, analytics software and APIs. More than 2 billion passengers have been counted and 30,000 sensors deployed. WEBREATHE is listed with the French public transport purchasing centre (CATP).

From this data, the CARE software derives ridership by stop and by trip, real-time tram loads and the line's origin-destination matrices, available online or exported via APIs.

It alerts operations staff to overcrowding, helps combat fare evasion, monitors the sensors remotely and makes the data available through ITxPT-compatible real-time and historical APIs, as well as in open data.
Find out more · CAREThe 2FLOW solution delivers certified counting accuracy of over 98%, measured in a controlled environment over at least 1,000 crossings in each direction. 3D vision and infrared illumination ensure the same accuracy by day and by night.
Find out more · EYES 3 AIYes. EYES 3 and EYES 3 AI sensors analyse 3D depth images that are anonymised by design: they count and classify passengers without ever identifying them.
Find out more · EYES 3Boardings and alightings counted at each door are geolocated stop by stop; the CARE software uses them to reconstruct the network's origin-destination matrix, line by line, continuously and without manual surveys. These matrices inform decisions such as merging, extending or creating a line.
Find out more · CAREYes. 2FLOW equipment can be installed on the manufacturer's production line or retrofitted to vehicles in service. A WEBREATHE project manager supports the network from the preliminary design to acceptance, then throughout the contract.
Find out more · BRAINBuses, coaches, shuttles, trams, metros and trains: BRAIN equips road networks (buses, coaches, shuttles) and WEBOX equips rail (trams, trains), with the same EYES 3 and EYES 3 AI counting sensors.
Find out more · 2FLOWYes. Counting data is available through ITxPT-compatible real-time and historical APIs, to feed the computer-aided dispatch and automatic vehicle location system (CAD/AVL), passenger information or the transport authority's tools.
