Privacy-sensitive people counting and analytics

Occupancy detection based on Blickfeld LiDAR data enables venues such as movie theaters, concert halls, or sports arenas to manage visitors efficiently without high staffing requirements. By detecting which seats are occupied and which are free, audience members can be automatically guided to available seats.

Airports, train, or bus stations are locations that live from efficiency while also seeing movement of huge crowds every day, hour, and minute. To ensure travellers’ safety and convenience, LiDAR data enables automated passenger counting and provides insights into people’s movements. Based on this data, measures can be taken to shorten wait times or reroute people flows. 

Tourist destinations like beaches, ski resorts, theme parks, and attractions are increasingly affected by overtourism. The influx of large numbers of visitors not only leads to overcrowded parking lots and threatened ecosystems but also to resentment among vacationers. Blickfeld’s people counting technology provides anonymous crowd analytics data that can serve as the basis for systems displaying capacity in certain spots and suggesting less crowded alternatives. This can make recreational activities more enjoyable for both visitors and residents while also protecting the environment.
