Privacy-sensitive people counting and analytics
Crowd Analytics
Understanding visitor, passenger, or customer movements can be valuable for various industries, from retail to public transport to events and tourism. With Blickfeld’s LiDAR-based solution, businesses can anonymously and continuously track and analyze crowds in real-time, providing valuable insights into customers’ and visitors’ behavior, density, and movement patterns.
The data can help to regulate people flows, improve turn-in rates by optimizing store layout or product placement, ensure event security and safety to prevent overcrowding and meet regulations, and ultimately make the experiences for the customer or visitor more enjoyable.
By using Blickfeld’s LiDAR-based people analytics solution, businesses can better understand customer or visitor behavior and make data-driven decisions to optimize their operations and crowd management. This can improve customer satisfaction, increase efficiency, and lead to a more successful business.

Industries
LiDAR-based visitor analytics offer numerous advantages for retail facilities like shops, malls, or supermarkets. Tracking people’s movements and turn-in rates offers display and product performance insights, which can be leveraged to improve the customer journey. Detecting general buyer volume provides also an indication of real estate values and can help to prevent overcrowding.
Occupancy detection with Blickfeld’s people analytics solution enables venues like cinemas, concert halls, or sports arenas to efficiently distribute visitors without needing human oversight. By detecting which seats are taken and which are not, spectators can be automatically guided toward open seats.
For events like fairs or open-air festivals, people counting systems enable operators to monitor crowd density, prevent overcrowding or unsafe situations, and comply with regulations. Analyzing how visitors move is also valuable for understanding the interests of different target groups and allows organizers to make informed decisions that enhance the visitor experience.
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, Blickfeld’s LiDAR solution 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.
