In our daily lives as commuters, you can pretty much expect every subway train to be crowded during rush hour. However, even on a crowded train, not every car is equally crowded. To effectively distribute passengers between subway cars, subway operating companies have turned to passenger flow management solutions to detect the passengers and empty seats, then display the information to help passengers find seats or cars with fewer people, making the commuting experience more comfortable.

Axiomtek's tBOX500-510-FL: High-Performance Embedded System for Rolling Stock with Intel® Core™ Processor, Wide Temperature Range, and Modular I/O
|
|
| |
|
 Axiomtek has proposed the tBOX500-510-FL to the customer, which is a high-performance and modular embedded system for rolling stock applications. It is certified with ISO 7637-2, EN 50155, EN 50121, EN 45545-2, and IEC 60945. The tBOX500-510-FL comes with an onboard Intel® Core™ or Intel® Celeron® processor along with two DDR4-1866/2133 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 32GB system memory. It supports a wide temperature range from -40°C to +70°C (EN 50155 OT4) and anti-vibration of up to 3 Grms. It features PoE to empower peripheral devices.
The system offers two I/O module slots and a wide selection of value-added modules (VAM) to meet different I/O demands. For system integrators with extensive storage needs, the box computer offers two swappable 2.5” SATA HDDs and one mSATA.

Passenger flow management helps passengers find the least crowded subway cars

The customer deployed several tBOX500-510-FL on trains. More than that, the customer utilized the VAM708 module, which provides four M12-type X-coded 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN. Via switches, the tBOX500-510-FL can acquire images from cars and detect vacant seats. Then, the information would be transmitted to the control center and be shown on the passenger information display systems. As the passengers know if the train is crowded or not, they move to cars with fewer people to enjoy a more comfortable ride.
