FRANCE: Thales has selected Eurotech to supply embedded hardware and internet of things software for the automatic passenger counting systems to be installed on trains for the future Grand Paris Express metro lines 15, 16 and 17.

The project will require at least 1 400 passenger counters, and potentially up to 4 250.

These will collect data on the number of people in each vehicle at every station, to help manage services and improve passenger information.

Eurotech is to supply its DynaPCN passenger counters along with its Everyware Software Framework data collection and remote configuration technology.
