Frequently Asked Questions

How does AlwayCare APC achieve ≥98% accuracy in crowded transit conditions?
AlwayCare APC uses dual-lens stereoscopic computer vision to construct real-time 3D depth maps of the doorway zone. By analyzing the 3D contour of human heads and shoulders, the edge AI processor calculates individual trajectory vectors independently. This architecture eliminates the common counting errors of older 2D infrared or single-lens sensors, successfully discriminating simultaneous two-way traffic, passenger hesitation, and crowded rush-hour boardings.
What is the key difference between Standalone APC (PC15/PC16) and MDVR-Integrated APC (PC22–PC37)?
PC15 and PC16 are standalone all-in-one binocular devices featuring built-in 4G, GPS, and local cache. They connect directly via POE or wide-voltage vehicle power and transmit passenger count tallies straight to the cloud without needing a central recording box. PC22 through PC37 integrate the passenger counting algorithm into a high-capacity 4-channel or 8-channel HDD Mobile DVR, allowing simultaneous high-definition CCTV video surveillance recording, active driver fatigue monitoring (DMS), ADAS, and voice intercom within a unified vehicle hardware hub.
Can the passenger counter filter out luggage, backpacks, and strollers?
Yes. The system incorporates intelligent 3D height segmentation algorithms. Users can configure the detection height threshold (standard 0.8m to 2.2m). Objects carried below the threshold (such as wheeled luggage, grocery bags, strollers, or folded umbrellas) do not possess human head-and-shoulder spatial contours and are filtered out, ensuring they do not trigger false passenger counts.
Does the system record video continuously, or only passenger counts?
Standalone models (PC15/PC16) store passenger tally logs (>500,000 cached records) and can upload snapshot verification images upon alarm triggers. The MDVR-integrated models (PC22–PC37) support continuous H.265 high-definition video recording onto a lockable 2.5" SATA hard drive (up to 2TB) and SD card (up to 512GB), providing complete historical video evidence alongside passenger statistics.
How does the system upload passenger data and integrate with third-party transit dispatch software?
The system connects to cellular networks via its built-in 4G LTE modem, pushing real-time passenger counts, GPS coordinates, and timestamps to the CMSV6 cloud server. AlwayCare provides standard JT/T 808, JT/T 1078 protocols and open RESTful HTTP/WebSocket APIs, enabling municipal transit agencies to ingest live passenger counts directly into existing ticketing databases and automated dispatch platforms.
What are the sample evaluation lead times and warranty terms?
Standard evaluation samples of all PC series models are maintained in factory stock and dispatched within 3–4 business days via express air courier. Every device is backed by our direct 15-month factory warranty and supported by our Guangzhou engineering FAE team for remote calibration and API integration.
