Improve Passenger Satisfaction

Use focused, data-driven inspections to minimize inconveniences to paying passengers.

Protect Revenue

Safeguard revenue by increasing the deterring effect of your fare enforcement team and onboard camera systems.

Fare Evasion: A Critical Challenge in Bus Networks​

 

Fare evasion is a widespread issue that undermines the financial sustainability of public transport networks, compromises fair fairness, and affects passengers’ sense of safety. Detecting and monitoring fare evasion in bus networks is particularly challenging. While some operators attempt to estimate fare evasion by comparing ticket validations to data from Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems, this approach usually results in a general overview rather than accurate and actionable data.

How it works

OFFENSE DETECTION​

Seamless Monitoring

Our onboard AI-powered video analytics analyze video streams from bus surveillance cameras in real-time to identify fare evasion events as they happen.

MOBILE ALERTS

Smart Bus Targeting​

At the bus stop, ticket inspectors wait and board the upcoming bus with the highest number of fare evaders​.

TARGETED INTERVENTIONS

Smart Decision-Making

Inspectors receive video clips of fare evaders, allowing them to assess risk and decide whether to intervene, reducing conflicts. When necessary, faces are automatically blurred to protect passenger privacy.

Comprehensive Statistics

Insightful Analytics: A web-based dashboard lets transit operators monitor fare evasion trends and inspector activities. Detailed statistics by route, stop, and time of day support better strategic planning.
 

Strategic Planning: The granular data is available in hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly intervals, enabling transit managers to optimize operations and strategically plan interventions for maximum impact.

Proven Success in Dubai: over 90% Accuracy in Fare Evasion Detection​

During a three-month Proof of Concept in Dubai, conducted in collaboration with the RTA and CISCO, and under CISCO’s Country Digital Acceleration Program, our technology achieved over 90% accuracy in identifying fare evasion. Transit officers commended the solution for its user-friendliness and its significant potential to enhance fare enforcement on urban buses. While Time-of-Flight sensors were used in Dubai, AWAAIT is now conducting additional trials in another city, using only standard video cameras to provide a simpler and more cost-effective operational solution.

Scalability and Flexibility: Tailored to Your Operational Needs​

Our solution effortlessly scales to meet diverse operational and regulatory demands. It seamlessly integrates with existing bus systems, offering advanced privacy options and customizable features—whether you require basic fare evasion statistics or comprehensive visual data.
