About DETECTOR
DETECTOR is an automatic real-time video analytics system that aims to tackle fare evasion on public transport. Using Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning algorithms, a camera above ticket barriers observes the ticket validation process and sends an alert to inspectors’ smartphones when it detects fare-dodging.
