VimpelCom: Neural network for identifying stowaways

2021: Launch of AI system defining stowaways in public transport

In July 2021, VimpelCom announced the creation and beginning of the use of an artificial intelligence system capable of identifying the number of stowaways in urban transport. The neural network integrates with the video surveillance system and validators in the bus cabin and processes the data in real time.

According to TASS, citing the press service of the telecom operator, the algorithm allows you to count the number of passengers in public transport and offers options for optimizing bus traffic on the route in order to reduce crowds at stops. In addition, the algorithm is able to analyze how many people paid for the fare, and how many did not.

VimpelCom launched an AI system that defines stowaways in urban transport

Thanks to the connection of AI technology to video surveillance and validators, the system helps to quickly decide on the redistribution of transport on the route, save up to 20% of fuel and slow down the depreciation and depreciation of transport up to 10%.

In addition, the neural network is able to combine video from three CCTV cameras into one stream, "smear" obstacles so that incorrect camera installation does not interfere with the analysis of the video stream. The system can also understand where the person is, and where the attribute of the bus cabin.

Optimizing the movement of public transport is an extremely important task in which we see great potential and will expand the functionality of our solution for the most efficient operation of transport, passenger and logistics companies, "said Beeline George Held, Executive Vice President for Digital and New Business Development.

By July 22, 2021, VimpelCom launched several pilot projects in a number of regions of Russia.

Earlier, the network operator Wi-Fi in the metro Moscow and "" St. Petersburg and Maxima Telecom the developer of auto components "" Itelma reported on the supply of a solution for monitoring passenger traffic and identifying stowaways in Moscow buses. The volume of the contract for the supply Internet of equipment systems to bus manufacturers was estimated at 2.5 billion. rubles^[1]
