HPC168 Visual Passenger Flow Counter Profile

HPC168 visual passenger flow counter is widely applied in buses, coaches, metros and other
public transportation tool passenger automatic counter application field. It possesses
high-performance communication media processor withHisiliconvideo purpose hardware
acceleration engine. Adopted with main development dual-camera depth algorithm model, it
conducts dynamic detection on cross-section, height and movement trajectory of the passenger
target, and in turn, obtains comparatively high-precision real-time passenger flow data, providing
RS45 or RS485 interface to conduct data interaction and sharing with third-party equipment,
which is very convenient for data depth development

HPC168counter depth camera can be adjusted from 0-180 degrees, to meet all passenger car
environment installation requirements. The built-in wiring method enables perfect integration of
HPC168counter and passenger car environment.
HPC168counter adopts integrated design which combines depth camera and calculation main
control board, so as to minimize interference factors on camera image information to the lowest
level, and possibly to the uttermost decrease construction wiring difficulty level. The one-button
debugging mode can quickly complete environmental parameters collection required by
HPC168counter, with no assistance from other equipment terminals.

HPC168counter provides rich data interface:

1. RJ45 network interface

Via RJ45 interface andHPC168counter connection, clienttool program views or sets
working status and operates parameters. At the same time, HPC168 counter submits
passenger flow data to the designated server in real time through RJ45 network interface.
2. Composite video output interface
Can be connected with vehicle-mounted display to visually display passenger
 counting results. Can also be connected with vehicle-mounted video recorder to save the
passengers dynamic video of getting-on and getting-off in real time.
3. RS485 interface or RS232 interface
Provides one-way RS485 or RS232 for third-party equipment to conduct data calls,
customizes baud rate and communication ID code.

4. Vehicle door switch signal

Can receive 8-36V voltage range vehicle door switch signal input. HPC168counter
stops counting once vehicle door is closed, and automatically starts counting when
vehicle door is opened.

Main functions of HPC168counter

 Built-in image anti-shake algorithm, strong environment adaptability;

 Algorithm correction function, adaptive lens angle, focus information,
allowing a certain angle tilt with the horizontal direction;
 Counting accuracy is not affected by passenger body form, clothing color,
hair color, hat and scarf, etc.
 Counting accuracy is not affected by passengers passing side by side,
crossing passing, and blocking traffic;
 Height limit can be set on target, passenger baggage error can be filtered;

 With the status of the bus door switch as the trigger condition, it starts

counting when door is opened, captures real time statistical data, and stops

counting when door is closed;

 Possess strong scalability and portability, can be installed according to the
number of vehicle doors;
 Unaffected by the season and weather, unaffected by figure shadows or
shades, unaffected by external light, automatically activates infrared fill-in
light at night to have the same recognition accuracy;
 Easy to install, support 180°installation, strong environment adaptability.

5. Command Set
5.1 Data Reset
CM：0x12

LEN：0x00

Upon receiving data reset command, HPC168 counter clears internal counter, and returns

to response frame.

e.g. Send data reset command to HPC168 counter with address 0x0001.
STX ID CM LEN DATA1 DATA2 CHK ETX

 Response:

Correct response means passenger flow sensor has already executed and completed
command contents.

0x300x30
0x32

Error response means HPC168counter cannot recognize the instruction (packet loss issue) or
algorithm internal conflict which leads to inability to complete processing instruction content.
If HPC168counter displays error response, it requests the host computer to resend data, up
to 3 times, with interval no less than 1s.

5.2 Passenger Flow Data Query

CM：0x13

LEN：0x00

Passenger flow data query is initiated by the host computer. Upon receiving command, HPC168

counter returns present accumulative passenger flow data.

e.g. Send passenger flow data query command to HPC168 counter with address 0x0001.

LEN：0x10

HPC168 counter returns present accumulative passenger flow data.

DATA1: Divided into in, out, 8 bytes, unsigned integer.

DATA2: No effect, padded with 0.

 among which: corresponding passenger flow sensor for in and out are accumulative number

of guests coming in and number of guests coming out (hexadecimal).

e.g. ID=0001 HPC168 counter has number of guests coming in of 34 and number of guests

coming out of 35, then returns:
