Why Smart Seat Occupancy Detection System
Bus seat occupancy detection system actually captures how many seats are occupied throughout the bus journey and their occupancy duration and based on that it calculate the actual revenue generated by bus for a particular trip.
Also, It’s becomes very difficult for real bus owners to track and identify the unofficial pickups done by their bus staff (drivers or conductors) without their knowledge and record which mainly leads to the inconvenience for bus existing passengers and sometimes this activity delays their journey as well along with money theft/stealing activity.
Therefore, to overcome this problem bus owners can use smart seat occupancy detection system in their buses by which they won’t only get the occupancy details of the bus seats remotely (real time or historical) basis but also the exact bus location, total number of pickup/drops, bus stop points, number of passengers entered/left throughout entire bus journey and much more.
IoT Enabled Smart Seat Occupancy Detection System
The number of passengers is the most important number for mobility providers. Hiotron Seat Occupancy detection system count reliably with an accuracy all people boarding and alighting.
India has 2nd largest travel population in the world and The quality of regional and local public transport is turning into a matter of comfort.
hIOTron’s Bus Seat Occupancy Detection System combines 4 components
The hIOTron’s Remote Bus Seat Occupancy Detection system is a combination of Sensors, IoT Gateway, IoT platform and Mobile Application + Dashboard that enables real time data monitoring and provides data intelligence in a variety of use cases for single bus and multiple buses.
HI-DTM (Digital Tank Manager) is smart tank manager act as a main central unit which is perfectly suitable for remote tank monitoring applications powered through mains (5v/12v), having majorly Zig-Bee for local and GSM (2G,3G,4G) for cloud connectivity with in-built GNSS module. It is also equipped Li-ion for battery in case of power failure for 15-20days & EEPROM & RTC to store the records in case of network failure.

| Modular GSM | Provision for 2G, 3G & 4G network. |
| Internal GNSS | Global positioning system/Global Navigation Satellite System. |
| RTC | Real time clock to store data with time logs. |
| EEPROM (256MB) | Memory to store 15-20 days records in case power or network failure. |
| Li-ion battery | 2700MAH battery backup in case of power failure |
| Internal GNSS antenna | An antenna used for GPS connectivity. Integrated into FM device PCB. Does not have external connector. |
| External GPRS antenna | An antenna used for GSM connectivity having external SMA connector. |
| Charging/Discharging circuit | Charge & discharge internal battery through mains automatically. |

Powerful Features
GPS and CCTV has been used by the travel companies to keep eye on passenger count but still they are not satisfied with results and as it is not possible to keep track of number of passengers travelled and actual number of official travellers.
With Smart Bus Seat Occupancy system you can monitor and keep track of live bus location, get alert when geofencing area has crossed, number of stopes taken, number of passengers on-boarded and drop, duration of seat occupied and with advance analytics tools get all this information compared and display the revenue generated.
Top Class Benefits
With hIOTorn’s RTMS, distributors consistently improve operational efficiency and reduce delivery costs on average by 30%. In addition to substantial savings, most achieve ROI in less than a year with one-time basis upfront hardware costs.
