The equipment is very valuable for any train operator that needs to meet franchise commitments for passenger counting or wants to identify and deliver the benefits in operational efficiency that accurate passenger analysis can facilitate. The comprehensive Infodev solution is backed up by powerful analytical software packages that provide high quality data upon which service and investment decisions can be made in confidence.

Harry Vrucht – Technical director of Infodev EDI Inc said “we welcome this new order and the loyalty of Vivarail to our passenger counting solution. Infodev equipment has been installed on vehicles in the UK since 2006 and the reliability and longevity of our equipment is renowned”.

Kevin Lane – Managing Director of On Train said “We represent Infodev in the UK and were delighted to have assisted to close the order for the new Infodev systems.  Presently we have significant interest in the UK from operators and new builders that either do not have automatic passenger counting or seek a reliable long term solution with much higher accuracy on raw count data than competitive systems can provide.”
