Amusement Parks
The Overhead People Counter is installed above each exhibit entrance. The persons who enter and each ride, and at what time, is detected, recorded and stored. This data can be used to verify ticket receipts vs. count.
The units are installed overhead, so there is no floor obstruction. Tailgaters and side-by-side are accurately counted. Errors in real life are under a fraction of 1%.
Since the data can be remotely accessed through the standard serial data link (by modem), the correlation of cash tickets vs traffic can be done at any time, even several months after the fact, as the traffic data is stored in memory. Suspicious scenarios can thus be evaluated by normal accounting methods in retrospect. Several months of data are kept in memory, and can be used for audit purposes. Data is in spread sheet compatible format, and can be accessed through the serial data link directly (via a standard portable PC) or remotely via LAN or modem connection.
The people traffic can also be used to evaluate peaks and lulls of attendance, as each time stamp can be specified in minute, 10 minutes or by the hour.
The Overhead People Counter provides unobtrusive monitoring and recording of the traffic for every ride , at all times. The data can be processed numerically, using standard accounting methods.
The advantages of the Overhead People Counter include:
-Remote, unobtrusive gathering of ride traffic
-Data is provided in spread sheet compatible format, time stamped.
-Low cost of purchase & installation.
-Serial data port allows the monitoring of many locations from one central site.
-Built-In-Test feature provides quick assurance of correct operation.
-Single plug-in cable (supplied) wiring & ceiling installation means no floor obstructions.
