The document discusses people counting technologies and their applications in transportation and other industries. People counting allows organizations to optimize services, enhance customer experience, and reduce costs by dynamically allocating resources based on real-time usage data rather than fixed schedules. Continuous monitoring of people flow data integrated with other sources can help predict demand fluctuations and modify customer behavior. This creates competitive advantages for transportation, retail, facilities management, and other sectors. An example case study describes how people counting sensors on trams helped an Italian transportation company optimize their fleet management and timetables.

In many fuel stations there had always been long
queues to collect the fuel as a result there may be a scarcity of the
product in recent times. This type of situation makes the buyers
to wait for more than hours. Especially the scarcity is higher in
the festive periods. The service station in cities sells products to
the available customers in a random order, which results to long
queue in fuel stations. In this paper a single channel multiple –
server model is considered to reduce the waiting time of the
customers.

Driving Efficiency with Splunk Cloud at Gatwick AirportSplunk
Gatwick Airport, the busiest single runway airport in the world, needed to ensure a high degree of efficiency for a record-breaking 925 daily flights and 38 million annual passengers. This presentation covers how they:
- Combine historical fact with "in the moment" data and events to predict success or failure, enabling the operation to prevent issues before they occur
- Support other organisations (e.g., airlines and ground handlers) with dashboards to improve their performance
- Moved from "how did we do?" to "how are we doing?" and are on the edge of answering "How will we do?”
- Plan to expand the use of Splunk Cloud in the future: tracking travel disruption, predicting passenger flow and getting real-time feedback via social media monitoring
Also, learn why a cloud solution gives Gatwick Airport the agility and scalability to achieve what they need.

Vivere del Cambiamento: tracciare la rotta verso l'industria 4.0Eurotech
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is data. Data is the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT world where data are generated to IT world where data are consumed. To make this happen, a IoT integration platform, that gives to the App an easy and versatile access to the data, is required . As a matter of fact the IoT essence resides in an impressive simplification of the OT-IT integration. The benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services.
L’IoT industriale e i vantaggi competitivi della trasformazione digitale Eurotech
L’Internet delle cose (IoT) è la manifestazione che la materia prima di questa nuova era sono i dati. I dati sono la nuova fonte d’innovazione e possono dare un nuovo slancio di competitività e sostenibilità alle imprese. Estraendo ed elaborando i dati da infrastrutture, macchinari, processi e prodotti, le aziende potranno diventare molto più efficienti e aumentare la soddisfazione dei clienti, perché saranno messe nelle condizioni di poter ridisegnare le catene di valore, i processi e i modelli di business. Per poter cogliere a pieno i vantaggi della trasformazione digitale che l’IoT produce, le organizzazioni avranno bisogno di raccogliere i dati provenienti dal mondo operativo (mondo OT) in cui i dati vengono generati e connetterli al mondo IT, ovvero la da dove i dati verranno usati.
Per far sì che i tempi ed i costi di un’implementazioni IoT siano contenuti, l’architettura del sistema va, rispetto al passato, drasticamente semplificata e l'integrazione OT-IT va realizzata attraverso componenti software e standard industriali che garantiscano la scalabilità e l’interoperabilità. Durante la presentazione verrà illustrata l’architettura di riferimento alla base di tutte le applicazioni IoT ed alcuni casi implementativi reali.
Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to ConsiderEurotech
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

People / Passenger Counting
Many Use Cases
3. People Counting Applications
•Transportation
–Route optimisation
–Schedule modification
–Customer information and behaviour modification
–Fraud prevention and revenue protection
–Regulatory compliance
•Retail
–Foot fall analysis to monitor sales promotions or merchandising
–Deployment of staff to meet customer demand
•Facilities Management
–Smart energy planning
–Service schedule optimisation
–Compliance to building safety regulations
•Tourism
–Visitor numbers and queue management
Why count people ?
4. People Counting Applications
•Optimise service provision
–Allow dynamic allocation of resources to meet customer demands
•Enhance customer experience and refine customer behaviour
–Encourage use of less busy assets or services
–Optimise people flows in and out of assets
•Reduce operating costs
–Service assets based on usage rather than fixed schedules
•Reduce liabilities
–Evidence compliance with eg building fire regulations
Why count people ?
5. Creating Competitive Advantage
•Service delivery needs to be flexible
–Too much capacity = Satisfied customer but wasted resources
–Too little capacity = Dissatisfied customer, lost revenues, lost market share
–Organisations need to balance the availability of fixed and flexible resources to meet customer needs.
•Combining historical and real time people counts with other data (eg weather, arena schedules) allows for prediction of near term demand and a reduction in ‘exceptional’ events
•Continuous monitoring of real time data allows organisation to react to exceptional events when they do occur
•Integration with ticketing data
–Allows for fraud detection and revenue protection
•Integration with HVAC
–Balance energy costs with demand
•Integration with other transport modes
–Focus on customer end to end journey optimisation
Integrate with other information to create knowledge
6. Creating Competitive Advantage
•Informed passengers are happy customers
–Advance information on occupancy of approaching buses and trains, car park capacity, length of wait at taxi ranks/check-in queues etc. allows passengers to plan their journeys more effectively.
–Opportunity to offer compensatory ‘coffee voucher’ when services are disrupted, at the point of disruption
–Opportunity to modify customer behaviour to better balance demand
–Increase brand loyalty
•Smart buildings
–Modify heating and cooling in advance of room occupancy
–Detected unused conference rooms
–Check on room capacity violations
–Move to usage based facilities management rather than time based
–Repurpose underutilised spaces
Integrate with other information to create knowledge
7. Usage based solutions Service when it is needed, where it is needed
Zone 1 counter
Zone 2 counter
Historical usage data available for offline analysis, eg…
•What are the patterns of use ?
•How many staff/vehicles do we need, and when ?
•Which assets are used most – would better signage/timetabling/routing level usage ?
Real-Time alerts, eg……
•Number of users exceeded threshold since last service operation
•Time elapsed since last service exceeded threshold
•‘request service’ button pressed

8. Why count on a continuous basis ? Is an asset really needed ?
•This graph shows hourly plots of visits to a restroom at a major European hub airport, collected remotely from a single counter via cellular connection.
•Average daily visitors is 502, average hourly just under 21
•Peak use is in mid afternoon to early evening, but even then is only around 50-60 per hour, weekend use is higher than midweek.

There are significant differences day to day and week to week – real time
monitoring is crucial when moving to a usage based model if we are to
balance our fixed and flexible workforces
11. Why do we get such weekly differences ? Archive data analysis gives the ‘why’, so we can plan the ‘what if’
•Correlation with gate allocations ?
•Correlation with public holidays ?
•Correlation with local sport / business events ?
•Correlation with other assets out of service ?
•Correlation with flight schedule changes ?
•Correlation with restaurant menus ?
If you can work out the dependencies, then you can optimise !

13. The Basic Formula for IoT
Implementing a full “M2M Software Stack”
People counting is one particular instance of the use of Eurotechs M2M integration platform, the Everyware Cloud. It acts as an intermediate system between distributed devices and the applications interacting with them, abstracting the detail of the underlying protocols and communications architecture.
Everyware Cloud is conceptually like an Operating System for the Internet of Things, enabling the transfer of device data to and from Enterprise applications independently of any other language, platform or OS
Once this architecture is in place, it can be used to enable practically any type of remote sensor or system to interact with enterprise applications and other stakeholders
