The document relates to the APC4000 Automatic Passenger Counting System developed by Railweight in collaboration with Metro SA.

The purpose of the APC4000 is to accurately determine in real time the number of passengers carried by trains travelling at line speeds between adjacent stations. It is designed for use by underground and commuter trains to optimise respond to transport demand, operation costs, train punctuality and comfort to passengers.
