Abstract
Described herein are devices, frameworks and methodologies configured to enable monitoring and analysis of dwell time in respect of a human conveyance. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for monitoring and analysis of dwell time in respect of trains. In some examples, the technology makes use of depth-sensitive sensor equipment to monitor activity in three dimensions, including train and passenger and activity, thereby to identify artefacts of dwell time events.
Claims22
A computer implemented method for analysing dwell time in respect of a human conveyance, the method including:
- receiving data derived from one or more activity sensing units, wherein the activity sensing units include one or more sensors configured to provide three dimensional depth data;
- processing the received data based on a set of one or more processing algorithms, thereby to define dwell event data, including dwell event data derived from processing of data representative of movement of objects in three dimensions derived from the one or more sensors configured to provide three dimensional depth data;
- updating a dwell event database, thereby to store the dwell event data;
- and
- executing a reporting module that is configured to provide report data derived from the dwell event database.
A computer implemented method for analysing dwell time in respect of a human conveyance, the method including:
- receiving data derived from one or more activity sensing units;
- processing the received data based on a set of one or more processing algorithms, thereby to identify dwell event data;
- updating a dwell event database based on the dwell event data;
- and
- executing a reporting module that is configured to provide report data derived from the dwell event database.
20-27. (canceled)
A computer implemented method for analysing dwell time in respect of an object, the method including:
- receiving data derived from one or more activity sensing units;
- maintaining access to a repository of dwell-time processing rules;
- processing the received data based on one or more of the dwell time processing rules, thereby to:
- define individual dwell events;
- for each dwell event, define a set of dwell event artefacts;
- and
- update a dwell event database, thereby to store data that associates each set of dwell event artefacts with a particular dwell event;
- and
- execute a reporting module that is configured to provide report data derived from the dwell event database.
