KONE STATION TWIN

Keep an eye on safety and performance

KONE Station Twin allows for quicker response times, reducing the risk of critical incidents and crowding-related dangers and inconveniences, without vendor-dependency.

Explore the solution
why station twin

Improved safety

Ensure platform safety through real-time occupancy monitoring and alerts to congestion at critical areas, such as escalators.

Enhanced performance

Boost operational efficiency with vendor-independent alerts to equipment failures and cross-flows. Gain valuable insights with in and out passenger flow, train car and equipment usage statistics.

CasE Study

Prevent overcrowding before it happens

People flow bottlenecks at transit stations are not only inconvenient and uncomfortable for everyone involved, but hazardous. With accurate data, actionable insights, or holistic tools, transit operators could manage people flow within their stations efficiently and mitigate overcrowding before it happens.

Know what to do and when

Station operator

With accurate data, actionable insights, or holistic tools, transit operators could manage passenger flow within their stations efficiently and mitigate overcrowding before it happens.

Buyer

With ample insight on passenger behavior and equipment use in relevant stations, you can scale your project to its most inviting proportions.

Passenger

Get timely information on passenger flow to inform and guide passengers in real-time to ensure the smoothest possible experience.

How it works

Efficient LiDAR-based sensing solution

This solution provides high-accuracy, real-time tracking across large areas and thousands of passengers. It is GDPR compliant by definition.

Real-time digital twin with data-driven insights

The digital twin features an intuitive and interactive 3D UI. It easily integrates with existing data sources, such as edge AI cameras. The platform is inherently cybersecure and includes performance monitoring.

Artificial Intelligence

AI offers advanced analytics to understand passenger movement changes with vendor-independent intelligence. It supports predefined and adaptive zones, triggers instant alarms, and provides dashboards for analyzing KPIs and trends.

Identify cross flows to minimize disturbances to passenger flow

Detect cross flows with AI and set alerts to know when and where it happens on the platform.

Improve train car & equipment performance

View equipment use patterns and trends (e.g., where passengers wait and which cars they board/exit) in the dashboard, analyze the data, and optimize for best people flow.

KEY FEATURES

Simulation

Easily accessible elevator access control to prioritize people movement in buildings, optimizing peak hour traffic and ensuring safety by flexibly restricting access to specific floors.

APIs

Take people movement insights into use to optimize building operations, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to reduce building costs and energy consumption without new equipment.

Dashboard

Easily accessible elevator access control to prioritize people movement in buildings, optimizing peak hour traffic and ensuring safety by flexibly restricting access to specific floors.

Playback

Take people movement insights into use to optimize building operations, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to reduce building costs and energy consumption without new equipment.

KONE Station Twin makes life easier

aaThis will make the life of many people so much easier. We don’t have accurate data or a clear view of what is not working. With Station Twin you can see overcrowding in one-view. This is somehow at the moment monitored by many people through several CCTV cameras.

Use cases

Prevent overcrowding before it happens

Monitor the number and location of passengers on the platform in real time. Set occupancy alerts based on congestion-level or predefined thresholds.

React to congestion at key locations

Detect and get alerts to congestion at predefined and adaptive zones.

Minimize equipment downtime and passenger flow incidents

Let AI identify how passenger movement changes in relation to equipment usage and get alerts to potential equipment failures regardless of vendor.

LiDAR, The inherently private sensing solution

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, which is a method of measuring distances to nearby objects. It produces an accurate and real-time 3D scan of the environment.

Without any photographic capabilities, people and things are recognizable only by their shape and size, making it private and GDPR compliant by nature.

CYBERSECURITY

Privacy and cybersecurity included

01

LiDAR is inherently GDPR compliant, unlike AI-powered CCTV or edge AI camera solutions.

02

KONE Station Twin is built on an inherently cybersecure AWS IoT platform, which is also scalable, reliable and easy to integrate with.

03

As a frontrunner with a proven track record of developing various digital and cloud-based services, KONE is a reliable partner for innovative solutions.

All-in-one for a holistic view

KONE has a long history of providing people flow solutions to transit stations, many of them equipped with connected KONE products. With KONE Station Twin you can have a bird’s eye view of not only the LiDAR-based people flow monitoring with top-of-the-line accuracy, privacy, and coverage, but also the elevators and escalators that make the people flow nice and smooth.
