DB mindbox Selection Day - Regional Traffic 2024

SonoBeacon chosen to Deutsche Bahn’s signature startup program.

​

A reliable forecast of the capacity utilization of buses is essential. Merely taking counts is not sufficient for this, rather the analysis and understanding of the dynamics of passenger flows is paramount.

 

Therefore, after a tough selection process, SonoBeacon was chosen to put this technology to the acid test in regular operation together at DB Regio.

 

More news about the project and our associated partners will follow soon.
