ETA supplies automatic passenger counting as an integrated solution rather than a sensor of its own, letting agencies select from supported hardware or connect equipment already installed. Its Vehicle Logic Unit reads the sensors and transmits counts in real time to SPOT, ETA's cloud CAD/AVL platform, whose reporting engine produces tabular, graphical and analytical ridership reports. Tally is the survey, validation and NTD-certification layer, used to run sample trips and reconcile automated against manual counts. ETA deployed the first Xovis, then HELLA, APC sensors in the US in 2013 at Miami, Florida.

iris designs and manufactures the IRMA family of automatic passenger counting sensors, used in public transport worldwide since the company's founding in Berlin in 1991. Current lines are IRMA 6R2 and IRMA MATRIX, both using time-of-flight sensing to build 3D depth images and detect passengers alongside luggage, wheelchairs, strollers and bicycles. IRMA onAir is a cloud IoT platform that connects fleet sensors and exposes a Reporting REST-API for third-party business-intelligence tools rather than providing ridership analysis directly. iris sensors are resold inside several other products in this landscape.

CleverCount is an automatic passenger counting solution built on iris IRMA MATRIX time-of-flight sensors working with Clever Devices' own IVN onboard computer. Counts feed CleverInsights for cleaning, validation and NTD reporting, with Ridecheck Plus for survey management and CleverReports for wider agency dashboards. The APC reporting layer can be deployed standalone, alongside third-party systems, or as part of the complete CleverCount solution. Clever Devices supplies a broad ITS portfolio, so purchase orders typically bundle APC with other systems.
