BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12. Our modern generation carriages have already been equipped with sensor that measures the percentage of occupancy, Chairman of Baku Metro CJSC, Vusal Aslanov, said in an interview with Trend News Agency and Azad Azerbaijan Independent Television and Radio Company.
According to him, as the train approaches the platform, the passenger will know in advance which carriage of the five-car train is relatively empty.
"The 'AYNA MaaS' software currently displays train intervals of the Baku Metro. Through this software, passengers can use micromobility, bus, and metro services together to get from point A to point B. This information is also integrated into Google Maps. Our modern generation carriages have already been equipped with equipment that measures the percentage of occupancy; we are currently continuing the test mode. As the train approaches the platform, the passenger will know in advance which carriage of the five-car train is relatively empty. The main problem at the moment is the uneven distribution of passengers on the platform - as a result, some train carriages are densely packed, while others remain half-empty. We plan to reflect this information both on the electronic scoreboard and in the mobile application. This solution will be ready in our fourth-generation trains; for third-generation carriages, additional equipment will need to be installed," he said.
