Gateway-400
onboard counting computer
The GW-400 communication Gateway is a compact onboard counting computer that works together with the sensors from our DA-Series to create a highly accurate and precise Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) system. The ultra-compact GW-400 is fully autonomous or can be easily connected to other existing onboard computers. Its built-in power supply can adapt to a wide range of voltages.
These counting computers are installed inside the vehicles. At each stop or station, they receive the signals from the DA-200 or DA-400, transforms them into counting data, which are then stored in the GW-400’s memory until it receives a download command.
The data is usually transferred, directly from the GW-400, via a wireless module to the ground data analysis server. This saves on cabling costs and installation time. What’s more, the GW-400 is flexible and cost effective. Up to four GW-400s can be installed inside a vehicle to reduce cabling complexity or avoid problems that could be encountered in older vehicles.

The GW-400 records:
- “In” and “Out” counts per sensor, per door at each stop
- Time of arrival and departure at each stop
- Stop location and distance (with GPS option)
- Distance (if odometer signal available)
- Time of passage in front of stop or station without vehicle stop (virtual signpost)
- Speed of door opening and closing
- Detailed diagnostic information on sensors, GPS, door signals, system integrity, etc.
Connectivity
