Data acquisition systems can count passengers on vehicles such as buses and trains. While there are several technologies involved in passenger-counting, so far, video passenger counting systems have a much higher level of accuracy and versatility. Video passenger counters can keep track of the number of people boarding a vehicle at each stopping point and they are about 98% accurate. On the other hand, with manual counting, figures can be out by 15%.

Even though the European countries have specified the common goals in the Paris Agreement back in 2015, many of them still have a long way to go. Which are the most polluted cities in Europe and why?
The Paris Agreement - what has it changes?
In December 2015, during the climate conference in Paris (COP21), a significant decision was made.

Here are a few reasons for Tradewind Education why you should strive to become a great teacher.
1. The Opportunity To Share Your Passion
This is rather something to aim for than a prerequisite. Who didn't need to put up with teachers who didn't appear to be enthusiastic about doing their job? The best teachers, however, particularly the ones who know how to motivate their students to learn , are usually also the ones who are really passionate about their job and about the things they teach. Such teachers may simply love math, or acknowledge the importance of the match in...

Despite various lockdown measures and guidelines, where we stand with the virus is still largely uncertain. As some return to their normal jobs and life begins revealing something a bit closer to normal, a number of us...
