The brief

West Midlands Trains requires a train count Database to serve as a repository for train count data to inform business decisions on timetables/train service capacity/pricing, fulfil official business obligations for service ridership reporting and inform passengers about expected train loadings.

Data is provided by automatic passenger counts (APC) directly from certain train fleet types as well as manual passenger count data from a variety of sources.

It is envisaged that the Train Count Database will be hosted by the winning bidder and accessed via a web-based browser.

The services are to be provided across the entire WMT network.
