Could you give more details of the kind of information they receive from wifi tracking that they don't already through oyster barriers and how this helps with service designs?


Just guess but: Accurate real-time data of passenger movement through the stations.

Barriers only tell you when they enter/exit, they give you no information about the routes people use, how long it takes them, how many people transfer between lines etc


They want to detect overcrowding of stations which means before people have gone through any barriers


Passenger movements within stations, and between stations where there are often many possible routes.
