Abstract
A passenger transport system has a device for registering users in a pass-through zone and the device includes at least two sensors, which sensors operate in accordance with the time-of-flight measurement principle, and a signal evaluation unit. Each sensor includes an emitter emitting electromagnetic waves into a detection area and a receiver, arranged adjacent to the emitter, that acquires the electromagnetic waves that were emitted by the emitter and reflected from the detection area, wherein the emitter and the receiver of each sensor are directed into the pass-through zone. At least one sensor of the device is respectively arranged on opposing sides of the pass-through zone and the principal direction axes of the detection areas of the sensors are arranged parallel to one another and orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the pass-through zone.
