Public Transit Passenger Counting

Overview
Count passengers boarding and alighting public transit buses using video-based AI or infrared sensors integrated with GPS trackers. Correlate ridership data with routes, stops, and time of day to optimize schedules and capacity planning.
Challenges
- Manual passenger counting is labor-intensive and inaccurate
- Over-crowded buses cause passenger dissatisfaction and safety risks
- No data to justify adding or removing bus routes
- Revenue leakage from uncounted passengers
Benefits
- Automatic passenger counting at each stop with GPS correlation
- Occupancy rate dashboards by route, stop, and time of day
- Data-driven schedule optimization to match demand
- Revenue reconciliation with actual ridership data
