Public Transit Passenger Counting

Saudi Vision 2030
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
