We propose the development and deployment of a Smart Passenger Counting System utilizing advanced sensors and data analytics. The system will integrate with existing ticket validation infrastructure to capture comprehensive data on passenger counts, boarding and alighting points, and travel times. This system will leverage technologies such as computer vision, infrared sensors, and real-time data processing to provide accurate and actionable insights.
How It Solves the City Challenge:
- Comprehensive Data Collection: Provides detailed insights into passenger flow, allowing for precise analysis of boarding and alighting patterns.
- Route Optimization: Enables data-driven adjustments to bus routes and schedules, enhancing efficiency and service frequency based on actual demand.
- Privacy Compliance: Incorporates advanced data protection measures to ensure compliance with regulations and safeguard passenger privacy.
