Abstract

Bus passenger counting is a critical part of public transportation, and it is an effective way of collecting data on passenger demands and improving the quality of transportations. This research paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of bus passenger counting technologies, including their advantages, limitations, and potential applications. The paper will review the existing bus operators' methods for counting passengers and their experiences with these systems, both from technical and operational perspectives. This paper will also evaluate the potential benefits of a bus passenger count system, including improved passenger safety, increased operational efficiency, and better data for planning and analysis. The study will also highlight the effectiveness of integrating an infrared sensor with an Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) and offers a practical and affordable option. This study lays the way for the implementation of APC systems in public transportation networks that are more effective and precise, enabling better passenger counts and wise decision-making in transportation operations.
