Automatic Passengers Counting In Public Rail Transport Using Wavelets

Automatic Passengers Counting In Public Rail Transport Using Wavelets

Previously, we introduced a passengers’ counting algorithm in public rail transport. The main disadvantage of that algorithm is it lacks automatic event detection. In this article, we implement two automatic wavelet-based passengers counting algorithms. The new algorithms employ the spatial-domain Laplacian-of-Gaussian-based wavelet, and the frequency-domain applied Non-Linear Difference of Gau...

Haptic Feedback for Passengers Using Public Transport

People using public transport systems need two kinds of basic information (1) when, where and which bus/train to board, and (2) when to exit the vehicle. In this paper we propose a system that helps the user know his/her stop is nearing. The main objective of our system is to overcome the ’neck down’ approach of any visual interface which requires the user to look into the mobile screen for ale...

Passenger Counting in Public Rail Transport - Using Head-shoulder Contour Tracking

Automated people counting has multiple applications: referring passengers to vehicles with empty seats, gathering statistical information for railway companies to improve their distribution of vehicles, etc. In this paper, a people counting algorithm for public transport vehicles is presented. First, head-shoulder contours are detected by adaboost classification of a combination of a histogram ...

Nicol, J. F., Dore, C., Weiner, J. S., Lee, D. E., Prestidge, S. P., and Andrews, M. J. (1973). British Journal ofIndustrial Medicine, 30, 325-334. Comfort studies of rail passengers. A short series of trials is described inwhich a specimen car of the new High Density Rolling Stock was laden with passengers at different densities and under different environmental constraints, designed to simula...
