This project developed and tested a foot pressure generated, mat type, passenger sensor and interface system for real-time passenger counting, classification and transit ridership data. The system was assembled and, after laboratory tests, was installed on a Cobb County, GA, Community Transit vehicle to collect data under various boarding scenarios. A video camera system recorded foot strikes on the mat. A study was also conducted to determine the potential error sources. Results show that the system can determine when passenger is entering or exiting. However, the system was not able to differentiate passengers (man, women or child) on the basis of foot size, pressure distribution and weight derived from the total pressure distributed over the image area. An innovative system to augment passenger monitoring was also proposed.
