The objective of this project was to develop and test an experimental approach to count the number of passengers entering and exiting rail transit cars through a wide stream door. Testing of the Cyclops system demonstrated that radar is a variable method for counting single passenger entering or exiting anywhere along the wide stream door. Both the radar and the video elements were tested aboard Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail rapid transit cars, with wide stream doors, during revenue service. It was demonstrated that radar and video are viable methods for counting single passengers entering or exiting anywhere along the wide stream door. Challenges associated with using radar and video for passenger count extraction were also evaluated.
