It is imperative for a transit system to track statistics about their ridership in order to plan bus routes. There exists a wide variety of methods for obtaining these statistics that range from relying on the driver to count people to utilizing cameras and sensors. Utah State University (USU) has undertaken the task of creating a high accuracy people counter using a texel camera. The project has two main objectives. The first and most important is to develop a system that accurately counts the number of people entering and exiting a bus. The second is to associate each exiting passenger with a passenger that previously entered. This information will better allow a transit system to track image of buses and strips.
