The paper aims at developing a passenger counting system application using key information collected through the means of IR Sensors and RFID tags/readers, which in turn, will enhance the efficiency of the entire transportation system. Currently, there is no transparency in the public transportation system. The paper puts forth the concept of accurately counting and monitoring passengers while they either enter or exit the bus/tram. The system framework revolves around
people detection and further tracking. The application detects every person using IR-Sensors when he or she enters the bus/tram. The person is then tracked using these sensors until he/she leaves the bus/tram. Moreover, the paper helps to propose the methodology through which information will be provided about the bus/tram to the passengers waiting for the bus/tram along with the information containing the location of the bus/tram, emphasizing on whether the bus/tram running on time or is delayed.
