Abstract:

The mechanics of automated passenger counting on transit buses and the accuracy of these systems are discussed. Count data needs to be time coded and distance/location information is necessary for effectively correlating data to specific bus stops or other key locations. To check accuracy of automated data, results were compared with that from the typical on-board ride-checker. Ride checkers performed generally better than APC's. It was show that ride checkers are more accurate on boardings than alightings; that standee loads obstruct checkers from recording departures through the center door. Checkers' accuracy also varies from day to day, and between individuals. APS's do not suffer from human variability. There are mechanical problems, with the automatic devices, particularly the sensor equipment.
