Abstract:An evaluation of three commercial passenger counter systems was conducted to assess the potential performance of these systems for use as part of the Multi-User AVM System. Tests were structured to assess the counting accuracy of each counter under identical situations of passenger boardings and alightings. This was accomplished through the use of a laboratory test stand and also through ten days of testing all three counters on an operating transit bus. Environmental tests were also conducted on the sensor elements of all three counters. One counter incorporated treadle mats at each doorstep. The other two counters incorporated infrared beams established across each doorway. Test data indicated that the counter which incorporated treadle mats exhibited superior counting performance over the other two counters.
