摘要: |
The purpose of the study was to determine if transit vehicle security camera footage could be paired with Autoscope software to automatically count transit passenger boardings. The research was limited to community transportation systems vehicles. After attempting multiple detector placements in multiple vehicle types with multiple camera configurations, the results show promise that algorithms can be set up in a cost effective manner for counting passenger trips repeatedly on the same vehicle, but less promise that a standard algorithm can be developed that will accurately count passenger trips even on the same vehicle type with similar camera configurations. Because this research stems from a specific need for NCDOT to be able to validate passenger trip reporting from transit systems, two sampling plans are suggested as well as expected costs. One involves manual counts using spot-checks of data and the other involves more robust analysis of a single vehicle from each transit system operating deviated fixed route service. |
