Abstract

Due to the rapid increase in population, the usage of public transportation like local buses is increasing day by day, especially in metropolitan cities, particularly in India, one densely populated country in the world. Due to this, we are in need of proper crowd management in public transport, so we have developed automated crowd management in public transport (MTC BUS) through an IR sensor integrated with an online ticket booking system. Due to the unavailability of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the bus coming into the bus stop for their destination, a high-demand route is congested with a high number of passengers when compared with a low-demand route at a similar or slight variation of the ETA. This leads to improper usage of public transport and an uneven distribution of crowd density. So, the crowd in the bus is estimated by fitting an IR sensor in the door of the bus for calculating passenger count and classifying them into levels based on crowd density, and the ETA is calculated based on the Machine learning algorithm. Decision-making on allocating bus route numbers is based on ETA and demand for the buses on the selected route. All these processes are connected with the online ticket booking system.
