Abstract:
"The issue of overcrowding and uncertainty about transportation arrival times and crowd levels in
public transportation causes people to seek alternative modes of transportation. To address this,
our solution introduces an IoT device to provide real-time information on the number of passengers
and crowd prediction in public transportation, as well as periods of expected crowding. The
methodology used involves implementing the IoT device to count the number of passengers on a
bus and integrating this information with a software platform to provide the necessary information
to recipients. The main results show that this system can help recipients estimate waiting time
periods, use public transportation in less crowded time slots, and plan their tasks efficiently with
live location and arrival time information. The system can also help reduce overcrowding in public
transport and enhance the efficiency of humans by reducing time wastage. The research concludes
that this software can provide valuable information to frequent public transportation users to make
efficient transportation decisions, ultimately resulting in a reduction in human traffic in public
transportation and a smoother commuting experience."
