“…Souza et al ( 2011 ) proposed a tracking system for urban buses based on a microcontroller that collects data to count the number of people on a bus through infrared sensors—the PIC18F452 microcontroller was used in this system. Also, the prototype receives data from a GPS module.…”

“…Many different technologies are used for people counting. For example, passenger activity can be detected either by infrared or ultrasonic sensors (Souza et al, ( 2011 ) and Strathman et al ( 2005 ), by cameras Chen et al ( 2012 ) and Lefloch et al ( 2008 ), and mobile devices by collecting Wi-Fi signals (Bernini et al, 2014 ). Studies such as (Kimpel et al, 2003 ; Ma, Liu, et al, 2015 ; Strathman et al, 2005 ) have shown the effectiveness of an automatic counting system compared to manual data collection.…”

Accurately estimating the number of people is a useful information to monitor the occupancy level of spaces due to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to keep social distancing. Automated counters are responsible for accurately counting people movement. This paper proposes a cost-effective automatic counting system based on a microcontroller through an infrared sensor integration to monitor occupancy of indoor spaces. In order to evaluate the proposed system in real-world scenarios, experiments were carried out at the main campus of the University of Campinas—Brazil. For the first case, two prototypes were installed at both the front and rear door of a bus in order to count the number of passengers boarding and alighting on the vehicle during its operation. In the second case, three prototypes were installed in the university restaurant ticket gates in order to count the number of people entering during lunchtime. Experimental results showed an accuracy of 91.45% and 98.65% for Cases 1 and 2, respectively. The results are promising, showing that the device has potential to be used for different proposes, such as controlling access to public and indoor spaces, public transportation planning, occupancy monitoring, and security system.

“…The method can be used to an alyze the flow of people and objects to acquire information about the people size, flow of targets, and length of stay, in addition to analyzing and utilizing such location information in connection with BI tools and AI systems. The current study is the first empirical experiment in Korea to apply the laser sensor measurement technology in an airport to understand the feasibility of the proposed system, which analyzes the travel flow, congestion, and wait times [14,15,16,18]. The objective is to suggest techniques to visualize the collected flow information and enhance customer service.…”

There are wide and recent research efforts to extract location information of people in certain spaces, with new services using this information in real space being launched in the market.In particular, there are emerging services and solutions that measure movement flow of people in airports, public facilities, commercial facilities, factories, warehouses, and other locations to mitigate congestion or enhance security and safety in these spaces.Methods of measuring the movement flow of people include camera image analysis, Wi-Fi, beacon, and RFID, but these methods are inconvenient as the tracking targets must carry a certain medium (smartphone, RFID tag, etc.), while camera images infringe upon personal privacy, posing many problems for commercialization of these movement flow technologies.In order to solve this problem, the current study applies a movement flow measurement technology using laser sensors, applying it to a Korean airport to verify its feasibility through an experiment.The researchers propose a method to improve customer service by analyzing the passenger movement flow, congestion levels, and wait time at the airport using the acquired data.

“…Além de soluções relacionadas a melhoria da gestão do serviço de transporte urbano, diversos trabalhos têm proposto soluções baseadas em hardware e software. Em [6], os autores propuseram uma solução baseada em sistemas embarcados que visa gerir e monitorar a localização de ônibus a partir do GPS para melhorar o fluxo de pessoas, enquanto que os autores em [7] [7] propõem uma solução para determinação automática de ambos: rota realizada pelos ônibus e hora de chegada do veículo nos próximos pontos de ônibus. Já em [8] é proposto o software denominado Ônibus PoA, que visa facilitar o acesso dos usuários às informações das linhas de ônibus, como, horários e pontos de parada.…”

Combined with the increasing density of mobile telephony in Brazil, the monitoring of bus routes and alert of possible dangers becomes a reality. In this context, a monitoring tool can support the safety of users and qualitatively improves the control of the location of collective vehicles. This work describes and exposes the relevance of using the system called Security System for Bus (SSBus). The SSBus consists of two pieces of software that were produced for Android and a web management system. The efficiency of this proposal was evaluated through experiments carried out in three Brazilian cities that use the third and fourth generation mobile communications networks. During the tests data were collected to generate statistics based on the precision of the implemented algorithm.
