Abstract
The project aim is to develop an adaptive public transport control system based on current and historical passenger behavior data. Standard camera systems installed inside the vehicles and at the bus stops will be used to automate the collection of traffic-rich anonymous data for the creation of traffic load models and demand forecasting. Advanced image processing and machine learning methods will extract traffic-relevant data for each individual passenger (boarding time in and out, place of boarding, time needed to get in and off the bus etc.). This data will then be used in the development of prediction models and algorithms for adaptive and efficient public transport management.
