Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for tracking occupancy on a transit system is provided. The present invention may include receiving passenger information for passengers boarding a public transit system comprising one or more cars; counting the passengers within each of the cars of the public transit system based on the location of each of the passengers; identifying, based on the location of each of the passengers, whether each of the passengers is seated or standing; and displaying, based on the counting and identifying of the passengers, the current occupancy of each of the cars.
Claims20
A processor-implemented method for tracking occupancy within a public transit system, the method comprising:
- receiving passenger information for each of a plurality of passengers boarding the public transit system comprising one or more cars;
- counting the plurality of passengers within each of the one or more cars of the public transit system based on the location of each passenger;
- identifying, based on the location of each passenger, whether each passenger is seated or standing;
- and
- displaying, based on the counting and identifying of the plurality of passengers, a current occupancy of each car.
A computer system for tracking occupancy within a public transit system, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- receiving passenger information for each of a plurality of passengers boarding the public transit system comprising one or more cars;
- counting the plurality of passengers within each of the one or more cars of the public transit system based on the location of each passenger;
- identifying, based on the location of each passenger, whether each passenger is seated or standing;
- and
- displaying, based on the counting and identifying of the plurality of passengers, a current occupancy of each car.
A computer program product for tracking occupancy within a public transit system, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving passenger information for each of a plurality of passengers boarding the public transit system comprising one or more cars;
- counting the plurality of passengers within each of the one or more cars of the public transit system based on the location of each passenger;
- identifying, based on the location of each passenger, whether each passenger is seated or standing;
- and
- displaying, based on the counting and identifying of the plurality of passengers, a current occupancy of each car.
