On-board Passenger Counting

On-board systems collect transit vehicle loading data and make it available to the center.

1. The transit vehicle shall count passengers boarding and alighting.
2. The passenger counts shall be related to location to support association of passenger counts with routes, route segments, or bus stops.
3. The passenger counts shall be timestamped so that ridership can be measured by time of day and day of week.
4. The transit vehicle shall send the collected passenger count information to the transit center.
