Autonomous Passenger Counting And Tracking System

In metropolitan city, public transportation plays a crucial role in day-to-day life of the people. The effective transportation will be ensured by the smart counting system with the help of LIDAR sensor. The VL53L1X (LIDAR) sensor will be employed for counting and recording of passengers. In this case, the sensor will do passenger counting and recording using 940 nm class one laser for monitoring purposes. SIM7600 4G GSM module will be used to enable connectivity and facilitate data transmission, communication as well as internet access for the application and ESP32 Microcontroller plays a major role as main control unit of all the sensors. Neo 6M GPS module will ensure efficient route management, real-time updates and precision in location tracking. Incorporation with Firebase and Flutter flow made it possible to create a mobile application that is user-friendly where one gets green for enough space, yellow for limited space and red when it is fully booked. It will also enhance capacity management as well as planning for the passenger movements. The counting device along with GPS tracking makes this app more convenient among the users due to the additional seat availability along with the live location.
