Abstract

Bus passenger flow statistics can be used to improve passenger travelling experience and reduce trip delay, this is very important for intelligent transportation. In this paper, a bus passenger flow statistics algorithm based on SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) and Kalman filter is proposed to obtain passenger flow statistics from surveillance cameras on the buses. The method modifies the SSD model to a two-class model and trains the twoclass SSD model using the bus dataset first, then the model is used to detect the position of the passengers in each frame and are tracked with the Kalman filter. Finally, according to the passenger trajectory, the traffic statistics of passenger getting on and off will be generated. The results of some conducted experiments show that the proposed bus passenger flow statistics algorithm is more accurate and robust than traditional methods. Keywords Computer vision .

Multimedia Tools and Applications

With the popularization of vehicle networking technology and the improvement of public transportation infrastructure, the intelligent public transportation system has been gradually improved. Whether you are an ordinary passenger, the real-time bus information is important. The bus information such as location, traffic conditions and speed can be ignored for you, but you may care the spare seats and the passenger density in the bus. The passengers may wait for a bus for a long time, but the bus is overloaded. It is an inconvenience and unpleasantness for the waiting passenger. There are many difficulties in bus passenger flow statistics, such as the passenger dress, luggage, weather changes, light changes, etc. all of these will affect the algorithm to identify passengers. In the literature of Ravi et al. [1], a target statistical algorithm for region segmentation is proposed, which uses ba
