Ask HN: How to identify the number of people on a bus?

1 pointsby betimd8 months ago
What kind of technology (LiDAR or ViDAR) would help us identify the number of people on a bus?<p>People inside might have RFID &#x2F; NFC technology with them, like badges, but we can&#x27;t count on them 100% as someone might forget or not have that piece at all.<p>Of course, buses will slow down when they come to a &quot;checkpoint&quot; to allow devices (cameras) to perform better scanning.<p>By the way, it&#x27;s a civil project, nothing to do with law enforcement. A huge convention center wants to know in advance, if 100 buses are coming, what number of participants to expect at their gate.

While in college and the University of Texas in Austin I had job counting people getting on and off the city busses and UT shuttles.

Wouldn&#x27;t it be a bit late when they are already in the buses?

Ask the driver, they will know.
