Smart Technologies for Efficient Crowd Control and Real-time Monitoring in Public Transist System

Abstract: Efficient crowd management in public transportation enhances passenger comfort, safety and operational efficiency. This project introduces a smart allotment system for managing crowds in public transport, focusing on real-time monitoring of bus capacity and bus stop crowd density. The system comprises two modules: the bus module and the bus stop module. The bus module uses an ESP32 microcontroller, IR sensors for passenger counting, and a DC motor for automated door control. Real-time seat availability is displayed on an LCD within the bus and shared with the bus depot via Zigbee communication.
