Usage of Complex Counting and Survey System in the Planning of Urban Public Transport System

Abstract

One of the main problems of planning urban public transport systems is the calculation of demand. The simplest way to solve this problem is to perform a detailed passenger counting and questioner. Through the project “Új Magyarország” TIOP 1.3.1 the Department of Transport at the Széchenyi István University has got a new complex system to support passenger counting and passenger surveys. This article summaries the need for such a system, the operation and the first experiences with it.
