A method and a system for improving safety in public transport infrastructures

摘要

A method and a system 100 for monitoring occupancy of a seat arranged in a transportation vehicle 200. The method comprises transmitting a first presence status parameter, which is based upon an output from a detection device 1', such as a pressure sensor system arranged near a seat, to an occupancy management system 5 remote to the vehicle. A second presence parameter is set by the occupancy management system 5 by checking for receipt of data identifying a unit 4, such as a Bluetooth beacon, which communicates with a passengers mobile device 7, the receipt of a booking cancellation or a change of booking. A schedule parameter, such as a vehicle schedule, is also received by the occupancy management system 5. An occupancy status parameter is determined using the first and second presence parameter and the schedule parameter.
