Cover Story: The paper reviews and benchmarks Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems—pressure, wireless, optical infrared sensors, and video imaging—key for public transport companies and transport authorities in understanding mobility patterns and planning and programming the service. Through interviews and a survey, a benchmark analysis is conducted using ten criteria: technology, accuracy, environment, coverage, interface, interference, robustness, price, pricing model, and system integration. KPIs are then developed to measure the performance and compare APC systems. The results of the benchmarking analysis offer insights into the costs and accuracy of different APC systems, enabling informed decision making for transport companies and authorities regarding system selection and implementation.
