Real-time crowding information –positive impacts on metro
Linked Projects
Challenge / Goal
The usage of metro by Stockholm population have been steadily increasing every year. In some periods of the day, especially peak hours the metro trains tend to be very crowded. Passenger load in peak hours tend to be unevenly distributed with some metro trains with loads over the capacity and others with more free space, which deteriorates the public transport experience. People don’t have information about the metro train crowd and they tend to just enter in the first they see
Solutions
With a real-time crowding information (RTCI) people will be able to see in real-time the load of the metro trains, and then decide in which one they will enter.
