Title of the Project Real-time Bus Occupancy Estimation using Wi-Fi Probe Requests
Project Keywords public transportation, bus occupancy, data collection, data analysis, machine learning, deep learning, Wi-Fi probe requests, internet of things
Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes
Number of Research Assistants Needed 6
Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Open to all majors.
Project Location: On FSU Main Campus
If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? The data collection will be done on FSU campus shuttle buses
Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Partially Remote

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)
Overall Research Project Description This study proposes leveraging IoT-enabled devices, particularly smartphones, using Wi-Fi technology for transit data collection and analysis. It aims to develop a monitoring system that detects smartphones in real-time, capturing data like MAC addresses and GPS coordinates to infer transit patterns. Challenges include Wi-Fi signal range and device detection inconsistencies. Pilot studies in Florida will validate the system's efficacy across diverse transit systems. Implementing this system enables transit agencies to optimize vehicle dispatching and scheduling while enhancing the overall user experience by providing valuable insights into transit travel flow patterns.
Research Tasks The primary objective is to collect Wi-Fi data from FSU campus shuttle buses and manually count the bus occupancy for each station.
Students interested in analyzing Wi-Fi data and developing machine learning or deep learning models can pursue additional opportunities.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Complete the task diligently and ensure accurate counting.
Mentoring Philosophy Fostering collaboration and support, enabling everyone to contribute to each other's growth and productivity through mutual assistance, encouragement, and shared learning experiences, cultivating a positive and productive environment.
