Abstract
According to various embodiments, there is provided a passenger load prediction system including: a component configured to detect a wireless device carried by a passenger on a train or a train station platform, the train including a plurality of train cars; a passenger to train car mapper configured to determine a location of the passenger, based on a location of the wireless device; a destination predictor configured to predict a destination of the passenger, based at least in part on an identifier code of the wireless device; and a train car load level estimator configured to predict a respective passenger load of each train car of the plurality of train cars, based on the predicted destination and further based on the determined location of the passenger.
