Abstract
Systems and methods for determining vehicle crowdedness are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, real-time location data including information identifying a real-time location corresponding to a transit station for each of a plurality of user computing devices; determining, by the computing system using a vehicle crowdedness model, a vehicle crowdedness for one or more transit vehicles departing from one or more transit stations based at least in part on the real-time location data; and communicating, by the computing system, data indicative of the vehicle crowdedness for the one or more transit vehicles to a particular user computing device. The data indicative of the vehicle crowdedness can include information for displaying the vehicle crowdedness for the one or more transit vehicles on the particular user computing device.
