Pa-Count: Passenger Counting in Vehicles Using Wi-Fi Signals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Passenger counting is crucial for many applications such as vehicle scheduling and traffic capacity assessment. However, most of the existing solutions are either high-cost, privacy invasive or not suitable for passengers the vehicle scenarios. In this work, we propose thePa-Count, an effective real-timePassengerCounting system deployed inside the vehicle via using Wi-FiCSI(Channel State Information). Specifically, in Pa-Count, we design a set of combined filters to eliminate environmental interference and enhance CSI quality. In so doing, we can identify the fluctuation of weak CSI caused by passengers’ subtle movement, i.e., the fidgeting, and then obtain the distribution of fidgeting period and silent period. Following that, we describe the subtle movements of passengers via power law with exponential cutoff distribution and establish a counting model based on the queuing theory. A mathematical inference method with a priori probability is devised to calculate the number of real-time passengers through CSI. We evaluate the performance of the Pa-Count by conducting a set of experiments in real-world vehicle scenarios (including private car and subway). Experimental results show that Pa-Count can achieve robust performance with an average accuracy of over 92$\%$.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
