Cabin Census — Per-Car Occupancy for Transit

Pilot target for coarse transit occupancy; not an operational passenger count without vehicle-specific validation.

Readiness Shared-family mapped

Mapped to a shared offline runtime family and usable with a recording or compatible ESP32 CSI stream.

Evidence Proven Research data

A comparable sensing task was demonstrated on public research data; this product, site, and safety workflow remain unvalidated.

Runtime family Occupancy estimate

Coarse occupancy estimate from calibrated multi-link field activity.

When no ESP32 is connected

No compatible ESP32 stream is connected. Use the bundled Automotive recording; it demonstrates the shared Occupancy estimate runtime, not independent proof of this capability.

Intended capability

Evaluate the sensing evidence for “Cabin Census — Per-Car Occupancy for Transit” in a stationary, controlled, ground-truthed vehicle study. This is not a vehicle, occupant, child, pet, or driver-safety system.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is shared-family mapped, evidence is class A, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Solution blueprint

This exact kit is one of 191 first-class designs. It includes geometry, objects, nodes, wording, scenarios, installation, limitations, and catalog-bound readiness.

Bundled recording

A related Automotive scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

Each human body absorbs and scatters 2.4/5GHz energy; aggregate body count shifts mean CSI attenuation and motion richness, while spatial distribution shapes which RTI voxels attenuate. Count-to-CSI relationship is already demonstrated at r=0.9.

02 Shared processing path

Doppler activity statistics + attenuation features -> occupancy regression (class-A) -> RTI differential imaging for density heatmap -> cross-vehicle transfer via z-score normalization so one calibration fleet generalizes.

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

WiMANS multi-person and OPERAnet occupancy tasks for the counting core; own pilot: one instrumented commuter car vs APC infrared gate counts over 2 weeks.

04 Commercial hypothesis

GDPR-clean crowding telemetry feeding real-time 'which car is empty' passenger apps — sold to transit authority operations and passenger-experience directors.
