Rationale:

Public Utility Vehicles (PUV) namely jeepney, buses, etc. are the most popular

means of public transportation in the Philippines. Transportation in the Philippines is

relatively underdeveloped, partly due to the country's mountainous areas and scattered

islands, and partly as a result of the government's persistent underinvestment in the

nation's infrastructure. In recent years, however, the Philippine government has been

pushing to improve the transportation system in the country through Public Utility

Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). The PUVMP hopes to promote a safer and

more environment-friendly option for commuters. The program mandates the installation

of speed limit devices in the new modern vehicle, dashcams are installed at the panel of

the car screens, modern PUVs have bigger seats to guarantee improved comfort and

convenience for the commuters, and has an automatic fare system. Despite of these

specifications of the modern PUV, they must also include the installation of an automated

PUV passenger vacancy display system. This is a safety measure because the system can
automatically count the passenger embarking and disembarking from the vehicle at the

same time passengers outside can clearly see the number of seats vacancy.

Objectives

This project aims to design a system for an automated PUV passenger vacancy

display system, which envisions operational efficiency, modern, and well-managed

transport sector where drivers and operators can both benefit, while commuters get to

their destinations safely and comfortably.
