SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING VEHICLE OCCUPANCY RATE

Various embodiments are described herein for methods, devices and systems that can be used to determine an occupancy count for a vehicle, the occupancy count corresponding to a number of occupants in a vehicle. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of data signals from a corresponding one or more occupancy data sources, storing a plurality of occupancy data source records, where each occupancy data source record corresponds to each data signal received at the processor, analyze the plurality of occupancy data signals to identify an input state of each of the one or more occupancy data sources for a duration of time, the duration of time being marked by a starting time and a stopping time of the vehicle, process the plurality of occupancy data signals based on the identified input state of the corresponding occupancy data source and generate the occupancy count corresponding to the vehicle based on the processing of the plurality of occupancy data signals.
