AI for Public Transit Fare Evasion Detection & Policy Analytics

Detect fare evasion and evaluate policy impacts using validator/gate data, CV on gates, and ridership analytics to improve revenue and fairness.

Fare evasion erodes revenue and trust. AI combines validator taps, gate counters, and computer vision to spot anomalies, while policy analytics simulate inspection, gating, and pricing options.

Elasticity modeling for fare changes and capping.

Equity impact assessment by corridor/time.

Real-time alerts to inspectors with evidence.

Demographics by zone for equity analysis.

Streaming validator/gate/APC feeds; quality checks.

CV ingestion from gates/doors with privacy filters.
