Correlating The Mac Address with The Passenger: Wi-Fi Scanner Survey on Paratransit Mode

Abstract

Origin-destination (OD) information is very useful for transportation management and planning. OD provides a detail information about traffic volume or passenger volume for each zone in the area. In developing countries, the paratransit mode produces varied OD data daily because it has stops at irregular nodes and times. This research uses Wi-Fi technology in to capture media access control (MAC) address passenger data during paratransit service. The objective of this study is to make OD or boarding alighting data based on Wi-Fi estimated. The result showed some characteristics and/or similarities with dates or routes. A high correlation is shown on all days for the Antang route (0.85) and on August 27, 2018, for the Antang route (0.79). For the accuracy of each Wi-Fi device result, A high correlation was obtained for the Antang, Cendrawasih, Daya, and Panampu routes.
