Abstract

Automated People Mover (APM) Systems are common at many airports worldwide. The emptiness from passengers must be confirmed before the vehicle enters a turn back facility, a workshop area or any other restricted-access area inside the airport. Since APM vehicles typically run fully automatic without any attendance staff onboard an automatic detection system is required. A new video-based solution to automatically check whether the car has been cleared from passengers and baggage or not is proposed in this paper.
