Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a method to estimate duration of stay at transit facilities by detecting Wi-Fi MAC addresses. The validation survey was conducted at one of the largest highway bus terminals, "Busta Shinjuku", in Tokyo, Japan. The data is compared to interview survey results obtained during the same period for verification. The estimated staying duration was smaller than the one obtained by interview surveys. This implies that Wi-Fi survey possibly observed through traffic as well as the staying travelers.
