Thesis

Occupancy is a mobile application for MBTA subway commuters. The pandemic highlighted the need for crowd density estimates. By projecting data to the public, people can decide if waiting for the next train car is safer than boarding the one that has just arrived. Occupancy also uses the MBTA’s JSON file, so arrival times and location are also displayed for convenience.
