Passenger Frequency Measurement

Source code and config files for Medium articles about Passenger Frequency Measurement:

• Part I: Technical background and setup of Paxcounter for passenger frequency measurement
• Part II: Pull and save passenger frequency data
• Part III: Visualize passenger frequency data (coming soon)

Structure

• connector: Source code for data connector (written in Rust)
• database: Init file for creating database (streaming database RisingWave)
• dashboard: Source code for dashboard (Plotly Dash)
