This chapter describes the methods how to measure passenger traffic in occupied buildings. Passenger‐counting data is often provided by agencies or consultants to support building property management, but also transportation device suppliers offer this type of data. Passenger‐counting technologies and procedures of public transportation vehicles have been widely researched. The chapter describes the methods that can be used in people counting mainly inside buildings. Manual counting gives random samples of the daily passenger traffic in buildings. Optical vision solutions are able to detect even the shapes of the passengers and identify either the entry or the exit movements. The photocell signals can also be used to count passengers, or to start an escalator being in standby mode. In office and residential buildings, access control is often used for the building occupants to allow them to enter only defined floors or areas of a building.
