How are players counted in each system in the last 24 hours?

It's been my experience that each time you enter a system your ship is tallied. You can easily verify this in some backwater system with very little traffic.

Each hyperspace jump into a system by a ship is counted, so if u jump out and back in thats 1, but if u undock and stay within the system youre not counted at all

There's no way for us to know if the numbers are accurate. Most likely, they are probably manufactured, much like trading data/prices.
It's based on ship visits. My home system for some reason has very little traffic. I've never seen another ship on the Traffic count. On the times I've visited it twice in 24 hours I'm fairly sure my T6 is counted twice.
My home system is on the edge of civilised and is great for trading and exploring. Some of the systems within 40ly have some traffic.
I always thought they were NPC numbers to show the relative 'popularity' of a system. I remember visiting systems with 100s of ships in last 24hrs and never seen a real CMDR in 99% of them.
I've never seen a single CMDR at my home, but seen a few NPC. Still my T6 (or Cobra) are the only traffic. Which is fine by me as it's a High Supply/High Demand station. Also has plently of A class equipement.
