Abstract:
Real data on the peoples mobility are an essential input for decision-makers of city and regional planning. They allow for various optimizations like traffic routes, public places or safety measures at public events. Obtaining such data in an automated and reliable way is a burdensome task since usually the requirements on the respective solutions depend on the actual situation (e.g., indoors, outdoors, different counting cross-sections). This paper reports on the work-in-progress of the development for a flexible, low-power sensor-mat that automates people counting.
