Abstract:
Digital signage systems distribute all kinds of information to specific locations, including retail stores, public areas and transportations. Thanks to the massive adoption of displays and wide application of wireless networks, digital signage can deliver targeted messages designed to accurately reach the passing audience and eventually influence customers. Digital signage, including Digital Out Of Home, is a natural evolution of the old sign painting business. The aim of the MEDIACTIF project is to develop a new digital signage concept, using both human traffic modelling and compartmental behavior based on interests. This is the major issue we are facing as of now: crowd motion has extensively been studied on peculiar test cases, on both macroscopic and microscopic levels, but it is lacking considerable social and personal inputs, which are significant for each site and scenario.
