Abstract:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing need for accurate information about the real-time flow of visitors in public buildings, such as schools or university campuses. Conventional monitoring methods, including entrance checks and wide-area cameras, face challenges in terms of technical complexity, public acceptance, and privacy concerns. This paper proposes an alternative solution based on Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to establish a visitor information system. The system leverages the concepts of smart city and smart campus design to create a more intelligent, connected environment. The system uses smartphones, wearable devices, and low-cost sensors to collect and transmit data packets via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is used to draw conclusions about the distance between the transmitter and receiver, enabling the system to locate visitors. Thus, this paper reflects the growing use of assistive applications in IoT scenarios in terms of spatial orientation systems, as well as for smart management systems.
