People flow
People flow monitors and records the inflow and outflow of people of a given space.
Typically, this feature is not used to count the actual number of people in order to measure capacity use, but rather it is used to measure density. In the office world, it is used, for example, to measure and possibly predict the waiting queue at the company restaurant. Or, it can also be used to measure the inflow and outflow of people of a building or of an event. It can help building managers to:
• Assess the size of meetings rooms to match usage
• Display wait times for amenities
• Optimize cleaning based on usage levels
• Detect when fire-loading limits are crossed
• Optimize layout based on people flow
People flow is measured by a specify type of sensor. The readings of these sensors provide real-time data. This sensor type is reset at the end of the day and starts measuring anew at the beginning of each new day (specified at the connector or at the sensoring system).
