Pedestrian Tracking
Pedestrian Tracking offers a view to where people are located within a Site and how they moved from area to area during the day (or selectable historic period). Pedestrian tracking is made possible by personal RF identification tags worn by pedestrians as part of their kit and picked up by RF loops positioned in walkways, doors, gates, turnstiles or other measurement points.
The initial overview shows the basic status of people associated with a specific Lamp room (or other originating area). The status indicates a quick tally of people in Safe or Unsafe areas.
Clicking the room of interest expands the view to include specifics of the people and their whereabouts. Hovering the mouse over a person (or tapping on a mobile device) will pop up the movement progression detail indicating the person's movement as "seen" by the system.
Finally this view ends with a detailed display of the zones and the gates/doorways between them so that any person's movements can be traced where needed.
Note that detecting a person at any specific point notifies us of the position at that time, but not the direction of movement. This means that if a person gets detected at gate A, then B, they are probably on the way to gate C, but we cannot be 100% sure until gate C acknowledges their presence. If gate B enters into a safe area on the way to C, but gate C is not yet reached, there is a small possibility that the person has turned around and gone back to A. The system indicates this possibility by using appropriate language, such as "Possibly Above Ground", ensuring nobody is mistakenly "forgotten" during a situation, until they are 100% indicated to be Safe.
Clicking any specific Zone (if logged in with the appropriate access level) shifts the view to Area details where it can be viewed or changed. A basic area definition describes the type of zone (with respect to safety level), the adjacent areas/zones, the doors/gates/walkways/etc. connecting to those adjacent areas, and the equipment measurement points connected to those doors/gates/points of thoroughfare.
These area/zone layouts are highly customizable and by adhering to a few simple rules, make tracking in complex environments easy to set up and simple to follow.
