Projects Adaptive incremental beacon placement optimization for crowd density monitoring applications

Adaptive incremental beacon placement optimization for crowd density monitoring applications

2021/11/01 | Projects | 970 views |

With the pandemic of COVID-19, indoor crowd density monitoring has become one of the most critical responsibilities of public space managers. The University of Tokyo released an indoor density monitoring system using BLE beacons to monitor the indoor crowd density. In order to obtain accurate indoor crowd density monitoring results, we carefully designed beacon placement to cover the spatial area.

Beacon placement optimization has been studied for years. Some researchers proposed batch simulation-based sensor placement optimization methods to obtain the optimal placement by simulating radio wave propagation of beacons. However, the only simulation cannot reflect the actual radio map in the target environment. Some other research proposed optimization methods by selecting beacons from large distributed beacons. This approach can provide the beacon placement considering actual radio propagation. However, it demands an ideal initial beacon placement of adequate beacons and dense data measurement.

In this project, we propose the method of adaptive incremental beacon placement optimization (AI-BPO), which incrementally determines the new beacon placement location after gathering RSSI data in the environment with less labor cost. We experimented with the university buildings, and the experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
