IOT Real-Time People Counting Using Raspberry PI (IOT-RepCO)

Abstract

IOT - RepCO is a People Counting System that allows tracking and verification activities to be systematically carried out. This web-based system ensures that the accuracy and reliability of the information sent by the service provider company by changing the manual way to the online system. In addition, this system also allows information to be stored in digital form which indirectly creates a “paperless” environment. Security features are also enhanced by using IOT - RepCO. Python and OpenCV languages are used in the development of this system. While “ubidots” are used for data storage in “cloud”. The requirement for this solution were carried out in Datasonic Corporation Sdn. Bhd. whereby it also provides a testing ground and verification of the system. The diversity of users in this system requires user-friendly interface design as well as minimal navigation and low fidelity concept as an appeal for all users who will use the IOT -RepCO system. It is hoped that the construction of the IOT - RepCO system will assist the companies as well as other parties such as fire department during the emergency evacuation such that it indirectly improve the quality of service to the customers as well as providing an important information during evacuation process.
