Tools
Collection Tools
Sensors and Hardware: Camera needed for counting entries and exits at all dining entries around the campus. People counting IP camera software solution & API – Camlytics
Processing Tools
Supabase: An online system developed for businesses (or our campus) that inputs data from the capacity counters for storage and future trend data purposes. Very simple and easy-to-use resource with a step-by-step guide along the way. Database Management Software | Kintone
Visualization and Interface Tools
HTML: Web tool programming to build the capacity meter and wait-time display. Also transmits data between cameras and Supabase processing tool. Finally, HTML web page will show the real-time numbers on a digital screen outside of the building.
Methods
Data Gathering Method
Existing Campus System Data: The school uses wait time technology already, so that will also be posted outside of the building in pair with the camera counters.
Data Modeling Methods
Predictive Modeling: Over time, HTML system and Supabase work together to create predictions for peak hours.
