A Framework for Occupancy Tracking in a Building via Structural Dynamics Sensing of Footstep Vibrations

Abstract: Counting the number of occupants in building areas over time-occupancy tracking-provides valuable information for responding to emergencies, optimizing thermal conditions or managing personnel. This capability is distinct from tracking individual building occupants as they move within a building, has lower complexity than conventional tracking algorithms require, and avoids privacy concerns that tracking individuals may pose. The approach proposed here is a novel combination of data analytics applied to measur… Show more

“…It has been explored to obtain occupant information (Poston et al, 2017) including identity (Pan et al, 2017b), location (Mirshekari et al, 2018), heart rate (Jia et al, 2017), hand washing activities (Fagert et al, 2017), office activities (Bonde et al, 2020), etc. When the occupant interacts with ambient objects, such as floor, table, walls, bed, sink, etc., the interactions induce the structure to vibrate in a unique way such that their frequency components reflect the mode excited by different excitation sources (Fagert et al, 2017).…”

“…The structural vibration sensing captures the human interaction with the ambient environment, which is mostly the (Fagert et al, 2017;Han et al, 2017;Pan et al, 2017b;Poston et al, 2017;Mirshekari et al, 2018). It also captures the appliance machinery vibration, such as a motor or a compressor, as well as appliance usage induced vibration, such as water or food boiling.…”

“…Henceforth, the terms vibro-localization and vibro-measurements will refer to such localization techniques and the measurements used in these techniques, respectively. Vibro-localization techniques facilitate a myriad of applications ranging from smart home monitoring and event classification [1][2][3][4][5] to human gait assessment [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and occupant identification and tracking [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Traditionally, measurements are taken during load tests to compare as-built performance with that expected from the design. Recently, structural responses have been used for other purposes as well, such as, construction monitoring and occupancy tracking (Pan et al, 2017;Poston et al, 2017;Harichandran et al, 2019). Conventionally, strain gauges and accelerometers are fixed on structures with wired connections to data acquisition systems.…”
