Description
A task of locating particular seats in a partially
(or otherwise) occupied auditorium can be difficult. The need
for this may arise in a variety of situations in the emerging IoTcentric
world. We present in this paper the development of a
system we have tagged SeatSense. It is a means of detecting the
availability or occupancy status of seats in any hall (of any
conceivable capacity). SeatSense can find applicability in
various indoor situations such as: concert halls, stadiums,
churches, cinema halls and even outdoors e.g. in buses where
seats are not pre-assigned. A sensor node located in each seat
detects if it is occupied and feeds back information to a data
sink where it is interpreted and visualized. This paper
addresses the technical issues of designing and implementing
seat occupancy detection technology in large auditorium with
fixed or mobile seats using wireless sensor networks.
