Abstract
In recent, the studies on the systems have been progressing that count the number of people passing through passageway or count people who exist in specific space. The existing people counting systems count the number of people using ultrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors or camera sensors, which can be installed only on pillar or around wall. Though ultrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors is low cost, they are inadequate to detect incoming/outgoing when several pedestrians pass through passageway concurrently. In this paper, we designed a sensor mat using piezoelectric sensors to complement the above-mentioned disadvantage. Also, we implemented the system that detects direction of progress and counts the number of people. The sensor mat detects direction of progress using pressure given on sensors and timing information and counts the number of people when pedestrians pass through on a sensor mat.
