Shopping store management system based on IR-UWB radar sensors

초록

The impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar technology is attracted strong attention for various applications such as crowdedness measurement, building energy management system, vital sign monitoring, and counting the number of inbound and outbound people. In this paper, we propose a shopping store management system based on IR-UWB radar sensors. In order to manage a shopping store, checking the number of entered customers and sweet spot of a store is necessary. Here, sweet spot means the average residence time of customers in one hour. To get these two information, two applications of IR-UWB radar sensor are required. One is counting the number of inbound and outbound people, and the other one is crowdedness measurement. To validate this system, we install this system in a real shopping store. The performance of the shopping store management system is given in this paper, and the results show that our system is applicable.
