Project Details

"Essentially a 'people tracker,' this demonstration of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology tracks location information on individuals as they move through a space." 
 
"As they leave the program space, users can view their individual paths, information on other people who are now or have been in the space, and general traffic-pattern information for Emerging Technologies." 
 
"The technology demonstrates useful traffic-flow planning and real-tim traffic adjustments, but it also raises some key privacy issues, because information is captured without the users' knowledge or permission."
