Measure passages through defined entrances

Validate crossing direction, coverage and repeat-pass handling at each doorway. Counts can help compare demand over time, but missed entrances and repeated visits must be considered before estimating occupancy.

Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.

The Process

How It Works

A passage count is not a unique-person register Compare traffic at specific entry points.

01

Prepare the view

Cover the full doorway and approach.

02

Assess the observation

Validate directional counting against representative manual samples.

03

Review the evidence

Review totals with opening hours and coverage gaps.

04

Choose a response

Use comparisons to plan staffing or investigate unusual flow.

What it cannot establishCannot identify unique visitors or total occupancy without additional accounting.Cannot guarantee a complete headcount or locate everyone in an emergency.
Practical outcomeUnderstand directional flow at monitored access points.Give operators a qualified view of current space use.
