The Average number of people in time interval report allows getting the data about the people quantity for the selected time period. The data can be presented as a table and a chart.

Info
titleNote

The procedure of the People Counter detector operation for building the Average number of people in time interval report is as follows:

  1. The basic data are

...

  1. the entering and exiting events sorted by time.

...

  1. The previous calculations to create the

...

  1. Number of people at a time

...

  1. function are performed:

    ...

      1. During the specified period the "current number of people" in the zone is calculated at a time. Depending on the people entering or exiting the basic data is increasing or reducing by one.

    ...

      1. If the "current number of people" takes the negative value on the next step (the number of exiting people from the area is more than number of entering people to this area), the "current number of people" is set to zero. Also, the "current number of people" is set to zero every day at 2 a.m. (on default) or after the time (in minutes) past midnight specified as PeopleCounterZeroPointMinute key in C:\Program Files\Intellect\Modules\Wt2\Web.config file.
        For example, the string
        add key="PeopleCounterZeroPointMinute" value="60"
        means that the people counter is set to zero in 60 minutes past midnight.

    ...

      1. It there are no events about entering or exiting to the defined time, the "current number of people" remains unchanged.
    1. For every interval

    ...

    1. the average number of people being in the area is calculated.

    ...

    1. The Average number of people for the interval

    ...

    1. is calculated as the average value of the "Number of people at a time" function at

    ...

    1. a
