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.

Note

The Average number of people in time interval report is related to the People Counter detector (it is necessary to create the corresponding object in the Intellect software).

To create the Average number of people in time interval report, do the following:

  1. Select the Average number of people in time interval report type by one of the following ways:
    1. Hover over the People Counter detectors tab (1), and click the Average number of people in time interval link in the menu (2).
    2. Click the People Counter detectors tab (1), wail till the table appears, then click the Average number of people in time interval link (2).
  2. As a result the page for specifying the report parameters will be displayed.
  3. Set the report parameters in the following way:
    1. In the Detectors field set checkboxes for those People counter objects which data should be displayed in the report (1).
    2. Specify the period in the following way:
      1. From the Receiving data period drop-down list select the time period for which the report is to be created (2).

      2. If the User defined period is selected, enter the date of start and end periods for which the report is to be created in the from and to fields using the Calendar tool. 

        Note

        To use the Calendar tool, click the  button near the corresponding field.

      3. If the User defined 2 period is selected, enter additionally the time of start and end periods for which the report is to be created using the  button.
      4. If other period type is selected, specifying the date of start and end periods is not needed.

    3. Enter a time period (in minutes) during which the values received from people counter detector will be averaged in the Step field (3). The average values of people amount for the specified interval are displayed in the report.

      Note.

      If the average value is null the empty report will be displayed for such intervals for the specified period. It is recommended to change the step in this case.

    4. In the Maximum value field specify a maximum value of people that will be displayed in a chart (4).

    5. From the Time zone drop-down list select time zone by which report is to be created (5).

      Note.

      Time zones created in the Intellect software package which have only one time period and haven't got any inclusions are available to select. Selection of week days is not performed. Detailed information about creation and using of time zones is presented in the Creating and using time schedules section.

    6. If it is necessary to view a report as a chart, set the Chart checkbox (6).
    7. In the Layout field, select the print layout of the report: Portrait, Landscape (7). 
    8. Set the Sum results checkbox to display sum result by selected detections in the report (8).
  4. To create a report click Execute (9).
  5. As a result the report with specified parameters will be displayed.

    The example of the report as a chart is given in the following figure.

Note

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 the entering and exiting events sorted by time.
  2. The previous calculations to create the Number of people at a time 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.
    2. 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.
    3. It there are no events about entering or exiting to the defined time, the "current number of people" remains unchanged.
  3. For every interval the average number of people being in the area is calculated. The Average number of people for the interval is calculated as the average value of the "Number of people at a time" function at a time.
