The flooring system 1 is for characterising a footstep and comprises: a number of tiles 200 for supporting people and a number of sensors that generate a signal depending on a force applied to the sensor. Each tile is supported by three sensors. The flooring system includes a data processing system in communication with each sensor for receiving the signal. The data processing system is arranged to produce output data by comparing the signals received from the various sensors supporting that time to estimate the location of a footstep. Also claimed are flooring systems for monitoring a footstep walking across a flooring system by either timing or measuring maximum force magnitudes. Also claimed is a flooring system with a number of receivers for receiving identifiers received via mobile communications devices. Also claimed is a flooring system with a number of electrical generators 100. The electricity is generated by linear motion of a support for the generator. |
