Method and system for measuring traffic flow in a building

摘要

The invention relates to a method for measuring the traffic flow in a building having a people mover system, in which method the following succession of steps is performed: - at least two monitoring units (20) with at least one sensor (40) are temporarily installed in the vicinity of entrance- and/ or exit area(s) (30) of at least one people mover (10), - each of the monitoring units is provided with a power supply (44) for being operated as an independent unit, - events caught by the sensor are associated with the current event time and with the location/ position of the corresponding monitoring unit as correlated event/ event time/ event location data, which correlated event/ event time/ event location data is used to compute a traffic flow in the building. This data can be advantageously used in the call allocation of a new people mover system of said building.
