LiveSmart-CAMPUS: a proximity based solution for an enhanced human experience

ABSTRACT

The term Smart associated to cities and communities is commonly referred to a broad concept involving vehicles, humans, environment and services. In this paper we focus on a Smart solution dedicated to a specific reality, where humans are the main actors. We propose LiveSmart-CAMPUS, an intelligent system whose main goal is to improve the life quality of students, collaborators and visitors within a physical university campus. The system will enable the management of physical distancing and the optimization of shared spaces occupancy, for a safe return to work and academic environment, during the Covid post-pandemic time. We present in this paper the LiveSmart-CAMPUS application, a mobile application developed on top of the LiveSmart global solution, and envisioned for the campus community and visitors which allows them to obtain location based, calendar and time based, and users interests' based information. The presented application will give the possibility to the LiveSmart system to collect users mobility data, allowing the monitoring and the prediction of no latency information on expected rooms and corridors occupancy levels. People who tested the applications reported its usefulness in improving their comfort and their life quality within the campus spaces. © 2021 Copyright for this paper by its authors
