Abstract

This paper focuses on the design of a WiFi-based tracking and monitoring system that can detect people’s movements in a residential neighbourhood. The proposed system uses WiFi access points as scanners that detect signals transmitted by the WiFi-enabled smartphones that are carried by most people. Our proposed system is able to track these people as they move through the neighbourhood. We implement our WiFi-based tracking system in a prototype and demonstrate that it is able to detect all WiFi devices in the vicinity of the scanners. We describe the implementation details of our system as well as discuss some of the results that we obtained.
