Background Why a Web Enabled PQS?
Patron find long lines wastes time no fun
Customer presented with bursty
patron traffic slow service time patron may bypass
establishment

Background
Broad Solution Detect Congestion
locally
Inform Potential Patrons via Customer website
Patron adjusts schedule
Life is better

Development Approach
Multi-Phase Design Approach
Phase I – Show Efficacy Implement and Install a
PQS Advertise System to Public Measure Performance Refine Sensor
Arrangement
UUNIVERSITY OF NIVERSITY OF MMASSACHUSETTSASSACHUSETTS, A, AMHERST • MHERST • Department of Electrical & Computer EngineeringDepartment of Electrical & Computer Engineering6
Development Approach
Multi-Phase Design Approach
Phase II – Improve System Design lower cost sensors Scale micro-controller Minimize sensor number Wireless
