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
