Visitor Tracking System Using Mobile Ad hoc Network

Abstract

A Visitor Tracking system using an Ad hoc network and Infrastructure in which a set of domain nodes shares the responsibility for producing and storing monitoring information about a set of visitors. This information is stored gradually when the set of visitor nodes grows and shrinks. Such a system can be used to store monitoring information of visitors and maintain the traffic through monitoring system by deciding the threshold value for number of visitors. The feature of system include: Counting the number of visitors through monitors located at every entry/exit points, Track the visitors at a particular place, and the approx location of individual visitor at the time of natural disaster and storing this information in a persistent, efficient and searchable manner. The database must be such that the administrator can search all the information and details of the visitor at any given point of time. The records in the database must be persistent such that entries are not affected by the network disruption or lost due to the same. The algorithm for maintaining the database should run with minimal message and computational overhead.
