Tourist Counter Design Using RFID Sensors For Real Time Monitoring

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we present a design for calculating the number of visitors to a tourist attraction. The tourism sector has a positive impact on national economic development. In an effort by the government to increase tourism potential, data on the number of visitors who visit a tourist attraction is needed. In this prototype, the number of tourists will be counted at the entrance using RFID. The controller unit (Node-MCU) will receive and process the incoming data and then classify it into adult local tourists, adult foreign tourist, child local tourists and child foreign tourist. Google Sheets are used to store data from the controller over a long period of time and provide results and records of daily visitors. Recording time on Google Sheets is delayed 3-4 seconds in good signal conditions, and 7-10 seconds on a bad signal conditions. This system provides accurate results about the number of tourists of a tourist attraction.
