Abstract

This paper uses various machine learning methods which explore the combination of multiple sensors for quality improvement. It is known that a reliable occupancy estimation can help in many different cases and applications. For the containment of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in particular, room occupancy is a major factor. The estimation can benefit visitor management systems in real time, but can also be predictive of room reservation strategies. By using different terminal and non-terminal sensors in different premises of varying sizes, this paper aims to estimate room occupancy. In the process, the proposed models are trained with different combinations of rooms in training and testing datasets to examine distinctions in the infrastructure of the considered building. The results indicate that the estimation benefits from a combination of different sensors. Additionally, it is found that a model should be trained with data from every room in a building and cannot be transferred to other rooms.
