Centre for Digital Built Britain completed its five-year mission and closed its doors at the end of September 2022

This website remains as a legacy of the achievements of our five-year foundational journey towards a digital built Britain
 

Abstract

When looking at in-building or urban settings, information about the number of people present and the way they move through the space is useful for helping designers to understand what they have created, fire marshals to identify potential safety hazards, planners to speculate about what is needed in the future, and the public to have real data on which to base opinions about communal choices. We propose a network of edge devices based on Raspberry Pi and TensorFlow, which will ultimately push data via LoRaWAN to a real-time data server. This network is being integrated into a Digital Twin of a local site which includes several dozen buildings spread over approximately 500,000 square metres. We share and discuss issues regarding privacy, accuracy and performance.
