Abstract : In modern times where analysis of foot traffic is essential for effective resources management and security, moving target systems that use Wi-Fi-based movement counter offers an innovation solution. This paper summarizes the fundamental idea, the methodology as well as the potential uses of the system. The proposed system makes use of the widespread characteristic of Wi-Fi networks to detect and track the movement of moving targets within a given area. With a thorough analysis of Wi-Fi signals generated by tablets, smartphones or any other wireless-enabled device carried by people, the proposed system is capable of accurately counting and recording the movements of individuals in real-time. The system operates passively by eliminating the requirement for sensors or manually counting. Furthermore, it captures live data, which allows rapid making of decisions regarding security, crowd management and resource allocation. Potential possibilities for applications of the wireless moving target counter are diverse. For retail environments they can help enhance the store's layout and personnel according to peak times for traffic as well as popular pathways. Moving target counters that use Wi-Fi provides a high-end yet easy option for precise and instant pedestrian analysis. The potential for it to transform the management of crowds and improve security across a variety of settings is a powerful device for today's environments.
