The present invention is a system, method, and apparatus for determining the impact of crowding on retail performance based on a measurement for behavior patterns of people in a store area. The present invention captures a plurality of input images of the people by at least a means for capturing images, such as cameras, in the store area. In the captured plurality of input images, each person's shopping path is detected by a video analytics-based tracking algorithm. A subset of the people is identified as a crowd in the store area. In relation to the crowd, the behavior patterns of the target person are measured. After aggregating the measurements for the behavior patterns over a predefined window of time, the present invention can calculate a crowd index and a crowd impact index for the store area based on the measurements. A crowd index shows the level of crowd density in the store area caused by a crowd, including traffic count of the crowd in the store area. A crowd impact index comprises a traffic count of the target people who make trips to the store area and a shopping time index, such as average shopping time changes of the target people, in relation to a crowd in the measured store area.

Illustratively, the data employed is hourly network traffic count that is collected at cell sites. By taking the advantage of additive property of Poisson process, the method integrates spatial neighbor information by aggregating temporal data in various areas, and iteratively estimating the event location and the radius of event impact by examining the posterior probability base on the aggregated data.

The invention discloses a traffic counting method and a traffic counting system based on a local area network. The method comprises the following steps: a counting device acquires the IP addresses and the physical addresses of all devices in a local area network, and stores the IP addresses and the physical addresses in an ARP cache table thereof; and the counting device modifies the physical addresses of all the devices in the ARP cache table to the physical address of the counting device based on the ARP cache table. By arranging the counting device and modifying the physical addresses of a routing device and a client in the ARP cache table to the physical address of the counting device, when a server and the client transmit a data packet to each other through the routing device, data flows through the counting device first, and the counting device can count the traffic. Therefore, when the routing device has no traffic counting function, the traffic of the devices in the local area network can be counted without replacing the routing device.

An acoustic pulse transfer device according to the invention has one or more carrier segments that can be connected together to transport acoustic pulses through them. Acoustic pulses generated by events in a first segment are transported through a second segment, which may or may not have its own acoustic pulse generator generating acoustic pulses in response to different events. Acoustic pulses generated in the first and second segments are then independently transported through a third segment. Any number of such segments can be connected together. Typically, acoustic pulses are generated by compressing a pneumatic tube in a carrier segment. The pneumatic tube is connected to a substantially non-compressible acoustic pulse carrier tube connected to the segment's pneumatic tube through a trough in a wall separating the pneumatic tube from the acoustic pulse carrier tube. Multiple carrier segments can be linked together so that a acoustic pulse generated in a distant carrier segment can be transported through one or more segments toward a device actuated by the acoustic pulse such as a counter. The invention is particularly useful in traffic counting applications.
