Pedestrian Congestion Monitoring Platform

This paper proposes a system able to collect information about pedestrian congestion levels in Bucharest, by offering an Android application for monitoring its users' location anonymously. The application sends the data to a server which calculates the most crowded areas of the city using the DBSCAN clustering algorithm. The application displays congested areas, as well as their level of congestion by using different coloured circles on the map presented to the user. The history of busy areas of Bucharest can also be visited at the request of the user.
