Occupant-induced office floor vibration dataset for activity level monitoring

Occupant activity level plays an important part in many smart building applications, such as power management [5] and elderly care [1]. There are several approaches to obtain occupant states, including visual-, acoustic-, and radio frequency based techniques. However, visual-based approaches require light-of-sight, while acoustic-based approaches are sensitive to background noise. On the other hand, radio-based approaches often require the occupant to carry a particular device to receive signals from base stations, which requires direct participation from the monitored occupants at all times.
