Abstract
The invention relates to a device (100) for detecting the passing of individuals in the form of a mat including: a printed circuit board (104), one of the surfaces which supports a plurality of contactors designed to change state under the pressure exerted by a foot or a wheel, and at least one of the surfaces of which supports at least one electronic component (112) not subject to any pressure from said foot: and for the or each surface supporting at least one electronic component (112), a protective layer (106) attached to said surface and incompressible under the weight of individuals/trolleys, the or each electronic component (112) being recessed in a hole (110) in said incompressible protective layer (106).
Claims12
Counting system (300) for counting a number of individuals or trolleys passing through a passage, the counting system (300) comprising:
- a detection device (100, 400) in the form of a mat disposed on the ground of the passage and comprising:
- a printed circuit (104, 404) comprising one face carrying a plurality of contactors (220) designed to change state under a pressure exerted by a foot or a wheel and at least one face carrying at least one electronic component (112, 412) not subjected to any pressure from the foot or wheel, and
- for the or each face carrying the one electronic component (112) not subjected to any pressure from the foot or wheel, a protective layer (106, 402) fixed against the face and incompressible under the weight of individuals or trolleys, the or each electronic component (112) being housed in a hole (110) in the incompressible protective layer (402, 106),
- a central system (302) intended to determine the number of individuals or trolleys and passing on the detection device from the information transmitted by the electronic component or components (112, 412) of the detection device (100, 400).
