Abstract
Due to the virulence of COVID-19, an entire section of the Canadian economy is at a standstill and everyone is looking for solutions to relaunch their business as quickly and safely as possible. The Physical distancing from humans is now a sine qua non for activities of all kinds. Canadian organizations and businesses need to find ways to comply. Our project partnership with Connect&GO will contribute to this economic recovery effort thanks to the development of a 3D capture system measuring in real time the distance that separates individuals from each other and indicating their position. By identifying the areas and periods where distancing physics is more difficult to respect, we will be able to propose optimization solutions use of spaces and movements in accordance with the requirements of distancing, whether during common trips, in stations, airports, buses, the metro, or in daycare services, schools, common rooms and waiting rooms, or even in work areas on building sites. construction and factories, etc. To respond to the problem of applying physical distancing imposed by COVID-19, we will achieve the following objectives: 1- Develop technology using artificial intelligence to measure the distance between individuals in real time; 2- Combine the measurement of distance between individuals to data management and analysis to optimize travel humans and the spatiotemporal use of a given place; 3-Test the capture system as part of a pilot project in an authentic settlement environment. By knowing the positioning of individuals and the distance that separates them from each other in a given place and at a specific time, businesses and organizations will be able to act on their unique distancing challenges. The unique look and innovative feature of our approach is based on its ability to capture position and distance data from subjects without require the wearing of a device. Indeed, our 3D capture system is based solely on optics and
