What is SafeCampus?

The SafeCampus web application is designed to identify congestion and population density around campus based on near-real-time wifi data and to be a useful tool for making COVID-19 related decisions.The user may customize the visualizations in the app to view wifi access point usage around campus. SafeCampus is built mostly using R shiny, and some parts of UI structure and styling using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The application combines the campus hotspots map, campus wifi dashboard, detailed wifi overview, and weekly wifi overview in order to give users both geographic and abstract view of the Campus recent situation.

What data is SafeCampus using?

SafeCampus is using the wireless access points (WAP) data which is collected every 30 minutes and updated every 2 hours. The data collects information from over 1300 locations on RPI campus including devname, maccount(device count), usercount, datetime.
