Proximity Detection: Use sensors (e.g., Bluetooth, ultrasonic) to detect and measure the distance between individuals in real-time.
Distance Calculation: Calculate the distance between individuals and compare it with predefined social distancing guidelines (e.g., 6 feet or 2 meters).
Real-Time Monitoring
Live Tracking: Provide real-time tracking of individuals’ positions and movements within the monitored area.
Alerts and Notifications: Generate alerts if individuals are found to be too close to each other, notifying them to maintain proper distance.
Data Collection and Storage
Data Recording: Record data on individuals’ locations and distances for later analysis and reporting.
Historical Data: Store historical data on social distancing compliance for trend analysis and reporting.
User Interface
Dashboard: Provide a user-friendly dashboard for administrators to monitor real-time and historical data, view compliance metrics, and manage system settings.
Alerts Management: Display and manage alerts and notifications related to social distancing breaches.
Reporting and Analytics
Compliance Reports: Generate reports on social distancing compliance, including the number of breaches, duration, and affected areas.
Trend Analysis: Analyze trends in social distancing compliance over time to identify patterns and areas for improvement.
Integration and Interfacing
Integration with Access Control Systems: Interface with access control systems to monitor and manage entry and exit points based on social distancing guidelines.
Integration with Communication Systems: Send notifications and alerts via email, SMS, or internal messaging systems.
User Management and Access Control
User Roles and Permissions: Manage user roles (e.g., administrators, security personnel) with appropriate permissions for accessing and managing the system.
User Registration: Register and manage individuals within the system, if required.
Data Privacy and Security
Data Anonymization: Anonymize personal data to protect privacy while still providing useful insights on social distancing compliance.
Access Control: Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms to protect access to system data and controls.
System Configuration
Threshold Settings: Allow configuration of social distancing thresholds and alert parameters.
Customizable Alerts: Provide options for customizing alert types, frequencies, and communication channels.
Non-Functional Requirements
Performance
Real-Time Processing: Ensure low-latency processing for real-time distance measurement and alert generation.
Scalability: Design the system to handle varying numbers of individuals and scale according to the size of the monitored area.

Fault Tolerance: Implement fault-tolerant mechanisms to ensure system reliability in case of hardware or software failures.
Usability
User Interface Design: Design an intuitive and easy-to-navigate user interface for administrators and users.
Ease of Deployment: Ensure the system is easy to deploy and configure in various environments.
Security
Data Protection: Implement robust security measures to protect against data breaches and unauthorized access.
Authentication: Use secure authentication methods for accessing system features and data.
Maintainability
Code Quality: Maintain a well-documented and modular codebase to facilitate ongoing maintenance and updates.
Update Management: Provide a structured process for deploying updates and patches, including testing and user notifications.
Compatibility
Hardware Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with various sensors and devices used for distance measurement.
Software Integration: Ensure compatibility with existing systems and software used for monitoring and communication.
Compliance
Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to relevant regulations and guidelines related to health and safety, data privacy, and social distancing.
Industry Standards: Follow industry standards for social distancing monitoring and technology deployment.
Backup and Recovery
Data Backup: Implement regular backups of system configurations, settings, and collected data to prevent loss.
Disaster Recovery: Develop and maintain a disaster recovery plan to restore system functionality and data in case of major failures or emergencies.
