This paper proposes a system that estimates crowdedness, such as the numbers of people and wireless communication devices, from the received signal strength indication (RSSI), which is measured using sensor nodes already-deployed for a different purpose. For example, the system estimates crowdedness using sensor nodes of structural health monitoring. Our system consists of two parts: an RSSI synchronous measurement and a crowdedness estimation algorithm. The RSSI synchronous measurement enables us to measure and collect two kinds of RSSI by synchronized RSSI sampling: the inter-node RSSI and surrounding RSSI. The crowdedness estimation algorithm estimates the number of people from the collected inter-node RSSI and the number of wireless communication devices from the collected surrounding RSSI in a location. We evaluated the proposed system in the laboratory at Osaka University. The evaluation results demonstrate that the system estimates the presence or absence of people in the laboratory with approximately 92% accuracy and the number of people with approximately 79% accuracy, with errors of up to two people.
