Abstract: This project presents an IoT-enabled Seat Occupancy Monitoring System designed to detect, evaluate, and report seat utilization in real time. The system incorporates ultrasonic distance sensors and pressure-based occupancy sensors to provide highly accurate binary seat status classification—occupied or vacant. An ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, responsible for acquiring sensor input, executing decision logic, and transmitting processed data via integrated Wi- Fi connectivity. Collected occupancy data is synchronized with a cloud platform to enable remote monitoring and persistent data storage. A web-based dashboard interface provides real-time visualization of seat availability and occupancy patterns, supporting efficient capacity assessment and utilization analytics. The system architecture is scalable and supports deployment across diverse environments, including educational institutions, co working spaces ,public transportation systems, offices, libraries, and entertainment facilities. The proposed solution delivers a cost-efficient and reliable method for automated occupancy monitoring while reducing the need for manual supervision. By leveraging IoT communication, sensor fusion, and cloud-based data management, the system enables enhanced operational decision-making, improved resource allocation, and optimized space utilization. This work demonstrates the potential of smart sensing frameworks in modern infrastructure and contributes to the advancement of intelligent facility management and automation technologies.
