Abstract
A building management system and method for sensor time correction is described. The system comprises multiple sensors and an energy manager communicating with the sensors. The sensors, distributed within a particular area, provide multiple time measurements in response to detecting an object traversing among the sensors in which the time measurements are associated with unsynchronized time. The energy manager identifies a predicted time for traversing among the sensors based on one or more distances between pairs of sensors and an average velocity of the object to traverse among the sensors. The energy manager determines a sensor time error for each sensor by cross-correlating the time measurements with the predicted time.
