Method to Measure and Validate Daily Mobile Phone Distance Traveled

Paul McBurney

Abstract:	Determination of a places visited and the routes between these locations requires batch processing of a large time window of location and sensor data that can have varying availability and accuracy. A process is presented that organizes the location data into static and dynamic regions. The context of each region is independently validated against the sensor data. Kalman filter and SLAM methods are used to improve the accuracy of the regions so that each regions location, route, speed, and distance travelled can be determined more accurately. Sensor data events can then be mapped without requiring constant location determination.
