Potential and Implications of Bluetooth Proximity-Based Tracking in Moving Object Research

摘要: The increasing use of localization technologies in mobile devices such as cell phones offer the ability to record large volumes tracking data. Analysis these data may valuable insights for domains mobility, security and tourism. As a consequence, geographic knowledge discovery has evolved new rapidly growing research area at intersection various geographical information science computer (Miller Han 2001). Since GPS currently constitutes most common technology offers detailed data, empirical concerning ‘moving objects’ focused on analyzing tracks. Yet, other are also available, sometimes more suitable meeting certain goals. Bluetooth, example, potential track individuals by their devices, is better tailored anonymously studying movements crowds mass events. To date, however, process Bluetooth tracking, well interpretation resulting have received only scant attention GIScience literature. Therefore, further investigation necessary both with respect itself analysis
