| Popis: | Tracking pedestrian behavior is receiving increasingly more attention. Various techniques have been used so far, yet tracking through WiFi seems to be the most popular one. This popularity comes from the ubiquity of modern smartphones, of which it is known that most have their WiFi enabled all the time. In this chapter we concentrate exclusively on how this WiFi tracking works, and explain its potentials and pitfalls. Special attention is given to the quality of data from WiFi scanning devices, and how this data can, and should be cleaned up before attempts at extracting information from sets of detected devices. As an illustration of the power of WiFi tracking, we also briefly discuss a few recent results from gathering WiFi data from a large event that attracted over 100,00 people spread across three days. |
