According to EE Times website, Ford Motor Company and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently demonstrated the possibility of using the smartphones for the analysis of data traffic problems. In addition to the coordinates, the smartphone may send data to the acceleration sensor, and it already allows more accurate assessment of the rate of movement of the owner. If several smartphones are moving in the same car, it allows us to estimate how often the owner of the private vehicles transporting passengers, and do not travel alone. Analysis of the degree of loading of public transport can also be carried out using data from passengers smartphones.
The study's authors argue that the resulting data by this method is cheaper and more accurate than the results of sociological research. Related Products :
