Urban sensing via mobile phones, an ARUP project
Arup Australasia has published a three-part technical overview on its research blog of its ‘urban sensing via mobile phones’ project.
The research project, in collaboration with the UTS Centre for Real-Time Information Networks, explores technical approaches to sensing the presence of mobile phones in transit environments (bus, train, ferry etc.) as well as pedestrians, in order to provide real-time data on such activity, potentially informing urban planning and transport planning decisions. Such approaches might reveal how the city is being used, in real-time.
Disclosure: Experientia is working with Arup on the Low2No project in Helsinki, Finland.
