Maps for Easy Paths (MEP): Accessible Paths Tracking and Reconstruction
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
MEP (Maps for Easy Paths) is a project for the enrichment of geographical maps with information about accessibility of urban pedestrian pathways, targeted at people with mobility problems. In this paper, we describe the tools developed to collect data along the paths travelled by target people and the algorithms for a good quality reconstruction of the path developed to overcome the intrinsic limitation of the sensors available on mobile devices. Experimental results show the feasibility of the approach.

Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Blind Macro-Calibration of Environmental Sensors in Participatory Sensing
The ubiquity of ever-connected smartphones has lead to new sensing paradigms that promise environmental monitoring in unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. Everyday people may use low-cost sensors to collect env...
PEACH: Predicting Frost Events in Peach Orchards Using IoT Technology
In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it i...
Introducing Neuroberry, a platform for pervasive EEG signaling in the IoT domain
The emergence of inexpensive off-the-shelf wireless EEG devices led researchers to explore novel paradigms in the field of Human Computer Interaction. In fact, the compliance of these devices with the IoT principles towa...
Drone Package Delivery: A Heuristic approach for UAVs path planning and tracking
In this paper we propose a new approach based on a heuristic search for UAVs path planning with terrestrial wireless network tracking. In a previous work we proposed and exact solution based on an integer linear formulat...
A Partial-differential Approximation for Spatial Stochastic Process Algebra
We study a spatial framework for process algebra with ordinary differential equation (ODE) semantics. We consider an explicit mobility model over a 2D lattice where processes may walk to neighbouring regions independentl...
