Participatory Sensing for Community Data Campaigns: A case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Participatory Sensing is a process whereby individuals and communities use mobile phones and web services to observe, analyze, and present personal and environmental artifacts, events and experiences. In this technical report we describe a community data campaign that made use of smartphone based participatory sensing for environmental needs assessment. Community organizers defined the content of the participatory sensing campaign. 68 individuals participated over the course of 6 weeks, uploading over 450 mini-surveys, including over 700 images.

Evaluating Participation and Performance in Participatory Sensing
Because participatory sensing – targeted campaigns where people harness mobile phones as tools for data collection – involves large and distributed groups of people, participatory sensing systems benefit from tools to measure and evaluate the contributions of individual participants. This paper develops a set of metrics to help participatory sensing organizers determine individual participants’...
متن کاملDetecting Aggressive Driving Behavior with Participatory Sensing
Aggressive driving increases the risk of accidents, and it is normally a consequence of the impatience, frustration, or anger of drivers. In this paper, we present a case study showing the feasibility of using participatory sensing to enable drivers to report and gain awareness on aggressive driving behavior. We describe the design and development of the Driving Habits System prototype, a mobil...

متن کاملParticipatory design of sensing networks: strengths and challenges
Participatory design (PD) involves users in all phases of design to build systems that fit user needs while simultaneously helping users understand complex systems. We argue that traditional PD techniques can benefit participatory sensing: community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects in which complex technologies, such as sensing networks using mobile phones, are the research instrume...
