ABSTRACT
We study the problem of building low-cost city-wide location tracking systems with the intention to provide a platform for large-scale human mobility data collection. We take the city-bikes as our first target, motivated by several social networking applications, and choose Cambridge in the UK as our pilot case. We highlight the main application requirements, discuss the practical design issues, and propose a system architecture based on a hybrid sensor network.

Mobility-based opportunistic routing for mobile ad-hoc networks
PE-WASUN '14: Proceedings of the 11th ACM symposium on Performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, sensor, & ubiquitous networksOpportunistic Routing (OR) is an effective and enhanced routing scheme for wireless multihop environment. OR is an approach which selects a certain number of best forwarders (candidates) at each hop by taking the advantage of the broadcast nature of the ...
Mobility-Based Routing in Opportunistic Networks
In Opportunistic Networks OppNets nodes are only intermittently connected. A complete path from the sender node to the receiver does not exist. Mobile objects exploit direct contact for message transmission without relying on an existing end to end ...
Characteristics of common mobility models for opportunistic networks
PM2HW2N '07: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM workshop on Performance monitoring and measurement of heterogeneous wireless and wired networksUnderstanding the characteristics of synthetic mobility models is important for the design and analysisof routing schemes for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This is especially true for mobile opportunistic networks where node mobility is utilized to ...
