| Summary: | As humans share an ever increasing amount of location information online through
location enabled social networks, an increasing amount of people are looking to
stay in control of their own information. The most common method of data
collection of oneself is the mobile phone with its ever increasing number of sensors.
This report is about the usage of a mobile phone to collect information; specifically
location information in order to build personalized models of an individual’s
movement patterns and habits. Other information like public transport route data is
also used to supplement the models. The models are then used to predict the
individual’s location.
Three models are built, namely: are a spatial model which had an accuracy of 25%, a
spatial-temporal model with an accuracy of 29%, and a public transport analysis
model which had an accuracy of 98% in finding possible transport service along a
segment of the route 3 stops long.
