Danalet A., Tinguely L., de Lapparent M., Bierlaire M. (2016). Location choice with longitudinal WiFi data. Journal of Choice Modelling 18 :1-17

Location-aware data collection technologies provide new insights about location choices. Only a few dynamic models of location choice exist in scientific literature. To our knowledge, none of them correct for serial correlation. In this paper, we model choice of catering locations on a campus using WiFi traces. We use the [Wooldridge, J. M. (2005). Simple solutions to the initial conditions problem in dynamic, nonlinear panel data models with unobserved heterogeneity, Journal of Applied Econometrics 20(1): 39-54.] correction method that deals with the initial values problem and related endogeneity bias in estimation. Cross-validation, price elasticity and simulation of a scenario predicting the opening of a new catering location are presented. Predicted market shares of the new catering location correspond to point-of-sale data of the first week of opening.

Increasing the Perspectives of Engineering Undergraduates on Societal Issues through an Interdisciplinary Program. International Journal of Engineering Education 32 (2(A)):1-11

To tackle the challenges of the 21st century, future scientists and engineers have to understand the interplay between societal challenges and technical solutions as early as possible in their education. They also have to develop the communication and the teamwork skills required to be effective professionals. To address this issue, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) introduced a new Global Issues program to all 1800 first year engineering students. In this paper, we present this novel program and reflect on our experience. Our results suggest that student who showed positive attitude towards teamwork, benefited the most from the course and increase their perspectives on societal issues as measured by their moral reasoning after the course.

Danalet A., Farooq B., Bierlaire M. (2014). A Bayesian Approach to Detect Pedestrian Destination-Sequences from WiFi Signatures. Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies 44 :146 - 170

In this paper, we propose a methodology to use the communication network infrastructure, in particular WiFi traces, to detect the sequence of activity episodes visited by pedestrians. Due to the poor quality of WiFi localization, a probabilistic method is proposed that infers activity-episode locations based on WiFi traces and calculates the likelihood of observing these traces in the pedestrian network, taking into account prior knowledge. The output of the method consists of candidates of activity-episodes sequences associated with the likelihood to be the true one. The methodology is validated on traces generated by a known sequence of activities, while the performance being evaluated on a set of anonymous users. Results show that it is possible to predict the number of episodes and the activity-episodes locations and durations, by merging information about the activity locations on the map, WiFi measurements and prior information about schedules and the attractivity in pedestrian infrastructure. The ambiguity of each activity episode in the sequence is explicitly measured.

Identify User’s Locations of Interest from Smartphone WiFi Data, Amélie Buisson (GC) (Civil Engineering)

Supervision: Evanthia Kazagli, Antonin Danalet, Michel Bierlaire
Smartphone is a powerful and convenient tool for collecting a variety of data (location, social interaction, and more) that can be useful for individual mobility analysis. Most of the ongoing research relies on GPS to acquire accurate location. GPS though is expensive in terms of battery consumption. In addition, the GPS sensor embedded in mobile phones fail in practice more often than dedicated GPS devices. Yet, smartphones are endowed with multiple sensors from which location can be inferred. Wifi sensors provide stable indoor location data and have been identified as a potential alter- native to indicate location that can well serve in addition and complementary to GPS data to advance mobility learning. The location extraction from Wi-fi records permits the detection of users� regular places of visit, the frequency and intensity (number of times) of visiting these places, as well as patterns such as the time of day and duration of visit. This kind of information is relevant for the identification of activity locations making use of clustering techniques, and after further analysis they can support measuring the activity space and intensity of activity participation of the user. By fusing the information about activity locations with land use and points of interest (POI) data, as well as with more data acquired from the smartphone sensors (e.g. phone status, Bluetooth, charging, phone interaction etc.), and taking into account temporal dimensions, it is then possible to infer the type of activity at these location (including home and work locations) and subsequently trip/ activity purposes can be disclosed. In addition to the above, and building on the identification of meaningful clusters, WiFi data have the potential to assist the identification of origins and destinations of trips (often missing in case of GPS). This information can then be used for improving and validating trip detection algorithms, which currently appear to be problematic and hence introduce biases in the subsequent stage of map-matching (e.g. one a known trip is segmented in several due to the limitations of the algorithm and GPS data). This project aims at exploiting the advantages of the WiFi data discussed above for individual mobility analysis.

Activities in Paléo Music Festival from Bluetooth, Elisaveta Kondratieva (Communication Systems)

Supervision: Antonin Danalet
Can we guess the activities of spectators in a music festival from Bluetooth traces collected from 10 people with smartphones used as antennas? This project will study an existing dataset and existing map data from Pal�o music festival in Nyon, Switzerland. Depending on the results, the report will either draw conclusions about spectators' behavior, or recommend other data collection specifications for this particular case study. For more information, don't hesitate to contact the assistant of the project.

Visualization of pedestrian demand in a 3D graph, Javier Lopez-Montenegro Ramil (Computer science)

Supervision: Antonin Danalet, Bilal Farooq
This project aims at visualizing flows in a pedestrian graph in 3D. The graph is coded as a postGIS database (postgresql). The goal consists in representing the density at each node and eventually the flows between the nodes (data coming from our own algorithm). The visualization needs to be both in 3D and in 2D for printing. An IC student would ideally fit the goal of this project. The first step would be to compare the pros and cons of <a href="http://processing.org/">Processing</a> and Google <a href="https://maps.google.com/">Map</a>/<a href="www.google.com/earth/index.html">Earth</a>. Then it would consists in visualizing the pedestrian graph in the chosen tool. As a final step, the student will include density data of signals (without treatment) and the results of our algorithm in the map (treated data) and generate final maps and animations from data. As an inspiration of how it could possibly look like <a href="http://youtu.be/I17_nuPiJI4">this</a> (but with pedestrian as dots instead of trains)

Dynamic estimation of pedestrian origin-destination within train stations: Exploitation of pedestrian tracking data and comparison to travel surveys, Maëlle Zimmermann (Mathematics)

Supervision: Flurin Hänseler, Antonin Danalet
OD demand will be estimated dynamically (i.e., as a function of time) based on observed pedestrian trajectories. Key in this process is a diligent choice of origins/destinations and their cordons, as well as a smart handling of �lost� pedestrians, i.e., people of which the algorithm looses track due to overcrowding or bad light conditions. Another challenge is finding a way to deal with multi-destination trips. For instance, a person entering a train station which goes to a ticket vending machine before boarding a train falls into this category. To help us tackle these issues, VisioSafe grants us access to some of their codes such that we can see how they have solved similar problems. Besides developing an OD estimation algorithm based on tracking data, visualization of OD demand is an important part of this thesis. Furthermore, it might be interesting to investigate how the estimated OD demand compares to previous estimates based on travel surveys (Anken et al., 2012) and pedestrian count data (ASE).

Tracking Pedestrians with WiFi Traces, Yusen Bian (Mathematics)

Supervision: Antonin Danalet
Gathering data about pedestrian localization and tracking indoor is a hot topic today. WiFi traces to track pedestrian paths have been collected on EPFL Campus. The poor quality and the scarcity of WiFi localization precludes the use of traditional map matching methods. This project aims at adapting methods recently developed for Smartphone GPS data.

Analyse des fréquentations de bus en Suisse, Suzy Polka (Communication Systems)

Supervision: Antonin Danalet
Ce projet de semestre porte sur une analyse des donn�es de fr�quentation de plusieurs lignes de bus � travers la Suisse. Il s'agit d'analyser le lien entre la fr�quentation et diff�rents autres facteurs tels que la fr�quence de la ligne, des variables temporelles (jour de la semaine, heure de la journ�e), le type de ligne, le bassin (densit� de population, emplois) ou encore le lien avec une gare CFF (pr�sence, mais aussi �ventuellement fr�quence des trains dans cette gare, ou du moins type de gare). Ce projet permet de travailler sur des donn�es d'une grande richesse, au sein d'un projet de recherche multidisciplinaire en cours en lien avec l'industrie et d'autres laboratoires de l'EPFL, en particulier la CEAT.
