  2. Sequence The MetroSense Project & BikeNet The sensing system Sensor data! Lessons Related work Wrap up BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  3. MetroSense • People-centric Sensing • Bringing sensor networks into mainstream use by the general population • Sensing systems applied to everyday activities • BikeNet • Representative of this class of sensing systems • Focused on recreational sensing BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  4. BikeNet • Recreational Sensing: Cyclist Experience Mapping • 57 million cyclists in the U.S. • A diversity of requirements Athletic Training Fun and Leisure Means of Transport BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  5. BikeNet • Demonstrating the faces of people-centric sensing systems: Public Utility Sensing Personal Sensing Social Network Shared Data Air Quality Braking Cyclist Experience Mapping Cyclist Community Noise Coasting Sensing power for the people Car Density Distance BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  9. The Sensing System Hardware Prototypes BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  10. The Sensing System • Sampling meaningful sensor data required sensor type specific consideration of: • Mounting • Housing • Calibration • Meeting these requirements were as challenging as any part of the system. • Example: • Tilt Sensor BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  11. The Sensing System • Example: Tilt Sensor (slope of path) • Used 2-D Accelerometer • Complicated by: • Noise from bike frame vibration • Difference in precise orientation angle. • Bike specific error characteristics demanding bike specific calibration • 3 point calibration process with known stationary angles BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  30. Lessons • Mobility and people bring new challenges to experimental system development. • How to debug and perform evaluation? • Experiments require much more time and effort to perform • Experiments are less predictable with people in the loop • Difficulties exist in finding an experimental methodology (i.e., repeatability). BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  31. Lessons Debugging on the go! BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  32. Lessons • Moving from protocols to caring about the payload changes everything! • Noisy data. • Vibrations from the bike frame. • Consider physical solutions (i.e. improving the mounting) before attempting post processing solutions • Validating inferences and collected sensor data requires time and effort. • Counting cars by hand with button clicks from a bike (tricky and dangerous) • Manual measurement of road angles • Ground Truth Helmet BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  33. Lessons Sometimes it takes 190 odd kilometers to get it right BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  34. Lessons • Moving from protocols to caring about the payload changes everything! • Noisy data. Vibration in the bike frame. • Determining appropriate sampling rates. • Consider physical solutions (i.e. improving the mounting) before attempting post processing solutions • Validating inferences and sensor data requires time and effort. • Counting cars by hand with button clicks from a bike (tricky and dangerous) • Manual measurement of road angles • Ground Truth Helmet BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu

  35. Lessons Ground-Truth Validation Helmet BikeNet niclane@cs.dartmouth.edu
