A Bayesian Approach to Detect Pedestrian Destination-Sequences from WiFi Signatures

In this technical report, we propose a methodology to use the communication network infra- structure, 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 in generating 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. 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.
