Especially, in dense urban cities where it is hard to oversee complex transport networks that are subject to frequent changes, maintenance and construction works, travellers want to be proactively notified about disruptions and traffic incidents relevant to their future behaviour. In this paper, we show how to mine characteristic patterns of the transport routines of urban bus riders for the design of novel travel information system that have the ability to understand forthcoming travel needs of individual users. We leverage on travel histories collected from automated fare collection system (AFC) to extract features of personal transport usage and study their predictive power to forecast whether people access public transport services on a future day or not.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122112550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Customers generally perceive their shopping experience in an aggregated way, which leaves little room for supermarkets managers to understand what triggers negative feelings. Moreover, adapting the supermarket design to clients' needs is crucial to retain current customers. Accommodating facilities make shoppers feel pleased. In this paper we show the design and initial deployment of a pervasive system that registers location-stamped stress levels of supermarket customers during their shopping. The system aims to discover stress hot spots in a supermarket, which will help managers locate and solve design and store management deficiencies.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125785219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The practicality of this solution preserves variables directly related to the wearer's needs such as Comfort, Perceptibility, and Awareness that must be prioritized equally with Accuracy and Precision of the sensor data. The central contribution of this approach is to improve the quality of the measured data while preserving user comfort.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125080620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Micro-blog, as the most important information exchange and broadcast tool in the current society, is becoming an important channel for teenagers' information acquisition, inter-interaction, self-expression, emotion release due to its unique equality, freedom, fragmentation, individuality characteristics. This poster envisions a micro-blog platform, aiming to (1) sense psychological pressures through teenagers' tweets, and (2) assist teenagers to release their stress through micro-blog. A method for timely detecting psychological pressures from teenagers' tweets is particularly described. Our preliminary experimental results on real data demonstrate the validity of the approach. We also discuss ways to assist teenagers to release their pressures through micro-blog at the end of the poster.","PeriodicalId":220524,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126731851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
