MOBIUS - reinventing smart mobility

 

Since November 2019 in my postdoc at CAROU of the Open University of the Netherlands, I am working on a SafeCity project called MOBIUS - modelling smart and safe MOBIlity for Urban Sustainability.

There together with the help of Khaleel and HansBambel we are creating an app for remote tracking. By collecting smartphone's sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS coordinates, the MOBIUS is able to classify accurately the means of transportation used by the citizens of a city. 

The MOBIUS app is an example of smart-mobility applications, which, by collecting crowdsourcing data, could be able to provide more insights into how people move around an urban area. The app will be hopefully trialled in the city of Heerlen in The Netherlands.
