在大型活动期间获取数据以捕捉人员流动和互动是一项具有挑战性的任务。在本文中，我们讨论了一个移动的传感方法，在大型活动中使用参与式蓝牙传感方法来映射人群的移动性。这种用于收集有关参与者移动性和社交互动的时空数据的非侵入性技术使用参与者携带的支持蓝牙的智能手机的功能。作为一个概念验证，我们提出了一个实地研究的方法部署在一个大型音乐节与13万名参与者，其中一小部分参与者安装在他们的个人智能手机上的蓝牙传感应用程序。我们的软件模块使用位置和蓝牙扫描，利用智能手机作为临时扫描仪，在参与者密度高的地区以更高的频率出现。我们讨论了所获得的初步成果，并概述了这种方法引入的机遇和挑战，沿着的机会，为未来的普及系统和应用。
Acquisition of data to capture human mobility and interactions during large-scale events is a challenging task. In this paper we discuss a mobile sensing method for mapping the mobility of crowds at large scale events using a participatory Bluetooth sensing approach. This non-invasive technique for collecting spatio-temporal data about participant mobility and social interactions uses the capabilities of Bluetooth capable smartphones carried by participants. As a proof-of-concept we present a field study with deployment of the method in a large music festival with 130000 participants where a small subset of participants installed Bluetooth sensing apps on their personal smartphones. Our software module uses location and Bluetooth scans to utilize smartphones as provisional scanners that are present with higher frequency in regions with high density of participants. We discuss the initial results obtained and outline opportunities and challenges introduced by this methodology along with opportunities for future pervasive systems and applications.
