environment
Five sites are chosen for collecting human mobility traces.
These are two university campuses (NCSU and KAIST), New
York City, Disney World (Orlando), and North Carolina state
fair.
network
Garmin GPS 60CSx handheld receivers are used for
data collection which are WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation
System) capable with a position accuracy of better than three
meters 95 percent of the time, in North America.
collection
The GPS receivers take reading of their current positions 
at every 10 seconds and record them into a daily track log.
limitation
Occasionally, track information has discontinuity mainly 
when bearers move indoor where GPS signals cannot be received.
note
The Campus I traces are taken by 20 students. The participants 
in Campus I were randomly selected students who took a course 
in the computer science department. Every week, 2 or 3 randomly 
chosen students carried the GPS receivers for their daily regular 
activities. 

The Campus II traces are taken by 32 students who live in a campus 
dormitory. 

The New York City traces were obtained from 12 volunteers living in 
Manhattan or its vicinity. Most of the participants have offices 
in Manhattan. Their track logs contain relatively long distance 
travels because of their long commuting paths. Their means of 
travel include subway trains, buses and mostly walking. 

The State fair track logs were collected from 8 volunteers who 
visited a local state fair that includes many street arcades, small 
street food stands and showcases. The event was very popular 
and attended by more than one thousand people daily for two 
weeks. The site is completely outdoor and is smallest among 
all the sites. Each participant in the State fair scenario spent 
less than three hours in the site. 

The Disney World traces were obtained from nineteen volunteers 
who spent their thanksgiving or Christmas holidays in Disney World, 
Florida, USA. For our study, we use only the track logs from 
the inside of the theme parks. The participants mainly walked 
in the parks and occasionally rode trolleys.

methodology
The GPS receivers take reading of their current positions 
at every 10 seconds and record them into a daily track log. 

All participants in the five scenarios are different 
individuals. 

The radius of each trace is a half of the maximum distance 
that a participant travels during a day.
limitation
Occasionally, track information has discontinuity mainly 
	when bearers move indoor where GPS signals cannot be received.
