MultiTrack: Flexible Use of Multiple Location Technologies

02/23/2017

With the development of networks and mobile devices, Location-Based Services (LBS) have emerged that require location information to provide their services to users. In this work, we describe MultiTrack, a framework that provides location information for LBS using different location technologies and/or techniques. For testing and evaluation purposes, we developed a smartphone application called Cycle-to-Shop, which requires location information for rewarding users that arrive at certain locations according to different rules and scenarios (e.g. go to school by bicycle). Experimental results obtained by using the Cycle-to-Shop rewarding application with MultiTrack are presented and described, enhancing how MultiTrack achieves its goals. At last, we present the conclusions obtained during the project.
