Abstract
The recent availability of large datasets of people whereaboutsprovides an unprecedented opportunity to study the pulse of thecity. We develop tools to apply Kernel Density Estimation to whereaboutsdata collected though GPS-logging applications. We evaluatedsuch mechanisms using approximately 790,000 GPS traces extractedfrom Nokia Sports Tracker. We first show that our approach can beapplied to identify popular areas of the city. Then, we present somenovel applications of the above technique. This kind of analysis allowsto highlight human-centered geographies that can support city planningand context-aware pervasive services for urban spaces.
