CRAWDAD metadata: rice/ad_hoc_city (v. 2003-09-11)

We acquired several weeklong traces of the movement of the fleet of city buses in Seattle, Washington, on their normal routes providing passenger bus service throughout the city.

environment
We propose a system, called Ad Hoc City, that is a multitier wireless 
ad hoc network routing architecture for generalpurpose wide-area 
communication.  To evaluate our proposed design through simulation,
we collected traces of the actual movement of the fleet of city
buses in the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area, on their normal
routes providing passenger bus service throughout the city.

Seattle provides a topographically challenging routing 
environment, created by a 35 square mile lake in the middle 
of the city. The bus system is composed of over 1200 
vehicles covering a 5100 square kilometer area.
network
An Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system tracks each bus
using a combination of odometry and signpost transmitters.
Internet users can monitor the location of each bus
in real-time using the Busview software.

methodology
To evaluate the Ad Hoc City architecture, we used
traces of the actual movement of buses in the Seattle,
Washington area King County Metro bus system. We chose
the King County bus system because the data was available
on-line, and because bus movement patterns closely
match other vehicular traffic patterns.

An Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system tracks each bus
using a combination of odometry and signpost transmitters.
Internet users can monitor the location of each bus
in real-time using the Busview software. We developed
mechanisms for recording the data being delivered to
Busview clients, and for converting the recorded data into
movement patterns suitable for use in the ns-2 network simulator, 
which we use to evaluate our system.

configuration
The traces are based on location update messages sent
by each bus.
format
The traces in Trace1 directory correspond to several weeks worth of data.

Each line in the traces is formatted as follows:

<day>-<month>:<time> <bus_id> <route_id> <unknown> <x_coord> <y_coord>

The route_id signifies the route followed by a bus.  Multiple buses may follow a given
bus route at any time.  The x and y coordinates are in feet and were computed from the
latitude and longitude values reported in the raw traces.
