Abstract

Sensor data gathered from mobile devices generates big data, which can help organizations continuously monitor a wide range of processes in ways that prompt actions and generate value. However, generating reliable data from such devices is not straightforward and presents a variety of challenges. This article describes the challenges and provides guidelines based on a case study of "Street Bump", a mobile device app that the City of Boston uses to facilitate road infrastructure management.Click here for free 2-page executive summary (pdf)
