We have begun to study the routes concept. Using the Android framework and the GPS position we can obtain our location in every moment.
The route can be compose by initial point and final point, but with this type of route we lose some interesting data like congestion, stops or time we are in a certain place. So, we can implemented a meanish that save routes with several points of information. For example, we are saving the location (latitude,longitude) and the datetime each five second (independently of distance traveled from the previous point). Using this system we can obtaing routes such as those the image shown.
We can see in the image where we have had more congestion (accumulation of points) or areas where we have gone faster (points separated). Also we can get this mechanism saving points each five seconds if the distance traveled from the previous point is more than 15 meters (for example). This way doesn’t require to save a lot of points, it’s sufficient save the timestamp of each point and analize this inofrmation later.
