Abstract

This paper describes a template-driven pragmatic approach to characterising habitual ambulatory movements in constrained physical settings, using step count data from consumer wearable devices. A generic design process was undertaken using design science principles to establish the main structural elements of the template. The template was then applied to data collection and analysis for a case study in a typical office building environment. The associated activity habit characterisation results for three participants across two different simulated activities are presented.
