Abstract |
In disaster situations like earthquakes and hurricanes, people have difficulties accessing shelter and requesting help. Many smartphone applications provide behavioral advice or means to communicate during such situations. However, to what extent a person is affected by a disaster is often unclear, as these applications rely on the user's subjective assessment. Therefore, detecting a user's situation is key to provide more meaningful information in such applications and to allows first responders to better assess incoming messages. We propose a predictive model that recognizes four normal and ten disaster-related activities achieving an average f1-score of up to 90.1\%, solely based on sensor readings of the subject's mobile device. We conduct an extensive measurement-based evaluation to assess the impact of individual model parameters on the prediction accuracy. Our model is orientation-independent, position-independent, and subject-independent, making it an ideal foundation for future context-aware emergency applications. |
