Individual Movement Trajectories in Smart Homes

A project in innovation technology for the advancement of smart home to help elderly is conducted. The aim is to anticipate the dangerous situations that may happen at home (fall, restlessness, fainting, running away etc.) trough individual data collection and analysis of movement trajectories. This paper describes a conceptual space/time model of movement trajectories (beginning, end, stop and move). These models can be used for danger prevention in smart home. Results are presented for apartment scenarios and individual movement trajectories.
