Day 8 Week 2

Kim and I test drove the rover through the building to see if we could collect some tracking data via the rover. It appears that the speed of the rover is not sufficient to trigger any readings on the GPS device other than the initial location of Discovery Park. We repeated the test with the same GPS unit and walked the same path and did collect data. We will look to repeat the test at a later time using a faster remote controlled  rover/vehicle.

Jason mentioned we will use Excel to look at small segments of data to determine/find common trajectories. Using this algorithm, a software program may be written to use on larger amounts of data depicting similar patterns.
