Acadia visitor study: A mobile tracking application
Plante J and Hogan J. 2019. Acadia visitor study: A mobile tracking application. Worcester Polytechnic Institute
From the abstract: "Visitor congestion is an issue in Acadia National Park, as it is the most densely visited national park in the United States. We addressed this problem with a visitor tracking cell phone application. The data collected from the application aims to aid the park in efficiently using their limited resources. We tracked WPI students and administered a survey to park visitors. We then visualized all of the data into intuitive formats. Finally, we generated three ways for the park to deploy the project in various capacities."
