Overview

The University of Sussex-Huawei Locomotion (SHL) dataset is a versatile annotated dataset of modes of locomotion and transportation of mobile users. It was recorded over a period of 7 months in 2017 by 3 participants engaging in 8 different modes of transportation in real-life setting in the United Kingdom.

Origin

The SHL dataset was collected by the Wearable Technologies Lab at the University of Sussex as part of a research project funded by Huawei. While we are still working on the analysis of this dataset, we have decided to release part of it to the scientific community.

Sensors

The dataset contains multi-modal data from a body-worn camera and from 4 smartphones, carried simultaneously at typical body locations.

Data

The SHL dataset contains 750 hours of labelled locomotion data: Car (88 h), Bus (107 h), Train (115 h), Subway (89 h), Walk (127 h), Run (21 h), Bike (79 h), and Still (127 h). As participants carried 4 smartphones, the amount of data acquired is effectively 4 times larger (3000 hours in total).

Cumulative duration of each activity in the complete dataset

Applications

The SHL dataset is suitable for a wide range of studies in fields such as transportation recognition, activity recognition, mobility pattern mining, localization, tracking, and sensor fusion.
