Hi! Having worked on this project, I can provide some details on why we didn't end up using the pressure sensor.
As others have stated, not all phones have pressure sensors, and the quality of the readings also varies a lot between different models. For example, we had one device where the readings would spike when squeezing the phone.
Transit also doesn't have permission to read the pressure sensor, and our use case wouldn't justify asking for it.
- WhyNotHugo 2y agoHave you considered publishing the data gathered and/or the generated models? For others wanting to implement similar functionality, it would be great if they didn't need to re-do the entire work from scratch.
- cosmojg 2y agoEh, I wouldn't count on it. Transit's trying to compete with the behemoths, and this seems to be their latest shot at securing a competitive advantage. I, too, hope they open-source their work eventually, but I also want to see them succeed in disrupting the transportation navigation space! (Not that those things are mutually exclusive, of course.)
