Home/work detector

After understanding how data is processed to define a visit to a location, a detection algorithm can help identify the locations where a user consistently spends significant amounts of time. Repeated overnight stays typically indicate someone's home location, while frequent extended stays during the day often suggest a work location.

We can use this information directly (driving time, service area, ...) or as input for other algorithms, such as filtering out visits from people who live above a store.

Evaluations on our test users have shown that the algorithm achieves very high accuracy in identifying these frequent locations.
