EPFL Panel Lémanique vs Loci

EPFL's LaSUR lab has launched a new application that allows users to track their mobility behaviour and provide valuable data for reasearch! The Panel Lémanique app offers users the chance to review where they've been and how they got there, providing an overview of their daily movements thanks to the available map. Additionally, users can find out which transport means were the fastest for them and which they used most often, thanks to personal statistics generated by the app. The app is part of a research project conducted by EPFL's LaSUR lab, which aims at understanding individual mobility behaviour in the Lémanic region to cut carbon emissions for a more sustainable future. The app collects data on user movements, such as the time and location of their journeys, which are then analysed to provide insights into how people travel and what factors influence their mobility behaviour. This information can be used to inform policy decisions and improve transportation infrastructure

Automatically record your routes and light up the places you've been on the map. Walking, running, cycling, and driving become color-coded trails that show transport mode and speed. No check-ins, no timers. Not a workout app or a travel checklist — more like a map that grows with your everyday life, turning commutes, weekend walks, and the occasional trip away into routes and memories you can come back to later. You probably don't realize how much ground you cover in a day. The alley you cut through this morning. The riverside ride last weekend. That spontaneous trip last summer — they slip away. A few months later you can barely place where you went, or when. ● FOOTPRINT MAP Open Loci and your map starts to take shape: the streets you've walked, the neighborhoods you know, and the corners still waiting. ● AUTO TRIPS & LIVE TRAIL Each time you head out, walking, cycling, and driving are organized into trips automatically — distance, speed, pace, elevation, weather, heart rate, cadence, stride, and active calories are all kept. As you move, the map draws your trail in real time, color-coded by speed or transport so pace and pauses show at a glance. The trail keeps recording even with the phone locked in your pocket. ● LOW-POWER Using iPhone's motion sensing, Loci does not need to run high-frequency location updates all the time. When you stop, it lowers the recording frequency to save battery; when you move again, it captures your trail more often. In everyday use, a full day usually costs only a few percent of battery. ● TRIP DETAILS When a trip ends, you get a detailed trip card with the full route replay, elevation and heart-rate curves, and selected photos from that day, chosen from your library for clearer, more memorable moments. After every drive, Loci saves your parked location so you do not have to circle the lot looking for your car. ● LIFE RECAPS At the end of a month or a year, Loci turns that period into a short story: where you went, which new places you lit up, and what kind of weather followed your days. You can also search your records in plain English, such as "places I went from home last week" or "my longest drive this year." Loci finds the answer from your trail history. ● HEATMAP Switch on the heatmap and the places you walk most often glow the brightest — your commute, your daily radius, the regulars, all at a glance. ● PRIVACY & SYNC Your footprint stays on this device by default. If you want a backup, a new phone, or the same history on iPhone and iPad, you can sync with iCloud or WebDAV; data is encrypted on-device before syncing. Start today. It may not feel like much at first, but when you open it again later, you may realize just how much ground your life has covered. --- PREMIUM — AUTO-RENEWABLE SUBSCRIPTION Premium is an optional annual subscription that unlocks full trip replay, unlimited natural-language history search, and more premium features.
