Location tracking is an essential problem for mobility-based applications that facilitate the daily life of Smartphone users. Existing applications often use energyhungry sensors like GPS or gyroscope to detect significant journeys. Recent research has often focused on optimizing energy consumption. As a result, approaches were proposed using sensors fusions, hybrid or eventual sensors selection. However, such research largely neglects the performance in underground tracking of automotive mobility. Possible solutions, such as those involving barometers, have well-known issues regarding performance. Oppositely, although energy-friendly, accelerometers are often overlooked based on the assumption that pattern extraction is hard due to over-noisy characteristics of the signal. In this paper, we propose a ready-to-use Framework for underground train tracking. This Framework uses an adaptive Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to process the Accelerometer data. We run an empirical study using data collected from Smartphone embedded accelerometers, to track departings and arrivals of the trains in four large European cities. Results show that: 1) the Framework is able to accurately locate the trains; 2) SSA adds improvements compared to Butterworth filters and complementary filter with sensors fusion.
