Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of systems and methods are provided for determining detailed locations of entities. One exemplary method includes receiving at least one signal record for a communication device associated with a user. The at least one signal record includes multiple signal strengths, a temporal indicator, and an identifier unique to the communication device. The exemplary method further includes accessing multiple discrete event records associated with the entity, correlating one of the multiple discrete event records to the at least one signal record based on the temporal indicator included in the at least one signal record, and generating a location range associated with the entity, based on the signal strengths included in the at least one signal record, whereby a location of the entity, distinct from one or more other entities, is indicated by the location range.
