Driving with distraction or losing alertness increases the risk of the traffic accident. The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) systems for smart driving hold the promise of significantly reducing road accidents. In particular, detecting the unsafe hand motions and warning the driver using smart sensors can improve the driver's self-alertness and the driving skill. However, due to the impact of the...
The past decade has witnessed a tremendous growth in the variety and complexity of mobile applications (apps). Although considerable amount of efforts have been spent to improve app performance, smartphones nowadays still face many performance challenges. We discover that the resource contention of multiple running apps, caused by resource bottleneck(s), is a key factor that affects the smartphone...
In order to save human lives and reduce injury and property loss, Situation Awareness (SA) information is essential and important for rescue workers to perform the effective and timely disaster relief. The information is generally derived from the shared images via widely used smartphones. However, conventional smartphone-based image sharing schemes fail to efficiently meet the needs of SA applications...
For mobile apps, user-perceived delays are critical for user satisfaction. According to our measurement, long delays are commonly caused by network and storage I/O operations while short delays are mainly caused by UI rendering. Short delays are not uncommon, which account for 55.3% in our measurement cases. Previous app performance studies have largely focused on I/O operations but the understanding...
There have been many traffic light control systems around the globe, but the high cost of infrastructure and maintenance hinders their wide deployment. However, speed-advisory systems enabled by on-vehicle devices are much cheaper and easier to deploy. The first challenge of such systems is to get the traffic signal schedule in complex intersections. The second challenge is to get map information...
