Public transport plays a crucial role in meeting a city's transportation needs. Moreover, it helps reduce traffic congestion and vehicular pollution. In India, buses are the preferred mode of transit due to their cheap fare and extensive routes. The major obstacles to their usage are: 1) overcrowding and 2) uncertainty in arrival time. Crowd estimation techniques using cameras, infrared lasers at...
The use of location based authentication services has seen a sudden boom with the reduced cost of GPS hardware and small size-factors. However, the drawbacks associated with the GPS related services makes it infeasible to incorporate GPS in all the mobile nodes (MN) and subject to availability of GPS signals. This demands for alternatives that can be used directly or indirectly in place of GPS for...
The brief of this paper is to discuss the design and realization of precision agriculture information system based on 5S. The precision agriculture is representing the direction of agriculture development, is also the focal point of agriculture research. In this paper, the concept of precision agriculture and the features of 5S technology are briefly introduced. Then an application of 5S technology...
So far, the disaster information has been offered based on a text and an image conventionally. With the substantiality of the recent information infrastructure, a disaster prevention system can offer disaster information on top of Web-GIS a lot. Because information of the stricken area is not considered as the form which takes care of temporal occasion in the existing system, the time change of the...
With the rapid increase in expressway mileage, accidents and casualties are increasing frequently. Expressway construction in China starts later than developed countries and lack of mature and comprehensive emergency rescue systems. There are some limitations in accident rescue process and information processing such as low coordination level between multi departments and low level of information...
This paper explores the use of mobile Geographic Information System (GIS) computing in its application in water point management. Applications based on mobile GIS are the best way to provide appropriate solutions for rural populations such as breeders in Senegal. In fact, the breeders have many problems to find water points for their cattle group. So far, the potential geographic location of water...
In the past, the disaster information has been offered based on a text and an image conventionally. With the substantiality of the recent information infrastructure, it is suggested a disaster prevention system to offer in the form that put disaster information on top of one another on Web-GIS a lot. Because the information of the stricken area was not offered in the form that considered an axis in...
Bus service is the main transportation in Bangkok. According to this service, people are able to travel to anywhere and any places in Bangkok. This leads to the increasing of bus routes which causes confusion to bus users. Although, at present, many routing information systems have been implemented but none of them could offer travel-time approximation. As a consequence of the shortages of such significant...

Traffic Information System(s) (TIS) has drawn a lot research attention in recent few years. Existing TIS proposals can be classified into two categories: infrastructure-less and infrastructure-based. Currently proposed infrastructure-less TIS cover only local scope; although the second type is likely to cover city-wide areas, it relies on expensive infrastructure-support. The design of an infrastructure-less...
Mobile communication presents one of the mainstream research challenges in Information Communication Technologies. GPS, EGNOS and in near future GALILEO, represent technologies that enable implementation of innovative services following the concept of Personal Info-Mobility. The information can be related to time and territory, thus it presents quite interesting opportunities for location-based services...
