Developing applications with pass-by communication is usually complex and expensive, since the applications heavily depend on the hardware to detect rendezvous (i.e., proximity) of mobile entities. In order to reduce the complexity and cost of the application development, we propose a device-independent formalization of the pass-by rendezvous of mobile entities in this paper. Specifically, we first...
Tracking and managing the locations of moving objects are essential in modern intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). However, a number of limitations in existing methods make them unsuitable for real-world ITS applications. In particular, Euclidean-based methods are not accurate enough in representing locations and in analyzing traffic, unless the locations are frequently updated. Network-based...
Attendance system which is currently excist still has weaknesses. The first is the long queues in front of the attendace machine at the time to come to work and leave work. The second is cheating, employees can ask her/his friend to do attendance process. The third is mostly attendance system has not been connected with the payment system in human resouces software or in the finance department. The...
In order to solve the current smart phone location-based services LBS (Location Based Service) class of mobile applications in a small area of the environment can not be accurately provide location services issues, Presented to the Campus of LBS system design based on indoor and outdoor location. First introduced system architecture design, and detailed analysis of the Mobile GIS, GPS, system design...
This paper presents the architecture of an extended area monitoring system based on crowdsourcing and mobile devices. In particular areas (as very large historical sites) it can be difficult or impossible to install fixed cameras due to the huge number of candidate points of interest (POI) to monitoring or to the significant impact on site (i.e. cameras or other sensors could be too invasive towards...
A trip-tracking system records people traveled route which could be retrieved immediately or latter for certain purposes. The recent tracking application does not integrate both passive and real-time tracking function into one system. The aim of this work is to build a tracking system that integrates both passive and real-time tracking functions. A new system architecture consisting the client side...
In this paper, an android based SAMS (Smart Activities Monitoring System) application for smart phone is proposed. This application is developed with the aim of increasing the national security in Pakistan. In last decade, various incidents including militant attacks and ransom-demands have been reported in which cell phones played a central role in communication between the culprits. The tracking...
A great challenge in developing countries is the constant traffic jams in urban areas, which are a consequence of excessive use of private vehicles. In these countries, more people would adopt public transportation, e.g., buses, if the time of arrival for the next vehicle to each bus stop could be predicted. In this direction, we propose WiBus, which is a system to estimate buses arrival time, based...
Advances in wireless internet, sensor technologies, mobile technologies, and global positioning technologies have renewed interest in location based services (LBSs) among mobile users. LBSs on smartphones allow consumers to locate nearby products and services, in exchange of their location information. Precision of location data helps for accurate query processing of LBSs but it may lead to severe...
Boat is one of the most popular vehicles for local people and tourists to travel in Bangkok, Thailand, since there is no traffic jam. Without accurate arrival time, however, boat becomes an inconvenient transportation since the waiting time can be varied from 10 minutes to an hour. In this paper, we propose a novel boat arrival time prediction system by using passengers' mobile phones. The system...
The paper reports the proof-of-concept tests, i.e. ergonomic, non-mobility tests with participation of blind volunteers and emphatic field trials (i.e. with the participation of sighted individuals) of a teleassistance system for the visually impaired. The system consists of two terminals connected by the GSM and Internet networks. The mobile terminal, housing a digital camera, GPS receiver and headset,...
Dynamic changes can present significant challenges for visually impaired travelers to safely and independently navigate urban environments. To address these challenges, we are developing the NavPal suite of technology tools [1]. NavPal includes a dynamic guidance tool [2] in the form of a smartphone app that can provide real-time instructions based on available map information to guide navigation...
Increasing safety and environmental requirements of modern cities transport infrastructure rely on progress in the area of intelligent transportation systems and presume the widespread use of V2V and V2I communication to implement the user-oriented cloud services like persistent Internet access, traffic accidents information and routing capabilities. Because of the noticeable time delay in vehicles...
This research paper focuses on the sensitive issue of traffic jams on roads, which often lead to some problems like- missing of an important meeting or appointment, missing of scheduled trains, getting late for schools/college etc. or sometimes a conflict amongst people. However this paper tries to sort this problem by tracking the root cause of it i.e. “the movement of vehicles on roads” and hereby...
Augmented Reality & Mobile Augmented Reality has very widely used in nowadays Smartphone's and there is not any Software Architecture available. So when one application will develop for Mobile Augmented Reality will targeted only on one mobile handsets or device. When the device will change for some reason the application will require to Re-Architect because of its operating system and handle...
This paper proposes a conceptual framework and experimental analysis of low-cost bus tracking system. This system eases every user with a simple basic functionality mobile phone to get the information of the bus. The main advantage of the system is that it neither requires a GPS nor an internet connection. The user has to simply send a sms from his mobile phone in a specified format to a standard...
The people who use inner city public transportation vehicles want to get information about the current status of the public transportation vehicles and they want to know the travel time of the vehicles both while travelling and waiting at the bus stops. In this study, a smart bus stop-passenger information system was developed in order to enable administers effectively monitor the public transportation...
In cloud computing, geographic location of data is one of major security concerns of cloud users. To resolve this problem, most of previous work has been done on trusted relocation service in cloud service providers. For example, users are allowed to determine the physical location of their cloud servers and ensured about their requirements of relocation-based restrictions. However, it is also essential...
In recent years, mainly advertisements and vouchers are used for providing discounts, text messages and posters were mainly used till date but to advertise on a mobile device is need of the current scenario. Vendors must be allowed to publish and edit an advertisement to users according to the interest of the customer. This technique has low cost for digital advertisement and has a pervasive system...
The ability to locate wireless devices has many benefits as already mentioned by researchers. These applications include sport tracking, friend finders, security related jobs, surveillance etc. Performance of such security related services and surveillance would significantly improve if in addition to location, context of the user is also known. Thus in this paper, location based service is designed...
