The threat of terrorism is a constant reminder of the significance of developing effective strategies to safeguard the population. This is particularly important in large, densely populated areas, which can often be the primary targets of a terrorist attack. In such a situation, the implementation of a depopulation plan becomes very challenging to manage. This paper explores one possible method of...
The ubiquitous nature of present wireless networks makes the real-time and accurate location-tracking of mobile assets a realizable possibility. However, the existing solutions with their high infrastructure and operational costs, and technical implementation difficulties are not attractive for practical event-activated asset tracking, control, and diagnostics. In this paper, we provide complete system...
A traveler assistant for public transport is described in this paper. The main purpose of this system is to provide to the passenger real time information about the route, for example: estimated time to the next stop of the route or estimated time to the traveler destination, also if desired, tourist information about nearby interesting points. The application is designed for all kind of passengers,...
In this paper, we present a traffic information service platform to alleviate difficulties of current urban traffic systems. For problems including difficulty of parking, traffic congestion and passengers missing taxies may be caused by lacking of real time information; the platform can provide useful information based on devices such as vehicle passing sensors, mobile communication modems and smart...
A low cost, Cell Phone based system design has been proposed in this paper, which would automatically inform the nearest Police Radio Flying Squad or Traffic Dept. vehicles from a vehicle affected in an accident without the need of any human intervention. The collision detector inside the vehicle would send an update to the Police Control Room Server which in turn would immediately send a ‘SMSOrder’...
Global Positioning System (GPS) is becoming widely used for tracking and monitoring vehicles. Many systems have been created to provide such services which make them popular and needed more than ever before. In this paper a “GPS vehicle tracking system” is proposed. This system is useful for fleet operators in monitoring driving behavior of employees or parents monitoring their teen drivers. Moreover,...
In our country, traffic violations leading to car crashes results in thousands of deaths each year, most of which occur because of breaking speed limits and unauthorized overtaking. So making a smart system which could record these violations and dispatch them for higher authorities has become a need in today's world. Making such a system drivers would feel the police presence on roads and as a result...
Excessive Green House Gas emission and high fuel consumption from vehicles has become not only an environmental but also an economic issue. This work demonstrates CarbonRecorder, a mobile-social application suite that is designed to enable individuals to track their daily vehicular carbon emission, and share them on social networks. It is intended to not only raise social awareness of vehicular carbon...
The KOMOBAR project utilizes a software agent based approach to create a decision support system for the purpose of optimizing logistic processes in the agricultural domain. This domain requires a flexible approach, which has the ability to work decentralized. The paper explains an architecture for software agent based decentralised decision support structures and discusses the problems of mobile...
When a vehicle is moving fast in a highway, how to effectively reduce the handoff delay and maintain the connectivity of the vehicle to the Internet is an important issue. The existing IP passing protocol may be able to reduce the handoff delay and maintain the connectivity of the vehicle to the Internet when all the vehicles are connected. However, when the vehicle density is low or the speeds of...
Location service can be used to provide location information of vehicles for various applications including the position-based routing protocols in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET). The performance and the overhead of location service in VANET largely depends on the mechanisms to assign the vehicles to the location servers. Utilizing hash functions to determine the location server of a vehicle allows...
The Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) the acknowledged subclass of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) draws demanding research efforts in the intriguing field of computer networks. Auto addressing protocols for VANET has not been investigated in a great deal. The addressing scheme remains a challenging issue in the networks like VANET. The dynamic auto-addressing scheme for VANET can ensure that the incoming...
We consider a dynamic vehicle routing problem in wireless networks where messages arriving randomly in time and space are collected by a mobile receiver (vehicle or a collector). The collector is responsible for receiving these messages via wireless communication by dynamically adjusting its position in the network. Our goal is to utilize a combination of wireless transmission and controlled mobility...
Technology advances in both computations and wireless communications have made it economically feasible for manufacturers to collect data from all the cars in order to monitor their operations and detect any potential problems. However to make this a reality requires a new architecture that can effectively handle vehicle mobility, intermittent connectivity, and data security, as well as scale to large...
A basic framework for wireless based mobile distributed environments is given by the wireless CORBA specification. It provides a generic solution hiding the underlying network level details from applications. However, in Blue tooth networks, it exhibits some problems when dealing with multi-user environments, like power consumption limitations of mobile devices or Blue tooth role assignment. This...
Privacy preserving in location-based service (LBS) has been an important issue in Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). Traditional k-anonymity algorithm dealing with location privacy protecting problem does not consider vehicle's mobility and inner collaborator. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm which uses dynamic and mobile aware anonymous peer selecting algorithm to improve the anonymity and...
This paper proposes a novel, nicknamed the "Pinpoint", method for an efficient and robust traffic estimation system using mobile phones as traffic probes. In this approach, the real-time traffic data is collected and sent to the server at the right time by the right players. Only the utilized data is reported to the server by the travelling vehicles. The mobile phones from walkers are prevented...
With the increasing vehicle use on the road, the collection, processing and transmission of data flow within and outside these vehicles are increasingly complex. These data is often important and sometime critical for drivers and passengers, particularly for remote monitoring and control applications. There are various forms of vehicle data and hence various types of networking used in different vehicle...
The wireless ubiquitous network and various communication services are expected to be realized. The wireless ubiquitous network is defined as the converged network to integrate the mobile network with the fixed IP based network. First, the concept of wireless ubiquitous network architecture is shown which is based on IMS standardized by 3GPP. Next, Parlay is described as the solution of Open API approach...
Aiding the efficient collaboration and coordination of rescue teams is a difficult task especially in a mountainous region. Challenges emerge from quickly alerting and debriefing rescuers, to deploying them effectively, and also coordinating and monitoring them in the rural search domain. Knowing the exact location of the rescuers and vehicles involved in a mountain search and rescue mission is a...
