Geographic Information System; Route Tracking System Using Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)

Nowadays the mobile mapping which incorporation with handheld PDA devices for field data collection is rapidly expanding it wings of Geographic Information System (GIS). While the wireless technology is increasing through time, the usage of mobile GIS has become a very useful tool in any organizations and companies. The introduction of mobile technology actually has resulted in the fundamental paradigm which shifts into the integration of a centralized GIS database engine and other web presentation formats with the mobile data collection units. For mobile mapping, the lightweight GIS application ArcPad and small portable computers such as for example; the Compaq PocketPC are a viable option for field GIS. ESRI® ArcPad™ software is a mobile mapping and geographic information system (GIS) technology. Mobile computing is creating fundamental changes in the way we utilize geography with the ability to bring your work with you and interact directly with the world around you. Mobile GIS comprises the integration of four technologies: GIS, lightweight hardware, the global positioning system (GPS), and wireless communication. Here it emphasis the research on the GIS, more on focusing on the GIS in the mobile environment. It presents the idea of applying GIS concept in tracking route where mobile GIS will combine up with GPS as a tracking movement coordinate tool. The Sashimi Model is used as a guidance to monitor the project progress. The methodology is suitable as it stresses on both side which is the requirement side and the implementation side. A simulation of route tracking system would be presented as the findings of the while research. Further more the simulation present the idea of the real-time tracking the route using data output from the GPS receiver

Pemantau Lokasi Benda Bergerak Berbasis Web dengan Menggunakan Teknologi GPS dan 3G

This research aims to develop a system to monitor moving objects via web. The moving objects could be owned by individuals or company and can be used and managed independently. The system consists of three subsystems namely Mobile Geographical Location Sender (MGLS), Main Geographical Location Information Control (MGLIC), and Geographical Location Information User (GLIU). MGLS functions as geographical sensor. It retrieves GPS data and sends periodically to MGLIC as the main controller via 3G service. MGLIC is the receiving server and designed as web server as well. The web server is the host of a control application that processes GPS data that was sent by MGLS. The data is stored in a database and is centrally displayed. The processed information can also be used by GLIU, as another user that needs the information. Experimental test shows that the system can function according to the design

Anti - theft vehicle security system with preventive action

Nowadays rate of vehicle theft is very high all through the world and the situation are even worse in developing country. Therefore, protection of vehicles with an intelligent, reliable, effective and economical system is very important. The existing technologies for vehicle security have a number of limitations including high false alarm rate, easy deactivation and high cost. In this research an Anti-Theft Vehicle Security System (ATV2S) has been design and implemented utilizing sensor-network system which employ Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for mobile communication (GSM) technology to track the vehicle. The cutting edge technology of ATV2S is capable to protect, monitor and track the vehicle even within a minute

MobGeoSen: facilitating personal geosensor data collection and visualization using mobile phones

Mobile sensing and mapping applications are becoming more prevalent because sensing hardware is becoming more portable and more affordable. However, most of the hardware uses small numbers of fixed sensors that report and share multiple sets of environmental data which raises privacy concerns. Instead, these systems can be decentralized and managed by individuals in their public and private spaces. This paper describes a robust system called MobGeoSens which enables individuals to monitor their local environment (e.g. pollution and temperature) and their private spaces (e.g. activities and health) by using mobile phones in their day to day life

NoiseSPY: a real-time mobile phone platform for urban noise monitoring and mapping

In this paper we present the design, implementation, evaluation, and user experiences of the NoiseSpy application, our sound sensing system that turns the mobile phone into a low-cost data logger for monitoring environmental noise. It allows users to explore a city area while collaboratively visualizing noise levels in real-time. The software combines the sound levels with GPS data in order to generate a map of sound levels that were encountered during a journey. We report early findings from the trials which have been carried out by cycling couriers who were given Nokia mobile phones equipped with the NoiseSpy software to collect noise data around Cambridge city. Indications are that, not only is the functionality of this personal environmental sensing tool engaging for users, but aspects such as personalization of data, contextual information, and reflection upon both the data and its collection, are important factors in obtaining and retaining their interest
