Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that decimates memory and brain functions. It is the most common cause of Dementia. This changes the state of the brain from increasing forgetfulness or memory lapses, mixed-up, that can worsen over time and leads to obliteration of recent activities and memory. In the event that it worsens the person affected by this disease might lose all his memory, ability...
Vehicle accidents are one of the most leading causes of fatality. The time between an accident occurrence and the emergency medical personnel are dispatched to the location of accident is the critical factor in the survival rate after an accident. By minimizing the gap time, mortality rate can be reduced. One approach to reduce the delay time is to use the Real Time Wireless Accident Tracker Using...
It is common for real-world applications to analyze big graphs using distributed graph processing systems. Popular in-memory systems require an enormous amount of resources to handle big graphs. While several out-of-core approaches have been proposed for processing big graphs on disk, the high disk I/O overhead could significantly reduce performance. In this paper, we propose GraphH to enable high-performance...
This paper proposes a Smart Parking System (SPS) based on Internet of Thing (IoT) and Wireless Sensors Network (WSN). It is assumed that Global Positioning System (GPS) and wireless communication system is placed in the vehicle. GPS gets the position of vehicle and wireless communication send it to server. A smartphone uses for user to remotely view the parking, status of spots and book a slot manually...
In today's world usage of location based services on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs and laptops has become progressively popular. Even though location based services are proved to be very useful and convenient, they may cause risk to the users' location privacy, because for the retrieval of useful information based on user's location, user has to send his/her present location and the...
The ongoing trends in technology enable communication between devices through wired or wireless medium. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) are such trends in technology which make the networked devices to communicate and act involving no human intervention. The Long Range (LoRa) is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) wireless technology which allows the networked devices to...
The school shuttle system commonly uses the vehicle to facilitate students to go and go home from school. However, there needs to be a development in terms of monitoring the students. In this paper explains the development of school shuttle system with IoT concept to apply Smart School application. The system will be designed uses a reader that will identify the identity card of students using Bluetooth...
In this paper a system for increasing children's safety is proposed. The focus is on the daily route from home to school and vice versa, assuming the use of school buses. IoT paradigm is exploited together with different localization techniques i.e. RFID and GPS, in order to design a solution for parents willing to make certain of their child's following the main steps to school or home, i.e. taking...
At present, we are living in the era where the real time information is the first priority of the people. Most of the people use public transport vehicles to travel in their daily life and the time is wasted while waiting for the public transport vehicles in the absence of correct information. The developed countries are using GPS-based techniques for smart location tracking of the public vehicles...
Mobile devices have been increasing in both number and power. While devices such as smartphones gain capabilities, an increasing number of users rely on them to complete more and more tasks. One of the most significant constraints of mobile devices is the necessary reliance on battery power. This limitation can be circumvented by operating the device while it is charging; however, this approach has...
In this paper, we investigate an effect on group detection based on human proximity depending on RSSI values, measured by BLE signals. To realize the investigation, we present a novel method for detecting groups. In the method, we developed a smartphone application for measurement of RSSI values of BLE, and determine a threshold of RSSI values which selected experimentally by making the propagation...
Vehicle tracking systems which receive the location data from tracking devices fitted in vehicles, visualize the location of vehicles on a web map and generate reports based on the location data. Tracking applications are commonly used for various purposes such as Fleet Management, Asset Tracking, Transit Tracking, Fuel monitoring etc. The GIS views of fleet management applications are limited to...
As the developing of Beidou navigation positioning technology and the wireless Internet, the demand of the mobile phone location service is increasingly urgent. And the location information sharing between each other becomes an important research focus, and also the core of the current location based service (LBS) software. At present, all the related LBS software is based on C/S architecture, developed...
With the increase in the number of cars in big cities, it has become a nightmare for car owners to find available parking spaces. Some studies report that around 25-30% traffic on the roads are cars finding available spaces for parking. While many researches have been conducted to create a smart parking system, most of them only focus on some particular areas and environments without any common standards...
Using the automated vehicle location data combined with other technologies such as automated incident reporting, transit decision makers can now execute a variety of real-time strategies and performance evaluations. In this study, we show that it is possible to develop an easy to use but powerful web-based tool which acquires, stores, processes, and visualizes bus trajectory data. The developed web-based...
Hajj is defined as a yearly Islamic pilgrimage to the holy place, Makkah. It is a religious obligation for Muslims who are financially and physically capable to perform. Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. The gathering of people during Hajj can be considered as the largest yearly gathering in the world. Every year, thousands of Muslims from all over the world will gather at the holy place during...
Navigating unfamiliar places is a common problem pilgrim face during Hajj. There exists few research-based applications that provide support but are less suited for highly crowded situations such as Hajj religious event. Therefore there is need to investigate support systems for use in large crowded events. Towards Developing an Intelligent HAJJ Guide system is a PhD thesis that investigates the issues...
Trajectory privacy-preserving for Location-based Social Networks (LBSNs) has been received much attention to protect the sensitive location information of subscribers from leaking. Existing trajectory privacy-preserving schemes in literature are confronted with three problems: 1) it is limited for privacy-preserving by only considering the location anonymization in practical environment, and the sensitive...
We propose a new approach towards wireless localisation related to scenarios where the device positions are known a priori, however the device IDs are not, and therefore need to be matched using RF methods. We propose a maximum-likelihood based matching algorithm called MLMatch for resolving this problem based on measured RSSI values. Since the search space of node-to-positions permutations grows...
Downlink data rates can vary significantly in cellular networks, with a potentially non-negligible effect on the user experience. Content providers address this problem by using different representations (e.g., picture resolution, video resolution and rate) of the same content and switch among these based on measurements collected during the connection. If it were possible to know the achievable data...
