PlaceMemo: Using GPS and Mobile Computers to Augment the Roads
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the PlaceMemo prototype, a system developed to support road inspectors in their daily work. The concept is based on an ethnographic study conducted at the Swedish National Road Administration-Production during 2000. PlaceMemo supports the articulation work, allowing road inspectors to save, and share, interpretations of objects in their geographically widespread working area. Once an interpretation has been accomplished, the inspectors will have the possibility to retrieve the information when being in the vicinity of the tagged object. The system is supposed to complement the existing formal reporting tool (ProData), which mainly facilitates the administrative work.

متن کاملPlacememo - Supporting Mobile Articulation In A Vast Working Area Through Position Based Information
The purpose of our research is to evaluate and redesign a position based information system. We report on ethnographic fieldwork about road inspection, i.e. management of large trunk roads. Road inspectors travel to identify defects and disturbances and then handle the problems or delegate the work. The current information system (ProData) allows position-based reporting with the principal purp...
متن کاملA Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System
In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...
متن کاملIssues of Spontaneous Collaboration and Mobility
Spontaneous collaboration occurs abundantly among people on the roads. We account for the outcome of three research projects and the experience of designing the applications: Placememo, Hocman and SoundPryer. They all support various types of spontaneous mobile collaborative road use activities. We emphasize the impact of setting when developing applications intended for this scope. The main is...
