Context-Aware Notification for Mobile Police Officers
نویسندگان
چکیده
To minimize unwanted interruption and information overload during surveillance, mobile police officers need to be supported by a mobile, contextaware notification system. This system adapts message presentation to message priority and context of use. A prototype is designed and evaluated in a simulated surveillance task, requiring users to attend to videos while handling messages on a mobile device. Adaptive notification led to better performance and less intrusive messages than non-adaptive notification, especially in high workload situations. Subjective judgments showed a positive user experience with the adaptive notification system. These empirical findings are used to improve the design of mobile notification support systems for police officers.

Balancing Awareness and Interruption in Mobile Patrol using Context-Aware Notification
In mobile computing, a fundamental problem is maintaining awareness of the environment and of information presented as messages on a mobile device. In mobile police patrol, officers need to pay attention to their direct environment and stay informed of incidents elsewhere. To prevent unwanted interruption, a context-aware notification system adapts the timing and appearance of incident messages...

This paper studies the differences on technology acceptance between two age groups among uniform police forces. The goal was to seek more understanding on the effects of age on technology adaption in the context of mandatory technology use. Data was collected from police officers in field operations. User intentions were measured after subjects had seen a presentation of a pre-prototype of a mo...
متن کاملSupporting Mobile Context-Aware Applications through a Modular Service Infrastructure
This work presents a modular service infrastructure to support context-awareness in nomadic computing. The proposed approach aims to ease the tasks of (i) deploying, (ii) maintaining, and (iii) extending mobile context-aware systems. The infrastructure allows applications to retrieve and share well-known context attributes by means of ontology-based context-provider components. Moreover, the in...
متن کاملPolice officers seat belt use while on duty
Typical seatbelt designs can interfere with police officers operational work by lengthening their response time in threatening situations. Therefore, in certain operational circumstances there is a direct conflict between operational safety (effective response to threat) and driving safety (seatbelt use). To evaluate this potential conflict, 341 police officers from the southeastern US complete...
