GPS traces can track actual time and coordinates of regular vehicles going their own business, and it is easy to scale to the entire area with an accuracy of 6 to 10 meters in normal condition. As a result, extracting road map from GPS traces could be an alternative way to traditional way of road map generation. The basic idea of this paper is to describe a process which incrementally improves ...

objectives: limited studies have demonstrated that the theory of  planned behavior (tpb) may be able to help in explaining the variation in physicians’ behavior. we selected the management of asthma as the tracer topic because asthma had nationally known clinical guidelines, and the main medicinal therapies used for asthma had limited applications for the treatment of  other diseases, and hence...

Introduction: Leadership and management are two expected featuresand competencies for general practitioners (GPs). The purpose of thisstudy was leadership and management curriculum planning for GPswhich was performed based on Kern’s curriculum planning cycle.Methods: This study was conducted in 2011-2012 in Iran using anexplanatory mixed-methods approach. It was conducted throughan initial qual...

The breakthrough of GPS-equipped smartphones has enabled the collection of track data from human mobility on massive scales that can be used in route recommendation, urban planning and traffic management. In this work we present a fast map server that can generate and visualize heat maps of popular routes online from massive sports track data based on client preferences, e.g., running routes la...

The objective of this work is the realization of a map spatialising proposals of management and planning of lands, with a view to their rational management within the framework of a sustainable development. It was based on a diagnosis of the natural environment that allowed the analysis and identification of constraints to the development of the watershed of Ouergha (North of MOROCCO). The meth...

The use of wireless sensor networks for bushfire monitoring can help to map and locate fires rapidly and accurately. A Management Centre could use such information in order to deploy fire-fighters, tankers and aircraft to the best locations to protect people and communities from bushfire hazards. This paper describes an application of the GPS/INS technology to support a mobile mapping system wh...

Modern mapping technologies used for coastal studies such as LIDAR and RTK−GPS produce massive amounts of data characterized by oversampling and noise. The physical phenomena and landscape changes examined are often subtle and besides statistical accuracy, adequate representation of surface geometry is crucial for correct interpretation of measured data. We have explored the suitability of the ...

nowadays, combination of gps heights with orthometric heights, derived from precise leveling, is broadly used to obtain point-wise solutions of the geoid, which is called “gps/leveling geoid”. the “gps/leveling geoid” is commonly used to constrain the gravimetric geoid solutions in a least squares surface fitting process. in this paper, unlike the usual application, the “gps/leveling geoid” is ...
