Abstract:

The convergence of transport, communication, computing and positioning technologies has enabled a smart car revolution. As a result, pricing of roads based on telematics technologies has gained significant attention. While there are promised benefits, systematic disclosure of precise location has the ability to impinge on privacy of a special kind, known as location privacy. The aim of this thesis is to provide technical designs that enhance the location privacy of motorists without compromising the benefits of accurate pricing. However, this research looks beyond a solely technology-based solution, For example, the ethical implications of the use of GPS data in pricing models have not been fully understood. Likewise. minimal research exists to evaluate the technical vulnerabilities that could be exploited to avoid criminal or financial penalties. To design a privacy-aware system, it is important to understand the needs of the stakeholders, most importantly the motorists. Knowledge about the anticipated privacy preferences of motorists is important in order to make reasonable predictions about their future willingness to adopt these systems. There is limited research so far Otl user perceptions regarding specific payment options in the uptake of privacy-aware systems. This thesis provides a critical privacy assessment of two mobility pricing systems, namely electronic tolls and mobility-priced insurance. As a result of this assessment. policy recommendations arc developed which could support a common approach in facilitating privacy-aware mobility-pricing strategies. This thesis also evaluates the existing and potential inferential threats and vulnerabilities to develop security and privacy recommendations for privacy-aware pricing designs for tolls and insurance. Utilising these policy recommendations and analysing user-perception with regards to the feasibility of sustaining privacy and willingness to pay for privacy, two privacy-aware mobility pricing designs have been presented which bridge the entire array of privacy interests and bring them together into a unified approach capable of sustaining legal protection as well as satisfying privacy requirements of motorists. It is maintained that it is only by social and technical analysis working in tandem that critical privacy issues in relation to location can be addressed.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with a specific area of telematics systems - intelligent transport systems for private vehicles. The main objective is to compare telematics services in the insurance industry in the Czech Republic and in selected foreign countries (UK, USA, Germany and Russia) and propose an extension of these services, which could be implemented in a particular society dedicated to the insurance industry. Proposal to extend the product service from the insurance telematics is drawn through two project plans. The main goal is accomplished through several other sub-objectives, in identifying the theoretical concepts related to these issues and overall definition of telematics for analysis of telematic services. Another sub-goal is to monitor the Czech market providers of navigation systems and vehicle monitoring, comparison and evaluation of the products aimed at this issue. Contribution of the work is mainly mapping market, what products and services are offered. The solution also helps to compare the chosen methodology through the evaluation criteria. Evaluation of this situation will be reflected as a recommendation for a specific provider from the insurance industry. Analysis of products and services is also beneficial for the customer, provides an overview of the products and their evaluation, which basically points out what is appropriate to focus on making these products.

Gundlegård, David. "Automotive Telematics Services based on Cell Broadcast." Thesis, Linköping University, Department of Science and Technology, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-2003.

Full text

Abstract:

Cell Broadcast is a relatively old technique within the GSM-network which makes it possible to broadcast text messages to one or more cells in the network. As efforts in Sweden have been made to develop both traffic safety and information technology, the automotive telematics market is predicted to grow rapidly in the near future. The characteristics of Cell Broadcast make it especially suitable for automotive telematics services. The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate possible automotive telematics services based on Cell Broadcast and how these services can affect traffic safety.

The most important characteristics for Cell Broadcast in the automotive telematics market are close connection to the GSM/UMTS network, location-based information and information of push character. These characteristics allows the mobile operator to offer a number of automotive telematics services based on Cell Broadcast, some of them as service provider and some of them in joint ventures with car and mobile terminal manufacturers.

Abstract:

The fields of navigation and motion inference have rapidly been transformed by advances in computing, connectivity, and sensor design. As a result, unprecedented amounts of data are today being collected by cheap and small navigation sensors residing in our surroundings. Often, these sensors will be embedded into personal mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. To transform the collected data into valuable information, one must typically formulate and solve a statistical inference problem. This thesis is concerned with inference problems that arise when trying to use smartphone sensors to extract information on driving behavior and traffic conditions. One of the fundamental differences between smartphone-based driver behavior profiling and traditional analysis based on vehicle-fixed sensors is that the former is based on measurements from sensors that are mobile with respect to the vehicle. Thus, the utility of data from smartphone-embedded sensors is diminished by not knowing the relative orientation and position of the smartphone and the vehicle. The problem of estimating the relative smartphone-to-vehicle orientation is solved by extending the state-space model of a global navigation satellite system-aided inertial navigation system. Specifically, the state vector is augmented to include the relative orientation, and the measurement vector is augmented with pseudo observations describing well-known characteristics of car dynamics. To estimate the relative positions of multiple smartphones, we exploit the kinematic relation between the accelerometer measurements from different smartphones. The characteristics of the estimation problem are examined using the Cramér-Rao bound, and the positioning method is evaluated in a field study using concurrent measurements from seven smartphones. The characteristics of smartphone data vary with the smartphone's placement in the vehicle. To investigate this, a large set of vehicle trip segments are clustered based on measurements from smartphone-embedded sensors and vehicle-fixed accelerometers. The clusters are interpreted as representing the smartphone being rigidly mounted on a cradle, placed on the passenger seat, held by hand, etc. Finally, the problem of fusing speed measurements from the on-board diagnostics system and a global navigation satellite system receiver is considered. Estimators of the vehicle’s speed and the scale factor of the wheel speed sensors are derived under the assumptions of synchronous and asynchronous samples.

Abstract:

Educational change can be defined as a systematic, sustained effort at change in learning conditions and other related internal conditions in one or more schools, with the ultimate aim of accomplishing goals more effectively (Miles 1987). One project designed to bring about educational change was the Country Areas Program National Element (NATCAP) distance education by telematics project, funded by the Commonwealth Department of Employment, Education and Training. It was designed to increase curriculum options to students in schools in the western region of New South Wales. All curriculum was delivered through the telematic delivery. This project formed the basis of the research for this thesis. The aim of the study was to examine the roles of change agents and determine who enacted the roles through the process of implementing the NATCAP distance education by telematics project in western New South Wales. Telematics refers to the transmission of signals usually generated in a computer circuit board over distance. It involves using computers, facsimile machines, modems and telephones. Through audio visual links students in western New South Wales can engage in lessons delivered by teachers located in the Australian Capital Territory. This was achieved through a pilot distance education via telematics project conducted in 1991 which was expanded in 1992-1995 to include students in six rural schools. The students were located in both Catholic and Government schools in four rural town in New South Wales. The NATCAP distance education project was administered by the Catholic Education Office, Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn and a project manager was appointed to facilitate the implementation of the new project. The question of who enacted the roles of change agents through the process of implementing the distance education project in 1992-1995 became the focus of the study. Change is a process that involves the phases of initiation, implementation and adoption according to Fullan (1991b). There are a number of factors that affect implementation including teachers, principals and outside agencies (Fullan 1991b). The initiative of change does not occur, however without an advocate or change agents. Havelock (1973) has identified four roles of a change agent which are described as the catalyst, the solution giver, the process helper and the resource link. Though the examination of the literature the question of who enacted the roles of the change agents through the process of implementing the NATCAP distance education project was refined and clarified. The qualitative research method, with the researcher as an active participant in the process, was the approach which enabled the research question of this thesis to be examined. The researcher was the project manager for the NATCAP distance education project and was placed in a central position to explore the question of who enacted the roles of the change agents through the process of implementing distance education by telematics. Three research instruments, two questionnaires and a semi-structured interview, were used to gather data based on the perceptions of the six participating school principals. This data ensured that the information gathered by the researcher as an active participant was reliable and valid. The results of the first questionnaire, which examined the role of the project manager as a change agent, indicated that the manager was a catalyst, facilitating the introduction of the new method of teaching and learning. The results also indicated that the roles of the solution giver and the resource link were also enacted by the project manager according to the majority of principals who responded to the questionnaire. The role of the process helper, involved in problem-solving, monitoring and reviewing, was also a part of the project manager's role as a change agent according to all the respondents. The results of the second questionnaire which examined the three phases of implementing change indicated that all six schools involved in the NATCAP distance education project were involved in the initiation stage of implementation. This was achieved by trialing the telematic mode for teaching and learning in each school. All six schools moved into the second stage. This developed into the implementation of Indonesian language and culture lessons, Art/Design and Remedial and Extension Mathematics classes. For two schools the implementation stage included the introduction of the Year 11 and 12 curriculum. The project progressed into the third stage, continuation, for five out of the six schools. One school did not move from the implementation to the continuation stage. As a result of the data collected through the examination of the factors that affect implementation it was stated that the principals enacted a role of resource providers and in some cases on the spot support for teachers. In the schools administered by the New South Wales Department of School Education the cluster director was also a resource provider. In some schools the principal was also a "teacher" actively involved in the implementation of the NATCAP distance education project. The project manager, cluster director (where applicable), principal, assistant principals and teachers were listed as being involved in the identification of needs. Need was identified as the most important factor which affected the change. As a result of the data collected and the interpretations made relating to the findings of this research a number of conclusions were drawn. Educational change goes through a process involving three phases from the initial introduction of the innovation to the initial use and then full implementation as part of the school practice. Change involves a change agency, not one agent of change but a team of change agents or a change agency. The change agency includes the project manager, the principal, assistant principal, teachers and cluster directors (where applicable). The agency enacts the roles of catalyst, solution giver, resource link and process helper. Implementation requires an agent of change from within the school and an agent of change from without of the school working together as part of the change agency. This can be seen by examining the factors affecting implementation. Need, practicality, clarity, complexity and quality all affect implementation of an innovation and all required an agent of change from without and agent of change from within the school to identify each factor and address it. The key personnel affecting implementation are the project manager and cluster directors (where applicable) from the external level and the principal and the teachers from the local level. These key personnel are factors which affect implementation and belong to the change agency. The leadership role of the principal impacts on the degree of implementation of the initiative. Teacher involvement through observation, exchanging ideas, team-teaching and collegiality is required to bring about full implementation of the change. Clustering schools to form learning networks where schools share ideas, knowledge and resources enhances the possibility of initiatives becoming implemented. Schools in the cluster should not only include those in the same education system, schools should go outside their system for new ideas. In the NATCAP distance education by telematics project there were four schools administrated by the NSW Department of School Education and two schools administered by the Catholic Education Office, Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn who formed a NATCAP cluster. Together these schools implemented the new method of teaching and learning called telematics. They brought about change in the learning conditions and extended the curriculum.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 65-66).
A major element of mobile multimedia, telematics is the convergence of telecommunication and information technology which provides various services to and from the vehicle or mobile communication devices. Telematics is also a new technology which accelerates the rate of technological evolution in the automotive electronics industry. Similar to the United States and Europe, Japan is one of the nations which have advanced automotive technologies. Japanese telematics, however, doesn't have a long history. On the other hand, Japan has unique business circumstances such as highly developed mobile communication technology and contents business. The purpose of this study is to unlock the industrial structure and dynamics of the telematics industry in Japan. In addition, providing indications for building business strategies for telematics players such as automakers, auto suppliers and other industries is another objective. According to the "clockspeed" analysis, telematics clockspeed is much faster than that of automobiles. This situation creates a boundary called clockspeed collision between these two industries. Clockspeed collision will increase market pressure on automakers to provide updated electronic features and to reduce exposure of obsolescence. Clockspeed collision will also significantly affect the business strategies that each player involved in the telematics industry must consider. Value chain analysis illustrates that the telematics industry has a horizontally disintegrated structure. Also the fact that automakers have advantages in the industry is presented. In such situation, the "business double helix" explains that automakers' advantages will be unstable in the future. Namely, the supplier sector in the industry will have significant
(cont.) power. My research shows that telematics industry has already started to move toward a much more vertically integrated structure. These analyses lead to conclusions that each player in the telematics industry must recognize a principle of temporary advantage and that the automotive industry is moving from automobile production to maximizing customer's LTV (Life Time Value).

Abstract:

The vehicle is a challenging environment in which to interact with computing devices. Therefore, the vehicle environment offers computing a unique challenge, in that a method for safe and secure mobile device integration is required in order to provide a suitable communications channel for interaction with devices without distracting from the primary driving task. Moreover, a security architecture is required for mobile device integration in the vehicle paradigm. This architecture must be scalable, efficient and most importantly built on trusted and mathematically sound algorithms. This thesis examines the relevant literature in the field of automotive telematics, including the notion of mobile device integration. Moreover, issues in the vehicle paradigm are also discussed which include driver distraction, and the legal ramifications of in-vehicle mobile phone use. From a system design view point this thesis will then provide an overview of the design requirements for telematics products, and outline possible security protocols which could be implemented on constrained mobile devices. The ultimate aim of this thesis is to develop a security architecture for mobile device integration for automotive telematics based on the simple network management protocol (SNMPv3) user security model.

Abstract:

Fordonsdiagnostik blir mer och mer sofistikerad i takt med att antaletoch komplexiteten hos inbyggda fordonsdatorer växer. Datorstödd diagnos med hjälp av en PC som kör en diagnosapplikation är en nyckelfaktor inom reparation och underhåll. Allt eftersom att utvecklingen inom web-baserade tjänster har vuxit under senare år har även fordonstillverkare börjat undersöka vilka web-baserade tjänster som kan byggas in i deras fordon. Ett intresseområde är fjärrdiagnostik, dvs diagnos-kommunikation över internet. Scania har nyligen lanserat en web-baserad tjänst för fordonsdiagnos, där användaren kan beställa en utläsning av felkoder på ett fordon av nyare modell, och sedan få resultatet presenterat i en webläsare. Dock så erbjuder den nuvarande tjänsten endast begränsad funktionalitet jämfört med vad som är möjligt med diagnosapplikationen som används då ett fordon tas in till en verkstad. Den här rapporten presenterar en arkitektur som gör det möjligt att utföra samma typer av operationer över trådlöst WAN som idag endast görs med diagnosverktyget anslutet till fordonet via usb-kabel eller lokal wifi. En stor del av detta arbete har inneburit att utveckla en plattform som prototyp för att demonstrera systemet.
Vehicle diagnostics is getting more and more sophisticated as the number and complexity of on-board computers grow. The use of computer aided diagnostics has become an integral part of repair and maintenance, but it is still almost exclusively used with the PC physically connected to the vehicle or at least very close by a few meters. Web based services in ”in-vehicle-infotainment” 1 (IVI) has grown rapidlyover the last couple of years and as vehicle diagnostics belongs to IVI, it is natural for it to strive towards the web. This thesis has been carried out with the aim to investigate and demonstrate the possibility of remote diagnostics, meaning vehicle diagnostics over the internet. It has been done with the perspective of real-time user interaction 2. The report describes the diagnostic system as it is today, proposes changes needed for the adaptation towards the internet, discusses performance over mobile networks and guides the reader through the development of a remote diagnostics application run over 3G. This thesis shows that it is possible to run a diagnostic application over the internet without sacrificing functionality and still retaining a good user experience. The difficulties of remote diagnostics has shown not to lie in performance, but in safety, security and managing a large fleet, which belongs to future work to solve. 1 Solutions and applications for automobiles ranging from entertainment to navigation and maintenance, as defined by Accenture [1]. 2 In this sense real-time addresses the users feeling of instant response.

The Telematics Industry faces tremendous challenges for growth. Regardless of the efforts and investment from vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, telematics has not been that profitable industry that many analyst forecasted five years ago; a 40 billion industry by 2003. This paper presents an analysis of the dynamics of the telematics industry and emphasizes on factors affecting the diffusion of telematics innovation. These factors are related to openness of telematics systems and establishment of standards, network externalities effects and attractiveness of complementors, customer's willingness to pay, telematics services pricing, and consumer knowledge of newer technology. Based on an in-depth analysis of the telematics architecture and the technologies converging in the telematics system I suggest a mixed strategy with respect to standards. This strategy favors the growth of this industry. Based on this strategy there are developed some scenarios of how the telematics value network will look like and how the interaction among the players would take place. Finally, a conceptual system dynamic model is presented to illustrate the dynamics of the industry and how the factors influencing the adoption of the telematics all play together to favor or affect the diffusion of the growing telematics industry.

In the thesis, I develop an algorithm to identify the vehicle model from telematics data. By extracting the features from the accelerometer and GPS data, we obtain the classification features, which then goes through a multiclass random forest classifier. We apply this results into problems of driver and vehicle identification. The result shows that, while the algorithm could identify the vehicle models to some extent, the dominating signal comes from driving style, and an approach running purely unsupervised learning is harder to achieve good classification results compared to supervised methods.

Abstract:

Leica Geosystems Technology AB is a Sweden-based company (part of Hexagon Group) that designs and manufactures software and hardware for building surveying and machine control applications. Modern machine control applications are important for today's construction market as they help in improving accuracy, reliability and performance thereby helping construction companies complete the work in time and cutting down on extra costs. One of Leica Geosystems Technology's software products is a web-based solution for fleet management and production control called iCON Telematics. Using iCON Telematics, the users can manage their vehicles in real time and monitor their activity live and offline using Google Maps. iCON Telematics has three main features: Sync, View and Track. Using the Track feature, the users can generate critical reports on demand (via browser or email) or on scheduled basis via email. The current reporting engine was developed in-house some years ago that is difficult to maintain and lacks numerous features that other reporting engine provide with incredible ease. To overcome this problem, it was decided that a standalone reporting service, such as JasperReports Server should be used to replace the existing reporting engine. This will not only isolate the reporting engine from the main application but will also make it easier to maintain and use standard reporting features of JasperReports. The aim of this thesis work was to integrate JasperReports Server in the iCON Telematics application while replacing the in-house legacy reporting service. This task was successfully carried out and delivered. It is currently in use on the production server of iCON Telematics web application and is used by hundreds of users all over the world.

Abstract:

Services are making a huge impact in the business sector especially in the developed countries. As services are customer-centric, there is a need for an enhanced process framework connected to integrated service development. Such a framework should ideally address value propositions meeting specific customer needs in identifying corresponding service offerings. In this context, this thesis aims to explore on how value propositions are defined, developed, and communicated during the introduction of service offerings and to identify the ways to improve the process of value propositions. The work is carried out in the context of a major (Swedish) manufacturing company within a specific product context, namely, the telematics system. The main data collection methods are personal observations, semi-structured interviews, meetings, and company documents. The study seeks to answer three questions: First, what are the value propositions addressed by the current service offerings in telematics system in the context of heavy-duty vehicle equipment? Second, how value propositions are created during the development of these services offerings? Third, how can the service offerings for telematics system be improved through the process of value proposition? The study found that two types of value propositions namely customer value proposition and stakeholder value proposition are addressed by the service offerings in telematics system. Additionally, it is found that value propositions are created in relation to service offerings. Finally, the thesis proposes a six-step conceptual framework to create better value propositions during the development of service offerings. The presented framework is applied to the current value proposition process at the case company and improvement suggestions are proposed, which can impact the service offerings in the near future. The thesis has contributions to enhance or create new service offerings through addressing the value propositions and applying them. The results are beneficial for managers and developers who work in developing the future state scenarios or business models.

Abstract:

Telematics, or audiographic conferencing, enables synchronous communication via telecommunications. A telephone link and computer communications allow students in distributed classrooms to participate in an extended, or virtual classroom. Telematics is widely used as an instructional medium for the delivery of curricula to students in rural and remote parts of Western Australia. Previous studies of learning meditated by this technology have shown limitations on the forms of interactivity, tasks and learner engagement. Students typically have been found to assume a passive role, often listening to a distant and invisible teacher, but not engaging in cognitively demanding tasks. The tendency for teachers to display didactic forms of teaching has been noted in a number of studies.

Abstract:

Ottimizzare i processi ed aumentare la produttività, rinnovando le proprie politiche e logiche aziendali, è il modo più adatto a garantirsi un proficuo prosieguo dell'attività d'impresa. I sistemi ICT, Information and Communication Tecnology, possono riorganizzare e risolvere molti dei problemi di Supply chain management. La gestione della catena di distribuzione presenta infatti incognite significative. Attraverso i sistemi informativi e informatici, gli ERP e la telematica, le imprese sono in grado di ottimizzare ed efficientare processi di Supply chain altrimenti troppo complessi. La distribuzione fisica poi, parte finale della Supply chain, risulta determinante nel complesso dell'offerta aziendale di servizi al cliente. Le problematiche logistiche e dei mezzi di trasporto sono caratterizzate forti inefficienze. Implementando soluzioni per il Fleet management, come quella prodotta da Tom Tom Telematics, si possono realizzare una più efficace ed efficiente gestione della flotta aziendale di veicoli (autocarri, autovetture, autobus). I trasporti, siano essi servizi "core" o di solo supporto all'attività d'impresa, presentano costi ed opportunità da gestire in ottica innovativa. Servendosi di mezzi di comunicazione ed organizzazione nuovi, interfacciati con i sistemi informativi ERP che le aziende "al passo coi tempi" già hanno sviluppato e fatto propri, le possibilità sono molteplici. L'elaborato fornisce una definizione dei sistemi informativi, ERP e telematici, in unione ad una analisi del Supply chain management con focus sulla distribuzione fisica. Si propone poi una descrizione della gestione dei veicoli aziendali e dei relativi sistemi di Fleet management, delineando le possibilità che offrono in relazione ai principi economici delle aziende private e pubbliche. Si garantiranno infine, casi aziendali significativi di implementazione del sistema e degli strumenti Tom Tom Telematics per le attività di gestione della flotta, in grado di descrivere come si siano trasformati in punti di forza i fattori problematici che caratterizzavano la vecchia offerta logistica.

Abstract:

Many companies within the transport and logistics sector face problems with integrating telematics and information systems within their organizations. The problem is often the lack of standardization between different solution providers. Cybercom Telematics Proxy Platform (TPP) aims to bridge these different systems together by acting as a message broker. In the thesis the MSI Group XML format was chosen as the internal format of TPP. As a technical platform Microsoft BizTalk Server was chosen instead of developing a C# application from scratch. A demo solution with two fictive external systems was developed and proved TPP possible to work as a broker between a mobile and a stationary system.

Abstract:

Pricing models for car insurance traditionally use variables related to the policyholder and the insured vehicle (e.g. car brand and driver age) to determine the premium. This can lead to situations where policyholders belonging to a group that is seen as carrying a higher risk for accidents wrongfully get a higher premium, even if the higher risk might not necessarily apply on a per- individual basis. Telematics data offers an opportunity to look at driving behavior during individual trips, enabling a pricing model that can be customized to each policyholder. While these additional variables can be used in a generalized linear model (GLM) similar to the traditional pricing models, machine learning methods can possibly unravel non-linear connections between the variables. Using telematics data, we build a gradient boosting model (GBM) and a neural network (NN) to predict the claim frequency of policyholders on a monthly basis. We find that both GBMs and NNs offer predictive power that can be generalized to data that has not been used in the training of the models. The results of the study also show that telematics data play a considerable role in the model predictions, and that the frequency and distance of trips are important factors in determining the risk using these models.
Prissättningsmodeller för bilförsäkringar använder traditionellt variabler relaterade till försäkringstagaren och det försäkrade fordonet (t.ex. bilmärke och förarålder) för att bestämma försäkringspremien. Detta kan leda till situationer där försäkringstagare som tillhör en grupp som anses bära på en högre risk för olyckor får en felaktigt hög premie, även om den högre risken inte nödvändigtvis gäller på en individbasis. Telematikdata erbjuder en möjlighet att titta på körbeteende under individuella resor, vilket möjliggör en prissättningsmodell som kan anpassas till varje enskild försäkringstagare. Ä ven om dessa variabler kan användas i en linjär modell liknande de traditionella prissättningsmodellerna kan användandet av maskininlärningsmetoder möjligen avslöja icke-linjära samband mellan variablerna. Med hjälp av telematikdata bygger vi en modell baserad på gradient boosting (GBM) och ett neuralt nätverk (NN) för att förutsäga frekvensen av olyckor för försäkringstagare på månadsbasis. Vi kommer fram till att båda modeller har en prediktiv förmåga som går att generalisera till data som inte har använts vid träningen av modellerna. Resultaten av studien visar även att telematikdata spelar en betydande roll i modellernas prediktioner, samt att frekvensen och sträckan av resor är viktiga faktorer vid bedömningen av risken med hjälp av dessa modeller.

Abstract:

The Road Telematics Communicator (RTC) as it is called in Scania. It is the device responsible to keep the vehicle connected and send the vehicle data to the off-board system. It uses data from different sources such as GNSS signals, CAN signal, and wireless Telecom signals. Connected vehicles provide real-time information on positioning, fuel consumption, and vehicle diagnostics. There are acceptance and regression test suites that verify the functionality of RTC. Third-party components such as the GNSS module are not a part of the tests due to technical limitations. Hence RTC lacks automated tests for important features. Due to the lack of complete verification in automated test suites, time-consuming tests must be performed on the road. And trouble reports from the field are difficult to analyze. This thesis provides testing the location accuracy of the GNSS module in vehicles used for telematics applications in the automotive industry, by using a GPS vector signal generator in a controlled lab environment. GNSS consists of GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BEIDOU. We are using GPS in this research. The GPS receiver is put under test in a controlled lab environment for testing the Time to First Fix, Location accuracy of GPS receiver, and analyzing the performance with the given inputs. Test cases were created similar to field tests on the signal generator. At this stage, an experiment is performed on the GPS receiver which is connected to the signal generator via RF connector and to a computer via LAN. An input data is sent to the signal generator in the form of SCPI commands. The signal generator processes these commands and generates a signal accordingly. This generated signal is fed to the receiver. With the help of a signal generator, we can generate fields like inputs and verify the behavior of the GPS module. By verifying the behavior of the module, we can develop test cases that show the functionality of the receiver.

Abstract:

The key aim of this research is to contribute to the development of a robust and reliable navigation system in order to support the positioning requirements of advanced transport telematics (ATT) services. This is achieved through the development of high integrity map matching algorithms. In the last two decades, satellite navigation technology, especially the Global Positioning System (GPS), has established itself as a major positioning technology for land vehicle navigation. Deduced Reckoning (DR) sensors, which consist of an odometer and a gyroscope, are commonly used to bridge any gaps in GPS positioning. However, DR sensor positioning errors can grow rapidly if not controlled by another sensor or system such as GPS. Digital road maps are used for spatial reference of the vehicle location via a process known as map matching. Map matching algorithms use inputs generated from positioning technologies and supplement this with data from a high resolution digital road network map to provide an enhanced positioning output. Existing map matching algorithms have weaknesses which decrease their capability to support many ATT services. Three high integrity map matching algorithms are developed in this research. They are the improved topological, probabilistic, and fuzzy logic map matching algorithms. These algorithms are successfully implemented, tested and validated using real field test data. A reference (truth) vehicle trajectory, as determined by high accuracy GPS carrier phase positioning, is used to validate the algorithms. The integrity (level of confidence) of the algorithms is analysed by taking into account the uncertainty associated with the map-matched location and the error sources associated with the navigation system and the digital map. The effects of navigation systems and digital map quality on the performance of map matching algorithms are also investigated for suburban and urban road networks. The results suggest that all three map matching algorithms developed in the course of this research have the potential to support the navigation function of a wide range of ATT services. However, of the three, the fuzzy logic map matching algorithm offers the highest performance, both in terms of link identification and location determination.

Abstract:

Thesis (DPhil (Informatics))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019
Road safety is one of the major concerns in today’s world. Driving an overloaded vehicle causes various ill-effects to road safety. Various kinds of Weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems are used to control and reduce the impacts of overloaded driving. Existing WIM systems are either expensive or slower and influenced by various factors. Advancement in network connectivity and sensor devices led to the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), a subfield of the growing Internet of Things (IoT). IoV is powered by Vehicular Telematics (VT), also known as flying car data. VT data is used by the transport industries for many reasons such as fleet management, insurance (pay as you drive), driving behaviour detection, and road anomaly detection. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) uses both IoV and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to build an automated Artificially Intelligent (AI) transportation system. According to the Newtonians’ physics and literature, under certain conditions, the driving force needed by a vehicle to obtain a particular acceleration is influenced by the total weight of the vehicle. That implies that if driving force and other influencing parameters are known, we could infer the weight of a vehicle. VT data can be used to obtain many features, including the driving force. This dissertation discusses the effort taken to validate the idea of inferring the weight of a vehicle using VT and ML. This research involved designing and testing the prototype artefact. The Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was used in this research. The C-K design theory was used in this DSR. The application of C-K theory in DSR has shown the different dimension for approaching applied research. A pragmatist approach was used in the design and development of this research. According to the C-K design theory, with all the knowledge, K0, from literature and the laws of physics, we formed an initial concept C0: “A new WIM solution using VT and ML”, with the propositions p1: “faster”, p2: “economical/cheaper”, p3: “Ubiquitous”. The concept was tested by designing and developing the prototype (artefact). A backend to process VT data using ML was developed as a by-product of this research. We have tested several ML algorithms during the development stage, and an Artificial neural network (ANN) architecture of three hidden layers with 30 nodes in each layer has shown astounding performance with Accuracy = 0.945, R-Squared = 0.97, Adjusted R-Squared = 0.97, Mean Squared Error = 34.68, Residual Standard Error = 6.03. The ANN outperformed all other tested ML algorithms on the collected VT dataset. We can infer the weight using the smaller dataset obtained from the context of a small car. Results from small cars show the supports for the concept theory.

Abstract:

This thesis is about the design of a Telematics for Totally Transparent Transports System

(T4 System). T4 System combines Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology with

ordinary fleet management systems to monitor and track cargo on a global scale. This

means that the cargo itself and not the vehicle transporting the cargo will be observed.

This has the advantage that a change in the transportation method can be made without

interrupting the tracking device. T4 System is not only a simple tracking device which only

monitors the transportation conditions; it also interacts with the chain of transportation

in case of a faulty situation, to provide the possibility to correct the error.

To keep the transportation process as transparent as possible T4 System uses a two way

communication and control strategy which allows, e.g. the customer, to check and/or

update the transport conditions or measurement parameters, respectively, in run-time,

when the situation demands it.

Abstract:

Wireless networks provide communications to fixed, portable and mobile users and offer substantial flexibility to both end-users and service providers. Current cellular/PCS networks do not offer cost effective high data rate services for applications, such as, telematics, traffic surveillance and rescue operations. This research studies the feasibility and behavior of outdoor implementation of low-cost wireless LANs used for high mobility telematics and traffic surveillance. A multi-hop experimental wireless data network is designed and tested for this purpose. Outdoor field measurements show the wireless coverage and throughput patterns for static and mobile users. The results suggest that multi-hop wireless LANs can be used for high mobility applications if some protocols are improved.

Full text

Abstract:

The main advantages and disadvantages of the Telematics environment for talented mathematics students were investigated through a case study. The case study considered the interaction of, and opinions of 11 Year 9 students and the teacher/researcher. Participants were from nine schools in regional Western Australia, and were withdrawn from face-to-face classes to attend mathematics transmissions. Qualitative data were collected through student interviews, an anonymous questionnaire, tape recording of lessons, and teacher field notes. Students all agreed the main disadvantage occurred if timetabling for Telematics transmissions did not align with their local school class times for the same subject. The teacher perceived the main disadvantage was that during lessons, for various reasons, students chose not to contribute, making it difficult to gain responses from students and create productive class discussions. Many students felt intimidated to contribute during class discussions. Allowing time during lessons for social interaction and encouraging students to reply directly to each other's contributions led to many students feeling more at ease to talk during lessons. The researcher perceived the greatest advantage of learning through Telematics was that with the small classes she was able to work more on an individual basis with students and to check that students understood individual concepts. Towards the end of the data collection period, some students were offering comments on other students' work and their thoughts on the material being developed, without prompting. The research concluded that for a particular issue, student responses were often in opposition. Consequently although some students found one aspect of his/her learning environment a distinct advantage, others found this a disadvantage; and for others, the same issue was unimportant. As such, it is not possible to categorise most aspects of the Telematics learning environment as either an advantage or disadvantage. Therefore rather than the teacher concentrating on eliminating or utilising certain aspects of the Telematics environment, the teacher needs to consider what individual students perceive as advantages and disadvantages and cater for those individual needs.

Abstract:

Vehicles with sensors produce large amounts of data. Transmission of data is connectedwith costs. By using data compression, less data has to be transmitted, reducing priceof operation. A number of algorithms are evaluated through tests with GPS and accelerometerdata. Performance is measured based on time usage, compression ratio,and euclidean errors (in the case of lossy compression). No algorithm or combinationof algorithms is shown to outperform the others on all data and all metrics. Threedierent recommendations are made. For lossless data compression focused on speed, acombination of Move-To-Front, Zero-Run-Length-Encoding, and Human coding is recommended.For lossless data compression focusing on compression ratio, a combinationof delta coding, Lempel-Ziv coding, and Human coding is recommended. Finally, fordata that can aord losses and that has a low amount of unique symbols, a model basedapproach is recommended.

Telematics, defined as the vehicle features and services made available through a wireless connection to data or other resources not onboard the vehicle, provides one of the most promising areas of innovation and value creation in the automobile market today. However, up to now the US market has only experienced successful telematics businesses in the quazi-insurance field of Safety and Security. In contrast, Consumer Telematics, defined as the confluence of consumer electronics and vehicle telematics, presents a much more exciting market opportunity. In spite of this, inadequate bandwidth, poor usability, fragmented standards and excessive cost have together created sufficient barriers so as to deter any automakers from entering the market. In this thesis, we argue that the viral growth inherent in Wi-Fi class mobile peer-to-peer (mP2P) telematics presents an opportunity for an automotive OEM with significant marketshare to transcend these barriers, and thus capture significant value from this up-to-now elusive market. To do so, we analyze the proposed business through the filters of technology, value chain, applications and market dynamics in order to craft a comprehensive strategy for entering the market and insuring sustained return through its maturation. The technology analysis both presents the potential benefits and limitations of mP2P as well as likely competitors and substitutes. It suggests that mP2P has a sustainable cost and bandwidth advantage over other architectures. Our examination of the Telematics value chain indicates that the wireless connectivity and IP backhaul segments of the chain are predisposed towards commodization and thus should be outsourced in a manner that retains flexibility to switch carriers and even technologies as the market
(cont.) evolves. By segmenting the most promising applications according to their connectivity demands, we plot out how service offerings should evolve in concert with the quality of wireless connectivity and market adoption. Finally, analyzing the market dynamics indicates the critical mass threshold where customer willingness-to-pay exceeds the cost, and thus the trade-offs between investment and strategy necessary for success. We conclude that this critical mass where viral growth ensues exists at only 3-5% market penetration, a target easily achieved by an Automotive OEM with dominant marketshare such as General Motors. The proposed strategy resulting from this analysis endeavors to ensure sustained return by embracing an evolving business model. While initial value is captured through vehicle differentiation, it then shifts to primarily service revenue. Eventually, if the business is successful in garnering widespread adoption, value would eventually be principally derived through hardware licensing and operating system revenue. In the end, the key to success for the OEM is to set aside its traditional ways of doing business in order to leverage the complementary market forces that drive viral growth. Without this, this business is daunting and risky ...

Abstract:

Transportation has expanded the scope of human mobility, increasing the distances we cover on a

regular basis. The large benefits of transportation have resulted in a huge recent increase in the

number of vehicles. This, however, implies an increased number of traffic accidents that cause

many fatalities and injuries every year. It also leads to problems like increased delay for

commuters, and negative effects on the environment. Not to mention, the money spent in the

wasted fuel, as well as the costs of fixing damaged equipment and property.

To help in mitigating these problems the vehicles and the road infrastructure should be equipped

with intelligent devices that allow them to communicate and collaborate with each other and

exchange safety information concerning accidents, road traffic conditions, and weather conditions

as well as non-safety information. Recently, this topic termed telematics has gathered

considerable interest constituting a lot of work and research all included under the title of

Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).

The thesis work defines general communication requirements of future telematics applications

and investigates various wireless carriers that are important to achieve communication inbetween

vehicles and between vehicles and nearby infrastructure. We analyse several future

applications related to the ITS field and describe their communication requirements. Based on the

communication requirements the applications are grouped into different profiles in order to

determine the most suitable carrier for each profile.

Abstract:

In-car communication systems (ICCS) are becoming more frequently used by drivers. ICCS are used in order to minimise the driving distraction due to using a mobile phone while driving. Several usability studies of ICCS utilising speech user interfaces (SUIs) have identified usability issues that can affect the workload, performance, satisfaction and user experience of the driver. This is due to current speech technologies which can be a source of errors that may frustrate the driver and negatively affect the user experience. The aim of this research was to design a new multimodal interface that will manage the interaction between an ICCS and the driver. Unlike the current ICCS, it should make more voice input available, so as to support tasks (e.g. sending text messages; browsing the phone book, etc), which still require a cognitive workload from the driver. An adaptive multimodal interface was proposed in order to address current ICCS issues. The multimodal interface used both speech and manual input; however only the speech channel is used as output. This was done in order to minimise the visual distraction that graphical user interfaces or haptics devices can cause with current ICCS. The adaptive interface was designed to minimise the cognitive distraction of the driver. The adaptive interface ensures that whenever the distraction level of the driver is high, any information communication is postponed. After the design and the implementation of the first version of the prototype interface, called MIMI, a usability evaluation was conducted in order to identify any possible usability issues. Although voice dialling was found to be problematic, the results were encouraging in terms of performance, workload and user satisfaction. The suggestions received from the participants to improve the system usability were incorporated in the next implementation of MIMI. The adaptive module was then implemented to reduce driver distraction based on the driver‟s current context. The proposed architecture showed encouraging results in terms of usability and safety. The adaptive behaviour of MIMI significantly contributed to the reduction of cognitive distraction, because drivers received less information during difficult driving situations.
