LineKing: Crowdsourced Line Wait-Time Estimation Using Smartphones
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design, implementation and deployment of LineKing (LK), a crowdsourced line wait-time monitoring service. LK consists of a smartphone component (that provides automatic, energy-efficient, and accurate wait-time detection), and a cloud backend (that uses the collected data to provide accurate wait-time estimation). LK is used on a daily basis by hundreds of users to monitor the wait-times of a coffee shop in our university campus. The novel wait-time estimation algorithms deployed at the cloud backend provide mean absolute errors of less than 2-3 minutes.

Teachers’ Limited Wait-Time Practice and Learners’ Participation opportunities in EFL Classroom Interaction
Pairing theory with methodology, this study demonstrates how EFL teachers’ limited wait-time practice structures in and affects the structuring of the unfolding classroom discourse with reference to learners’ participation opportunities. Informed by the tenets of conversation analysis, we have observed, videotaped, and transcribed line-by-line 10 EFL teachers’ naturally-occurring classroom inte...
متن کاملLine of Sight (LOS) rate estimation in strap down seekers using discrete-time extended state observer.
The line of sight (LOS) rate is a parameter that is needed to calculate the acceleration applied to missiles by the proportional guidance laws in order to hit the target. This rate is usually measured using gimbaled seekers. However, if the type of missile seeker be strap down, the LOS rate must be calculated from deriving the missile's seeker output angles or estimation methodes. The derivatio...
متن کاملDynamic Vertical Mapping with Crowdsourced Smartphone Sensor Data
In this paper, we present our novel approach for the crowdsourced dynamic vertical mapping of buildings. For achieving this, we use the barometric sensor of smartphones to estimate altitude differences and the moment of the outdoor to indoor transition to extract reference pressure. We have identified the outdoor-indoor transition (OITransition) via the fusion of four different sensors. Our app...

In this paper principles of extended Kalman filtering theory is developed and applied to simulated on-line electric power systems state estimation in order to trace the operating condition changes through the redundant and noisy measurements. Test results on IEEE 14 - bus test system are included. Three case systems are tried; through the comparing of their results, it is concluded that the pro...
متن کاملQueuing Analytics using Smartphones
We present QueueVadis, a system that addresses the problem of estimating, in real-time, the properties of queues at commonplace urban locations, such as coffee shops, taxi stands and movie theaters. Abjuring the use of any queuing-specific infrastructure sensors, QueueVadis uses participatory mobile sensing to detect both (i) the individual-level queuing episodes for any arbitrarily-shaped queu...
