This paper presents a study evaluating the applicability of several different measures to the validation of Agent-Based Modeling simulations against streaming data. We evaluate the various measurements and validation techniques using pedestrian movement simulations used in the WIPER system. The Wireless Integrated Phone-based Emergency Response (WIPER) system is a Dynamic Data-Driven Applicatio...

Today’s mobile technology features several sensors that when integrated can provide ubiquitous navigation assistance to pedestrians including wheelchair users. Common sensors found in most smartphones are Global Positioning System (GPS), accelerometer, and compass. In this paper, a user’s movement pattern recognition algorithm to improve map matching efficiency and accuracy in pedestrian/wheelc...

Recent technological advances have increased the quantity of movement data being recorded. While valuable knowledge can be gained by analysing such data, its sheer volume creates challenges. Geovisual analytics, which helps the human cognition process by using tools to reason about data, offers powerful techniques to resolve these challenges. This paper introduces such a geovisual analytics env...

Visual analysis has potential to be used for recognition, and it is one of the hottest but most difficult subjects in computer vision. In order to identify pedestrian movement in an Intelligent Security Monitoring System, the video activity in the prospect is represented by a series of spatio-temporal interest points. Since human posture has the characteristics of uncertainty and illegibility, ...

Indoor evacuation model can provide scientific guidance for security solution design and emergency plan making in indoor environment, and virtual 3D scene can make the evacuation simulation more intuitive. An integration method of multi-grid evacuation model in 3D virtual indoor environment is proposed here. It maps 3D scene to 2D plane and establishes the grid table first, and then for each gr...

Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. For evaluating and modifying pedestrian safety in unsignalized crosswalks,the first important issue is to identify and explore factors affecting the interaction behavior of pedestrians andvehicles in conflict areas. By analyzing those factors and determining how they affect road user's behavior, we canrepresent the plans and proc...
