This paper reports the results of a study investigating the user privacy challenges when personal data is published within linked data environments. Motivated by GetThere, a passenger information system that crowdsources transport information from users (including personal data, such as their location), four scenarios are outlined that illustrate how linked data environments can impact upon use...

In this paper, we present a new entertainment adaptive framework AIRSF for stress free air travels. Based on the passenger’s current and target comfort states, user entertainment preference, and context of use, the system uses a Markov decision process to recommend context-aware and personalized stress reduction entertainment to transfer the passenger from the current state to the target comfor...

Designing effective aviation security systems has become a problem of national concern. Passenger screening is an important component of aviation security. Developing real-time passenger screening strategies can be quite challenging. This paper identifies a methodology that can be used in real-time to optimally assign passengers to aviation security resources for the Sequential Stochastic Multi...

The passenger service level in an elevator system depends on the planning of the elevator group and on the control of the elevators. In this thesis the contribution of passenger and elevator traffic for an elevator group with multiple shafts is studied by simulations and theoretical analysis. During this work an elevator control system, the Traffic Master System 9000 (TMS9000), was developed. T...

In this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. To achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. The length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

OBJECTIVES Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of childhood fatality, making use of properly installed child passenger restraint system (CRS) a public health priority. Motor vehicle crashes in rural environments are associated with increased injuries and fatalities, and overall CRS use tends to be lower compared with urban populations. However, it remains unclear if proper installation ...

The human-caused extinction of the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is one of the best known and documented of any bird. This event was particularly alarming because the Passenger Pigeon went from being one of the most numerous avian species in the world to extinct in a period of decades, when the last individual died in captivity in a Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. While a great deal of info...
