Vehicle Movement Tracking Using Online Map with Real-Time Live Video in 3G Network

摘要

For several years, location based information services have been studied and implemented in various fields including mobile communication and ubiquitous computing to gain advantages for their usage and their convergence services nature. One of the most powerful ways to personalize mobile services is based on location. There has been a tremendous increasing number of researches as well as development both hardware and software to reach an ultimate goal and understanding about Location Based System (LBS) including satellite-based LBS which provided many services such as emergency rescue, logistics control, and navigation. In addition, the recent available integration of Online map API such as Yahoo and Google within wireless 3G networks (WIBRO or WIMAX), have opened a new page of interest and researches to developers as well as students with telecommunication academic background. However, seeing the movement of vehicle on the online map is not good enough. Therefore, a real-time video streaming from vehicle is also integrated. In this study, we develop a system which provides a virtual look and feel interface of vehicle movement on the online map with an integration of real-time live video from the vehicle. We have decided to use DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol) as the main transport protocol in order to stream the video. This system is also utilized in disaster prevention and emergency system such as fire prevention, emergency rescue and lost child systems. Test and experimental implementation of the system gave us a positive result. However, as our system is first developed, a lot of improvements are needed to make the system better and accurate.
