Motivation
● Existing systems are based on user input
(assume location knowledge)
● Not "smart" enough
● Not open
● Not accessible
Slide 7

Incident Identification Platform
● Detect incidents without assuming any location
knowledge
● Detect both static and evolving incidents
● Web based platform (accessible)
● Mobile clients for Android™ devices
● Communication using open APIs and common
protocols (HTTP)
● Open source

Static Incident Detection
1. calculate all possible incidents using
the collected reports
2. filter out too distant incidents
3. calculate the average incident location
4. calculate standard deviation of
incidents
5. determine safe point of location
identification

Evaluation Process
● collecting real data (using different
mobile devices)
● collecting virtual data (using gmaps)
● randomizing collected data (location)
● randomizing collected data (run order)
● replaying scenarios
● plotting results

Tracking Algorithm
● 3 main phases
● filtering based on space and
time criteria
● can detect evolving incidents
● adjusting existing position
using two different
algorithms
● scalable
