The presented thesis deals with the subject of tracking via GPS and focuses on possibilities of the practical implementation of user tracking system with the help of mobile end user devices. The introductory theoretical part shortly describes the properties and history of the GPS navigation system. It outlines possible development of end user mobile applications on the level of operating systems and mobile web applications. The final theoretical part provides a short outline of properties of tacking systems available in the Czech market. The primary aim of the thesis was to create an application which would enable the tracking of user position via GPS. The practical part describes the selected solution as well as the individual parts of the designed tracking system. The resulting system allows to record and track user position determined by a mobile phone with an integrated GPS module. The systems also enables the creation of user groups, tracking their routes and visualization of the given position or entire route on a map.

This master thesis deals with wireless sensor network with protocol IPv6. In the begining there are explained the priciples of communication in wireless sensor network, and based on this teories are configured a wireles network with predefined development kit. Furthermore, by using geographic coordinates, positions of the nodes are displayed on a website, what is a part of this thesis. On this website are also presented the measured values from sensors. For saving all informations and measured values about each nodes was used remote MySQL server. Communication between this server and 6LoWPAN network provide Perl script which is runs at periodical intervals. With this method automatization of the whole system are ensured.

This work deals with traveling salesman problem (TSP) and examines it’s possibilities to use in business. It is about the optimization of the travel cost, saving time and unnecessary mileage. Part of the work is a program with a GUI written in program MATLAB. Program uses neural networks to calculate the most effective path between places, where the trader has to reach. It’s possible to use the algorithm for many purposes, e.g. distribution of goods, store management, planning of PCBs or rescue services. Program communicates with the Google Maps API server, which provides the actual information of the path.

This paper explores the development and implementation of an in-browser map with the purpose of visualizing large sets of geographic data. The map is implemented into a pre-existing search engine of geographic data. Two mapping frameworks are compared in terms of performance, ease-of-use, and functionality. These frameworks are Leaflet and Google Maps. This paper also explores which issues may arise when implementing these mapping frameworks within a pre-existing ASP.NET project. These aspects were evaluated through performance tests, documentation reading, and compiling experiences gained through implementing the map within the search engine. The experiments show that both Leaflet and Google Maps are viable frameworks to use when developing in-browser maps, but also that they have their pros and cons. Google Maps sports a generally higher level of performance, and a larger set of paid available services. Leaflet is a free, open-source alternative with a large plugin repository, but relies on third-party services for features such as geocoding.

This thesis describes the process of identifying key requirements for a map-based interface for a document management software. Existing software platforms suitable for implementation of such a system were identified, evaluated and tested. The purpose of this thesis was to provide Aconex, a document management company, a recommendation for the implementation of a map-based interface to its software for its customer Bechtel. Requirements gathering was done in stages: identifying stakeholders, understanding context, defining requirements and finally creating software specifications. Suitable platforms were identified by literature study and consultation. They were selectedbased on a few critical criteria. Selected platforms were used in implementation of a prototype showcasing the platforms’ abilities to satisfy the technical requirements. It turned out that Google Maps provided the best platform for Aconex's needs. OpenLayers was a great alternative and came with the ability of using unlimited numbers of KML-layers, but at the disadvantage of requiring more code. / Denna rapport beskriver processen att identifiera krav för ett kartbaserat gränsnitt till ett dokumenthanteringssystem. Tillgängliga mjukvaruplattformar som kan användas i detta syfte har identifierats, testats och utvärderats. Målet med detta arbete var att ge råd till Aconex, ett företag som arbetar med dokumenthantering, om hur de borde implementera ett kartbaserat gränsnitt till sitt dokumenthanteringssystem för deras kund Bechtel. Kravinsamling gjordes i olika steg: hitta intressenter, definiera systemkontext, samla in krav och utveckla programvaruspecifikationer utifrån kraven. Tillgängligamjukvarulösningar hittades genom en kombination av litteraturstudier och goda råd, och blev sedan prioriterade utifrån kritiska krav. Prototyper skapades i de mest lovande plattformarna, där varje prototyp visar hur plattformen uppfyller de krav som ställts. Resultatet blev att Google Maps var den platform som fungerade bäst för Aconex. OpenLayers var också ett bra alternativ då man där kan visa obegränsat antal KML-lager, men för att OpenLayers ska klara av lika mycket som Google Maps krävs betydligt mer kod.

The awareness of power consumption is considered to be an important step of driving energy- saving technologies development. With the ‘Smart Grid’ technologies, Sweden has deployed Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) nationwide. How to present and operate the data be collected by AMI devices in an effective and friendly way has become a problem worth to research on. This thesis project aims to provide an energy consumption monitoring system, which integrate power consumption information from AMI, and geographic information from coordinates, for both customers and power companies, practical for the latter one. Based on that, active web map services of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Swedish market are also been analyzed in this thesis report, in order to investigate the features which may be applied in this system. The energy consumption monitoring system presented in this project is developed on the GIS of Google Maps, web-browser based. With the open Google Maps API for Javascript and WAMP environment support, a working system is given locally. In this project, at a designated Swedish area, Smedjebacken, there are 50 end-users with AMI data periodically recorded at the interval level of one hour for a whole year, and 3 substations connecting part of the end-users, all of them have the coordinates to position. AMI data is used to simulate a real-time scenario to test the monitoring function. Functions of this system are separated into two aspects, customers and power companies. Customers can check their power consumption in many different ways, including latest hour’s consumption, any past single day’s consumption, generate whole year’s consumption column chart, comparing with the average consumption level with a certain range of neighbors. Power companies have global view and access authorities of all customers and substations. In addition, an alarm will be triggered if any of the substation’s power loss is over 5%. As a result of analysis, the advantage lay with Google Map on cost of developing, open API and documentations. In the end, a working monitoring system is given under the simulated real-time power consumption scenario.

I nästan tre decennier har GPS-koordinater och rutt-instruktioner visats i en top-down 2D-vy. Först i dedikerade navigationssystem, kommersiellt används för körning, till idag med GPS-system tillgängliga i våra smartphones. Det vanligaste sättet att idag visa GPS koordinater är fortfarande i någon form av 2D-vy som visar användaren var den är och vilka vägar / gator som ska tas. Detta har emellertid några problem som vi tror kan lösas med hjälp av Augmented Reality kombinerat med GPS. I denna uppsats beskrivs om och hur en Augmented Reality baserad navigerings vy kan göra det lättare för gående att navigera genom en stad jämfört med en 2D baserad navigering. För att svara på frågan presenterar denna studie en navigationsapplikation som kombinerar de två teknologierna GPS och Augmented Reality som sedan används i ett användartest. Resultaten från användartesterna och frågeformuläret visar att Augmented Reality-baserad navigering används bäst i scenarier där det finns många gator och det är svårt att berätta på en 2D-karta vilken gata du ska ta. / For almost three decades GPS coordinates and directions have been displayed with a top-down 2D view. At first in dedicated navigation systems, commercially used for driving, into today having GPS systems available in our everyday smartphones. The most common way to display the coordinates today are still by some sort of 2D view showing the user where it is and what roads/streets to take. This however has some problems that we believe can be solved using Augmented Reality combined with GPS. This paper sets out to answer the question if and how Augmented Reality displayed navigation can make it easier for pedestrians to navigate through a city compared to a 2D displayed navigation. In order to answer the question at hand this study presents a navigation application that combines the two technologies GPS and Augmented Reality which then is used in a user test. The results from the user tests and the questionnaire indicates that Augmented Reality based navigation is best used in scenarios where there are a lot of streets and it is hard to tell on a 2D map which street to take.
