▼ Advances in sensing and positioning technology, fueled by wide deployment of wireless networks, have made many devices location-aware. These emerging technologies have enabled a new class of applications, known as Location-Based Services (LBS), offering both new business opportunities and a wide array of new quality of life enhancing services. One example of such services is spatial alarms, an enabling technology for location-based advertisement, location-based alerts or reminders and a host of other applications. On the other hand, the ability to locate mobile users accurately also opens door for new threats - the intrusion of location privacy. The time series of location data can be linked to personal identity, which leads to unauthorized information exposure about the individual's medical conditions, alternative lifestyles, unpopular political views or location-based spam and stalking. Thus, there are two important challenges for location-based service provisioning. How do we scale LBSs in the presence of client mobility and location dependent constraints for the multitude of new, upcoming location-based applications under a common framework? How do we provide anonymous location- based services with acceptable performance and quantifiable privacy protection in the next generation of mobile networks, systems and applications? This dissertation delivers technical solutions to address these important challenges. First, we introduce spatial alarms as the basic primitive to represent a class of locationbased services that require location-based trigger capability. Similar to time-based alarms, spatial alarms serve as spatial event reminders that enable us to express different location-based information needs supported by a variety of applications ranging from location-based advertisements, location-based personal assistants, to friend locator services like Google Latitude. We develop a generalized framework and a suite of optimization techniques for server-centric scalable processing of spatial alarms. Our architecture and algorithm development provide significant performance enhancement in terms of system scalability compared to naive spatial alarm processing techniques, while maintaining high accuracy for spatial alarm processing on the server side and reduced communication costs and energy consumption on the client side. Concretely, we develop safe period optimizations for alarm processing and introduce spatial alarm grouping techniques to further reduce the unnecessary safe period computation costs. In addition, we introduce a distributed alarm processing architecture that advocates the partitioning of the alarm processing load among the server and the relevant mobile clients to reduce the server load and minimize the client-to-server communication cost through intelligent distribution and parallelization. We also explore a variety of optimization opportunities such as incorporating non-spatial constraints into the location-based information monitoring problem and utilizing efficient indexing methods such… Advisors/Committee Members: Liu, Ling (Committee Chair), Ahamad, Mustaque (Committee Member), Blough, Douglas (Committee Member), Luo, Min (Committee Member), Pitoura, Evaggelia (Committee Member), Pu, Calton (Committee Member).

▼ The primary aim of this research is to develop and assess the innovative methods and techniques which are used to augment GPS using a variety of digital spatial data. It is well known that the use of GPS can be severely compromised by various error sources such as signal obstructions, multipath and poor satellite geometry etc., especially in highly built-up areas. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of GPS, complementary data is often combined with GPS data for enhancing the performance of a standalone GPS receiver. Spatial data is one type of complementary data that can be used to augment GPS. However, the potential of using various types of existing and newly acquired spatial data for enhancing GPS performance has not been fully realised. This is particularly true due to the fact that higher accuracy digital surface models (DSMs), which include buildings and vegetation, and digital maps, have only been made widely available in recent years. This thesis will report on a number of experiments that used spatial data of various complexity and accuracy for enhancing GPS performance. These experiments include height aiding with different scale digital terrain models (DTMs); map-matching using odometer data, DTM and road centrelines; modelling and prediction of GPS satellite visibility using DSMs; and prediction of GPS multipath effect using DSMs and building footprints. These experiments are closely related to each other in the sense that GPS and spatial data are combined to provide value-added information for improved modelling and prediction of GPS positioning accuracy and reliability, for applications such as transport navigation and tracking ... Extensive fieldwork has been carried out to verify the developed techniques and methods. The results show that the accuracy of a standalone GPS receiver can be improved by height aiding using a higher resolution DTM and map-matching especially when the satellite geometry is poor. The mean error of single receiver GPS positioning for one particular dataset, on which the described map-matching algorithm was developed, is 8.8m compared with 53.7m for GPS alone. This work was carried out in collaboration with London Transport. In terms of satellite visibility analysis, the results obtained from the fieldwork indicate that greater modelling accuracy has been achieved when using higher resolution DSMs. Furthermore, a ray tracing model was implemented in a 3D GIS environment in order to model reflected and diffracted GPS signals. The Double Differencing (DD) residuals were used to give an indication of the magnitude of the possible pseudorange multipath error caused by diffraction. A single-knife diffraction model was first implemented on 1m Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) DSMs, and verified by post-processing (i.e. large DD residuals occurred when the satellites are partially masked and unmasked by buildings), which indicate that GPS multipath prediction with LiDAR data and building footprints is feasible, and has the potential to offer greater modelling accuracy.

Naloga v osnovi proučuje, kako se posamezniki odzivajo na uporabo potovalnih aplikacij, namenjenih lokacijskemu pozicioniranju za potrebe turistov. Prvi del naloge se osredotoča na teoretične vidike tradicionalnih in novodobnih metod za odkrivanje destinacije. Podrobneje smo proučili njihov izvor, zgodovinsko ozadje, način delovanja in splošne značilnosti, teoretične modele (model sprejetja tehnologije, teorija inovacijske difuzije in socialna kognitivna teorija), proučili pa smo tudi nekatere pozitivne in negativne učinke, identificirane v prejšnjih raziskavah. S pomočjo ugotovitev smo v drugem delu zastavili pet hipotez, ki ugotavljajo, kaj vpliva na pogostost uporabe potovalnih aplikaciji in ali uporaba potovalnih aplikacij zmanjšuje uporabo tiskanih medijev. Hipoteze smo nato testirali s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, na katerega se je odzvalo 359 posameznikov. V skladu s poprejšnjimi raziskavami smo ugotovili, da imajo zaznana uporabnost potovalne aplikacije, zaznana enostavnost uporabe, zaznana združljivost in zaznano zaupanje v lastno učinkovitost pozitiven vpliv na uporabo potovalnih aplikacij. Nismo pa zaznali, da bi pogostost uporabe potovalnih aplikacij vplivala na zmanjšanje uporabe tiskanih medijev, čeprav je pogostost uporabe tiskanih medijev v korelaciji s starostjo uporabnikov.

Our paper examines how individuals respond to the use of travel applications intended for location positioning for tourists' needs. The first part of the research focuses on the theoretical aspects of traditional and modern methods of discovering a tourist destination. We studied their origin, historical background, the way they function, the general characteristics, theoretical models (technology acceptance model, innovation diffusion theory and social cognitive theory), as well as the positive and negative effects identified in previosu research. The second part of our paper focuses on five hypotheses which determine what predicts the frequency of travel application use and whether the use of travel applications (travel apps) reduces the use of printed media. The hypotheses were tested using a survey questionnaire which colected 359 responses. In line with previous research, the results show that perceived applicability of the travel applications, perceived ease of use, perceived compatibility and perceived self-efficiency have a positive effect on the use of travel applications. On the other side, we could not confirm that the frequency of travel app use reduces the use of printed media for geographical location. There is however a correlation between users' age and the use of printed maps.

Audio channel is one the two most common communication channels. Through hearing, humans perceive different information regarding their environs, can receive knowledge that another human communicates to them or can entertain their selfs. The concept that speech and music can convey emotions to the listener is common to experts and non-experts. But, these two types of audio stimuli, i.e. speech and music, are just a portion of the total amount of sounds that a man can hear. There is another type of sound stimulus, termed as general sounds or sound events, that occupy a bigger proportion of the total sound stimuli that we receive. Published works have shown that sound events can convey emotions to their listener, but they do not offer a relationship between the conveyed emotion and the technical characteristics of the sound events or any extra information that the latter can communicate. Due to the general nature of the sound events, if a relationship between the technical characteristics and the conveyed emotion is proven then is very possible that this characteristics can have a similar or same effect on emotions when the audio stimulus is speech or music. This fact will allow a higher level research focused on the effect of the sound’s technical characteristics on emotions. Thus, this thesis focus on the emotion recognition from sound events. It examines and presents results with respect to the effect of rhythm, energy and semantic content of a sound event and source’s spatial position on the listener’s emotional state. Results portray that rhythm is a technical characteristic that affects listener’s emotional state with all types of audio stimuli, whether energy is not. In addition, the source’s spatial position can alter the conveyed emotion by a sound event.

▼ Mobile location methods that employ signal fingerprints are becoming increasingly popular in a number of wireless positioning solutions. A fingerprint is a spatial database, created either by recorded measurement or simulation, of the radio environment. It is used to assign signal characteristics such as received signal strength or power delay profiles to an actual location. Measurements made by either the handset or the network, are then matched to those in the fingerprint in order to determine a location. Creation of the fingerprint by an a priori measurement stage is costly and time consuming. Virtual fingerprints, those created by a ray-tracing radio propagation prediction tool, normally require a lengthy off-line simulation mode that needs to be repeated each time changes are made to the network or built environment. An open research question exists of whether a virtual fingerprint could be created dynamically via a ray-trace model embedded on a mobile handset for positioning purposes.The key aim of this thesis is to investigate the trade-off between complexity of the physics required for ray-tracing models and the accuracy of the virtual fingerprints they produce. The most demanding computational phase of a ray-trace simulation is the ray-path finding stage, whereby a distribution of rays cast from a source point, interacting with walls and edges by reflection and diffraction phenomena are traced to a set of receive points. Due to this, we specifically develop a new technique that decreases the computation of the ray-path finding stage. The new technique utilises a modified method of images rather than brute-force ray casting. It leads to the creation of virtual fingerprints requiring significantly less computation effort relative to ray casting techniques, with only small decreases in accuracy.Our new technique for virtual fingerprint creation was then applied to the development of a signal strength fingerprint for a 3G UMTS network covering the Sydney central business district. Our main goal was to determine whether on current mobile handsets, a sub-50m location accuracy could be achieved within a few seconds timescale using our system. The results show that this was in fact achievable. We also show how virtual fingerprinting can lead to more accurate solutions. Based on these results we claim user embedded fingerprinting is now a viable alternative to a priori measurement schemes.

▼ La tesis trata de demostrar que durante el período entre 1986 y 2006, unas de las principales ciudades del sistema metropolitano español, han experimentado un cambio significativo en términos de su competitividad europea. Es sugerido que en el caso de Madrid y Barcelona en particular este cambio ha sido de tal magnitud para proporcionarlas un lugar mucho más importante dentro de la configuración territorial espacial europea que dichas ciudades ocuparon en el mediado de los años 80. Se ofrece evidencia empírica para sostener esta conjetura. La tesis se sitúa dentro demarco de la ordenación territorial a la escala europea. Traza la subida relativa de las ciudades españolas desde el momento de la entrada de España en la Unión Europea(UE) en 1986, contra el fondo del desarrollo de la política territorial europea, la integración económica aumentada a través de Europa, la importancia aumentada de la dimensión "territorial" de la política de la cohesión de UE y una eventual disminución de la aplicabilidad de la terminología del "centro" y la "periferia" para describir la ubicación geográfica europea. La Primera Parte (Capítulo 1) está dirigida a evaluar los procesos de la urbanización en general, desde una perspectiva global, y después se centra en examinar el crecimiento metropolitano en varios contextos históricos, a partir del comienzo del siglo XIX. La Segunda (Capítulos 2-5) y Tercera Partes (Capítulos 6-9) de la tesis llevan a cabo unos análisis en dos escalas territoriales contrastantes pero complementarias. La Segunda Parte examina los procesos del crecimiento metropolitano en España, a partir de 1857, discerniendo los momentos históricos en los que había oleadas en las poblaciones ‘metropolitanas’ de las siete ciudades del sistema metropolitano. Se describe las dimensiones de las unidades espaciales de análisis que corresponden a las siete regiones urbanas metropolitanas españolas, basadas en una metodología desarrollado por el Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC) en el contexto de un proyecto trasnacional de ordenación territorial de la iniciativa comunitaria INTERREG. Estas siete unidades espaciales forman la base para un análisis socioeconómico de la estructura del sistema metropolitano, utilizando datos principalmente del 2001 Censo. Si en el año 1930 una de las características claves del sistema urbano de España era de tener no sólo una, pero dos ciudades (Madrid y Barcelona) perteneciendo al grupo de 27 ciudades a través del mundo con poblaciones por encima de 1 millón de habitantes, esta misma diferenciación entre las dos ciudades más grandes del país y el resto del sistema urbano es hoy igualmente válida. El sistema urbano de España se queda claramente bicéfalo en ser dominado por estas mismas dos ciudades en términos de fuerza demográfica y económica. La Tercera Parte comienza examinando la evolución de la política territorial europea contra el fondo de una Unión Europea cada vez más grande y los cambios con respecto a la noción de la cohesión – de un concepto entendido en términos de factores… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Roca Cladera, Josep (director).

▼ Satellites have revolutionized navigation by making it more universal, accessible and ac- curate. Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most widely used satellite navigation system in the world. However, it is prone to errors from various sources such as the ionosphere, troposphere and clock biases. In order to make the system very accurate and reliable, especially to meet the requirements of safety-critical applications, Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) have recently been designed in various countries to augment the GPS by providing corrections for its errors. An Indian SBAS called GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation), developed for the Airports Authority of India (AAI) by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is currently being installed and proven for aviation and other use. The uncertain propagation delay of signals through the ionosphere is the most important contributor of error in GPS positioning, its maximal elimination is a major task of SBAS overlays. Ionospheric delays have steady, cyclic, and irregular components. The last types are of particular concern because they are unpredictable. This thesis deals with ionospheric depletion, an important phenomenon of this class that is specific to tropical regions like India and hence have not been well studied in the context of other SBAS systems of the world which cover mid-latitude domains. Depletion is an ionospheric phenomenon in which the density of electrons dips suddenly and then returns close to the previous value. It poses a challenge to the model adopted for ionospheric delay estimation since it may not be detectable by ground systems be- cause of its localized nature, and its occurrence and intensity cannot be predicted. In this work we have analyzed the depletion characteristics over the Indian region such as its distribution, frequency of occurrence, and depth and duration parameters. We have then studied and implemented an existing algorithm to detect a depletion from the Total Electron Content (TEC) data. This algorithm has been found to be inaccurate for estimation of depletion duration, and we have proposed an improved algorithm for depletion detection and shown it to be more suitable for the Indian SBAS, GAGAN. The algorithm utilizes multiple thresholds for depletion detection in order to improve performance in the presence of irregularities including noise. These thresholds are determined by analyzing real TEC data containing depletion events over the Indian region. The detected depletion events are those that have a strong likelihood of contributing large range errors and degrading GAGAN's reliability. The thresholds include depletion parameters such as the depth, duration, rate of change of TEC, and the rate of change of slope of the TEC curve. The characterization of depletion events over the Indian region yielded useful insights into the behaviour of the phenomenon. It was observed that the depletion events were invariably present post-sunset, between 1900 and 0200 hrs. This observation is consistent with the other… Advisors/Committee Members: Mahapatra, P R.

▼ Modern technology such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide new opportunities for forest inventory. These technologies allow representation of forest variables using rasters with cell sizes on the order of 25 m. Such rasters can be estimated from remotely sensed data using models of the relationship between the image’s digital number and the forest variables. This thesis investigates the possibility of using estimation methods incorporating remotely sensed data as well as spatial similarity of neighbouring field measurements, to improve prediction accuracy compared to using only remotely sensed data. Two new spatial prediction methods are presented and evaluated: ordinary kriging using information about edges detected in remotely sensed images, and prediction using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation of a new Bayesian state-space model. In addition, ordinary kriging, stratified ordinary kriging, ordinary cokriging, collocated ordinary cokriging, simple kriging with varying local means, and spatial regression using the autoregressive response model, are also evaluated. The methods are applied to predict forest stem volume per hectare in boreal forest in northern Sweden (Lat. 64°14’N, Long. 19°40’E) using Landsat TM data and a large field sampled dataset. Prediction accuracy, as well as practical aspects of the methods, is evaluated. In particular, accuracy is compared with Ordinary Least Squares regression (OLS) using remotely sensed data. Spatial prediction was, with a few exceptions, more accurate than OLS regression. The largest improvement, 49% lower root mean square error (RMSE), was obtained for plot-level predictions by ordinary kriging using information of edges detected in remotely sensed images, although the method is dependent on densely sampled field data. Promising results were also obtained by simple kriging with varying local means. This method performed well (26% lower RMSE than OLS regression for stand-level predictions), is rather straight-forward to apply in practice, and not as dependent on densely sampled field data. The Bayesian state-space model did not provide improved predictions compared to OLS regression. However, Bayesian modelling is promising for application of spatial models of higher complexity than possible with the other methods.

▼ This study has developed a framework for generalisation of geographical features using a knowledge-based solution. The proposed method consists of three major components: • Generalisation Framework - a detailed generalisation framework for deriving multi-scale spatial data has been developed based on an assessment of existing generalisation systems. Generalisation techniques were applied over a test area in the Australian Capital Territory of Australia in order to generalise 1:250,000 national topographic data to produce small scale maps through derivative mapping. Also, a framework for segmentation and generalisation of raster data was developed. Test results shows that all objects derived from the generalisation of land use data over Canberra, Australia, were well classified and mapped with a classification accuracy of 85.5%. • Cartographic Knowledge-based Generalisation – this was achieved through an international cartographic generalisation survey that collected inputs of several national mapping agencies, state mapping agencies and a number of software vendors. The findings from the survey are formulated as a series of cartographic rules to propose and implement a knowledge-based generalisation solution. • Generalisation Expert System - acquired knowledge is utilised to build a knowledge-based solution: a ‘Generalisation Expert System’ (GES) developed in the Java-Python-C programming environments for the delivery of generalised geographical features. Its capabilities are demonstrated in a case study through generalising several line and polyline databases over the study area. The tests demonstrated that the algorithms implemented in GES are able to extract characteristic vertices on the original entity lines and polylines (e.g. for roads) while excluding non-characteristic ones so as to reduce insignificant computation. This study has demonstrated reasonable improvements in Vertex Reduction, Classification and Merge, Enhanced Douglas-Peucker and Douglas-Peucker-Peschier algorithms. The test results also demonstrated that the developed methodology improves the efficiency of line and polyline generalisation. This thesis aims to contribute to generalisation system design and the production of a clear framework for users. Experiments described in the study can be applied to real world problems such as the generalisation of road networks and area features using GES. Future research should be directed towards developing web mapping platforms with generalisation functionality at varying scales.

▼ Against a background of urban aestheticization, the following study addresses questions of urban formation and change. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how an activist urban configuration, in this case the so-called "Free Town of Christiania" in Copenhagen, may affect a more general urban planning and design discourse, as well as the aesthetic assumptions behind contemporary spatial practice. The working hypothesis of the study is that an actualization of expressive urban activist practices will lead to a different conception of spatial development and change than the one presently dominating the field of urban planning. It is also anticipated that the conceptual prerequisites for urban planning and design may be altered through a radical interrogation of aestheticization processes, as they have appeared through a controversial and in many respects illegitimate 'taking of place.' The objective of the thesis has therfore not been the assessment of the specific urban formation as an ideal solution to urban life. Instead the study should be seen as a problematizing interrogation through a concrete example of the complex relation between expressive aesthetic action, spatial reproduction, and the representational power of form. The study is undertaken in the conviction that urban formation is an intermediary and composite practice that cannot be understood in isolation from social, linguistic, material, and political realities of expressive actions. Methodologically, this means that the present work is articulated within the paradigm of performativity, theorizing urban locality production from three different perspectives: the formlessness of the subject, the formlessness of space and the formlessness of power, all of which constitute a tactical dissassembly of the privileged notion of urban form. As such, the thesis aims at introducing a more elaborate and critically resonant aesthetic discussion into urban discourse, actualizing the creative potential of re-conceptualizing urban planning and design as intermediary as-if spaces of social and political interaction.

Subjects/Keywords: towns; planning; aesthetic value; social participation; housing; social behaviour; denmark; aesthetics; urban planning; landscape theory; aestheticization; performativity; urban activism; subject positioning; representational critique; spatial reproduction; tactical formlessness; polemological analysis; bio-politics; tactical play

Most transportation problems arise from individual travel decisions. In response, transportation researchers had been studying individual travel behavior – a growing trend that requires activity data at individual level. Global positioning systems (GPS) and geographical information systems (GIS) have been used to capture and process individual activity data, from determining activity locations to mapping routes to these locations. Potential applications of GPS data seem limitless but our tools and methods to make these data usable lags behind. In response to this need, this dissertation presents a GIS-based toolkit to automatically extract activity episodes from GPS data and derive information related to these episodes from additional data (e.g., road network, land use). The major emphasis of this dissertation is the development of a toolkit for extracting information associated with movements of individuals from GPS data. To be effective, the toolkit has been developed around three design principles: transferability, modularity, and scalability. Two substantive chapters focus on selected components of the toolkit (map-matching, mode detection); another for the entire toolkit. Final substantive chapter demonstrates the toolkit’s potential by comparing route choice models of work and shop trips using inputs generated by the toolkit. There are several tools and methods that capitalize on GPS data, developed within different problem domains. This dissertation contributes to that repository of tools and methods by presenting a suite of tools that can extract all possible information that can be derived from GPS data. Unlike existing tools cited in the transportation literature, the toolkit has been designed to be complete (covers preprocessing up to extracting route attributes), and can work with GPS data alone or in combination with additional data. Moreover, this dissertation contributes to our understanding of route choice decisions for work and shop trips by looking into the combined effects of route attributes and individual characteristics.

Ultraprecision single point diamond turning is required to produce parts with sub-nanometer surface roughness and sub-micrometer surface profiles tolerances. These parts have applications in the optics industry, where tight form accuracy is required while achieving high surface finish quality. Generally, parts can be polished to achieve the desired finish, but then the form accuracy can easily be lost in the process rendering the part unusable. Currently, most mid to low spatial frequency surface finish errors are inspected offline. This is done by physically removing the workpiece from the machining fixture and mounting the part in a laser interferometer. This action introduces errors in itself through minute differences in the support conditions of the over constrained part on a machine as compared to the mounting conditions used for part measurement. Once removed, the fixture induced stresses and the part’s internal residual stresses relax and change the shape of the generally thin parts machined in these applications. Thereby, the offline inspection provides an erroneous description of the performance of the machine. This research explores the use of a single, high resolution, capacitance sensor to quickly and qualitatively measure the low to mid spatial frequencies on the workpiece surface, while it is mounted in a fixture on a standard ultraprecision single point diamond turning machine after a standard facing operation. Following initial testing, a strong qualitative correlation exists between the surface profiling on a standard offline system and this online measuring system. Despite environmental effects and the effects of the machine on the measurement system, the capacitive system with some modifications and awareness of its measurement method is a viable option for measuring mid to low spatial frequencies on a workpiece surface mounted on an ultraprecision machine with a resolution of 1nm with an error band of ±5nm with a 20kHz bandwidth.
