Driving Safety & Awareness Cooperative Business Model exploiting the 5GMETA platform
No full textThe introduction of the 5G in the automotive sector paves the way to new business opportunities and stakeholders collaboration, thanks to the availability of new connected vehicles technologies. To emphasise the opportunities of improved data sharing, different business modelling approaches exist, depending on the phase of the data value chain that technologies are able to cover. The 5GMETA open platform aims to leverage CCAM-based captured data to stimulate, facilitate and feed innovative products and services exploring the possibilities enabled by collaborative business models. This paper describes a new business model which focuses on a Use Case (UC) on "Driving Safety and Awareness" that exploit the 5GMETA platform, and highlight its business innovation. In this context, the value proposition relies in the ability to increase road safety thanks to a better driving-misbehaviour detection, thus providing benefits to a wide range of potential stakeholders. The UC has its foundation in the real-time data collected, in a scalable and reliable way, by the platform. The main innovation that the adoption of such business model will bring is the creation of new partnerships that may be enforced by a clear definition of the profit-sharing strategy between the actors involved
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A drone-based image processing system for car detection in a smart transport infrastructure
Full text linkIn this paper we present a car detection system prototyped within an experimental project. It analyzes video streams recorded by drones flying over an urban environment. The intended final goal is the automatic provision of helpful information, such as the available parking spaces and the level of congestion of the streets. The system has been tested both in a desktop PC and on an embedded system. The experimental results show a significant accuracy and prove the feasibility of novel on-board service
Using drones for automatic monitoring of vehicular accident
No full textUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being increasingly adopted in civil applications and are penetrating in many fields, thanks to their accessibility and to the easiness of their use both as low-cost vectors and as surveillance vehicles. On the other hand, in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) domain, vehicular communications represent a valuable mean to enforce safety, through the rich information exchanged by Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X) interactions. In this paper we present an innovative safety monitoring system leveraging UAVs communicating with cars. The objective is to use autonomous and automated control of drones to monitor the scene of accidents and upload information (e.g. pictures) useful to the effectiveness of emergency aid services, but also helpful for insurance and law enforcement bodies
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
