“The Geo-Location Technology Landscape”
In this workshop attendees will get an overview of Geo-Location Technologies and the value proposition they offer in emerging markets and applications.
We will give insights into the capabilities of these technologies as they are currently being used and provide thoughts on their likely evolution and future use. For example, the growth of smart phones with geo-location abilities is transforming industries ranging from advertising to disaster response. We will look at are some of the enabling geo-technologies involved in creating applications for these emerging use cases.

4. who here remembers using the old mapquest interface? you know the old non-ajax one. Each
time you wanted to go right you had to click and the map would have to reload... and do any
of you remember the first time ajax became mainstream on the web... In my opinion it was
when google maps was released...
5. This ajax interface was revolutionary and its essence has not changed from its initial
functionality. This not only started the whole ajax buzz but also put location based tech. in
the forefront of peoples mind and caused a huge interest in the area. It tapped into the
natural explorer and geogropher in all of us. Surely you remember zoom into your home and
then to your neighbours home and then their backyard and so on ... This notion of
discovering information via its spatial context comes very naturally to all of us and so the
evolution of the Web and IT has also progressed in this direction to create what we now know
as the GeoWeb
6. GeoWeb
GeoWeb has meant that mass collaboration over the internet to create detailed geospatial
content is now possible. OpenStreetMap is a classic example of this. Here we see the
mapping of Haiti that was completed within a few days of the 2009 Earthquake. This is
leading to more and more detailed and free geospatial content on the internet. The blue dots
are the make shift camps that are appearing.
7. Tech. stack that enables
this
• Hardware
• Software
• Web2.0
What is enabling this technology is a mixture of innovation in hardware, software and the
idea of data creation and sharing over the Web (Web 2.0)
And there are quite a few market sectors that use LB technology. The most popular one
would be the mobile LBS sector and I will talk about that.
Having said that I should emphesise that LBS is only one category of applications that require
position information. Position information is critical in many applications some have existed
for decades and opportunities are opening up to innovate in some traditional sectors besides
LBS too - such as transportation and logistics. My colleague will speak a bit about them in the
second half of this presentation.

15. Software: GeoStack
The software stack is what the LB technologies can be built from. and I want to give u a
overview of this so that you know how to enable these innovations from a developer/
technologist point of view.
16. Software: GeoStack
Core
• OS layer: prefer real time OS
• Low level libs: networking/routing
protocols
• SDK for device
Embedded OS’s:
For the hardware designer, it is imperative to choose low-power hardware components and
arrange them to minimize current leakage and to pro- vide a power-efficient sleep mode. The
software designer must be able to use the hardware to make the most out of the limited
resources. The software must switch off unused components and put the hardware into sleep
mode as often as possible. To aid the software developer, smart objects run operating
systems that provide mechanisms for low-power operation.
e.g TinyOS, Embedded Linux, Real-Time OS, Android, isense, contiki
- tinyos: built on neC a subset of C
- contiki built in C
Low level Libraries:
network layer software
- smart routing protocols e.g. pheromone routing protocols for packets
- working in increasing noisy network environments
SDKs for interfacing with hardware devices (e.g. GPS, gyro, compass)

31. Attributes of Location
Technologies
Now that we have an idea of the core software stack we can use it as a building block to
create location based services... but first we need some definition on the attributes of this
technology
32. Coverage
Coverage is the availability of location information where you need it. An example of poor
coverage would be a large building without any maps or exit signs to show you where you are
relative to the outside. An example of a situation where coverage is critical may be when a
firefighter is trying to rescue a person from a building.
33. Accuracy
Accuracy is how closely your position matches the reality. Are you within centimetres or
meters of the actual target position. Importance of this is obvious in defence and rescue.
34. Speed
Speed is how quickly you obtain the position of the device or target. Speed varies with the
type of technology and environmental conditions. For example positioning using IEEE
802.15.4-2006 (which is the communications standard used by devices in a Wireless Sensor
Network or Mesh Network) in an environment polluted with WiFi noise will take longer to find
a position than in a low noise environment.
35. Reliability
Reliability / integrity: the percentage of time that location data is available, correct and
delivered per location request. Applications that require reliability are mission-critical
services such as aviation, emergency calls, routing of emergency services and military
applications. Network assistance is a means to improve reliability for mobile safety services.
For aviation and maritime applications, augmentation systems such as EGNOS also provide
additional reliability
36. Power
Power consumption: is the battery life relative to the typical use case for the technology. If
the battery life is short but the use is infrequent the overall consumption will be low - a good
thing!
37. Cost
Cost: not a dollar amount but relative to the value derived by the use
38. Privacy
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dalantech/2349477313/
Privacy of location information especially when connected to real-time social networks comes
with risks. As the LBS become main stream the users of these services will need to be better
aware of the implications of making their location public. From the technology perspective
the approach has been to give use control over the sharing of their location. However users
aren’t always in the best position to judge the implications of sharing location information.
For example some information that is already meant to be public is becoming more
accessible thanks to the GeoWeb and improved local search. In this presentation, we will
touch on the privacy issues without getting too caught up in it, as it is still a complex
somewhat theoretical still.
39. Market Sectors
We have divided the location based market into these 5 distinct sectors, which we have
chosen based on our own experience in working in them. I am sure there are more, and we
would encourage the audience to think of further sectors and think of possible avenues of
innovation in them.
One of the most exciting and expanding sectors is that of Consumer mobile and LBS largely
driven by applications running on smart phones.
A huge and innovative sector is that of Telematics which shoaib will talk about.
Another sector is that of outdoor activities and personal navigation devices which is seeing
some growth coming from devices which are now more networked.
Governments have been at the forefront of GIS and GPS technologies, as they are responsible
for national geographic information infrastructures, and continue to be heavy users of
geospatial information for their day to day work. Finally more and more NGO’s are finding
location an invaluable part of their workflow, so we have a sector for them as well.

47. This describe the entire chain of technologies that turn raw position data into useful business
information, such as driving directions or task efficiency.
The value chain can be divided into 4 basic groups:
1. Physical location data: this part of the chain answers the most fundamental question:
where is the user or the device... geo-data is created by the users, and comes in via the
computer network or device like GPS. It could also be created by crowd sourced services like
OSM for example or be generated by governments or private companies like google or digital
globe
2. Location enabling services
without some other information like social graphs or temperature data for example the raw
geo-spatial data is useless. One needs to add meaning to the geo data then expose it by
some API services. Such services are rarely enough to provide any business value by
themselves. Geocoding of street addresses and spatial queries is an example of such a
service.
3. Location application service.
Then there are services or applications that use these low-level api’s to create business logic
for users to interact with: example Facebook places, foursquare, etc. The business logic uses
the low-level api’s together with the interactions to provide a compelling user-experience.
Other examples are mapping and routing services.
http://spacialdb.com our startup provides low level spatial API as location enabling service
as well as location application services in the form of spatial alerts or triggers.
4. Application service
Finally we have the end user application that use this business logic implementation towards
49. Shopping
Shopping/retail sub-sector:
A lot of time is spent by people in this sector, and the industry is based on providing location
services for navigation and security. The main technology being used for indoor navigation is
Cell-ID, WiFi and A-GPS.
Also note that airports are also following the retail mall model, even though its a secondary
objective, and so the same applies to them as well.
The most important use cases here are to find for specific goods in malls or friends in
airports or destinations for exits or rescue in emergencies.
Coverage and accuracy is the biggest issue here which is not currently addressed. Being
indoors does not help either.
Speed is not much of an issue and is good enough when there is good coverage.
Reliability is not that much of a concern as the number of users are limited, but it will only
increase in time.
Power consumption will increase on the mobile device, depending on the type of tech. being
used, and is an area of possible innovation. But currently with WiFi or A-GPS integration its
not too bad.

55. Social networks and
gaming
We Infer what we do based on who we are with. knowing our friends’ preference can provide
advice on where to buy something, or where to go for entertainment, etc.
Use cases of location based social networking are checkins services like foursquares and also
games that make you go out to do something rather than sitting in front of the computer.
Coverage is quite good, but privacy remains the biggest unavailable need especially its
management for non technical or young users.
Adding realtime notifications to social events is going to be a big area of innovation,
especially in dealing with the vast amount of computation required as social graphs grow.

58. Advertisement
This industry is expected to grow and not the least from iAd and location is clearly a way to
make ads relevant and a source of further revenue.
The issues here is of coverage, in that the percent of smartphone users is quite low, so the
campaign is not worth running for these niche users.
Accuracy, with checkins and couponing is available, but how to extract ad value from accurate
position is an open area... think AR with virtual billboards as u swing around...
LBMarketing is the creation of an app sponsored by a brand, which can use location better
than the ads coming through disruptive banners inside apps which provide little metric for

62. Indoor
We spend most of our times indoors from the office to the mall and then home :-( but no
system or service has been given to properly address this opportunity
Let me describe some potential use cases in the indoor sector:
imagine knowing where your colleagues are in a big office, or which room is free for a quick
meeting...
at airports indoor positioning can give travels information about the location of their gates,
how long it will take to get there as well as sale notifications from shops
Check-in apps no longer need manual input of indoor location, but can do so automatically,
and can inform you if your friend is on the 2nd floor etc.
Finally augmented reality apps could play a big role indoors as well as outdoors.
However the coverage and accuracy remain the big issues here because of being indoors.
They require additional hardware, and some solutions exists using wifi, but they lack accuracy
and reliability.
but new buildings that have had fore-though put into nav. but the market penetration is still
shallow in terms of costs as well.

69. Summary of LBS
Apps which work indoors like inside shopping/retail centers require coverage which is not
solved yet.
For mobile apps like social gaming or tourism, its important to have high accuracy which is
still lacking.
For instant gratification apps, speed is required, e.g. coupons/check-ins, where the
transactions need to be finished in seconds... but for outdoor apps like navigation, speed is
not that big an issue, but increasingly will become one.
We as consumers are becoming reliant on location at an ever increasing pace, so now
reliability is especially for touristic applications and applications like check-ins for example is
very important.
Battery life is still an issue and hinders some type of LBS, particularly those running on hand-
held devices. nothing worse than being lost and not being able to call someone because the
battery had died, a situation someone here has been in I am sure.

Core: Let me elaborate on the core technologies a bit. The biggest change here is the addition of network
connectivity and a move towards multi-functional devices. Thus navigation is just one of many functions
performed by the onboard networked devices. Networking opens up possibilities for a wide range of innovations
to occur.
Sensors and Location enablers: Innovations to accuracy and coverage are quite common. Power is not a
problem as the devices can be kept powered by the car’s power. Innovation in vehicle safety systems requires
changes at the core technology stack. In particular location enablers, sensors and antennas. These are to
improve safety by detecting if a collision or an accident is imminent.
Operating System: trends are to open up to third party developers letting them build value added services.

117. GeoData Providers
I won’t be able to go into every core data provided in the telematics industry but I’d like to
mention one in particular which is quite interesting as it uses telematics to collect data and
resell analysed data to Telematics Service Providers. Namely Floating vehicle data
118. Floating Vehicle Data
Services based on Floating Vehicle Data us data from mobile sensors (e.g. mobile phones) to determine
traffic conditions by collecting and analysing localisation data, speed, direction of travel and time
informatio. These data are the essential source for traffic information and for most intelligent
transportation systems (ITS)

132. The Connected Car
• BMW connected drive
• Mini connected
• Ford’s Sync API for developers
BMW ConnectedDrive: BMW Assist, BMW Online, BMW Tracking, BMW TeleServices and in-
vehicle internet access.
These offer location-based services using GPS technology and the SIM card integrated in the
car telephone. Back office servers can know the vehicle's current location and can provide
relevant information along a route.
Services such as weather at your destination, finding a nearby parking space, news items
and stock market updates. Location based emergency services such as closes open doctor.

as photogrametry are creating content georeferenced to a 3D environment.
Intermap Technologies recently announced 3D Roads, a dataset that provides highly
accurate 3D models for every road, roads, throughout Western Europe.
143. Intelligent Vehicle
Safety (IVS)
Intelligent vehicle safety applications are those that prevent vehicle accidents/collisions or
reduce the severity of damage and injury as a result. They do this by monitoring the local and
surrounding driving environment.
Onboard sensors and cameras that communicate with onboard computing systems that
analyses the data to determine if remedial action is required.
Intelligent Vehicle Safety:
Air Bag Deployment Notification
Seat Belt Tension Notification
Emergency Assistance
Roadside Assistance
Security
Automatic Theft Notification
Theft Tracking
GeoFencing
Vehicle Status
Remote Diagnostics
144. Expected Trend
• Automatic emergency notification
• Reporting accident location
• E112 location integration
IVS systems can detect if the driver is alert, if the vehicles wanders out of its lane for no
apparent reason, if the vehicle gets too close to the vehicle in front or if a collision is
imminent.
* SOS and automatic ambulance and emergency notification and intgrat
* reporting crash
* E112 integration of position
* Applications that monitor driver behaviour
145. Commercial Vehicle
Telematics (CVT)
CVT is the technology enabling real-time fleet management systems. It works by
transmitting data from vehicle back to the back-office management system and/or third
party such as third party logistics
Also include Asset Management Monitoring of an asset such as cargo, vehicle,
equipment or personnel from central office for the purposes of billing, maintenance,
exception handling, directing, record-keeping, safety and injury prevention, legal
requirements, etc.
146. Expected Trend
Expected to see integration of multiple sensors for greater data coverage for applications
such as cargo theft monitoring. Label of "Smart containers"
•improvement to increase in-transit visibility and protection of physical and intellectual
assets across multi-modal transportation and supply chains
•solutions that combine next-gen container construction, temp monitoring, tracking, and
communication capabilities to render containers truly ‘smart’
•monitor smart containers. Assess the readiness of satellite, cellular, ad-hoc mesh
communications , GPS, environmental sensors and active RFID
Examples of integrated navigations systems such as Siemens VDO System allow GPS routing
to take real-time traffic and environmental conditions into account when routing. This is
leading to savings by reducing time spent stuck in traffic.
Many efficient transport and distribution operations these days are totally dependent on
reliable IT systems (for example, ‘just-in-time’ stocking principles hinge on rapid and
efficient communications) for communication with customers, suppliers and contractors.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): Within IT systems, one of the fastest-growing areas is
that of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), whereby transport and distributor firms receive
orders, delivery documentation and invoices direct from their customers’ computers
into their own (compatible) systems via direct communications links, completely eliminating
the delays, errors and other difficulties associated with the creating and movement of paper
documents via postal and courier systems. EDI systems provide the benefits of rapid and
accurate order passing and processing (at less direct cost) and with the potential for reducing
stock levels.
United Nations has set a standard for EDI known as EDIFACT (an acronym for **Electronic
Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport**), under which there are
