Smart Vehicle Navigation System Using Hidden Markov Model and RFID Technology

Abstract: The road transport of dangerous goods has been the subject of research with increasing frequency in recent years. Global positioning system (GPS) based vehicle location devices are used to track vehicles in transit. However, this tracking technology suffers from inaccuracy and other limitations. In addition, real-time tracking of vehicles through areas shielded from GPS satellites is difficult. In this paper, the authors have addressed the implementation of a smart vehicle navigation system capable of using radio frequency identification based on information about navigation paths. For prediction of paths and accurate determination of navigation paths in advance, predictive algorithms have been used based on the hidden Markov model. At the core of the system there is an existing field programmable gate array board and hardware for collection of navigation data. A communication protocol and a database to store the driver's habit data have been designed. From the experimental results obtained, an accurate navigation path prediction is consistently achieved by the system. In addition, once-off disturbances to the driver habits have been filtered out successfully.

WebScout: support for revisitation of Web pages within a navigation session

Abstract: WebScout is a system that creates a personal archive of Web pages seen by the user and a rich record of the user's navigation, including various types of user and system generated annotations. We explore how this rich archive can be used to provide support for user navigation, in particular, for revisitation of pages within a navigation session. We describe the WebScout SessionNavigator feature that enhances the current browser functionality by providing both sequential and graph representation of the user navigation. It introduces the concept of a WebTrail which designates a sequence of navigation steps, started by a particular event, such as search, or explicit specification of a URL by typing into the address bar, or executing a link from a bookmark list. We present details of a user study that explores how users perceive and remember their navigation on the Web.

Methods and apparatus for generating navigation information on the fly

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for utilizing navigation seek points in a media presentation are disclosed. A stream of media presentation data including program content of interest is received and decoded and content of interest is made available to a user. After the program content of interest has been made available to the user for viewing, navigation information is received and communicated to the user.

System management user interface providing user access to status information for process control system equipment including displayed propagated status in a navigation pane

Abstract: A system management human-machine interface application for use in a process control system is described herein that enables users to view/monitor information regarding system status and performance and to initiate changes to the operation of system equipment, checkpoint control stations and execute diagnostics. A system management graphical user interface (GUI) includes a number of interface features that enhance the accessibility of system status information to users. Such enhancements include rendering selectable diagnostic information (e.g., online/offline status) on a system component navigation view. The GUI also provides access to a variety of system information including: alarms, messages, watched system management parameters, and a legend for symbols displayed in a system management navigation tree. Other enhancements include: a search function for quickly locating a device in the system to render detailed information, a navigation tree that displays equipment status via icons, and propagating fault statuses up to a highest level of the navigation tree.

Navigation system for vehicles and storage medium

Abstract: In a navigation system, user preferred road data is determined and stored during travel to supplement fixed road data such as map data, intersection data, node data, and destination data stored in CD-ROM for subsequent use in providing route guidance in accordance with user road preferences. The user preferred road data is the data of actual trips, and the preference of the user is reflected in the user preferred road data. To determine user preferences, either the user preferred road data is compared to the fixed road data or a searched route calculated from the user preferred road data and CD-ROM data is compared with the searched route calculated from CD-ROM data. By using the determined user preferences in route searching, it is possible to provide more elaborate route searching and route guidance in accordance with the preference of the user.
