Question about GSoC 2013: use case for OGC's moving features?

Hello Nadeem Anjum (hopping he is still on the list)

The OGC's Moving Features standard working group is looking for use 
cases. I saw some proposals about transportations in a Japanese city, 
hurricane trajectory, or a soccer match composed of 23 moving features.

If my memory serve me right, the Google Summer of Code 2013 project was 
about a multi-agent model applied to a security or law enforcement 
problem, is that right? If so, I guess that those agents could be 
considered as moving features. Should we propose this GSoC project as a 
use case for the OGC working group?

I should add: I think that it is fine to reference your work in the 
bibliography. It is just that OGC being a standardization organisation, 
the main document needs to be implementation neutral. But I think that 
it is perfectly fine to mention some implementations in the bibliography.

Cool, thanks! Could you write some lines about your work? Other uses 
cases are about one page long, sometime with figures.

Note: the goal is not to describe a particular work, but to describe the 
general scenario where some kind of data or information are likely to be 
useful to policemen (for example). The emphasis is on which objects or 
features are moving in this scenario, what are the characteristics of 
their displacements, which data are available and what are the 
characteristic of those data (sampling rate, accuracy, etc.).

Looking at the other use cases, the pattern seems to be:

  * Description of the problem that we try to solve.
  * Objects that could be represented as a moving features. Examples:
      o Pedestrians. Speed: 4km/h. State: stay or walking.
      o Vehicles. Speed: 60 km/h.
      o Vessels. Details: enter/leave a particular area. Speed: 11 knots.
      o Vessels. Details: suspicious manoeuvres. Speed: rapidly varying.


A description of data sources. Example:

  * Smart phones. Localization method: GPS/Wi-Fi positioning. Sampling
    rate: 1 point per second. Accuracy: 100 metres.
  * Automatic Identification System (AIS). Sampling rate: 1 point every
    6 minutes. Accuracy: 100 metres.



An explanation of constraints that a standard would need to meet in 
order to be useful to your scenario. Example:

  * Aviation: because of the large amount of data, an efficient binary
    format is necessary. Verbose XML can not work.


Thanks!

     Martin

Hello Nadeem

Its look good. I have transferred the information to the Moving Features 
group.
Thanks for all your work,

Hi Martin,

It looks good.I have done some minor modification as below. I have also
attached a screenshot of the simulation:
____________________________________________________________________
Relationship with moving features:

 * The simulation needs a city description with roads and buildings of
   interest. LeafletJS or CityGML could be used here.
 * The simulation needs to represent the agent's trajectory in the
   above-cited city. Moving features could be used here.
 * The trajectory is repeated weekly with random variations. We may
   represent that by a "base line" moving feature. This base line would
   not describe a real moving feature, but would be used as a template.
 * Interactions between the environment (CityGML) and the moving
   features may trig events. For example when <mf:Trajectory> value
   become close to a CityGML feature or interest having a low "presence of
   police" attribute, a crime may occur depending on the value of that
attribute and other attributes like
"absence of guardian", "profit", "risk".
_____________________________________________________________________

The screenshot can be interpreted as below:

   - The ciminal agent moves between Home, Office, Bar, Lunch-A, Lunch-B,
   Mall marked on the map as per a weekly schedule
   - The result corresponds to the weekly schedule run for 500 times on the
   city: Indianapolis.
   - The small squares on the map correspond to crime spots.
   - The color of each crime spot represents the number of times crime has
   been committed at that spot, normalized on a scale of 0-100.

[image: Inline image 1]  :  0
[image: Inline image 2]  :  1-10

Hello Nadeem

The Moving Feature group asked us to provide a little bit more details 
about how the use case relates to moving features. What about the 
following? (please edit as you see fit)

Relationship with moving features:

  * The simulation needs a city description with roads and buildings of
    interest. CityGML could be used here.
  * The simulation needs to represent the agent's trajectory in the
    above-cited city. Moving features could be used here.
  * The trajectory is repeated weekly with random variations. We may
    represent that by a "base line" moving feature. This base line would
    not describe a real moving feature, but would be used as a template.
  * Interactions between the environment (CityGML) and the moving
    features may trig events. For example when <mf:Trajectory> value
    become close to a CityGML feature or interest having a "presence of
    guardian" boolean attribute, different events may occur depending on
    the value of that boolean.

The Moving Feature SWG chair just replied. He would be interested in 
Nadeem's use case. But because of tight deadline before the next OGC

Hello Nadeem

Thank for you quick reply. Your work seems a nice use case. If you 
agree, I will post an email on the Moving Feature SWG asking if they 
would like such use case (it will probably depends on their schedule and 
whether they consider having enough use cases or still want more - they 
have 4 in their latest draft, but your work does not seem to duplicate 
the other use cases). If the SWG said that they would like to add this 
use case, then we could write one or two pages about your work, 
including screenshots if you have some?

Does it sound okay?

Hi Martin,

I am very much present here on the list.

The GSoC 2013 project involved simulation of single moving criminal agent,
to predict crime patterns. The future work of this project could involve
moving victim agents add well as moving police agents.

So yeah, the project involves a multi-agent moving model and can be
proposed as a use case for the OGC working group.
