To proceed with WP2 task 2.2 "New types of data needs" please determine the data requirements for your 'idea' untill August, 22!
Links to existing projects elsewhere...
I visited Imperial College, Oxford InnovITS and the UK TRL to make effective use of the extra time I had to spend in Europe prior to the EC Review meeting to be abel to attach it to a separate project journey. The results I will post where appropriate, but one of central relevance to WP2 is the large UK MESSAGE project, where I was briefed at Imperial (I am awaiting the FREEFLOW data fusion information before posting that to the relevant WP)
Ill try and link the poster summaries of MESSAGE here if I can...
In July 2009 the World Wide Web Consortium or W3C has released an update of the Geolocation API for client-side devices. It reports the client (e.g. mobile devices such as PDAs and smartphones) location using a range of sources, such as IP address, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MAC address, RFID, Wi-Fi connection location, or device GPS and GSM/CDMA cell IDs. The location is returned with a given accuracy depending on the best location information source available. Having a current location is the basis for creating services as described in this idea. As a demonstration of this kind of service there is now an operational ROADIDEA web site for a point rainfall prediction in Holland. It uses rainfall prediction 1 by 1 km grid data up to two hours ahead to predict the amount of rainfall on the location of the device that connects with the internet. The device can be a mobile phone, or laptop, or any other device that has a web browser that supports the GeoLocation API.
