Vehicle Movement Tracking Using Online Map with Real-time Live Video in 3G Network

Abstract—For several years, location based information
services have been studied and implemented in various fields
including mobile communication and ubiquitous computing to
gain advantages for their usage and their convergence services
nature. One of the most powerful ways to personalize mobile
services is based on location. There has been a tremendous
increasing number of researches as well as development both
hardware and software to reach an ultimate goal and
understanding about Location Based System (LBS) including
satellite-based LBS which provided many services such as
emergency rescue, logistics control, and navigation. In
addition, the recent available integration of Online map API
such as Yahoo and Google within wireless 3G networks
(WIBRO or WIMAX), have opened a new page of interest and
researches to developers as well as students with
telecommunication academic background. However, seeing the
movement of vehicle on the online map is not good enough.
Therefore, a real-time video streaming from vehicle is also
integrated. In this study, we develop a system which provides a
virtual look and feel interface of vehicle movement on the
online map with an integration of real-time live video from the
vehicle. We have decided to use DCCP (Datagram Congestion
Control Protocol) as the main transport protocol in order to
stream the video. This system is also utilized in disaster
prevention and emergency system such as fire prevention,
emergency rescue and lost child systems. Test and
experimental implementation of the system gave us a positive
result. However, as our system is first developed, a lot of
improvements are needed to make the system better and
accurate.
