  • Seoul 3000: a Taxi Ride in Seoul
    Seoul 3000: A Taxi Ride in Seoul Grouppodcast ASBE I Actors Christine Christine van Rossum Johanna Johanna Köhler Rilana Rilana Karlguth Taxi driver Christian Tewes Narrator Friedrich Scheel (as a guest) Introduction Narrator: Someone who is in an unfamiliar city and wants to arrive at a destination quickly normally goes by taxi. But in a metropolitan area like Seoul you should not do so without preparation. Just a few taxi drivers speak English fluently and in Seoul neither street names nor house numbers do exist. Therefore, it is important to know public places, famous buildings, large hotels or underground stations close to your desired destination to give some instructions. During the 2002 Soccer World Cup even a special translation service was introduced that made it possible to call an interpreter free of charge if communication is impossible. How the Germans and Germany as the host country of many famous writers is perceived in Korea is presented in the following spectacle in five acts and is well-grounded in fact and the knowledge about Korea the group has gained so far. To get detailed information Koreans who lived or still live in Germany for a while were interviewed. Moreover, the situations described by the taxi driver are based on real life stories. Storyline Narrator: After a wonderful week in Doha Christine, Johanna and Rilana arrive suntanned at Seoul International Airport. Christian, however, is not with them as he found the love of his life in Doha and decided to stay with her. To get to their accommodation at EWHA Womans University they hail a taxi and greet the friendly driver.

  • Driving Behaviour Analysis Using Machine and Deep Learning Methods for Continuous Streams of Vehicular Data
    sensors Article Driving Behaviour Analysis Using Machine and Deep Learning Methods for Continuous Streams of Vehicular Data Nikolaos Peppes , Theodoros Alexakis , Evgenia Adamopoulou and Konstantinos Demestichas * Institute of Communication and Computer Systems, Zografou, 15773 Athens, Greece; [email protected] (N.P.); [email protected] (T.A.); [email protected] (E.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In the last few decades, vehicles are equipped with a plethora of sensors which can provide useful measurements and diagnostics for both the vehicle’s condition as well as the driver’s behaviour. Furthermore, the rapid increase for transportation needs of people and goods together with the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) push the transportation domain towards a new more intelligent and efficient era. The reduction of CO2 emissions and the minimization of the environmental footprint is, undeniably, of utmost importance for the protection of the environment. In this light, it is widely acceptable that the driving behaviour is directly associated with the vehicle’s fuel consumption and gas emissions. Thus, given the fact that, nowadays, vehicles are equipped with sensors that can collect a variety of data, such as speed, acceleration, fuel consumption, direction, etc. is more feasible than ever to put forward solutions which aim not only to monitor but also improve the drivers’ behaviour from an environmental point of view. The approach presented in this paper describes a holistic integrated platform which combines well-known machine and deep learning algorithms together with open-source-based tools in order to gather, store, process, Citation: Peppes, N.; Alexakis, T.; analyze and correlate different data flows originating from vehicles.
