The current study has generated the green driver concept to evaluate the incorporation of green driver to negative outcomes reduction of road transportation. The study aimed to identify the green driver’s behaviors affecting safe traveling by engaging two research phases. Phase one was to identify the safe driving behaviors using Systematic literature review and Content Analysis methods. Phase one identified twenty-four (24) sub-factors under reckless driving behaviors cluster, and nineteen (19) sub-factors under safe driving practice cluster. Second phase was to establish the actual weight value of the sub-factors using Grounded Group Decision Making (GGDM) and Value Assignment (VA) methods, in order to determine the value impact of each sub-factor to green driving. -

Evaluation of the Accuracy of the New Primary Precise Geodetic Network in Korea
Earth Planets Space, 50, 629–634, 1998 Evaluation of the accuracy of the new Primary Precise Geodetic Network in Korea Jae-Hwa Choi Department of Civil Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea (Received August 25, 1997; Revised April 23, 1998; Accepted May 21, 1998) Accuracy of the Primary Precise Geodetic Network (PPGN) established during the period of 1975–1994 in Korea is investigated through an analysis of residual from free network adjustment. The PPGN, composed of 1155 points with mean side-length of 11 km, was surveyed by EDM trilateration to revise old triangulation network established in 1910 s. A-posteriori standard deviation of unit weight is 3.8 × 10–6 of the observed length. Most of the estimated error ellipses of horizontal coordinates are nearly circular with a radius <5 cm except those in the marginal part of the network. Mean error of the adjusted coordinates was ±4.5 cm, a value good enough for a geodetic control network of current standard, and as the reference for future crustal deformation studies. 1. Introduction To keep consistency with the old coordinates system, the Geodetic control network not only provides a basic PPGN was adjusted in the way that its official coordinates framework for the survey of nation-wide topographic map, are same as the old ones. Unfortunately, original records of cadastral and civil engineering surveys, but also contributes the old survey are lost during the Korean war, and we only to geodynamics. Establishment of nationwide geodetic have a set of coordinates of triangulation points now. Hence, network in the Korean peninsula was carried out in 1910 s. -

FDM 9-20 Spatial Reference Systems
Facilities Development Manual Wisconsin Department of Transportation Chapter 9 Surveying and Mapping Section 20 Spatial Reference Systems FDM 9-20-1 General February 28, 2001 The discipline of surveying consists of determining or establishing relative positions of points above, on, or beneath the surface of the earth. In Wisconsin, there are two primary spatial reference systems for defining the location of a point: - The U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS). - The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). The PLSS is based on a system of townships, ranges, and sections (see FDM 9-20-5). The PLSS provides the basis for almost all legal descriptions of land. The NSRS, which includes the former National Geodetic Reference System (NGRS), is a mathematical reference system (see FDM 9-20-10). The NSRS consists of precisely measured networks of geodetic control that support accurate mapping over large areas. To understand the roles of these reference systems, it is important to recognize that the PLSS was designed for land ownership purposes but not for accurate mapping, and the NSRS was designed for geodetic surveying and mapping but not for land ownership documentation. Since accurate property maps are becoming essential with digital-based ownership documents, it is important that there be a substantial link between the two reference systems. Methods are needed to utilize the spatial characteristics of the NSRS when addressing the location of landmarks. Fortunately, recent technological developments such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), electronic total station survey instruments, and computer aided drafting (CAD) now make the task of using the PLSS and NSRS together more efficient, economical, and practical. -

Threat and Alert Analytics in Autonomous Vehicles
EPiC Series in Computing Volume 69, 2020, Pages 48{59 Proceedings of 35th International Confer- ence on Computers and Their Applications Threat and Alert Analytics in Autonomous Vehicles Aakanksha Rastogi and Kendall E. Nygard Department of Computer Science North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA. {aakanksha.rastogi,[email protected]} Abstract Autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars emerged with a promise to deliver a driving experience that is safe, secure, law-abiding, alleviates traffic congestion and reduces traffic accidents. These self-driving cars predominantly rely on wireless technology, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) networks, Road Side Units (RSUs), Millimeter Wave radars, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), sensors and cameras, etc. Since these vehicles are so dexterous and equipped with such advanced driver assistance technological features, their dexterity invites threats, vulnerabilities and hacking attacks. This paper aims to understand and study the technology behind these self-driving cars and explore, identify and address popular threats, vulnerabilities and hacking attacks to which these cars are prone. This paper also establishes a relationship between these threats, trust and reliability. An analysis of the alert systems in self-driving cars is also presented. keywords: Self-driving cars, advanced driver assistance systems, trust, reliability, ethics, security, threats, vulnerabilities 1 Introduction In recent years, human imagination, creativity, artificial intelligence and a relentless quest to expand dexterity of automobiles has led automobile engineers to design and engineer an automobile that is self-reliant, self-sufficient and self-driving. Imagining a future where a self-driving car run errands (such as picking up clothes from dry-cleaning) while you are still at work and reaching office just in time to pick you up when you are done, is not a far-fetched dream. -
