An end-to-end framework to support moving objects in smart cities applications
Geolocation, Framework, Data Move Object
The proliferation of intensive use of geolocation devices has significantly contributed to the considerable wear and tear on the battery life of these devices, resulting in difficulties in using certain applications. Faced with this issue, the present study introduces a comprehensive framework developed for the purpose of collecting, processing, and visualizing geolocation data on mobile devices, with a particular focus on smartphones. The system in question is composed of an Android library that enables the transmission of geolocation data while offering configuration options to enhance accuracy and reduce battery consumption. Additionally, a Java framework has been developed to receive and process this data, integrating with PostGIS extensions to ensure the acquisition of highly precise positions. Finally, a JavaScript library has been implemented to receive and display stored geolocations, providing a clear and intuitive understanding of underlying geographic patterns.
