Semantic web service discovery system for road traffic information services
Create a multi-agent platform for a traveller information system (FIPA standards).Extend Paulucci algorithm with the use of seven similarity measures.Weight the similarity measure according to semantic relation and parameter nature.Improved running-time with a filtering pre-process for non-functional parameters.Improved the recall by measuring the sibling relationship concepts. We describe a multi-agent platform for a traveller information system, allowing travellers to find the road traffic information web service (WSs) that best fits their requirements. After studying existing proposals for discovery of semantic WS, we implemented a hybrid matching algorithm, which is described in detail …
Semantic Multi-agent Architecture to Road Traffic Information Retrieval on the Web of Data
In this paper, we describe a system based on FIPA standards to help the process of advertisement, discovery, invocation and reuse of traffic information on the web of data. The use of semantic web services (SWS) can be exploited to improve the outcomes in the discovery process, allowing end users to specify their need using concepts not keywords. Most of the traffic information is generally recovered by end users through web forms that specify their requirements, and must refill each time the same parameters to obtain the updated value from the web sites. Using agents besides Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), we will achieve interoperability between systems and also automatize the proces…
Use of ICT in Smart Cities. A practical case applied to traffic management in the city of Valencia
The whole process of converting a city into the new concept of Smart City implies the improvement of the efficiency and quality of services made available by governments and businesses and a corresponding increase in citizens' quality of life.
Smart Mobility Trends: Open Data and Other Tools
The Strategic Implementation Plan for speeding up the transformation of European Cities into "Smart cities" establishes 6 Actions Clusters and 11 Priority Areas. Some of them are directly related to the transport and sustainable urban mobility. The main goal is the application of new technologies to minimize the loss of time and energy, and to improve the satisfaction of citizens. The use and reuse of information as open data, already collected from the Public Administration and private entities is a source of possibilities adding extra value. Technologies such as Bluetooth sensors, Open Data platforms etc., become essential elements to achieve this goal. This paper highlights the opportuni…
