This chapter introduces the concept of Cooperative Positioning (CP) for vehicular networks, or more precisely, VANETs (Vehicular Adhoc NETworks), as an application of DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication). It includes a comprehensive review of available and hypothetical vehicular positioning technologies. Amongst these, the importance of CP for Location Based Services using DSRC is emphasized, and some important issues are addressed that need to be resolved in order to implement CP successfully with standard DSRC infrastructure. The performance bounds of CP are derived. Ranging between vehicles is identified as the main hurdle to be overcome. Time-based techniques of ranging are introduced, and the bandwidth requirements are investigated. The robustness of CP to inter-node connection failure as well as GPS (Global Positioning System) dropout is demonstrated via simulation. Kalman Filter performance for CP is evaluated, and proven to be efficient under conditions such as the consistency of GPS signal availability ranging between vehicles. CP has, however, shown to increase the positioning accuracy to 1-meter level, even in the deep urban valleys where vehicles frequently become invisible to navigation. Overall, CP is proven to be a viable concept and worthy of development as a DSRC application.

Wireless communication has become important in location-based services. The enormous amount of data is extracted for useful information to solve the real world problem. Global positioning system, is used to captures the position of an object at specific time period. The scheme is finding the congested route by considering the number of vehicles in a road segment. It consists of two methods, firstly it finds the group of points based on consistency of route points and second it arranges the groups in sequence of values for each route

Mobile Location Based Services (MLBS) have been in operation since the 1970s. Conceived initially for military use, the Global Positioning System technology was later released to the world for other applications. As usage of the technology increased, mobile network points, developed by mobile service operators, supplemented its usage in various applications of MLBS. This chapter charts the trajectory of MLBS applications in the mass market, afforded by the evolution of technology, digital, and mobility cultures. Assimilating various MLBS classifications, it then situates examples into four quadrants according to the measures of user-position or device-position focus, and alert-aware or active-aware applications. The privacy implications of MLBS are captured on the economic, social, and political fronts, and its future is discussed.

AbstrakSebuah smartphone umunya dilengkapi dengan Global Positioning System (GPS). Pengguna smartphone  disamping dapat mengetahui lokasi dirinya, umumnya juga ingin mengetahui lokasi sekitarnya. Foursquare merupakan salah satu jejaring sosial yang menyediakan layanan berbasis lokasi. Foursquare memiliki fitur check-in, untuk menandai lokasi pengguna.Dalam penelitian ini akan dikembangkan aplikasi pada perangkat dengan sistem operasi Android yang dapat mencari lokasi fasilitas umum di sekitar pengguna dengan memanfaatkan teknologi layanan berbasis lokasi. Aplikasi ini memanfaatkan data dari Foursquare. Hasil pengujian terhadap aplikasi yang dibangun menunjukkan filter data dan sistem auto check-in berjalan dengan baik sehingga duplikasi data dalam Foursquare dapat diminimalkan.  Kata kunci— Layanan berbasis lokasi,  Android, Foursquare, Fasilitas umum  AbstractA smartphone is equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS). A smartphone user may know  the location itself, and usually want to know the surrounding location. Foursquare is a social network that provide location-based services. Foursquare has a check-in feature to mark the location of the user.This research develops applications on devices with Android operating system that can find  location of public facilities around the user by using  location-based services technology. This application uses Foursquare data.The test results showed that the application can filter data and the check-in systems running properly such that duplication of data in Foursquare can be minimized.  Keywords— Location Based Services (LBS), Android, Foursquare, Public Facility

Creative industries and tourism is one sector that is easiest to improve the condition of the economy of a region. This study discusses the information distribution service usage model of mobile application technology using Location Based Service (LBS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) in the development of creative industries through integration with products of tourist destinations. By using the technology of location based services and global positioning system that will be developed and implemented on the application of geographic information systems and web-based mobile android, then the those creative industries would be material and guidance in utilizing information technology as a means to promote the business of creative industries it has to be more effective and efficient

Along with the development of smartphones and tablets world-widely, and the progress of mobile internet and Wi-Fi hotspots, users can acquire information via mobile devices anytime and anywhere.In recent years, Taiwan's tourism is flourishing, more and more foreign travelers come to visit Taiwan.Therefore, providing a user-friendly M-tourism system for foreign travelers can help them to experience more during traveling.We referred the theories of human-computer interface design to develop our M-tourism system—the LBS M-tourism Application.This system not only provides online traveling information, but integrates with location-based services (LBS). The LBS M-tourism Application can use global positioning system (GPS) technology, and provide traveling information or services to the user based on his/ her present location.

<p>In the advancing world of technology, Mobile applications are a rapidly growing segment of the global mobile market. Mobile applications are evolving at a meteor pace to give users a rich and fast user experience. Android operating system supports most applications in today’s technical world. It is an open source operating system which highly satisfies the user’s needs. In this paper, the applications that are location based i.e. the applications that make use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) is discussed. It is a space based satellite navigation system which provides details of time and location in all weather conditions anywhere on or near earth. We introduce PROFILER, a framework for constructing location centric profiles (LCPs), aggregates built over the profiles of users that have visited discrete locations. In addition to a venue centric approach, we propose a decentralized solution for computing real time LCP snapshots over the profiles of collocated users. In our System we find the corresponding location using Global Positioning and Service Provider also. This is to change the profile mode automatically and alarm notification enable automatically when you are going to reach corresponding location or Regular Location.</p>
