| Abstract | A basic task of urban mobility management is the real-time monitoring of traffic within key areas of the territory, such as main entrances to the city, important attractors and possible bottlenecks. Some of them are well known areas, while while others can appear, disappear or simply change during the year, or even during the week, due for instance to roadworks, accidents and special events (strikes, demonstrations, concerts, new toll road fares). Especially in the latter cases, it would be useful to have a traffic monitoring system able to dynamically adapt to reference areas specified by the user. In this paper we propose and study a solution exploiting on-board location devices in private cars mobility, that continuously trace the position of the vehicle and periodically communicate it to a central station. Such vehicles provide a statistical sample of the whole population, and therefore can be used to compute a summary of the traffic conditions for the mobility manager. However, the large mass of information to be transmitted and processed to achieve that might be too much for a real-time monitoring system, the main problem being the systematic communication from each vehicle to a unique, centralized station. In this work we tackle the problem by adopting the general view of distributed systems for the computation of a global function, consisting in minimizing the amount of information communicated through a careful coordination of the single nodes (vehicles) of the system. Our approach involves the use of predictive models that allow the central station to guess (in most cases and within some given error threshold) the location of the monitored vehicles and then to estimate the density of key areas without communications with the nodes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
