| Abstract | Many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in cities with developed economies are making use of mobile technology as data sources (e.g., many crowd-sourced traffic-related applications) to improve the quality and efficiency of transportation networks. Often, these data sources are used to supplement existing traffic monitoring equipment (e.g., ground-loop detectors, traffic cameras), to provide greater insights into roadway infrastructure and traffic dynamics. For cities with emerging economies where traditional traffic monitoring equipment is cost prohibitive, the rise in mobile technology presents a unique opportunity to leverage smartphone sensors as an alternative data source for ITS. There are, however, challenges to using these sensors particularly with the cost of mobile data, network consistency, and on-device resources. In this paper, we present a mobile system that instruments roads under resource constraint while a vehicle is in motion. It determines when and what data to collect and/or upload using a number of on-device valuation and optimisation functions, by prioritising data collection over uploading or vis-versa. We deployed our mobile system on a fleet of heavy-duty waste-collection trucks in Nairobi, Kenya to collect a large volume of real-word road infrastructure and mobility data. Results show that a 42 % reduction in wireless transmissions costs can be achieved with minimal impact to the time in which important data are collected, uploaded and harmonized into a frequently updated map of road infrastructure and traffic. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
