Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Background:

Urban crime significantly impacts city life, affecting migration, housing, and liveability.
Traditional urban crime studies often depend on static, institutionally reported data.
Digital technologies offer new possibilities for fine-grained spatio-temporal crime analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate how digital technologies enable detailed analysis of urban crime over time and space.
To investigate bike theft in Amsterdam, a city with a prominent cycling culture and high theft rates.
To utilize ubiquitous sensing and active location tracking for crime research.

Main Methods:

Leveraging ubiquitous sensing and active location tracking technologies.
Analyzing spatio-temporal patterns of bike theft in Amsterdam.
Focusing on the intersection of active mobility and urban crime.

Main Results:

Active location tracking reveals detailed movement patterns of stolen bikes.
Temporal analysis uncovers specific patterns related to bike theft incidents.
This research provides novel insights into urban crime dynamics through digital tracking.

Conclusions:

Digital technologies, particularly tracking, offer a powerful tool for understanding urban crime.
The study enhances the analysis of active mobility and its relationship with urban crime.
Findings contribute to more effective urban safety strategies by understanding crime movement.
