Master Thesis The Effects of Navigation Systems on Traffic Congestion Using Real-Time Data: Case of İzmir(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Duvarcı, Yavuz; Duvarcı, Yavuz; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study tries to define the effects of navigation systems in urban traffic through city area in İzmir, using Google maps. Navigation systems, especially with real-time traffic data is relatively new, and user's rate has been sharply increased along with a spread of smartphone. However, there is no deep understanding of the navigation systems, yet. Therefore, people who utilize navigation systems while driving might trigger unexpected merits and demerits. The study is conducted on two different scales; (1) commuting trips in the overall city (16 km in a straight line) and (2) short trip in the central business district (2 km in a straight line). Within the study area, the hypothetical trips are generated and the data of travel time and a travel distance of each trip suggested by Google maps is gathered. Compared the data, it is defined that how much time could be saved and how long additional travel distances are caused by Google Maps. Besides, the possible problem in the local streets is investigated. In a narrow local street, the environment should be pedestrian-friendly and suitable for low-speed vehicles, however, navigation systems would lead drivers into the local street. We discover how long are local streets used by the recommendation of the navigation system. The result shows that during peak hours, the travel time travel distance is longer compared to the off-peak hours. Also, it indicates that by using Google Maps, drivers could save travel time while they drive the longer travel distance during peak hours.Master Thesis Location Aware Multimedia Content Production Using Geotagged Scenes in Conjunction With Maps and Aerial Imagery(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Çelik, Lütfi Sefa; Gümüştekin, Şevket; Gümüştekin, Şevket; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe availability of various web services and applications have been attracting a large number of internet users who also contribute to the production of a massive amount of accessible content. Although the share of the multimedia contents is considerable in this data pool, the search for the desired multimedia contents can still be a challenging task. One of the most frequent motivations of internet users seeking for still photographs or videos is to create a feeling of remote presence. These people need to put a significant effort into collecting different types of files, such as action videos, aerial scenes, and still photographs. When image and video files are geotagged (tagged with location data), they can be associated with maps. Current technologies allow us to determine and record information about camera position and orientation. In this thesis, it is aimed to solve problems related to the production and visualization of the location aware multimedia content. Our approach involves using available devices and custom-designed hardware for positioning via Global Positioning System sensors and Inertial Measurement Unit sensors to create query-ready multimedia content. Images and videos, along with location and orientation data, are organized in a database. The designed web application reorganizes the queried multimedia content using the relative location aware data, then creates animations to give guidance on a path for travelers. Therefore, visualization of the multimedia contents on the map according to the movement animation on the trip path also provides the remote presence experience along with the information about travel.
