Transport for London (TfL) collects large amounts of data from its services that it analyzes to improve customer experience. TfL uses data from Oyster cards, bus journeys, emails and more to understand customer behavior and congestion patterns. It then tests targeted communications to influence passenger travel during peak times. A trial in Bethnal Green showed about a 5% shift in travel from the most congested period, indicating changes to passenger behavior. Going forward, TfL aims to integrate more data sources to better optimize transport networks and customer service.
AMS Launch Conference - session 8 - Hans van LintAMS-Amsterdam
The document discusses the importance of data and empirical evidence for understanding mobility and developing effective mobility policies. It describes the Urban Mobility Lab (UML) which aims to be an open platform for collecting and analyzing various mobility data sources to gain insights. The UML seeks partnerships to build its data collection capabilities and hopes to use data fusion techniques to address challenging problems in optimizing public transport networks and estimating travel flows and delays.
Big Data and Transport Understanding and assessing optionsLudovic Privat
Massive amounts of digital data are being generated from a variety of sources including sensors, devices and online activities, with estimates that the total "digital universe" will grow to 44 zettabytes by 2020. This data holds potential value when combined from different sources to provide new insights but also risks around privacy if used without appropriate protections. Transport authorities will need to evaluate how new and existing data sources can help improve operations, planning and safety while ensuring regulations keep pace with changing data practices.

Presentation on Innovations in London's Transport: Big Data for a Better Customer Service by Andrew Hyman, TFL at HPC and Big Data 2016 in Central London
A presentation by Neil Frost (Chief Executive Officer: iSAHA), at the Transport Forum SIG: "Cost Effective Public Transport Management Systems" on 12 May 2016 hosted by University of Johannesburg. The theme of the presentation was: "Big Data and Public Transport."
The document discusses a new compact terminal model developed at the Verona Quadrante Europa Terminal Gate in Italy. Key points:
1) The compact terminal model was an innovative solution designed to address capacity constraints at the existing terminal while working within space restrictions.
2) The model utilized 6 compact cranes rather than traditional portal cranes, integrated modeling to optimize operations, and allowed for efficient truck-to-train and truck-to-stock processes.
3) Initial results found the compact terminal design increased capacity and productivity compared to the previous layout. The new terminal served as an example of how innovation could help terminals better handle capacity demands.

EECS 441 - Company Presentation - Oculus VRSamarth Gulati
Oculus VR was founded in 2012 by Palmer Luckey to develop affordable virtual reality headsets. It gained popularity with its Kickstarter campaign and support from gaming industry leaders like John Carmack. After several rounds of funding, Oculus was acquired by Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion. Since then, Oculus has released consumer versions of its Rift headset and partnered with Samsung on the Gear VR. It aims to drive the future of VR and AR through continued hardware improvements, content availability, and wireless connectivity.

In the current study of mining activity within the Russian platform, we use the advantages of location and historical bulletins/catalogues of mining explosions recorded by small-aperture seismic array Mikhnevo (MHVAR). The Institute of Geospheres Dynamics (IDG) of the Russian Academy of Sciences runs seismic array MHVAR (54.950N; 37.767E) since 2004.
Small-aperture seismic array “Mikhnevo” includes ten vertical stations (solid triangles), with one station in the geometrical centre of the array (C00) and other nine stations distributed over three circles with radii of 130 m, 320 m, and 600 m. The array aperture in approximately 1.1 km. Two 3C stations (solid triangles in circles) were added to the outer circle in order to improve the overall stations sensitivity (detection threshold) and resolution. All stations are equipped with short-period seismometers SM3-KV, which are characterized by flat response between 0.8 Hz and 30 Hz and gain of 180,000 [Vs/m]. Later, a 3C broad band station (BB) was installed in the centre of the array for surface wave measurements. The array response function (only for 12 vertical channels) is similar to that for many small-aperture arrays. Such arrays are designed to measure high-frequency signals from regional and near-regional sources with magnitudes above 1.5-2.0.
Page 4
MHVAR detects regional seismic phases (Pn, Sn, Lg, Rg) from various sources. Figure shows some selected waveforms with source-station distance decreasing up-down. Correspondingly the length of records decreases – for the closest mines it’s harder to distinguish between P and S phases.
Page 5
More than 50 areas at regional and near regional distances with different levels of mining activity have been identified by MHVAR. Since 2004, thousands of events have been reported in the IDG seismic catalogue as mining explosions. The IDG publishes this mining event catalogue as a part of the annual issues of “Earthquakes in Russia”, which is available for the broader geophysical community. The map shows several selected mines at near-regional distances where MHVAR successfully detects events with magnitudes 1.0 and lower. We also show a few selected mines at regional distances with the largest events of magnitude (ML) 2.0 and above. Such events should be also detected by IMS arrays. Joint interpretation of signals detected by MHVAR and IMS arrays allows significant improvements in signal detection, location, characterization and identification of events in the IDG catalogue when the historical data are revisited. The work on joint analysis of the IDG and IMS data is possible under the “Contract for limited access to IMS data and IDC products” between the CTBTO and IDG, which allows obtaining data through 2011.
To begin with, we have chosen blasts with larger magnitudes from well-known ironstone mine Mikhailovskiy (red circle), which is situated at regional distances somewhere between MHVAR (~330 km) and IMS array AKASG
The document discusses an image scalar hardware algorithm and proposes improvements. It analyzes issues with the current approach of no burst support and non-continuous addressing. It suggests adding burst mode support to increase efficiency, allow easier idle states, and reduce bus access time. This would help pipeline the computation and decrease hardware resource needs with buffering.
