Preliminary requirements:
Basic knowledge and skills in cartography and GIS
Limit of students:
30
Purpose of course:
To familiarise students with the theoretical and practical knowledge on the technologies and methods of creating cartographical elements of navigation application. The emphasis is on providing the understanding of how to design and use various kind of maps for navigation purposes and form location-based services (LBS). The student should deepen the knowledge about electronic mobile maps and classic maps used in car navigation, indoor navigation, air navigation and marine navigation.
Contents of education:
Lecture: Basic concepts regarding mobile systems, mobile cartography and mobile GIS. The scope of spatial information necessary in location and navigation systems. The content of maps for navigation. Standards for the development of navigational charts (ICAO, IHO and others) The review of applications for land, air and marine navigation. The role of the map in autonomous navigation. Spatial data models for navigation application. The specificity of cartographic presentations in mobile systems. Methodology of cartographic presentation in mobile systems. Structures of databases supporting visualization in mobile systems. Project: Analysis and evaluation of the selected location and navigational systems in terms of cartographic correctness. Design and development of a cartographic presentation for the needs of a mobile navigation system.
Methods of evaluation:
The final assessment of knowledge and skills consists of the grade from projects with the weight of 0.5 and the test grade with the weight of 0.5, the lecturer has the right to revise it up by a half of grade. Passing the lecture is on the basis of the written test covering theoretical-problem nature issues (obtaining minimum 60% of points – passing threshold). To pass the project it is required to obtain more than 60% of points from all assessments/reports and class attendance . More than 2 unjustified absences means student’s failing the project.. The additional element of the assessment of the exercises is the substantive activity of the student.
