The BMW Group Research and Technology has been testing automated vehicles on Germany's highways since Spring 2011. Since then, thousands of kilometers have driven the around Munich, Germany. Throughout this project, fundamental technologies, such as environment perception, localization, driving strategy vehicle control, were developed in order to safely operate prototype real traffic with speeds up 130 km/h. goal project was learn what technologies are necessary for driving.

Mapping and tracking in dynamic environments for autonomously-moving robots is still challenging, despite being essential tasks. They are often done separately using occupancy grids established object algorithms. In this work, an approach presented that estimates a uniform, low-level, grid-based world model including static objects, their uncertainties, as well velocities. It does not require existing tracks to filter out data points used creating updating the map. Nor it measurements can be...

In the past two decades digital inequality has come to be understood as a complex, evolving and critical issue in Australia, it elsewhere. This conceptual shift generated demand for more complex measurement tools that can capture combine multiple graduated indicators of inequality. The Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII), developed 2015 now including annual data covering period 2014 2018, is composite index addresses this demand. paper describes development ADII, its architecture...

In setting out the first findings of Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII), this report provides our most comprehensive picture yet Australians' online participation. The ADII has been created to measure level digital inclusion across population, and monitor over time. Based on data from Roy Morgan Research, measures three key dimensions - Access, Affordability Ability shows how they change time, according people's social economic circumstances, geographic locations within Australia....

The internet has profoundly changed how we produce, use and collect research information for public policy practice, with grey literature data playing an increasingly important role. Reports, discussion papers, briefings many other resources produced published by organisations, without recourse to the commercial or scholarly publishing industry, are a key part of evidence used practice. Yet finding accessing this material can be time-consuming task made harder poor production management lack...

This report presents findings from the third survey of Australian component World Internet Project. The was conducted in 2011.

This paper discusses the ways in which internet has profoundly changed how we produce, use and collect research information for public policy practice, particularly focusing on benefits challenges presented by grey literature. The authors argue that literature (i.e. material produced published organisations  without recourse to commercial or scholarly publishing industry) is a key part of evidence used practice. Through surveys users, producing collecting services detailed picture provided...

Quantitative research on digital inclusion has grappled with significant gaps in data respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We compare the survey methods questions of Australian Digital Inclusion Index (ADII) data, National Social Survey (NATSISS) Census Population Housing identify these gaps. While ADII is most comprehensive examination inclusion, encompassing access, affordability, ability measures, general dataset excludes people living remote areas. In addition, we...

Photogrammetry is the science of using photographs to make measurements and derive three-dimensional (3D) data about objects or terrain from two-dimensional (2D) imaging. In this article we view photogrammetry through lens geomedia studies, arguing two things. First, suggest accumulation concentration photogrammetric capabilities, technologies knowledge, First World War onwards can be understood as both part 20th-century creation a ‘government machine’, crucial element within longer-run...

This article considers automation in relation to digital advertising. At the intersection of advertising industries and everyday media experience, we now find two connected, contending technologies, embodying different visions future media. On industry side, there is programmatic – defined broadly as sale delivery advertising, where appearance on a website controlled by software rather than human decision-making. consumer are filtering technologies adblocking, designed enable users remove...

Promoting cultural competence of health professionals working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is key to improving outcomes. Cultural Educators Mentors (CE/ CMs) have critical roles in Australian general practice training, yet these are not well understood. Guided by a CE/CM Network, our research team including experienced CE/CMs, used surveys semi-structured interviews explore investigate best employment support. Participants sampled from stakeholders involved...
