Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics System: Linear Chassis Predictions
… the vehicle as it encounters upcoming terrain. A Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics (LAAVD) System is being developed to assist the driver in maintaining vehicle handling capabilities through various driving maneuvers. In contrast to current active safety systems, this system is predictive, …

Shelley’s heart: a model of multiuser influence in location aware fiction.
Location Aware Applications are those that utilise location to curate the scope and nature of the content that will be exposed to users. Location Aware Games and Location Aware Fiction are two of the sections into which research in this area has been divided. One notable distinction between the two …
