The aim of this study is to develop a search tool for roads for mobile GIS application. The satellite image of Ankara is the base map of program. There is also a search option for the roads. The application is based on open source libraries, which are ECW for imagery and SQLite for the database of vector. The application is coded in Embedded Visual C++. The study shows that mobile GIS applications can be prepared by the help of open source libraries. There is no need to buy a commercial product to mobilize the GIS.

Development of of a safety performance index assessment tool by using a fuzzy structural equation model for construction sites
Gunduz, Murat; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Ozdemir, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2018-01-01)
The main goal of this study is to propose a safety performance index assessment tool to improve the construction safety. Formulation of the safety performance index of construction sites is achieved upon a validated multidimensional safety performance model. The contribution of this study could be summarized as incorporation of fuzzy set theory into structural equation modeling to develop a safety performance index assessment software tool. Case studies were conducted at 11 international construction sites ...
Geographic information system-based visualization system for planning and monitoring of repetitive construction projects
Sönmez, Rifat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2008-11-01)
This study presents a visualization system based on a geographic information system (GIS) for planning and monitoring the progress of construction projects that are repetitive due to their geometrical layout. A prototype system was developed and applied to an actual pipeline project to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach. The primary advantage of the system is improved visualization of geographical conditions and their impact on the progress rate. Enhanced visual representation of the schedu...
Optimization of well placement in complex carbonate reservoirs using artifical intelligence
Uraz, İrtek; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004)
This thesis proposes a framework for determining the optimum location of an injection well by using an inference method, Artificial Neural Networks and a search algorithm to create a search space and locate the global maxima. Theoretical foundation of the proposed framework is followed by description of the field for case study. A complex carbonate reservoir, having a recorded geothermal production history is used to evaluate the proposed framework ( Kizildere Geothermal field, Turkey). In the proposed fram...
Assessment of overtopping reliability and benefits of a flood detention dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2008-10-01)
There is a growing tendency to assess safety levels of existing dams and to design new dams using probabilistic approaches according to project characteristics and site-specific conditions. This study is a probabilistic assessment of the overtopping reliability of a dam, which will be designed for flood detention purpose, and will compute the benefits that can be gained as a result of the implementation of this dam. In a case study, a bivariate flood frequency analysis was carried out using a five-parameter...
Intelligent stabilization control of turret subsystems under disturbances from unstructured terrain
Gümüşay, Özdemir; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, an intelligent controller for gun and/or sight stabilization of turret subsystems is developed using artificial neural networks. A classical proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller equipped with a non-linear unbalance compensation algorithm is used as the low-level controller. The gains of this PID controller are tuned using a multilayered back-propagation neural network. These gains are modeled as a function of the error between the command and feedback signals and this model...
