Hi All, The update regarding the project is as mentioned below:
- I have updated the database in the server with the open street map data of Indiana, after converting it to a routable network. I had extracted data of just Indianapolis city too, but then the code for Indiana too completed execution (after ~111 hours!), so I have uploaded the entire data of Indiana. So now simulations can be run in Indiana - The map has been focused to Indianapolis by default. - Link: http://gw76.iu.xsede.org/criminfo/ - A sample setup for simulating Routine Activity with locations and 50 crime spots marked has been saved as - "*test1*" . You can load it and click on "Simulate Routine Activity" to run the simulation. You can also load "*test1-res*" to view the results directly - A sample setup for viewing the results of distance decay when simulated on a map with conditions like presence of police-agent, absence of guardian (victim-agent) at crime spot, inherent risk, profit value of spot etc. has been saved as - "*test2*". You can load it and click on "Simulate Distance Decay Activity" to run the simulation. You can also load "*test2-res*" to view the results directly of simulation run 5 times - I have started with commenting the code and documentation Apart form the documentation, I believe I have completed all that I had mentioned in my proposal ( http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/nadeemanjum/14001). Please note a couple of minor modifications to my original proposal: - The original proposal mentioned only one form of motion - Random. But we have implemented three forms of motion- Beeline, Random and Hybrid - The original proposal mentioned simulating movement of v-agent and police. However, I realized that there is no need to show the movement of v-agents and police on the map explicitly. What matters is the presence or absence of police and victim-agent (guardian of spot) in the vicinity of the crime spot. These factors have been considered using a probabilistic model for deciding whether the criminal-agent breaks into the crime spot, so it serves the purpose. Obviously, I will be continuing after GSoC too for working towards a publication and collecting data by running the simulation a large number of times. If there is anything else you feel needs to be done before the GSoC deadline of Sep 23 (apart form documentation and testing), please let me know. Thanks, Nadeem.
