Global Positioning System. American satellite-based radio navigation service Artist's impression of GPS Block IIIA satellite in Earth orbit The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based hyperbolic navigation system owned by the United States Space Force and operated by Mission Delta 31.[2][3] It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provide geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where signal quality permits.[4] It does not require the user to transmit any data, and operates independently of any telephone or Internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.[5] It provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.
Although the United States government created, controls, and maintains the GPS system, it is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.[6] The GPS project was started by the U.S. The U.S. Timeline and modernization. ✅ A-Z Essex. Rome2rio.
Visualising popular travel destinations through heatmaps - Rome2rio. Rome2rio provides users with multi-modal travel directions to destinations that range from large cities down to exact addresses. With over 200,000 visitors daily, this provides us with a unique repository of data about travelers’ preferences for various destinations. Visualizing this data as heatmaps of popular destinations for users from specific countries allows us to gain some insight into the travel preferences of different markets.
We prepared heatmaps by processing all user queries on Rome2rio in 2014, mapping each query onto the user’s location (aggregated by country), and the co-ordinates of their searched destination. We visualized this data by producing per-country heatmaps for ten of Rome2rio’s top markets. Our heatmaps highlight regions that are more popular with users from a particular country than they are with users from other countries. United Kingdom: Brits especially love France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the coast of Spain and southern Turkey (around Fethiye).
DB & Google Transit & the best laid plans of mice & men - Rome2rio. Rome2rio CTO Bernie Tschirren and I have just returned from a couple of weeks in Europe; we visited Amadeus at their grand campus on the Cote d’Azur, attended the ITB conference in Berlin, and met with a number of companies in Paris. On the in-between weekend Bernie headed to The Netherlands while I visited friends in Italy. All that travel was made easier by journey planning on Rome2rio — no surprise there — but we also took the opportunity to see what our friends at Google would suggest for our travels. And that, as they say in the classics, is quite a story! There was quite a stir back in 2012 with the announcement of an exclusive data sharing deal between German Railways (DB) and Google. DB defended that decision in an open letter, saying (forgive the translation if it’s not quite perfect) “The quality of information for our customers is our top priority here.”
Or so they thought. Amsterdam to Paris via Cologne and Frankfurt? Goodness me! Anyway, back to my travels. Rod Cuthbert. European travel costs to fall as Rideshare arrives on Rome2rio - Rome2rio. Travel around Europe is set to become less expensive and easier to plan with the integration of ridesharing options into rome2rio.com. Ridesharing is typically a much more affordable choice than air and rail services, and we’ve made it easy to compare the cost of a rideshare trip to those more traditional options in our search results. Take for example a trip from Frankfurt to Munich, Germany. Deutsche Bahn’s Inter-City Express train service is an obvious first choice, but at an average price of €80 one-way*, it’s an expensive option.
At €113 one-way, flying is also expensive and requires getting to and from the airport, security lines and all the stress that goes with modern air travel. That makes rideshare a really interesting option. The initial release of ridesharing features offers from BlaBlaCar and Carpooling.com. We plan to expand geographic coverage for rideshare across Europe and into other markets over the coming months.
About The Rideshare Market Rod Cuthbert. Dissecting user engagement of Rome2rio's transport images - Rome2rio. In July we launched our Transport Images feature which displays insightful photographs of trains, buses and ferries on Rome2rio. Not sure if that ferry between Kuala Besut and Perhentian Besar is a leaky boat or a sophisticated catamaran? Do you reeeaaally want to spend 22 hours on that bus from Buenos Aires to Bariloche? Transit images provide information and re-assurance when venturing somewhere new with operators you’ve never heard of before.
Frankly, we weren’t sure how popular this feature would be, but it hasn’t taken long for users to show their approval: over three quarters of a million images are being viewed each week, after only two months on the site. We love analyzing data and discovering how users are interacting with our site, and we were naturally thrilled to observe this level of popularity, with hover rates on the images ranging from 20 – 40%. We extracted the results from Google Analytics and manually classified images into different categories. Co-founder & CEO. Adds sights & activities and how to get to them - Rome2rio. Rome2rio is described by many of our users as a trip planner – an essential tool for early, high-level crafting of the itinerary for your trip. When we thinking about trip planning, we think of three key elements: Where to go and how do I get there? (transport)What can and see and do once I’m there? (sights and activities)Where am I going to stay? (accommodation) Our focus at Rome2rio is providing a comprehensive solution to (1).
We’ve continued to develop and improve our hotel search experience, which helps when planning (3). We’re excited to launch our new sights & activities feature today. Attractions and colour coded with a range of categories including amusement parks, museums, parks, lighthouses, churches, dams, aquariums, sculptures, theaters, memorials and waterfalls. Hover over an attraction to view the details including a photo, description, and directions to the attraction from your current search destination. No doubt the feature will improve with time. Co-founder & CEO. On its way out, Commercialisation Australia extends our grant - Rome2rio. Back in December 2012 we wrote about our success with the Commercialisation Australia (CA) program, after we were awarded a grant of $385,000 to help us commercialise our technology.
CA has now approved a significant extension, for a total of $1.2m, to our original grant. The funds will be used to bolster our development team, underpin the continued growth of our content, and generally assist the process of making Rome2rio the world’s leading multi-modal travel search engine. The timing of this grant could not have been more finely tuned: we made our application just after a Federal Election, with the new Government hinting that they would review the entire CA grant scheme, and possibly eliminate it altogether. Our application went to the CA Board in February, at a time when CA themselves did not know their fate. We were in the dark not only about the Board’s decision, but also about whether it would be funded even if it had been approved. Written by Rod Cuthbert. Transportation images add real value to search results - Rome2rio. Besides demonstrating that an A380 is a lot bigger and probably more comfortable than a 737, there’s not a lot of consumer value in showing an image of the airplane in a search result.
Most of us know what to expect when we fly; we’re familiar with the planes, and with the on-board experience. But that’s not the case when it comes to other forms of transportation. At Rome2rio, we suspect many people choose to fly even when apparently better (lower cost, more comfortable, faster door-to-door) options are available. The same goes for train travelers and self-drivers, who might be reluctant to choose bus or rideshare, even in cases where those options offer real benefits over their usual choice. Therein lies the reasoning behind Rome2rio’s new Transportation Images feature, which is being progressively rolled out. This example demonstrates how the Transportation Images feature is integrated into our search results: Modern buses compete with trains for luxury, and often beat them on price.
Comparing coverage: Google Maps, GoEuro & Rome2rio head to head - Rome2rio. Since our launch four years ago we’ve been passionate about making Rome2rio a truly global travel search site. That means having coverage so complete that Rome2rio can help users discover how to get anywhere by any mode of transport rather than how to get most places in countries X, Y and Z by modes of transport A, B and C but only with operators D, E and F. The way we see it, incomplete coverage is a little like a street directory with a bunch of pages missing. That’s why we’ve gone to great lengths to import as many routes and operators into Rome2rio as possible. We’ve developed web crawlers, data feed importers and manual data entry tools, all managed by our global team of transport researchers. The result is a database covering some 800,000 routes and over 4,700 transport operators.
So, how does our coverage compare to others in this space? The Competition The Test Results The initial test was based on a randomly selected sample of 25 queries from our own search logs. Co-founder & CEO. Our coverage blossoms: even in South America - Rome2rio. When describing Rome2rio to someone new, it was common to hear “Ah brilliant! I can use this for my upcoming trip to South America”. But I couldn’t help but cringe on the inside at that response. Rome2rio’s South America coverage had always been lacking. Whilst the site would still show flight, drive and taxi options, no multi-modal search experience is complete without bus, train and ferry options. That’s all changing thanks to our growing content team. Kate currently has 11 data researchers working on adding South America content to Rome2rio.
This image provides an overview of our South America coverage today. Another region where our content has greatly improved recently is Greece and Turkey. We’re making good progress in Asia too. Finally we’ve continued to drastically improve our coverage in Italy. Our content team is now adding over 200 routes a day to Rome2rio. We are also looking forward to observing changes in user behavior as coverage grows. Written by Michael Cameron. Print search results feature launched today - Rome2rio. To present at Berlin's ITB next month - Rome2rio. Rome2rio CEO Rod Cuthbert is making one of the keynote presentations at the upcoming ITB / PhoCusWright Conference, to be held in Berlin on March 5th. Titled “Multi-Modal Travel Search Has Arrived… Now What?” The presentation will offer a wide-ranging overview of the marketplace, including the key players in the space and the various challenges they face in promoting industry-wide adoption of multi-modal search.
[youtube Among the sites featured in Rod’s analysis will be Waymate, GoEuro, FromAtoB, Routerank, Wanderio and SNCF’s Mytripset. Rod will examine their strategies, areas of focus and the unique attributes of each of the sites. He’ll also be talking about the relative complexity of multi-modal search vs. the prevailing “air-only” search model, and discuss why it’s understandable that multi-modal search solutions have taken so long to emerge. Written by Rod Cuthbert Executive Chairman of Rome2rio. Retreats north to Townsville - Rome2rio. Last year the Rome2rio team decided to escape Melbourne’s drab winter for a week by setting up shop at Palm Cove (near Cairns in Australia’s far north). That company retreat resulted in the development and launch of Rome2rio’s hotel feature, which has been a big success and has since become an integral part of the site.
This year we decided to do it again by spending two weeks in Townsville. The Australis Mariners North Apartments provided an ideal base for work and Townsville offered plenty for the team and their families to do in their spare time, such as trips to nearby Magnetic Island and walks up Castle Hill. We took the opportunity to focus on ideas, features and analysis that we wouldn’t normally have time to work on. The most significant project was the development of a new sights & activities component for Rome2rio. By the end of the retreat the team had developed a compelling prototype, which we plan to ship soon. We also took the opportunity to conduct a relevance analysis.
11 new features on Rome2rio - Rome2rio. Whilst we are continually adding new functionality to Rome2rio, most of our improvements do not warrant a blog post or announcement in their own right. So, here’s a quick summary of 11 recent additions to the Rome2rio website: Directions to the hotel Rome2rio’s integrated hotel display now includes an important new component; when you hover over a property, the travel time to that hotel, from the current search destination, is displayed. We expect that knowing their transport options to and from the property will give users the confidence to book properties that are a bit further from the center of town.
Hotel filters Speaking of hotels, we’ve also added a range of filters to our hotel search feature. You can now filter properties by price, star rating, type, user review score and facilities such as a fitness centre or indoor pool. Intermediate stops Events on the homepage More transport options Improved mobile experience We’ve continued to improve our mobile web experience.
