Abstract:
Distributed muster includes distributing to different mobile devices an identity of an assigned muster location of an ocean-going vessel, and associating each mobile device both with a corresponding passenger of the ocean-going vessel, and also with the assigned muster location. Thereafter, a timer initiates that defines a period during which a muster drill must be completed by all of the passengers and, in response, a message is transmitted to each mobile device that the muster drill has commenced. During the period, as each mobile device is sensed within a geographically defined area of a correspondingly assigned muster location, a record of the completion of the muster drill by the passenger associated with the sensed mobile device is recorded in the memory. As well, subsequent to a lapsing of the timer, a listing is displayed of any passenger not recorded as having completed the muster drill.

Abstract:
A system and method of characterizing crowd users that participate in crowd-sourced jobs based on responses to the jobs, and scheduling their participation based on user-indicated schedules of user availability or system-predicted schedules of user availability. A system may determine a level of quality of a response to a crowd job. The system may use the determined quality of response to determine a reward. The system may schedule a crowd user's participation in a future crowd job. The user may be identified based on the quality of previous responses provided by the user. The system may schedule the user's participation based on explicit input from the user indicating availability and/or based on a system-predicted availability of the user. When the future crowd job is or will be deployed, the system may provide the user with instructions to participate and/or otherwise provide the user with the crowd job.
Abstract:
System and method for assessing liability/accountability of a driver or a driver assistance technology in a vehicle is disclosed. One or more components used to assist a driver and to collect information of the driver and the vehicle is identified. The one or more components comprise driver assistance technologies and on-board diagnostic systems. After identifying, the information is analysed to create a plurality of scenarios based on one or more factors. Subsequently, a first score and a second score is calculated corresponding to activation of each of the driver assistance technologies and the driving behaviour in the plurality of driving scenarios. Subsequently, the plurality of driving scenarios is classified into one of a technology priority mode and a driver priority mode based on the analysis, the first score and the second score. Based on the classification, a liability of the driver/driver assistance technology is assessed and recommendations are processed.
