Research is underway to solve the traffic problem by using crowdsourcing, where drivers use their mobile devices to provide traffic information. If it is used for traffic event detection through crowdsourcing, the task of collecting related data is reduced, which lowers time cost and increases accuracy. In this paper, we propose a scheme to collect traffic-related data using crowdsourcing and to detect events affecting traffic through this. The proposed scheme uses machine learning algorithms for processing large amounts of data to determine the event type of the collected data. In addition, to find out the location where the event occurs, a keyword indicating the location is extracted from the collected data, and the administrative area of the keyword is returned. In this way, it is possible to resolve a location that is broadly defined in the existing location information or incorrect location information. Various performance evaluations are performed to prove the superiority and feasibility of the proposed scheme.

While new service development has become one of the most popular topics among practitioners and academics, methodologies development for new service development is only in its infancy. Especially, despite the growing interests in open innovations that effectively utilize external resources for R&D, existing research on new service development methodology designed to use external resources is scant. This article proposes a new methodology to generate new service business models that utilize massive external resources in combination with internal resources using ICT. The "Open Collaboration Innovation Methodology (OCIM)" is built based upon the theory of open innovation model and social psychology theories on behavioral motivation for cooperation. The model begins with the procedures to identify external resources that meet service objectives and requirements, and suggests motivation, control and monitoring mechanisms to implement a new service model. A business case is followed to demonstrate the use of the model. We expect that this model can be practically used by companies that are planning for developing new business models, and will provide a better understanding on open collaboration models, collective intelligence and crowd sourcing models.

One kind of crowdsourcing techniques which allow drivers to collect and provide traffic information using smartphones and applications is being introduced to ITS system as well. The introduction of crowdsourcing techniques requires changes in the existing ITS based on Insourcing which provide traffic information generated by detectors through VMS. ITS Information have had two problems, one is the high cost and the other is an interrupted service. Experts expect crowdsourcing technique which is created SNS, will overcome problems of ITS. But, there are not many examples and research results. Crowdsourcing technique was utilized in Jeju ATMS project to install ITS on the coastal round roads around Jeju since ITS to install point detectors turned out to be non-economic method in case of the coastal round roads with low traffic volume. However, there existed links in which traffic information cannot be generated as there were no smartphone users (crowds) even in the cost-effective crowdsourcing techniques, which indicates the fact that the crowdsourcing method is suitable for urban roads with many smartphone users, but not for local minor roads. On the contrary, insourcing-based ITS is considered to be non-economic method in applying to all roads in the city, but it can be effectively utilized in the local minor roads. Accordingly, Inter-sourcing based ITS operating system in which insourcing is connected with crowdsourcing was suggested in this study.

This paper examines the rising value of social networked journalism and analyzes the case of a social news site based on the theory of networked journalism. Social networked journalism allows the public to be involved in every aspect of journalism production through crowd-sourcing and interactivity. The networking effect with the public is driving journalism to transform into a more open, more networked and more responsive venue. "wikitree" is a social networking news service on which anybody can write news and disseminate it via Facebook and Twitter. It is operated as an open sourced program which incorporates "Google Translate" to automatically convert all its content, enabling any global citizen with an Internet access to contribute news production and share either their own creative contents or generated contents from other sources. Since its inception, "wikitree global" site has been expanding its coverage rapidly with access points arising from 160 countries. Analyzing its international coverage by country and by news category as well as by the unique visit numbers via SNS, the results of the case study imply that networking with the global public can enhance news traffic to the social news site as well as to specific news items. The results also suggest that the utilization of Twitter and Facebook in social networked journalism can break the boundary between local and global public by extending news-gathering ability while growing audience's interest in the site, and engender a feasible business model for a local online journalism.

Those who travel to another area for work or travel acquire cquire information through various media such as Internet websites before going to the area. The way to determine whether the information you collect is reliable is to go directly to that area. However, many users may overlook the date the post was posted. when you arrive at a delicious restaurant for a travel purpose, it can happen that the restaurant is gone. In order for Smartphone Users to be able to provide reliable information about a specific region through an application, it is possible to receive information from a specific local user using the application through crowd sourcing techniques. Collect suggestions from users when there are changes in the same area, rather than accepting indiscriminate information and when duplicate content exists, it is marked on the application map so that it can be viewed by other users. It provides not only simple restaurant information, but also area-specific information such as additional information about tourist attractions or information on restrooms to solve physiological phenomena that may occur in the area where they first arrive. Application users can get information about nearby public facilities and restaurants on a GPS basis.
