Street mapping, object detection and traffic load assessment from SVIs and field data using YOLOv3, machine learning and GIS

Street View Imageries (SVIs) facilitates street mapping, extraction and examination of elements from human’s perspective to aid for navigation and better understanding the real time loads on streets. We have selected an unplanned, densely populated residential place with 5 to 6 floor buildings in Batla House, New Delhi where street-level mapping and object detection using Google Street View Application (GSVA) is of high significance. We mapped 82 streets, spanning 14.2 km, and published the videos on GSVA. The objects were detected and classified with an accuracy of 94.2% and 91.4% respectively by YOLOv3 predefined model through ARC-GIS API for Python from the series of images. Our analysis show satisfactory association of human (R2 = 0.77), motor bike (R2 = 0.45) and cars/auto rickshaw (R2 = 0.58) with street width during afternoon hour. The SVIs and real-time objects detection using ML, GIS and field-assisted data combinatorial approach is more feasible for streetscape in unplanned settlements.

Post-Diagnosis

Post-Diagnosis Bill King (bio) When I moved to this town, there was a man who shuffled upand down the drag—slow as a tugboat pulling an invisible load.His head slumped but he kept his blue twill work shirt ironed and matching pants cinched tight. Once, when I passed himon the street and nodded, he stopped, looked me in the eyes,and made the sound of a kid-size motor bike that goes round and round. Now, I understand that no one really understands.It's why, at the end of the block, rather than leaning into the turnas I have for years, I keep going, into a field hemmed and humming with rose. Once cleared for cows that sunk fetlock deepin this creek, now it's blackberry and wingstem. Here and therea pokeweed—blood red and heavy with fruit. You have to find a deer trail through—a chest-high crease that catches at clothing,then closes behind as you go. Today is hot and humid. Cicada,like a pressure canner thrumming on the stove, and over that, the cry of two sharp-shins, then crows. Like them, I want to tellyou what I feel. I want words to see me through. In the coolof the wood, a young doe watches. She's waiting for me to move. [End Page 68] Bill King Bill King grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

INFLUENCE OF SECURITY MANAGEMENT MECHANISM IN ADDRESSING EMERGING BODA-BODA SECURITY THREATS IN CHANGAMWE SUB-COUNTY, MOMBASA COUNTY, KENYA

This paper uses data collected for an MA Thesis on the influence of security management mechanism in addressing emerging Boda-Boda security threats in Changamwe Sub-County in Mombasa County, Kenya. The study has been necessitated by the conception that management of Boda-Boda security threats will significantly lower Annual crime patterns like terror attacks, kidnappings, robberies, target violent crimes among others. According to this study, the sector operated without proper regulation and or control. The study was guided by three specific objectives; to establish the types of emerging Boda-Boda security threats prevalent in Changamwe Sub-County, to examine perceptions of security personnel on emerging Boda-Boda security threats, and to establish security management mechanism adopted by security personnel in addressing Boda-Boda Security threats in Changamwe Sub-County in Mombasa County. This study was focused by crime pattern and Routine Activity Theory. The study comprised of 144 respondents. Stratified random sampling method and purposive sampling techniques were used to select respondents and descriptive statistics used in data analysis. According to the study, the main types of Boda-Boda related crimes prevalent in Changamwe Sub-County were robberies, thefts, kidnappings, murders and other forms of gun violence. One of the major perceptions of emerging security threat is that of motor bike related gang that has increased vulnerability of many businesses and targets due to their disguised surveillance on unsuspecting victims and targets. According to the study Boda-Boda related crimes are largely under regulated. As one of the major policy concerns, concerted efforts by the Government and the Private sector to come up with preventive social programmes such as economic empowerment and alcohol and drug control programmes that will potentially avert the identified pushing factors responsible for rampant Boda-Boda sector related crimes; Poverty and alcohol consumption and drug use. Social programmes may also come up with mechanisms of social justice to supplement government enforcement mechanisms. Finally, National Police Service should increase intelligence and surveillance of the sub-sector to identify crime patterns, trends and hot spots in order to cut this problem at the nib.

POTENTIAL FOR CO2 EMISSIONS IN TRANSPORTATION SECTOR AND REDUCTION STRATEGIES ANALYSIS RELATED TO GREENHOUSE GAS IN SEMARANG

Semarang is the capital of Central Java Province and also one of the metropolitan city in Indonesia with population of 1,559,198 (Semarang in Number 2012). The high number of population and economic growth has an attraction for the community activities in Semarang and surrounding. Moreover, with the spatial planning concept which provide residential areas and commercial activities and services spread all over Semarang, it increase the distance and activities needs. One of the most influenced sectors with the increasing activities is the transportation sector. It can be seen by the increasing number of private vehicles and congestion in almost all main roads. In the Climate Change issue, one of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contributor is the transport sector. Based on Semarang in Number 2012, with the year 2010 as a base line for emission count, it showed that the number of private car as many as 33,523 vehicles, oplet/microbus 859 vehicles, motor bikes 119,019 vehicles, buses 443 vehicles, trucks 913 vehicles and taxi as many as 1,265 vehicles. These numbers of vehicles was served by 2,786.28 kilometers of road which consists of national, provincial and municipal road, and also by the local road for about 2,691 kilometers. The total fuel consumption for the activities of those vehicles is 302,928.00 litre of Premium and 154,925,500 litre of solar. From the data presented,we calculated that the CO2 Emissions is 111,020,367 ton CO2e. From the data above, private cars and motorcycles reached 97% of the total transportation used in Semarang. With a considerable amount of transportation emission of 1,110,204 ton CO2e, the effect on climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) are quite high. Therefore,Semarang city needs a sustainable transportation strategy to reduce emission form the transport sector, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operation, use of fuel gas, and integrated public transportation systems that will make people interested in using public transportation. From the operations of BRT system in Semarang, with three corridors from 2010- 2014, as many as 9,169,925 people are served by BRT (Dishubkominfo, 2014). Seeing from this condition, the need to increase integrated transportation system to decrease people from using private vehicles which in turn reduce CO2 emissions in Semarang become increasingly important.

Economic Challenges Compromising Resilience to the War against COVID-19 among Border Communities in Busia County, Kenya

By March 2020, the pandemic had spread to both developed and third world countries. These countries reported multiple cases of the virus within their borders, and deaths related to the virus. This study sought to establish the economic challenges that compromise the war against COVID-19 among border communities in Busia County. The study was conducted in the two major border points comprising Busia and Malaba towns. In Busia town, the study was carried out in the entire Matayos and Nambale sub counties, while in Malaba town the study was conducted in Teso South and Teso North Sub Counties. The respondents included motor bike riders and small scale traders in the identified Sub Counties. Stratified and simple random sampling methods were used to select a representative sample of the population with the aid of lists of registered members of the motor bike riders and small scale traders. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect data from the respondents. In the analysis done, the respondents to the questionnaires included the small scale traders and motor bike riders. It was established that the poverty levels had risen even higher than usual and a number of them could not make ends meet. Daily income for small scale traders had reduced drastically and some had closed part of their business due to lack of customers. This is because of government stringent measures, such as: curfews ban on cross-border trade and social distancing which affected business activities. The small scale traders did not receive any support from the government or well-wishers to revamp their business.

Urethral strictures have historically been managed with suprapubic tubes, periodic dilation, or 1 or more attempts at urethroplasty that often fail. A United States - Vietnam outreach relationship was established to improve treatment success and decrease the societal burden of urethral stricture disease. We report the impact of this partnership METHODS: A Faculty Urologist at a major Vietnamese teaching hospital (Binh Dan Hospital in HCMC) with an interest in developing expertise in urethroplasty was identified. The Urologist travelled to the United States to receive observational exposure to urethral imaging and surgery. In addition, yearly 2-week trips were established from 2014-present. The initial focus was patient evaluation, urethral imaging (retrograde urethrogram and voiding cystourethrogram), and decision making. This included the first use of flexible cystoscopes in Vietnam. The subsequent focus was operative, mostly anastomotic urethroplasty, with the mentor-mentee. IVUmed provided 2-3 Resident Scholarships for each outreach trip. Binh Dan hospital was provided urethroplasty specific instruments and their first flexible cystoscope. An imaging and follow-up protocol was established which included 4-month cystoscopy to assess outcomes. A database was created to prospectively evaluate success rate over the 2016-2020 study period. RESULTS: Bulbar anastomotic urethroplasty was performed in 97 men. Of the 40 that returned for 4-month cystoscopy, there were 5 recurrences (success rate=87.5%). Posterior urethroplasty for PFUI was performed in 101 men. Of the 74 that returned for 4-month cystoscopy, with 32/74 of those being revision surgery, there were 4 recurrences (success rate=94.6%) with 3 of the 4 failures in re-do cases. With a mean follow-up (defined as time interval between surgery and most recent visit) of 5.0 months (bulbar) and 9.5 months (PFUI), there were no additional recurrences identified, defined as obstructive symptoms or need for intervention. CONCLUSIONS: In Vietnam, the development of an international partnership at a hospital with the necessary infrastructure has been associated with the establishment of a high success rate for bulbar and posterior urethroplasty.

The hill rubber plantation is the first rubber plantation in the Rao Nagari Taruang-Taruang district, Pasaman regency. The hil rubber plantation at this facility was estaplished in 1996. This plantation is the only source of livehood for the local farmers. Which after it was founded in 1996, this rubber plantation has an impact on the sosio- economy of the community. By making a living as a rubber farmer, the community can fulfil their daily needs. Rubber farmers work from morning to evening. Rubber tapping starts from 6 am to 11 pm, if we look at it from the point of view of their daily lives as rubber farmers, they can buy motor bikes, renovate houses, and send their children to school as hingh as possible. After the existence of the hill rubber plantation, this facility had a lot of impact on other areas which later made rubber plantations such as the hill rubber plantions.
 Keywords: The socio-economic development of the hill rust plantations.

A Yaounde – Kigali Experience Sharing for Harmonious City Biking Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa

Salvaging motorbike calamities and urban chaos would not only safeguard lives but achieve urban tranquility in Yaounde and Cameroon. The disorder in this transport sector observed in Yaounde can be uncurled and riders called to order as solution to the chaos accrued. This article exposes the shortcomings of biking transport as inadequate training and reckless riding have led to the urban chaos and calamities observed. If it does not occur from high speed, perhaps it would be a mentality problem. Some 140 questionnaires were administered to motor bike riders, clients, and transport authorities in Yaounde. Field observation and interview sessions were organized to have first-hand information on calamities in the city. Hotbed neighbourhoods of accidents were captured through a GPS and transformed into maps and tables. An in-depth documentary research at the Ministry of Transport and its delegations as well as the national institute of statistics was done to have data for analysis. Findings adhere to the fact that total identification of riders, mandatory use of helmets for rider and passenger as well as stringent speed limits with unadorned sanctions can be used to address the situation. This paper advocates that the Kigali experience in the management and control of motor bike transport be shared in Yaounde so as to reduce, if not curb urban mayhem and wanton accidents.

Application of IOT for Human Safety on Road

Two wheelers (motor bikes) are most used easy and economic means of transportation and it also has become unsafe because of the tremendous increase of road accidents. When two-wheeler met with an accident, it is difficult to spot the neighborhood of the accident and mammoth loss occurs due to time factor. This paper presents Internet of Things based accident detection and prevention system. This is a novel system divided into four parts: first to identify the accident to send signal to emergency center along with location using Arduino based Global Positioning System and Global System for Mobile Communication and remaining are to warn to prevent the accidents like an accelerometer to determine the velocity and tilt of the vehicle, Infrared sensor to detect any obstacles and an alcohol sensor.

The role of extention participation on risk taking behavior of local elites and the coffee agroforestry farmer’s income: A case study at Social Forest Community on Batutegi Forest Mangement Unit, Lampung Province

The objective of the reserach was to elucidate the role of extention participation on enhancing risk taking behavior of the economic lost of the local elites group as the basic of triggering coffee agroforesty farmer’s income beside both social capital and physical capital. The elite, in this study, is difined every one that exhibits 3 charactericts or behavior i.e. risk taker talent, leading in coffee agroforest practice, and expressing good performance in coffee bean post harvesting. The research was conducted in July-August 2020 at the at community forest on Batutegi Forest Mangement Unit (BFMU) of Lampung Province. Data collecting were carried out in 4 steps: (i) interviewing the manager of BFMU to find the prior infomation around the probable local elites existed in the community, (ii) validating the probable elites by visting door to door and made observation about their pioneering especially for (ii.a) forest covering performance of their land, (ii.b) post harvesting management of coffee fruit, (c) measuring their talent of risk taking characteristic. The the critrium of the steps (ii.a) was farmers whose land exhibits covering by canopy trimber wood estimated of more than 30%, and the criterium for step (ii.b) the farmer who threats their coffee fruits in post harvesting management according to Indonesian National Standard # 01-2907-2008 that revised based on the Resolution of ICO 407. Having founded both criteria, we then carried out the (iii) measuring risk taking level on economics lost for every local elites group using a modivited guide line of DOSPERT on 3 level of scales: strong, medium and low. We got 46 people being recognized as the local elites, besides 77 people who cathagorized non elites. We also collected the data of their participtaion in extention, social capital (norm, trust, and network) and the physical capitals (land acreage holding, and motor bike or car ownership). Step (iv) We employed Ordinal Logistic Regression Model to demonstrate the effect of extention to risk taking behavior at confident level of 5 and 10%. We further employed the Ordinary Least Square to examine the role of local elites group, social capital, and physical capital on the [Y_AGFR]. The research suggested that the extension partisipation was the only effective way in enhancing risk taking behavior of economic lost of the local elites [R_ECONM]. The [R_ECONM] could enhance the the coffee agroforestry farmer’s income [Y_AGRF] significantly accompanied by their social capital but not by physical capital.

Should Ghana Legalize the Commercial Use of Motor Bikes and Tricycles as Means of Public Transport? A Case Study of Five Selected Regions in Ghana

In the wave of raging debate, even on the floor of parliament, as to whether it would be expedient to commercialize Bikes’ usage in Ghana, it is important to look at its benefits or otherwise. Hence, the study sought to show whether Ghana should legalize the commercial use of motor cycles and tricycles operations. The design was a descriptive study which used quantitative tool to show public acceptance or rejection of commercializing the use of motorcycles and tricycles in Ghana. The study was based on the use of questionnaires for the data collection and were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The sample population considered was Five (5) Regions in Ghana which are Central, Greater Accra, Bono, Bono East and Northern Regions. Questionnaires of 460 were drawn for the study. It was found out, among others, that many of the riders do not possess licenses; riders are aware of robbery incidents perpetuated by their colleagues; police harassments and passenger pressure are strong reasons for not observing traffic regulations; unfavorable road architecture; the activity is a good source of income. It was therefore recommended that, the okada/pragia/keke/motor king/motor kia operations should be legalized for commercial use with regulations and strict compliance by actors or operators.

Travel Time Comparison Using Google Map and OSM Tracker

In India, people’s socio-economic characteristics in society have changed over the decades which have resulted in increase of vehicle ownership at a huge rate which poses a lot of problem in both traffic control and management system. In the area where continuation is impossible, congestion can be overcome by managing and controlling the traffic. There are major developments in ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) which needs travel time as a major input. Measure the quality of any transportation network travel time is a very popular parameter. The estimation of travel time in urban network became more difficult because of the rapid change in the system and traffic. Emerging technologies such as GPS which become widely available within the last decade, can offer promising improvements in traffic monitoring technologies. Probe vehicles equipped with relatively cheap devices provide researchers with vast amounts of disaggregate traffic data that can be easily used for determining link travel speeds. This study is done in order to estimate the impact of different travel modes on travel time with different day. Data has been collected in a study stretch of 8.1 km length in Khardaha to Dunlop more, KOLKATA using mobile GPS application (OSM tracker in android Operating System) . Different private modes of transportation such as motor bike, bus and car have been used as test vehicle for the collection of data in different traffic flow scenarios in different times and also days. Latitude, longitude, speed and the travelled path at one second interval has been extracted from the GPS application. After completing a data collection, data extracted from the Osm Tracker that is GPX file to convert the value into Excel format. The travel time and average speed of different modes has been compared and the effect of vehicle composition on travel time and average speed has been analyzed.
