Learning Management System in Education via Mobile App: Trends and Patterns in Mobile Learning

The mobile revolution has influenced students’ preferences for various educational platforms in the new digital era, especially regarding young learners’ utilization of mobile devices such as smartphones, iPads, and other gadgets for mobile learning (m-learning). Because of this, universities that implement learning management systems (LMS) through standard web-based platforms should explore the potential for integrating mobile devices and technologies into m-learning platforms. Through the utilization of this technology, LMS can facilitate continuous user interaction and enhance user awareness of any revisions made to the material. To reach the majority of LMS users, mobile applications must be developed for all major mobile platforms. By utilizing the Web View API, this research combined native mobile and web technologies to develop the mobile application. This strategy was adopted in anticipation of the requirement to create and maintain the application across multiple mobile platforms. It was anticipated that this approach would reduce the time needed for creation, maintain a consistent interface, and enable the use of platform-specific features. It also makes sense to provide mobile device access to some of the LMS virtual classroom’s functions. The K-means algorithm is used for analyzing course material and learning. Nevertheless, achieving this goal might not be an easy process. To enable this form of connection between the LMS and the m-learning applications, this chapter assesses the challenges involved in achieving that goal and presents various common interchange designs and related research and development efforts.

Usefulness and challenges of distance learning system in classical music

Predicting Wear under Boundary Lubrication: A Decisive Statistical Study

The forthcoming revolution in mobility and the use of lubricants to ensure ecological friendliness intensifies the pressure on tribology for predictors in new life cycles, mainly addressing wear. The current paper aims to obtain such predictors by studying how the wear processes that occur in a standard FE8 bearing test rig under thin film lubrication are conducted by the properties of the lubricant rather than simple viscosity parameters. Assuming that the activity of a lubricant with respect to the temperature, surface, and chemicals is a matter of its chemical potential, the results show that the nature of the base oil is a key parameter, apart from the chemical structure of the additives. Moreover, it becomes clear that chemical predictors are changing by altering the conditions they are exposed to. As an important result, the lubricant is effective in the prevention of wear if it has the capacity to uptake and transmit electrical charges due to its polarisability during a wear process.

Identifying urban stress and bicycle infrastructure relationships: a mixed-methods citizen-science approach

ABSTRACT Active mobility is considered a key aspect of the mobility revolution and is therefore elementary in combating the climate crisis. However, a lot of research is needed to improve the situation of active mobility, especially concerning inhibiting factors in the choice of active means of transport. For reasons such as the high volume and speed of motorised traffic, heavy noise, and pollution levels, urban space is often associated with increased stress. The generation and provision of stress data are therefore of particularly high importance for urban planning. The citizen-science approach of the BMDV 1 - project ESSEM implements a triangulating approach that uses biological markers and standardized questionnaires to make statements about individual ‘stress’. In the future, this should help identify vulnerable groups and better address them in project development and planning. The presented study describes the use of participatory methods based on three ‘stress hotspots’ in Osnabrück, taking into account different forms of cycling infrastructure.

A strategic analysis model of residents’ travel demand for Shanghai 2035 under new technology

Mobility is a vast and comprehensive system where many new multimodal technology revolutions occur. To make strategies of sustainable development, policy makers particularly focus on the residents’ trip scenarios in the long-term future affected by policies but not the extreme accuracy of the predictions. In this paper, we construct a strategic and integrated model of residents’ travel demand and trip pattern based on system dynamics methods. Changes from and relationships between policies, markets and consumers under electrification, automation and sharing revolution in mobility have been considered in this model. This model follows the utility methods in travel cost calculation from MARS and retains the original framework of travel pattern. Moreover, it includes new modes and models under technology revolutions such as (1) new sharing patterns: paratransit; (2) new travel modes: customized shuttle bus and sharing cars and (3) new vehicle models: EVs and Avs. As using the three-level classification system of ownership—mode—model, this strategic analysis model demonstrated a comprehensive structure of future mobility. The validity of model was verified through a case study of Shanghai 2035 with three scenarios developed under possible policy directions.

Scooter Stories: User and Non-User Experiences of a Shared E-Scooter Trial

E-scooters are the fastest-growing form of micro-mobility, riding a wave of popularity in recent years; in may cities, they have sparked something akin to an urban personal mobility revolution. Despite their popularity, e-scooters raise several challenges for policymakers and transport providers, and are a divisive mode on the streets. Reports of conflict and tension around e-scooters' safety are common. In addition, there are questions about what mode trips e-scooters are substituting. However, to date there remain few academic studies into user and non-user experiences. This study focused on a UK e-scooter trial, using a mixed methods approach to collect data from 222 participants. The focus of this paper's analysis is on participants' qualitative "scooter stories", supported by quantitative data that provides broader insight into the scooters' use and demographic patterns. We find that on the positive side, e-scooters are useful, affordable, enjoyable and flexible; they provide a viable alternative to some urban car trips and can be linked to active travel. However, whist scooters are sometimes replacing car trips, they are more often substituting walking or cycling, a challenging finding from a health and sustainability perspective. E-scooters exacerbate conflicts between users of urban space: we explore legality, safety of riders and non-riders, impacts on pavement and road space, intoxicated riding, and more. We present our findings in the context of sustainable urban mobility policy, making recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders seeking to mitigate the impacts of e-scooters, and harness the sustainable mobility benefits of this popular new mode.

EVTOLs and vertiports: Operations and infrastructure for a new and sustainable way to fly

The world is on the cusp of a zero-carbon revolution in urban mobility. Within a few years, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) and vertiports will be operational across the globe. This is new, uncharted territory which needs some guidelines to help airport operators understand the commercial impetus behind vertiport development, and what eVTOL operators believe this new market needs. In particular, airports will want to know how they can connect to, and benefit from, urban air mobility. This paper describes the three main business models that eVTOL operators are working towards. It explains why vertiport designers must accommodate all those approaches and more. It then goes into some detail describing the factors that influence the selection and development of a vertiport location, together with the operational and regulatory requirements. This paper emphasises the importance of working with local communities because a vertiport network can only be effective if it is embedded in the community. Throughout the paper, there is a particular emphasis on the role that airport operators can play in helping to build this new industry. It shows how they can tap into this market to improve their own connectivity, ease local congestion and potentially open up routes to new groups of passengers.

Reconfigurable Holographic Surface-Enabled Multi-User Wireless Communications: Amplitude-Controlled Holographic Beamforming

The future sixth generation (6G) networks look forward to providing revolutionary mobile connectivity and high-throughput data services through low-cost communication devices. Benefiting from the programmability and tunability of metamaterials, the reconfigurable holographic surface (RHS) inlaid with numerous metamaterial radiation elements shows its great potential to achieve such a bold vision. By leveraging the holographic principle, the RHS serves as an ultra-thin and lightweight antenna integrated with the transceiver to generate desirable directional beams with low hardware cost and power consumption. In this paper, we consider a downlink RHS-aided multi-user communication system where a base station (BS) equipped with an RHS transmits signals to users. We propose an RHS-based hybrid beamforming scheme where the digital beamforming and the holographic beamforming are performed at the BS and RHS, respectively, together with the receive combining at each user. We formulate a sum-rate maximization problem for RHS-based hybrid beamforming and decompose it into three sub-problems. A joint sum-rate maximization algorithm is then developed to solve the sub-problems in an alternating manner. Simulation results show that based on the proposed RHS-aided hybrid beamforming scheme, a moderate-sized RHS is enough to achieve a satisfactory sum-rate, which is also higher than a same-sized phased array can achieve.

Heuristic‐Based Architecting for Autonomous Vehicle Systems

AbstractHumans have always had a need to improve travel, whether that be for ourselves or for the goods we need. Technological advancements have all fundamentally performed the task of moving people and goods with the objective to continuously improve convenience and be more efficient. There is another pending revolution in human mobility, one that is leading towards autonomous transportation where the human driver is replaced, and the driving of the vehicle is performed autonomously by machine. With continued research and technology, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have started to implement autonomous enabled features to transform today's vehicles traveling our roads into driverless vehicles. This paper evaluates the fundamental problem of architecting a system responsible of transporting occupants and cargo from point A to point B via autonomous vehicles (AVs) and compares it to current architecture being proposed/produced by OEMs. The work begins by studying the user needs of an AV and mapping those needs to required system functions. Then, guiding heuristics and lessons learned are used to critique the current architecture. The results show that the current OEM approach is to simply create smarter vehicles within a non‐intelligent infrastructure, and the authors, when guided by system architecting heuristics, suggest that development of an elegant, robust, long‐term AV system will require a significant increase in scope to a higher system level than the OEMs appear to be addressing at the present time.

Potential accessibility to the workplace by public transit and its social distribution in Lille, France: A scenario-based equity appraisal

In this paper, we appraise the social equity of urban mobility policy following Levinson and Krizek's (2018) and Zelinski's (1971) principles of “mobility revolution” and “time geography” and building on recommendations from the European Consortium on Transport Equity analysis (TEA COST Action, 2012). From the database of professional trips made within the 85 municipalities of Lille metropole in 2016, we calculate and set the potential accessibility to the workplace by public transport (PT) at the municipal level, as the ‘good to redistribute’. This allows us to identify the municipalities the most lagging behind, based on the household motorisation rate as well as the potential jobs reachable via the PT system. Then, starting from general observations on sociodemographic differences among commuters to access the job market, we aggregate this indicator at the scale of commuter groups – by gender, household structure, educational background, socio-professional category, and immigration status, defining the ‘members of the society’. Lastly, to test our results and in consultation with local transport authorities, we simulate a reduction of the PT commuting times from the least served municipalities of 10% and then 25%. We analyse the effects of our scenarios on the number and value of the accessible jobs gained, per commuter group, as well as considering different subsets of the municipalities (targeting those with low levels of car ownership). Interpreting results in the light of our decision rule, an extension of the Sufficiency approach, we conclude that transport-oriented policy alone is not the panacea to address social equity and that cross-sectoral solutions are needed, particularly when considering impedance factors and car dependent households.

Detection of eye strain due to usage of electronic devices

The development of ICT has led to a mobile revolution. Mobile phones, internet, social networking, emails, video conferencing and much more has changed the way we work, learn and communicate (Bian M, 2015). Technology brings with itself certain challenges with respect to the harmful impact of prolonged usage of digital devices on the users’ health. People who excessively use electronic devices develop musculoskeletal syndromes. Eyes, shoulder and neck muscles, arm, and wrist are most affected with prolonged usage of digital devices. The aim of this research is to study and list the problems associated with eyes due to the prolonged usage of electronic gadgets with screen. For this purpose, 350 people (170 females, 180 males) from different ages and jobs were asked about eye health with the help of a questionnaire. The factors to detect eye strain and fatigue were collected from literature as well as through a set of interviews. The factors act as the variables for the factor analysis and random forest method has been used for classification. The results of this study implicates the factors that can be used to detect eye strain and fatigue in the users of digital devices.

РОЛЬ УПРАВЛІННЯ МОБІЛЬНІСТЮ У СФЕРІ СТАЛОГО РОЗВИТКУ

Abstract Introduction. In the past, the concept of transport was considered a very simple type of movement, but the corresponding update of this occurred with the advent of innovations in the field of transportation with the ability to transport people and goods with high productivity. First, the use of steam, and then gasoline and electricity, especially in the railway sector, changed the perception of mobility "manually" to "mechanized". In the 20th century, the proliferation of the private car led to a revolution in mobility, a change in previous settings of the urban concept and its functionality. In the 1950s, the vast majority of the population could easily buy a private car, especially thanks to decisive political strategies that contributed to the development of the automotive industry. Mobility is a complex system that includes several modes of transport, such as road, rail, sea and air, interacting with the infrastructure through transport services. Man is between two entities, both user and object, depending on goals, potential benefits, or external factors. The article is devoted to the analysis of factors influencing the management of mobility in settlements. Problems. Mobility management is designed to improve the quality of life of citizens and minimize the external consequences that the community must suffer from transport problems; thus, the application of specific measures is intended to make the use of accessible transport more efficient and reasonable. Purpose. Defining the role of mobility management for sustainable urban development. Materials and method. Mathematical modeling, function of systematic utility Results. Instead of using traditional incentives in the form of discounts and vouchers, gamification is a new strategy to promote resilience, when employees are encouraged to be more physically active and use the transit system through a system of ratings, challenges and rewards. Conclusions. With the help of gamification, municipalities can implement interesting and innovative policies based on increasing the attractiveness of certain types / routes / directions of public transport. Key words: mobility, sustainable development, city, passenger traffic, management.

Acceptance, Safety and Sustainability Recommendations for Efficient Deployment of UAM - Outline of H2020 CSA Project

The vision of a third dimension added to hitherto nearly flat urban/metropolitan transport system gained the potential to become a mobility revolution for both logistics operators and, in the near future, for passengers as well. In spite of the expected emergence of this new form of transport and respective benefits for the efficiency of the mobility system at urban and suburban scale, UAM implementation also involves unprecedented and numerous challenges for cities and for all local public and private stakeholders. The local governing bodies are expected to provide policy, regulations and guidance for the implementation of UAM and to assure its integration with the ground mobility systems as well as with other urban functionalities. Taking into account both potential benefits and associated challenges related to UAM implementation, ASSURED-UAM (Acceptance, Safety and SUstainability Recommendations for Efficient Deployment of UAM) project, funded by the H2020 Programme, aims to support that effort, by providing a multidisciplinary study on operational and policy frameworks for the process of the introduction of unmanned modes of UAM.

Metro Transport Corporations:

Urban mobility revolution is transforming and traditional transportation agencies may be ill-equipped to oversee the changes. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. transit ridership was down as more people in metropolitan areas chose the convenience of options like Uber and Lyft. The apparent durability of working from home has exacerbated both fiscal and equity challenges for transit.
 Meanwhile, vehicle travel is already ahead of pre-pandemic levels in 15 states. The combination of reduced transit ridership and more cars threatens to worsen the challenges posed by climate change.
 Consumers have demonstrated their preference for the convenience new technologies provide. But the skills and capabilities of traditional urban transit agencies do not foster innovation. We propose that urban mobility be overseen by “Metro Transport Corporations,” public-private partnerships that combine the accountability of government with the entrepreneurial and technology-savvy influence of the private sector to address equity and sustainability challenges while driving superior customer service.
