Purpose The aim of this paper is threefold: first, to review the technological state of the art on tire sensor systems; second, to summarize basic methodologies and explore the potential of tire sensing for intelligent vehicle developments and third, to address challenges in the development of tire sensing systems and inspire future research in this field. Design/methodology/approach Nowadays, automotive industry is moving toward an intelligent and autonomous driving era with the assistance of sensing technology development, whereas tire-road conditions sensing and utilization are of great interest from the point of view of vehicle dynamics control, vehicle safety and vehicle performance evaluation. Findings Tire sensing is an emerging technology whereby sensor systems are installed on the tire to provide fundamental insights into tire-road interactions for ground vehicles and wheel robots. In the past two decades, tire sensing systems based on various sensor types have been proposed to offer the possibility to investigate tire-road interactions. Originality/value Instrumenting the tire with sensors, especially accelerometers and optical sensors, can sense the tire-road interactions and enhance the vehicle performance. The harsh environment inside tire cavity requires reliable, accurate, low weight, modularized and inexpensive sensors. Challenges, such as the data transmission, power management, lack of physics-based tire models need to be solved before the tire sensor becomes commercially viable for production vehicles.

ObjectivesTo combat misinformation, engender trust and increase health literacy, we developed a culturally and linguistically appropriate virtual reality (VR) vaccination education platform using community-engaged approaches within a Somali refugee community.DesignCommunity-based participatory research (CBPR) methods including focus group discussions, interviews, and surveys were conducted with Somali community members and expert advisors to design the educational content. Co-design approaches with community input were employed in a phased approach to develop the VR storyline.Participants60 adult Somali refugees and seven expert advisors who specialise in healthcare, autism research, technology development and community engagement.SettingSomali refugees participated at the offices of a community-based organisation, Somali Family Service, in San Diego, California and online. Expert advisors responded to surveys virtually.ResultsWe find that a CBPR approach can be effectively used for the co-design of a VR educational programme. Additionally, cultural and linguistic sensitivities can be incorporated within a VR educational programme and are essential factors for effective community engagement. Finally, effective VR utilisation requires flexibility so that it can be used among community members with varying levels of health and technology literacy.ConclusionWe describe using community co-design to create a culturally and linguistically sensitive VR experience promoting vaccination within a refugee community. Our approach to VR development incorporated community members at each step of the process. Our methodology is potentially applicable to other populations where cultural sensitivities and language are common health education barriers.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have recently been labeled as toxic constituents that exist in many aqueous environments. However, traditional methods used to determine the level of PFASs are often not appropriate for continuous environmental monitoring and management. Based on the current state of research, PFAS-detecting sensors have surfaced as a promising method of determination. These sensors are an innovative solution with characteristics that allow for in situ, low-cost, and easy-to-use capabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the recent developments in PFAS-detecting sensors, and why the literature on determination methods has shifted in this direction compared to the traditional methods used. PFAS-detecting sensors discussed herein are primarily categorized in terms of the detection mechanism used. The topics covered also include the current limitations, as well as insight on the future direction of PFAS analyses. This paper is expected to be useful for the smart sensing technology development of PFAS detection methods and the associated environmental management best practices in smart cities of the future.

The recent advances of remote sensing technology development can support government needs including cadastral related purposes. One of the purposes is to supply geospatial data especially land parcel maps for land and tax value inventory. This research tries to evaluate the utilization of Quickbird Satellite image for updating land and building (PBB-P2) block maps in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province of Indonesia. The image was recorded in 2014 with resolution of 0.6 meter and has been ortho-rectified. Evaluation is conducted by analyzing the utilization of the image as the base map for deriving land parcel maps according to the Decree of Tax Director General number: KEP-533/PJ/2000. The process was firstly done by digitizing land parcel boundaries on Quickbird image to produce block maps. The process was done by the community through participatory mapping. The resulting block maps then were compared with land registration map from National Land Agency. The evaluation was focused on the accuracy of land parcel position as well as the resulting land areas. For this purpose the land registration map is regarded as the reference data. By focusing on the 51 sample data in Triharjo Village, statistical test was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the resulting areas of the digitized land parcel map. The results show that 47 samples comply with a tolerance requirement of 10% according to the Decree of Tax Directorate number KEP-533/PJ/2000’. In addition, the t-test analysis with a significant level of 5% indicates that there is no significant difference of area between the digitized land parcel data with land registration map. Based on the results, it is concluded that ortho-rectified QuickBird image is sufficient for producing of land and building tax (PBB-P2) block maps.
