Urban Public Transport

Urban growth in developed countries has made highly difficult the logistics of public transport in many cities. This issue is a consequence of the increase in the number of public transport routes, which has caused that citizens do not know important information on such routes. Especially, data about stops, terminals, timetables, paths and which are the easily reachable places for each single route. On the other hand, smartphones have become very popular in the last lustra. This kind of device has high-end services such as cameras, high-tech sensors and Global-Positioning-System (GPS) navigation, to mention only a few. Thus, since mobile phones are useful and practically ubiquitous, they should be applied to collective-transport logistics, giving the edge to citizens in an economic manner. Ergo, to solve the aforementioned problem, we propose here an approach based on using technology connected to mobile phones, the GPS and the Internet.

Urban Public Transport

Currently, the trends in urban public transport have been changing over the years in developing countries for mobilization and accessibility development. Urban public transportation systems are the most popular in Selangor State, including big cities such as the Klang Valley Region. Objective measures of spatial pattern and hotspots have been used to understand how urban public transport development relate to open access. This method relies on specific spatial information and available web-based tool that shows the pattern primarily based on given vicinity and statistics connectivity. To date, several studies have finished tested in developed countries. In this study, we use Geographic Information Systems to analyse and consider hotspots identification precisely and efficaciously. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on two types of point sample evaluations – Gi* hot spot and point density analysis evaluation as statistical operations. Public rail transport was evaluated as a validation to describe the percentage of distribution of open access. The final result, GIS mapping capabilities to show that GIS's technology offers to the variation of urban public transport relate to public services, is to create maps and spatial interpretations.

The increasing volume of traffic in urban areas has resulted in steady growth of the mean driving time on fixed routes. Longer driving times lead to significantly higher transportation costs, particularly for vehicle fleets, where efficiency in the distribution of their transport tasks is important in staying competitive in the market. For bus fleets, the optimal control and command of the vehicles is, as well as the economic requirements, a basic function of their general mission. The Global Positioning System (GPS) allows reliable and accurate positioning of public transport vehicles except within the physical limitations imposed by built-up city ‘urban canyons’. With a view to the next generation of satellite positioning systems for public transport fleet management, this paper highlights the limitations imposed on current GPS systems operating in the urban canyon. The capabilities of a future positioning system operating in this type of environment are discussed. It is suggested that such a system could comprise receivers capable of integrating the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian equivalent, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), and relatively cheap dead-reckoning sensors.

Measured Dose

A portable HPGe detector has been employed to assess environmental gamma-ray dose following in-situ technique from the primordial radionuclide 40K in the soil at 15 monitoring points (MPs) in the environment at the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka (AECD) campus, Bangladesh. The MPs were marked-out using Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation. The measured dose rate due to 40K range from 0.0428 µGy.h-1 to 0.1222 µGy.h-1 with an average of 0.0828 ± 0.0225 µGy.h-1.

Two Sides

Children tracking system based on android terminals is proposed. Recently, all over the world crime against the children in the age of 14 to 17 years is more popular. Parent’s always worry about their children whenever they are outside from the home. In this paper, the proposed system consists of two sides out of them one is parent module and another is the child module. The child module consists of ARM7 Microcontroller (LPC 2148), GPS (Global Positioning System), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) and voice chip where the parent module consists of android mobile phone. This paper gives the information about missing child from school campus. There are two android mobile phones for the safety of the both modules. The system tracking the child from source to destination i.e. from home to school or anywhere.

Technological Improvements

The use of global positioning system (GPS) technology underpins many different methods of tracking. GPS tracking involves the use of a beacon that sends the location of a device to satellites to determine the precise location of the beacon. In recent years, technological improvements have meant that GPS tracking units have become exponentially smaller in size. Whereas early portable beacons such as the Magellan (launched in 1989) were 22 cm in length and around 700 grams in weight, if not larger than television screens, they can now fit into the back of watches and mobile phones (Shoval and Isaacson, 2010). This chapter will explore the development of GPS technology and its application to tourism research, when utilised with portable GPS loggers.

The article describes the results obtained from research, manufacture and quality improvement of an inexpensive digital magnetic compass system. Given that the receivers of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals are not expensive, in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of the compass, in this paper, the authors propose a method to use the signal of the GNSS global positioning system to compare and adjust the azimuth value of the Digital magnetic compass (DMC).
