AUSONIO, ELENA. "Drone Swarm System in Firefighting Activities." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Genova, 2022. http://hdl.handle.net/11567/1082825.
Full textAbstract:
Defence against forest fires generally takes place through a variety of air/ground interventions, and is based on the coordination of various actors, such as civil protection, fire brigades, police forces, and volunteers.
The recent technological development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also called drones, and their ability to handle situations that are too dangerous for humans can provide a breakthrough in fighting wildland fires. Compared to a single UAV, a cooperative UAV system can perform complex tasks with more safety and efficiency.
In this thesis, an innovative forest firefighting system, based on the use of a platform managing a swarm of UAVs, is proposed and investigated. Owing to the various modular subsystems of the platform, such as landing pads as well as cartridge and hive, drones are served, supplied, and housed. Moreover, automatic battery and payload replacement along with extinguishing liquid refilling ensure the continuity of the action.
The validity of the approach in Mediterranean scrub fires is illustrated, first computing the critical water flow rate, then simulating the fire spread in a Cellular Automata model both in the absence of firefighting efforts and in the event of an intervention of drones able to generate a continuous flow of extinguishing liquid on the fire front. The fire spread is also simulated by means of a Level Set model, and Model Predictive Control is applied to control the fire front modified by water drop patterns.
Moreover, such a drone-platform system could be used for 24-hour monitoring of an area using video and thermal cameras. Again, in this scenario, drones can spray liquids, water and/or retardants, to mitigate any critical situations of drought and low humidity of vegetation, or even extinguish identified outbreaks. However, managing a large number of drones on one or more platforms requires determining the optimal sequence of drone landings so that the gap between target and actual landing times is minimized, and so that drones have their batteries changed and receive the required payloads. Therefore, the drone scheduling issue is studied by formulating linear optimization problems related to drone landings and take-offs on single and multiple platforms.
Finally, practical experiments in cooperation with the spin-off Inspire of the University of Genoa have been carried out and, in particular, the issue of precision landing with Real Time Kinematic positioning technology has been tested.

People’s selection of leisure activities is a complex choice because of implicit human factors and explicit environmental factors. Satisfactory participation in leisure activities is an important task since keeping a regular active lifestyle can help to maintain and improve the wellbeing of people. Technology could help in selecting the most appropriate activities by designing and implementing activities, collecting people profiles and their preferences relations. In fact, recommendation systems, have been successfully used in the last years in similar tasks with different types of recommendation systems. This thesis aims at the design, implementation, and evaluation of recommendation systems that could help us to better understand the complex choice of selecting leisure activities. In this work, we first define an evaluation framework for different recommendations systems. Then we compare their performances using different evaluation metrics. Thus, we explore and try to better understand the user’s preferences over leisure activities. After, having a comprehensive analysis of modelling recommended items and leisure activities, we also design and implement a content-based leisure activity recommendation system to make use of a taxonomy of activities. Moreover, in the course of our research, we have collected and evaluated two datasets obtained one from the Meetup social network and the other from crowd-workers and made them available as open data sources for further evaluation in the recommendation system research community.

Isik, Zerrin. "Network Structure Based Pathway Enrichment System To Analyze Pathway Activities." Phd thesis, METU, 2011. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12612951/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Current approaches integrating large scale data and information from a
variety of sources to reveal molecular basis of cellular events do not
adequately benefit from pathway information. Here, we portray a network structure based pathway enrichment system that fuses and exploits model and data: signalling pathways are taken as the biological models while microarray and ChIP-seq data are the sample input data sources among many other alternatives. Our model- and data-driven hybrid system allows to quantitatively assessing the biological activity of a cyclic pathway and simultaneous enrichment of the significant paths leading to the ultimate cellular response. Signal Transduction Score Flow (SiTSFlow) algorithm is the fundamental constituent of proposed network structure based pathway enrichment system. SiTSFlow algorithm converts each pathway into a cascaded graph and then gene scores are mapped onto the protein nodes. Gene scores are transferred to en route of the pathway to form a final activity score describing behaviour of a specific process in the pathway while enriching of the gene node scores. Because of cyclic pathways, the algorithm runs in an iterative manner and it terminates when the node scores converge. The converged final activity score provides a quantitative measure to assess the biological significance of a process under the given experimental conditions. The conversion of cyclic pathways into cascaded graphs is performed by using a linear time multiple source Breadth First Search Algorithm. Furthermore, proposed network structure based pathway enrichment system works in linear time in terms of nodes and edges of given pathways.
In order to explore various biological responses of several processes in a
global signalling network, the selected small pathways have been unified based on their common gene and process nodes. The merge algorithm for pathways also runs in linear time in terms of nodes and edges of given pathways.
In the experiments, SiTSFlow algorithm proved the convergence behaviour of activity scores for several cyclic pathways and for a global signalling network. The biological results obtained by assessing of experimental data by described network structure based pathway enrichment system were in correlation with the expected cellular behaviour under the given experimental conditions.

Chukumah, Vincent. "After-School Activities Policy and the Atlanta Fulton Public Library System." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2801.
Full textAbstract:
Public libraries are evolving from their traditional role as promoters of literacy to a new role as providers of community resources, including after-school activities for teenagers. A policy mandate for such activities appears to be lacking though, which might impact negatively their effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of the existing policy and implementation mechanisms of after-school activities offered by the Atlanta Fulton Library System in Georgia to at-risk teenaged patrons. Moore's theory of innovation and public value provided the theoretical framework for the study. An embedded case study research design was used to explore the perceived role of the public library, guiding policy framework, and factors constraining the implementation of after-school activities in 3 of the system 20 branches serving at-risk youth; semi-structured interviews with 21 participants comprising teenagers engaged in after-school activities, parents, librarians, library managers, and members of the Friends of the library; observations of teenagers' behaviors in the library setting; and publicly available document on the subject. The data were inductively coded and then subjected to a content analytical procedure, which revealed 5 after-school themes: bridging a digital divide, teen and community needs, public policy, and public service. The key finding of this study indicates an absence of a system-wide formal policy in how after-school services are provided across library branches for at-risk teenagers. The study concludes with recommendations to reexamine the existing after-school programs in a way that better incorporates the unique needs of library patrons and to align policies with these needs in order to better serve at-risk youth within the context of their communities.

Many design theories lack scalability to systems with many elements. They provide guidance to designers about specific facets of a design task but are too cumbersome to apply thoroughly from conceptual to detailed design. Thus the opportunity for rational design is missed. Axiomatic design (AD) seems ideal for directing the design of large systems because it proposes general principles and a recursive design process. AD provides a fundamental basis for understanding decision making during design. It contains representations for the design object (a hierarchy of functional requirements, design parameters, and design matrices) and the design process ( decomposition and zigzagging) combined with rules for decision making (the independence and information axioms). Challenges remain, however, in implementing the theory to large system designs. The challenge addressed in this thesis is decomposition, the activity through which details of the design emerge. In decomposition, FRs satisfied by conceptual DPs are reduced into sets of sub-FRs. This activity is repeated until the design is completely embodied as a physical system of hardware and/ or software. A question asked about decomposition concerns consistency: How can decisions about sub-FRs, and the rest of the decomposed design, be made so that they match the design decisions and representations of the design that were made at higher levels of the design hierarchy? To enable designers to do this, this thesis extends AD by providing a model of the decomposition process that identifies the activities performed and provides guidelines and tools to assist the designers. The designers' goals and guidelines for achieving them have been generalized and evaluated for each of the decomposition activities: generating sub-FRs, identifying relevant customer needs, integrating sub-DPs, directing progress of the decomposition, dimensioning DPs, layout of DPs, carrying down and refining constraints, and ensuring consistency between levels. The theoretical concepts, the model, guidelines, and tools, have been validated through application to industrial cases including a new reticle management system accommodating customer variety, software algorithms for machine control, system analysis, reuse of design rationale, and software design. The cases examined cover a wide breadth, are from different fields, and have different numbers of designers.

Full textAbstract:
In project or program planning, a Gantt or PERT chart is usually employed as a graphical representation of schedule for activities. Planners utilize this chart in performing analyses such as the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Very little effort, however, has been devoted to the formulation of activity networks, which is the initial step before aforementioned analyses. This research addresses this problem by developing a systematic methodology to aid in the identification and rapid structuring of a system of activities.
The theoretical foundation of the methodology is based on Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). It consists of seven basic steps: (l) identifying the activities in the set; (2) identifying the set of relation statements; (3)identifying the initial input; (4) establishing a transitive inference mechanism based upon previous responses; (5) generating a logical combination of relationships based on previous responses; (6) storing the relationship for each pair of activities in a relation matrix; and (7) outputting the relationships in the form of a simplified Gantt chart.
The merits of applying this methodology include (1) efficiency in activity structuring and (2) avoidance of illogical and inconsistent sequential relationship specifications. A "Business Appreciation" example is used in illustrating the application of this methodology. It reveals that 85% of a total of 120 possible sequential activity relationships can be deduced without asking for information from the user. In general, over 57% of the sequential relationships can be inferred without input by the user.Master of Urban and Regional Planning

Full textAbstract:
This research paper aims to investigate if the incorporation of students’ extramural English (EE) activities, such as watching movies or playing computer games, into the English classroom affect their motivation. This research was inspired by The School Inspectorate’s (Skolinspektionen, 2011) conclusion that too many Swedish students find English lessons un-motivating as well as boring. Partly to blame for this problem is the lack of perceived authenticity in the English classroom when compared to the activities that the students are engaged in outside of school (EE). Since this gap between school English and out-of-school English is creating un-motivated students in the classroom, this paper aims to describe learner motivation towards the English language, and whether incorporating students EE activities can increase their motivation. This is done with the support of different theories of motivation as well as the current globalized landscape, with English being considered a global language. One teacher and 25 of her students were interviewed to hear their thoughts on whether the incorporation of extramural English activities into the classroom would increase motivation. The study came to the conclusion that students wanted to learn English in order to become participants in the globalized world. Also, both teacher and students wanted to incorporate extramural English activities into the classroom and stated that this would increase their motivation in school. However, they also explained that it had to be incorporated, or ‘schoolified’, in a way that increased the students’ knowledge and proficiency, and was in line with the curriculum and its knowledge requirements.

Full textAbstract:
The State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System is an interactive web-based application and data tool providing up-to-date state-level information related to tobacco use. Indicators in STATE present data related to current and former tobacco use, smoking cessation, funding, tobacco-related health costs, and tobacco control policies. The STATE System also serves as a primary data source for many objectives in Healthy People 2020’s Tobacco Use chapter. Currently, there is no common thread between access to information pertaining to Healthy People 2020 objectives and STATE System data. For this reason, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted of the STATE System’s individual reports and static web-content as it relates to Healthy People 2020 objectives. Implications for research and evaluation are intended to educate the Office on Smoking and Health’s staff & colleagues in the states, networks, and territories on identifiable, cross-promotional opportunities that highlight both state and national data.

Basharat, Arslan. "MODELING SCENES AND HUMAN ACTIVITIES IN VIDEOS." Doctoral diss., University of Central Florida, 2009. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/3830.
Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, we address the problem of understanding human activities in videos by developing a two-pronged approach: coarse level modeling of scene activities and fine level modeling of individual activities. At the coarse level, where the resolution of the video is low, we rely on person tracks. At the fine level, richer features are available to identify different parts of the human body, therefore we rely on the body joint tracks. There are three main goals of this dissertation: (1) identify unusual activities at the coarse level, (2) recognize different activities at the fine level, and (3) predict the behavior for synthesizing and tracking activities at the fine level. The first goal is addressed by modeling activities at the coarse level through two novel and complementing approaches. The first approach learns the behavior of individuals by capturing the patterns of motion and size of objects in a compact model. Probability density function (pdf) at each pixel is modeled as a multivariate Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), which is learnt using unsupervised expectation maximization (EM). In contrast, the second approach learns the interaction of object pairs concurrently present in the scene. This can be useful in detecting more complex activities than those modeled by the first approach. We use a 14-dimensional Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) that captures motion and size of concurrently tracked objects. The proposed models have been successfully used to automatically detect activities like unusual person drop-off and pickup, jaywalking, etc. The second and third goals of modeling human activities at the fine level are addressed by employing concepts from theory of chaos and non-linear dynamical systems. We show that the proposed model is useful for recognition and prediction of the underlying dynamics of human activities. We treat the trajectories of human body joints as the observed time series generated from an underlying dynamical system. The observed data is used to reconstruct a phase (or state) space of appropriate dimension by employing the delay-embedding technique. This transformation is performed without assuming an exact model of the underlying dynamics and provides a characteristic representation that will prove to be vital for recognition and prediction tasks. For recognition, properties of phase space are captured in terms of dynamical and metric invariants, which include the Lyapunov exponent, correlation integral, and correlation dimension. A composite feature vector containing these invariants represents the action and will be used for classification. For prediction, kernel regression is used in the phase space to compute predictions with a specified initial condition. This approach has the advantage of modeling dynamics without making any assumptions about the exact form (polynomial, radial basis, etc.) of the mapping function. We demonstrate the utility of these predictions for human activity synthesis and tracking.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
The globalization of the markets and the worldwide competition forces the SMEs to implement new technologies and organize themselves using new concepts in order to maintain their competitivity. This type of temporary alliance is called as Virtual Enterprise (VE). SMEs seem to be appropriate units for building this type of temporary alliances when their properties (such as flexibility, adaptability and agility) are taken into account. This study is concerned with the simulation modeling of shop floor activities for SMEs in VEs. Analyzing the SMEs with their current and new work load over the existing one by using simulation tool may help the VE management unit to see the most appropriate SMEs for the projects. Because of mentioned advantages, this thesis will test whether the simulation tool will or will not be used in the selection of the VE partner.
The simulation methodology for modeling shop floor activities of SMEs was developed by using ARENA simulation tool in this thesis. A hydraulic cylinder company was selected for pilot application. Manufacturing of twelve basic hydraulic cylinders was studied in the developed model. Four different queue rules were applied to the developed model to optimize the system efficiency. By analyzing the output statistical results of ARENA which were obtained with the usage of the input variables of SME (such as resource capacities, process times, setup and remove times of parts, variables wrt to workers, etc.) best manufacturing policy for pilot SME was able to be found. To see the response of the system under different circumstances, grinding and hardening operations for a drive shaft manufacturing were assigned to the company. This new job was applied on two models (Base Model and Optimized System Model) and the statistical results of each were examined.

Online learning is becoming an increasingly important aspect of higher education. Concerns about the effectiveness of online courses have prompted education administrators to look at how different learning theories can best be used to increase student learning. Learning Management Systems (LMS) have become one of the dominant technologies for delivering online education, and the North Dakota University System (NDUS) uses one of the most popular of these LMSs, Moodle. NDUS Moodle is designed and utilizes activities that are based on a learning theory called social constructivism. This research studies the usage of these activities, perceived instructor effectiveness, and the use of alternate tools outside the NDUS Moodle environment by surveying instructors of online-only NDUS Moodle courses for spring 2012.

Relacom Defense suffers from a lack of a uniform IT system. They also have an old ITsystem, called @Tender, which contain unsolved bugs, usability issues and the ITsystem is currently not supporting the users to work in an effective way. This IT system needs to be replaced and integrated with the other IT systems in the department. To find the requirements of this future IT system, a user centered approach was established. Interviews and observations based on the departments own project flow model were done in order to learn the current systems and to learn how the users use the systems on a daily basis. Vision seminars were conducted in order to find more requirements of the future system and to create a vision of how future work in whole could and should look like. A specification of requirements was created and provided a foundation for continued work with creating paper prototypes of the user interface of the future system. The developed paper prototypes were evaluated in cooperation with the end users. When user acceptance was reached, more detailed prototypes were developed and evaluated in cooperation with end users. The specification of requirements and the prototypes of the user interface is a foundation for future development and implementation of the system.

Even if software handover is a critical process in the lifecycle of a software system, there is still very little research done within its domain. In this paper, we evaluate the taxonomy of handover activities as defined in EM3: Handover Process Model. We do it in an industrial setting in a context where a software system is handed over from a vendor conducting system development, evolution and maintenance to an acquirer using the system and conducting front-end support. Our results show that the taxonomy is realistic in the context studied. However, it misses some important deployment and training activities.© 2010 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.

Beaudin, Shauna. "An Empirical Study of Authentication Methods to Secure E-learning System Activities Against Impersonation Fraud." NSUWorks, 2016. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/gscis_etd/958.
Full textAbstract:
Studies have revealed that securing Information Systems (IS) from intentional misuse is a concern among organizations today. The use of Web-based systems has grown dramatically across industries including e-commerce, e-banking, e-government, and e learning to name a few. Web-based systems provide e-services through a number of diverse activities. The demand for e-learning systems in both academic and non-academic organizations has increased the need to improve security against impersonation fraud. Although there are a number of studies focused on securing Web-based systems from Information Systems (IS) misuse, research has recognized the importance of identifying suitable levels of authenticating strength for various activities. In e-learning systems, it is evident that due to the variation in authentication strength among controls, a ‘one size fits all’ solution is not suitable for securing diverse e-learning activities against impersonation fraud.
The main goal of this study was to use the framework of the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory to conduct an exploratory research design to empirically investigate what levels of authentication strength users perceive to be most suitable for activities in e-learning systems against impersonation fraud. This study aimed to assess if the ‘one size fits all’ approach mainly used nowadays is valid when it comes to securing e-learning activities from impersonation fraud. Following the development of an initial survey instrument (Phase 1), expert panel feedback was gathered for instrument validity using the Delphi methodology. The initial survey instrument was adjusted according to feedback (Phase 2). The finalized Web-based survey was used to collect quantitative data for final analyses (Phase 3).
This study reported on data collected from 1,070 e-learners enrolled at a university. Descriptive statistics was used to identify what e-learning activities perceived by users and what users perceived that their peers would identify to have a high potential for impersonation. The findings determined there are a specific set of e-learning activities that high have potential for impersonation fraud and need a moderate to high level of authentication strength to reduce the threat. Principal Component Analysis was used to identify significant components of authentication strength to be suitable against the threats of impersonation for e-learning activities.

Full textAbstract:
In the current international environment characterized by globalization and regionalization, the importance of the transport and logistics system integration which is the basis of regional economic cooperation has been highlighted. Northeast Asian Region which covers 5.7% of the total world’s area and has around 25.8% of the total world’s population has been one of the most active regions of economic and social development in recent two decades largely due to the emergence of China and Russia in the world market. However, different from the EU which provides an excellent example of economic and transport integration, the transport and logistics system in Northeast Asia still has massive room for improvement. The concept of transportation corridor construction has been adopted in the research and the five most important international transportation corridors in Northeast Asia have been fully examined in terms of current situation and major problems and issues. The major issues include inadequate and imbalanced transportation infrastructure, lack of funding as well as insufficient institutional mechanisms. Consequently, the policy and action plans in four sectors are formulated to improve the performance of the transport and logistics system in Northeast Asia. The current research was facilitated by experts mainly from the transport and logistics field in Northeast Asia, through the application of the Delphi Method. The consensus achieved will provide useful guidance for building a well integrated transport and logistics system in Northeast Asia. The political and economic stability of North Korea is a prerequisite for transport and logistics system construction in Northeast Asia. Furthermore, improving basic transport infrastructure, promoting logistics and transport facilities, building a logistics cooperation system and training logistics specialists are the four most important aspects for the development of the transport and logistics system in the region.

Camping activities have changed as the economy improves, ranging from early scout training to group sports camps to family-based leisure camps, camping groups from school groups to camping associations, community and family Type camping. The rapid growth of camping population also led to the development of camping equipment towards simplicity, technology and life. The camping activities will be expected to be an important part of modern leisure development through the significant educational or leisure benefits of camping activities Methods and indicators. The development of camping activities in Taiwan, regardless of the type of camping or functional orientation, is closely related to the evolution of the whole age background. However, when the consumer chooses to consider the factors as a simple time, the campers can easily rely on the rule of thumb to determine the consumer's decision, but when the type of consumer choice and factors to consider when the industry from the data analysis and consumption The rule of thumb to judge the behavior of consumers, seems to become an important issue. Which is different from the rules of the past association rules. This study aims at the establishment, revision and improvement of the order of the order of the camps, the activities and the needs of the campers, and the order of the association rules. , To provide more suitable venues and activities to the people who love camping use.

We develop a phenomenological model and modify the Sivan model[1] to simulate the neuron bursting behavior to model the biological neuron-glia network. First, we propose a generic inhibitory mechanism to represent glia dynamics and combine with the spiking neuron model(FitzHugh-Nagumo model[2]). Bursting occurs when mean connection strength of neurons with the inhibitory elements exceeds a threshold value. Both the mean-field model and the network model show similar results and the synchronization of firing can be enhanced by connections in the network including neurons and glial cells. Secondly, we use the Sivan model which provides a similar membrane voltage activity to experiment results. The calcium dynamics in Sivan model leads to bursting behavior and can be regarded as an effect from the glial cells. Bursting can be induced purely by intrinsic neuron noise and the fluctuations of glial activity where burst coherence increases with noise in both parts. In the network system, the bursting frequency and synchronization between neurons are also computed with different connection strengths and noise levels.

Building business alliance relationship and developing Internet-based information systems (IBIS) are considered as effective competitive strategies in recent years. Many studies found that they will bring enterprises a lot of competitive advantages. The study tries by using literature review and case studies to explore current business alliance practices in Taiwan and to reveal the demand and alliance performances for applying IBIS systems in the business alliance activities. By the reviewing related literature of the alliance activities and electronic business, we collect eight activities including communication, human resources support, equipment sharing, technology sharing, information sharing, knowledge sharing, customer sharing and finance support activities. The major findings of case studies include: (1) communication activities and information-sharing activities are the most appropriate activities to apply the IBIS systems in business alliances;(2) the adoption decisions of the IBIS systems are dependent on the degree of support among the allied partners and the technology capabilities they possess; (3) there are three key factors that may hinder from the IBIS application for business alliance activities, likes the lack of trust in Internet security. Based on the result of case study, beside the “financial support activities”, other seven alliance activities were considered as system demand for developing a prototype of the IBIS system. At last, we summarize the findings, point out the important modules that enterprises can use to increase the efficiency of business alliance activities. In addition, we also suggest managerial implications for the practices and recommend some directions of furture research.

Full textAbstract:
Crayfish provide a model which is simple, has an easily-accessible cardiovascular system and can be maintained in the laboratory conditions; the model has good utility for water quality assessment and ethophysiological studies. A noninvasive crayfish cardiac and behavioral activities monitoring (NICCBAM) system is discussed in the thesis. The system is inexpensive, has relatively few components and permits long-term continuous simultaneous monitoring of cardiac and behavioral activities of several crayfish. Moreover, compared to other available systems, it provides a novel approach of cardiac activity shape analysis which allows improving monitoring accuracy as well as obtaining additional information on crayfish functional state. The NICCBAM system was evaluated by comparing with the well-known electrocardiography system which demonstrated that cardiac contractions with both approaches were synchronous and that both signal shapes were similar. Experiments on crayfish cardiac activity relative to selected odors and chemicals demonstrated the promising potential of cardiac signal shape analysis, not only for detecting changes in the aquatic environment, but also for their classification.

In recent years, recommendation systems have become the most crucial part of e-commerce. All major commercial models are relying on recommendation systems to increase sales volume. At present, the most widely used are personalized recommendation systems, which use the interests, preferences, and past ratings of users to search for items that may appeal to them and then recommend said items. Travel recommendation systems currently receive the most attention from researchers because they meet the needs of the public and bring substantial benefits to vendors. Although travel recommendation systems have mushroomed in the past few years, we have noticed that no travel recommendation systems take into account the influence of special events. This study thus presents a new algorithm to overcome this issue. We first extracted event information from online platforms and used term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) to analyze event information. Next, we used latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to categorize event information and developed an event selection model using the interests of the user and the distances between event locations and the user’s intended tourist destinations. The model can plan and recommend itineraries that are the most suitable for the user and include events the user is interested in. Keywords: personalized recommendation system, term frequency-inverse document frequency, latent dirichlet allocation

An official estimation of the Council of Economic Planning and Development indicates that the percentage of elderly citizens, aged over 65 years old, will exceed 14% by 2011, indicating that Taiwan will become an aged society in near future. Undoubtedly, it is imperative for the government to provide a user-friendly transportation environment for aged citizens so as to enhance the independence and safety in their daily activities. Thus, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of their daily trips as well as their physiology and psychology conditions and then, based on these, to plan a high quality transportation system for aged citizens. According to the questionnaire survey conducted by this study, the daily trips of the aged citizens in Taiwan are usually much shorter than ordinary citizens due to the rapid decline in their physiology and psychology conditions. The trip purposes of them are mainly to go for the medical treatment, work-out, shopping and friend visit. Walking is the most frequently used transportation mode for conducting these trips. Based on this, this study dedicates to planning high-quality sidewalk system for aged people. This study proposes an integrated model to evaluate the level-of-service of a sidewalk network system in terms of three planning goals: safety, comfort and convenience and which can be respectively measured and expressed by the indices of degree of mix usage, degree of length, and degree of interference. A comprehensive performance index of the whole sidewalk network is then determined by aggregating the performances of all-pairs shortest paths determined by Floyd-Warshall algorithm. At last, the heavily used links with low level-of-service would then be identified for improvement. Corresponding traffic engineering or management improvement strategies for these links are also proposed.

This dissertation uses a living-oriented design method to construct a smart home system called Smart Door System. The system has three sub-systems: a sub-system called Smart Door Porch for door control, a home portal for application services, and lifestyle design smart furniture for smart house environment. Smart Door Porch uses cameras, an RFID (radio-frequency identification) reader, and a door information panel for home security as well as the at-home awareness of each family member. The Home Portal uses Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) framework with Java EE enhancement as the middleware to provide services including family activity, family calendar, and family collaboration map. When home member enters into the home space, the motion sensors provide the awareness of member moving. For supporting intelligent service in indoor space, we propose a prototype of smart furniture--Magic Mirror Table--to realize the social-emotion awareness in human-machine interaction. The proposed device can aware viewer’s mood from the family networking and engage in family living. If the viewer is in the bad mood, the system then speaks positive sentences and plays the viewer’s favorite music to alleviate his/her emotion. The system also supports members’ outdoor activities. The related physical and logical space form a space based service model called Family Activity Service Space model. Meanwhile, with the aid of the GPS-enabled mobile devices, the family collaboration map can show the locations of family members and their traces. Namely, by using the power of mobility, the proposed system supports family collaboration activity among family members. Experiments based on scenario simulations confirm that the proposed system can provide better services for family collaboration and create a better lifestyle for family.
