Download or read book Mobility and Transportation in the Elderly written by K. Warner Schaie, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000-03-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume examines the gradual reduction of mobility in the elderly. The authors first review the physiological and psychological changes that occur as we age, and go on to illustrate how this gradual decrease in adequate mobility can lead to an increase in automotive accidents. They also review the limitations that mass transportation systems and driving individual vehicles present for the elderly, and discuss different assistive devices that have been and should be implemented to help improve mobility. Each chapter ends with insightful commentaries by specialists in the gerontology field. This book is a must read for gerontologists as well as policy makers and educators on courses in organizational structures of social policy.

Download or read book Gerontechnology written by Jan A. M. Graafmans and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is concerned with gerontechnology - the study of technology and ageing with the aim of improving the functioning of older people in daily life. The first part of the book is a compilation of the key-note addresses describing the background for and the conditions under which the emerging field of gerontechnology can be developed further. The chapters deal with political, socio-economic, ethical, demographic issues related to gerontechnology. Furthermore, methodological approaches in human factors, ergonomics and industrial design are described. Trends in technological developments and innovations conclude the first volume. The second part presents some 80 case studies, divided over 9 sections (1) perception and cognition, (2) communication technology, (3) mobility and transport, (4) health and home care technology, (5) housing, (6) training and education, (7) safety and security, (8) product design and (9) culture and attitudes.
Download or read book Intelligent Transport Systems and Travel Behaviour written by Grzegorz Sierpiński and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does application of countdown timers at traffic lights affect pedestrian safety? How can one model walking routes in transport systems using open source tools? What features should be particularly taken into account while implementing highly advanced ICT components in contemporary towns? What scenario for the development of Intelligent Transport Systems should be chosen for a specific area? How to estimate the impact of the substances emitted by vehicles on climate changes? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in this publication. It also comprises numerous analyses based on legitimate data sources, presenting the close relation between travel behaviours and the organisational as well as technical changes introduced in what is contemporarily referred as smart cities. At present and in the nearest future, technologically advanced transport systems require and will require considerable development of electromobility and the emphasis being placed on multimodality, therefore all these problems have been properly addressed in this publication. With regard to the research results discussed and the selected solutions which find practical application, the publication is dedicated to three groups of recipients: ·Scientists and researchers (ITS field) ·Local authorities (responsible for the transport system on the urban and the regional level) ·Representatives of business (traffic strategy management) and industry (manufacturers of ITS components). The publication entitled Intelligent Transport Systems and Travel Behaviour contains selected papers submitted to and presented at the 13th ”Transport Systems. Theory and Practice” Scientific and Technical Conference organised by the Department of Transport Systems and Traffic Engineering at the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian University of Technology. The conference was held on 19-21 September 2016 in Katowice (Poland). More details at www.TSTP.polsl.pl

Download or read book Intelligent Transportation Systems written by Richard Zavergiu and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification, measurement, and allocation of benefits and costs for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are critical areas of investigation that influence the decision making related to ITS implementation. Traditional methods have concentrated on safety improvements and congestion relief, where time savings and reduction of incidents have generated the bulk of ITS benefits for transportation users. This approach limits the scope of a benefit-cost analysis and an underestimation of ITS benefits. This report develops an alternative approach that identifies four separate beneficiaries of ITS. It proposes a hierarchy of costs and benefits identifying and classifying benefits in relation to relevant costs. This framework will allow policy makers to understand how the financing of ITS deployment could be structured. To demonstrate how such a framework would work in a real-world ITS application, the report includes two case studies: one on border crossing and one on congestion charging.
Download or read book Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Intelligent Transportation Systems written by Loveleen Gaur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation typically entails crucial “life-death” choices, delegating crucial decisions to an AI algorithm without any explanation poses a serious threat. Hence, explainability and responsible AI is crucial in the context of intelligent transportation. In Intelligence Transportation System (ITS) implementations such as traffic management systems and autonomous driving applications, AI-based control mechanisms are gaining prominence. Explainable artificial intelligence for intelligent transportation system tackling certain challenges in the field of autonomous vehicle, traffic management system, data integration and analytics and monitor the surrounding environment. The book discusses and inform researchers on explainable Intelligent Transportation system. It also discusses prospective methods and techniques for enabling the interpretability of transportation systems. The book further focuses on ethical considerations apart from technical considerations.
Download or read book Technologies for Travellers with Sensory Or Cognitive Disabilities written by Alex Turnbull and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report profiles the difficulties that persons with sensory or cognitive disabilities may encounter while travelling, including interpreting visual communications, safe navigation and wayfinding, locating facilities and features, determining whether a desired destination has been reached, communicating with service providers, hearing public address announcements, operating technological devices such as ticket machines, and dealing with unexpected or stressful situations such as route deviations or emergencies. The report identifies technologies that can be used to improve transportation accessibility for such travellers, including audible signage and information products, tactile-based information, visual or computer-based information systems, alerting devices, use of standardized symbols, and non-technological solutions such as transportation staff awareness and sensitivity training. Constraints on the implementation of a strategy to address the accessibility and safety requirements of persons with a sensory or cognitive disability are discussed. Finally, recommendations regarding research and development opportunities and implementation of technological solutions are provided.
