TY - JOUR A1 - Schlingensiepen, Jörn A1 - Mehmood, Rashid A1 - Nemtanu, Florin Codrut T1 - Framework for an Autonomic Transport System in Smart Cities JF - Cybernetics and information technologies N2 - Today the concept of smart cities is discussed in scientific society and politics. A core function of smart cities is transportation. This paper gives a short overview on the concepts for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for smart cities and proposes a framework for the design of an autonomic transportation system that provides personalized mobility services to its users in a smart city setting. The transportation poses extreme environment for ICT systems due to fast moving vehicles and users, requiring real-time acquisition and high performance processing of large scale data, and rapidly changing communication networks topologies and node densities. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework that will act as a reference for the design of future transportation systems that are able to cope with the ever rising system complexities and users’ demands. Therefore, a backbone system providing information at different levels was designed following the principles of a corporative ICT that were proposed in [1]. The framework fulfills the main requirement providing suitable information about the local decision engines in vehicles and infrastructure interacting in smart cities traffic systems.

This so called educational mass production is lamented by both students and lecturers. This field report gives an overview on the authors experience while developing and testing an E-Prototype of a Distance Learning system that was developed on the basis of the course room and learning content management system Moodle and tested during winter semester 2012/13 at the University of Applied Science Ingolstadt (today Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt). The set up followed the methodology of Inverted Class Room Model and was tested with two student groups (part time students and regular students). In total 440 students, four tutors and four professors were involved in this test case.

T1 - Empowering people with disabilities using urban public transport JF - Procedia Manufacturing N2 - Today's public transport is not easy to use by people that are physically impaired or suffering from mental problems. Traffic planning today is driven by online time tables calculating the optimal way to use public transport in terms of time and costs. Unfortunately, this is not suitable for a group of travelers having constraints in using vehicles, vehicle types or particular stations for health reasons. One the other hand, since most of those people are not able to drive a car on their own, making public transport available to them is a key to improve their mobility and their quality of life in general. This paper shows an approach developed within the project “mobile” funded by The German Federal Ministry of economy and energy (BMWi) that supports this kind of users while traveling by public transport. Moreover, the system takes their personal constraints into account and provides them with timely information about their trip. To this end, several supporting gadgets and a system that matches property of vehicles, stations with personal attributes of mentioned travelers are developed. This system provides the user with personalized and localized advices during travel and while travel planning. This is implemented by generation of a second graph representing the public transport network not in dimension of time and costs but in preferences and dislike of a given traveler. This second graph is an overlay to the standard graph to get a personalized graph that allows finding a suitable route respecting the constraints of the user.

Unfortunately today a lot of new study courses are developed by mixing existing courses (e.g. industrial and commercial engineering or commercial information technology) or adjusting existing courses (e.g. technology of sustainable energy formed from mechanical and process engineering or environmental engineering formed from civil engineering). In most cases universities try to keep their well-known infrastructure and lecture courses based on the expertise of the current staff while using attractive short term hypes to make their course offer more attractive. Since this leads to frustration for the students expecting different content and may not fulfil the expectations from industry; we developed a new approach focussed on skills and competences in RiFLE project. This paper gives an overview how this approach works and how it was used while developing a master program (MSc in Rail Freight and Logistics).
