Qualitative Research Regarding Road and Weather Information Technology
Where the Weather Meets the Road
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309091365
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Weather has broad and significant effects on the roadway environment. Snow, rain, fog, ice, freezing rain, and other weather conditions can impair the ability of drivers to operate their vehicles safely, significantly reduce roadway capacity, and dramatically increase travel times. Multiple roadway activities, from roadway maintenance and construction to shipping, transit, and police operations, are directly affected by inclement weather. Some road weather information is available to users currently, however a disconnect remains between current research and operations, and additional research could yield important safety and economic improvements for roadway users. Meteorology, roadway technology, and vehicle systems have evolved to the point where users could be provided with better road weather information through modern information technologies. The combination of these technologies has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of roadway operations, road capacity, and road safety. Where the Weather Meets the Road provides a roadmap for moving these concepts to reality.

Information Refinement Technologies for Crisis Informatics
Author: Marc-André Kaufhold
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3658333413
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Marc-André Kaufhold explores user expectations and design implications for the utilization of new media in crisis management and response. He develops a novel framework for information refinement, which integrates the event, organisational, societal, and technological perspectives of crises. Therefore, he reviews the state of the art on crisis informatics and empirically examines the use, potentials and barriers of both social media and mobile apps. Based on these insights, he designs and evaluates ICT concepts and artifacts with the aim to overcome the issues of information overload and quality in large-scale crises, concluding with practical and theoretical implications for technology adaptation and design.

Author: António Pedro Costa
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030014061
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
This book includes a selection of papers presented at the Third World Conference on Qualitative Research (WCQR2018), held in Lisbon, Portugal on October 17–19, 2018. The WCQR2018 focused on four main fields of application (Education, Health, Social Sciences, and Engineering and Technology) and seven main subjects: Rationale and Paradigms of Qualitative Research; Systematization of Approaches with Qualitative Studies; Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research; Data Analysis Types; Innovative Processes of Qualitative Data Analysis; Qualitative Research in Web Contexts; and Qualitative Analysis with the Support of Specific Software. Given its breadth of coverage, the book offers a valuable resource for academics, researchers, teachers and students seeking information on the above topics, and on the use of Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS).

Research on the Road
Author: Dan Podjed
Publisher: Založba ZRC
ISBN: 9610500269
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
How do people drive on roads and behave in traffic? How can we change driving habits and encourage more environmentally responsible modes of transportation? These are the two main questions to which the volume tries to answer. It tackles the problems of driving, traffic, transportation, and mobility fully, rather than from a single perspective, which has tended to be the norm so far. The authors describe how we can weave together qualitative and quantitative approaches, how useful interviews are for understanding driving comfort, the power ethnography has to help us understand the lifestyle of drivers, which technological tools and approaches are the most useful for analyzing styles of driving, how to explore vehicles and traffic by analyzing language, how traffic might improve or worsen our way of life from a psychological point of view, and how we can encourage environmentally friendly behavior and practices on both the road and in life in general. / Kako se prevažamo po cestah in vedemo v prometu? Kako lahko spreminjamo vozniške navade in spodbujamo bolj okoljsko odgovorne načine prevoza? To sta dve izhodiščni vprašanji, na kateri odgovarja zbornik, v katerem se avtorice in avtorji problematike vožnje, prometa, transporta in mobilnosti lotevajo celotno, namesto z enega zornega kota, kot je bilo to doslej bolj pogosto. Avtorice in avtorji predstavijo, kako lahko pri raziskovanju prepletemo kvalitativne in kvantitativne pristope, kako uporabni so intervjuji pri razumevanju udobja med vožnjo, kakšno moč ima etnografija pri spoznavanju načina življenja voznikov, kateri tehnološki pripomočki in pristopi so najbolj uporabni za analizo načinov vožnje z avtomobilom, kako lahko raziskujemo vozila in promet z analizo jezika, kako promet s psihološkega vidika izboljša in poslabša naš način življenja ter kako lahko spodbujamo okolju prijazne navade in prakse, in to tako na cesti kot tudi nasploh v življenju.
