Green Mobility Application (GMAP)

摘要: Broadly speaking, one of the most important aspects Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) United Nations is to increase awareness people for sustainability related issues namely economic, environmental and social problems. In this direction, it can be concluded that there a lack individuals regarding their habits impacts on sustainability. Especially in developed countries, well-known are linked over consumption, overweight, waste, pollution so on. However, them not aware results which caused from daily activities terms pollution, energy footprints effects global Mobility such area resulting kind problems especially urban areas. Our current road-based transportation system mainly dependent automobile use causes wide range formidable These include traffic congestion, air noise, accidents fatalities, depletion non-renewable resources inaccessibility amenities services. To illustrate this, more than one-quarter total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions come sector light vehicles responsible 59% (see Fig. 1). Due roads, approximately million dies except millions injuries (WHO, 2010). addition that, many cities suffering congestion slows down businesses, unreliability time, unpleasant life costs billions dollars economies (Everyday Money, 2014; TomTom, 2013). just few figures detrimental due Transport demand, however, increases as economic growth (EU Energy, 2012) will make situation even worse upcoming years. Therefore, various dimensions transport group into three categories: environmental, Table Given these problems, associated impacts, areas may considered unsustainable respects. counter challenge moving towards sustainable transportation, much effort needed. According World Business Council (2004), mobility defined ‘the ability meet needs society move freely, gain access, communicate, trade, establish relationships without sacrificing other essential human or ecological values today future’. end, certain focus mitigate transition (C2ES, 2012). Firstly, fuels side, transitioning low-carbon sources biofuels electricity renewable directly reduce fuel consumption required. Secondly, efficient equipment needed run sources. Thirdly, increasing efficiency existing applying advanced monitoring signaling. Lastly, switching modes (mostly personal car usage) alternative (or sustainable) travel public walking cycling demand intensive by changing land patterns, promoting options while dis-incentivizing modes. After all, said “new mobility” vision resident no longer excessively rely cars but shared cars, bikes walking. less stress at end; livable environments. we working mobile application project capable tracking individuals’ activities; walking, bicycling, driving. activities, present level each individual scale its his\her health environment. By doing aim actions encourage change behaviors ways using different incentive tools. The prepare individualized packages show footprint with environment suggest ways. main target mostly educated younger middle age groups, rich-enough having smart-phone, importantly activities. successfully completion application, pilot area, Education City would perfect place conduct experiments where members community suitable our potential customer portfolio then spread all world through Qatar Gulf Cooperation (GCC) countries. need tailor tools culture expectations community. sense, going findings initial phases have conducted far developing process includes; (1) literature review, (2) market assessments via interviews stakeholders survey questionnaire groups figure out perceptions behavioral mobility, (3) analysis requirements based previous phase (4) concept design includes flow diagrams, database schema sketching user interfaces etc. these, utilize Quality Function Deployment (QFD) transform business specs GMAP it.
