The article is devoted to research of automation of collecting and transporting municipal solid waste. The aim of the article is development of methodology for substantiating the selection and evaluation of the economic efficiency of the software for managing the collection and transportation of the municipal solid waste. The mathematical models, which are used to predict the type and amount of waste, are considered. A multiplicity of parameters, characterizing municipal solid waste collecting and transporting, was determined. The resulting multiplicity of parameters allows tracking the implementation of the municipal solid waste collecting and transporting cycle. The end of the cycle occurs at the balance between the amount of municipal solid waste, generated by multitenant apartment management organizations and the amount of municipal solid waste, unloaded from garbage trucks to sorting organizations. The composition and functionality of the software modules set for automation of collecting and transporting municipal solid waste was substantiated. Software modules set uses mathematical models to determine the routes for the garbage trucks movement, which corresponds to the minimum costs. The order of the software modules interaction and the conditions, under which the implementation of the software modules set will be cost-effective, are considered.
In this article, Keystroke Level Model and Touchless Hand Gesture Level Model were adapted, as well as Fitts’s law, to work with touch screens of the mobile devices. The article takes into account typical gestures that users most often perform in the process of interaction with touch screens of mobile devices (Tap, Pinch, Swipe, Pan, Drag-and-Drop), as well as time components of gestures (time for direct execution of a gesture, time for mental preparation for the gesture, time for the user to select the necessary grip on the mobile device, time to select the ‘dominant’ hand to perform gestures, the time to select the finger to perform the gesture, time to move the hand away from the touch screen). A method for determining the speed of user gesture interaction has been developed. The problem was formulated and an algorithm was developed. The details of the operation and use of the algorithm are considered. A list of arrays and variables used as initial data for determining the speed of the sequence execution of operations using gesture interaction has been developed. The preparation of the initial data for the operation of the algorithm provides for a research experiment to obtain average values of the temporal components of gestures. The developed algorithm is intended for use at the design stage of mobile software applications that will run on mobile devices with touch screens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
