The paper investigates a prototype development of Internet of Things (IoT) application for traffic management. The retrofitted traffic light control solution is proposed and developed to support decision making of police officers. The system can figure out the congestion level of each road at a specific intersection with the help of RFID technology. The intention is to enhance sequencing and timing of traffic lights. A copy of information is also concurrently sent to the neighbours to support decision making at adjacent sites as well. Another feature of the system is the ability to track vehicles that are involved in crimes as well as illegal vehicles. The testbed prototype has been built successfully as a proof-of-the concept, to which more complicated features and further experiments can be applied.
Background: Design thinking (DT) describes three stages in the design thinking cycle: 1) inspiration, which embodies the initial problem or opportunity; 2) ideation, which encompasses the development and refinement of ideas; and 3) implementation, which involves the introduction and application of the derived solution.
Method: The prospective educational program evaluation July 2020 to December 2020. A 150 min interactive workshop regarding developing innovative elder pain care. Medical students will be grouping into four medical students: 1 technological student. Then they will be assigned to match with a technology student. The interprofessional education design thinking activity consists of three parts; a brief introduction, the brainstorming process to identified pain points by persona and user journey to generate the idea, and the prototype presentation.
Results: Forty sixth-year medical students and twelve technological students participated. 58% of medical students and 95% of technological students perceived DT as very helpful for their careers. However, only 30% of medical students and 60% of technological students were inspired to develop actual prototypes after the course. Nearly all of the students responded they comfortable with this interdisciplinary project-based style. Still, the time of the workshop is too limited, and among those responding with no interest pursue the project gave a reason that they lack time after rotating to other courses.
Conclusion: Most medical students and technological students perceived DT as beneficial for their career and displayed satisfy in this co-project style. However, finding matched schedule of two disciplines made long-term interpersonal education challenging.
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.
