El presente artículo muestra el desarrollo de una aplicación para dispositivos móviles con sistema operativo iOS, pensado para la capacitación de diferentes usuarios de equipos especializados. La aplicación móvil es capaz de conectarse a la nube y por medio de un sistema de búsqueda manual o a través de un código QR, puede obtener la información del equipo de interés para capacitarse, teniendo acceso a vídeo tutoriales y manuales de operación, logrando una interacción amigable para el usuario. Los servicios de Google Firebase se utilizaron como nube para poder guardar la información de los equipos y el registro de los usuarios.

“…The advent of GPS trackers, which are sensors capable of location awareness, has significantly transformed the potential for gathering detailed information about human movements when compared with conventional methods like travel surveys, space-time diaries, or laborious interviews. The utilization of spatial and temporal data combined and collected from GPS trackers has been extensive and has proven valuable in examining various aspects of mobility, such as addressing contemporary mobile navigation applications [31], assessing urban transport [32,33], evaluating road network quality [34,35], and studying population transport [36], among other applications.…”

The rapid urbanization of cities often brings about complex mobility issues, such as traffic congestion that, when unplanned, results in decreased productivity and quality of life. While many cities have adopted smart city initiatives to capture and monitor mobility, applying these in a developing country context remains a challenge when infrastructure and high-resolution spatial and temporal data are lacking. In this work, we use GPS data obtained from probe vehicles (a mix of public and private transport vehicles) within the city of Baguio, The Philippines, to develop and propose the Zone-based Speed Index (ZSI), a mobility index based on the speed clusters observed in this city. The ZSI dynamically infers monthly speed thresholds to classify zones as fast or slow and successfully captures the decrease in vehicle mobility associated with the impact of typhoons and holidays. Thus, it can be used to characterize urban vehicle mobility with high (hourly) resolution. Insights from the use of our dynamic mobility index are useful in the development and optimization of transportation systems, in monitoring the ease of vehicle mobility, and in the performance assessment of smart city initiatives, which are much needed in tourism hotspots.

“…Educating future generations in programming and computational thinking is not trivial, and many different platforms and teaching approaches can be used for this purpose [5][6][7]. Swift is one tool for learning programming, and it is a development tool specially designed for designing iOS applications [8,9]. Swift Playgrounds, announced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2016, is an innovative and powerful app and an exceptionally simple way to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms using the power of Swift.…”

Computational thinking courses can cultivate students’ ability to apply logic in the fields of mathematics and information science. The new 12-year Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines were implemented in Fall 2019 in Taiwan. Courses on computational thinking, problem solving, and programming are contained in the technology education field in junior and senior high schools. Swift Playgrounds is an innovative app for the iPad and Mac that makes learning Swift interactive and fun. No programming knowledge is required to use Swift Playgrounds, making it very suitable for beginners. This study was carried out by letting elementary school teachers and students participate in Swift Playgrounds computational thinking courses. By trying this app, teachers of different disciplines attempted to realize more learning situations. Students learned how to cope with functions and loop skills by playing with “Byte”, which is a character in Swift Playgrounds. There were three purposes for this study: first, designing a computational thinking course for the most basic part, “Hello! Byte”, in Swift Playgrounds; second, assigning elementary school teachers to assess the qualitative analysis of tasks in Swift Playgrounds; and third, assigning elementary school students to do the tasks and assign a difficulty index in Swift Playgrounds after learning with this app. The results show that most teachers considered this approach to be able to improve logical thinking and inferential capability after assessing, and most students considered functions and loops quite difficult after using the app. According to the students’ indices, about 86 percent of students considered that adding commands is easy, and about 37 percent of students considered that functions are easy. On the other hand, about 24 percent of students considered that applying the Slotted Stairways is difficult, and about 34 percent of students considered that using loops is hard. It is suggested that more instructions for the course or extendibility for classes is required.
