Parking Pricing for a Sustainable Transport System
2014
Abstract The purpose of this study has been the develop of a model for designing an efficient parking pricing policy. The aim is an intelligent control and management system of parking pricing integrated with a redefinition of the circulation scheme for a limited traffic zone in the Central Business District (CBD) of Palermo. The transport demand over the entire area of the town has been studied in order to design various parking pricing scenarios with the application of an additional cost on parking inside the selected area of the CBD. This area attracts most of the private vehicular traffic and it is characterized by university faculties, schools, hospitals, offices and commercial areas. …
Towards the identification of species-specific monitoring protocol for the Italian flora of Community interest
2016
The ongoing activities for the identification of monitoring methods for the Italian flora of Community interest (FCI) are presented. The reference framework is the Directive 92/43/EEC. Monitoring is an obligation arising from Art. 11 and the results have to be reported every six years, according to Art. 17. In the last Italian National Report, covering the period 2007-2012, the status of the FCI was assessed using available knowledge and expert judgment, still revealing relevant lack of data for some plant species and, in turn, population parameters (Ercole and Giacanelli, 2014). To overcome these deficiencies, in 2015 began a project aims to set future monitoring activities and to optimize…
Designing for Mixed Reality Urban Exploration
2021
Funding Information: Acknowledgments. This work was supported by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (grant agreement no 601139) and the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research (MIUR) PON AIM project (id: AIM1875400-1, CUP: B74I18000210006). Publisher Copyright: © 2021. All Rights Reserved. This paper introduces a design framework for mixed reality urban exploration (MRUE), based on a concrete implementation in a historical city. The framework integrates different modalities, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and haptics-audio interfaces, as well as advanced features such as personalized recommendations, social exploration, and itinerary manage…
An Intelligent Car Driver for safe Navigation with Fuzzy Obstacle Avoidance.
2009
In order to respond effectively to the environment uncertainties, autonomous vehicles are generally equipped with sensors. The proposed car guidance system is equipped with an intelligent controller, based on fuzzy logic, which calculates the speed and wheels orientation in order to follow a path while it is avoiding unknown obstacles. Better fluidity of driving are obtained using future-path, car dimension and car position prevision. Vehicle symmetries also speed-up and simplify the guidance system reducing the inputs and the rules numbers.
Direzione normativa e teoria della mente
2015
Normative guidance is a way of influencing others’ behaviour which operates through the mind (through mental states and processes such as norm understanding, normative reasoning, belief in norm’s validity, choice to follow it, etc.). Knowledge of the relevant aspects of the mind has therefore a clear importance in order to improve normative guidance (increase its efficacy, rationalize it, moralize it, etc.). But the study of the relationship between mind and normativity is a too wide field, impossible to explore in its entirety: selection criteria are needed. In this article I propose some contributions to their elaboration. First, I point out the “phenomenon of normativity” (meant as the c…
Career Adaptability and re-employability after long periods of inactivity
2017
There has recently been an increasing interest in stimulating re-employment of unemployed workers by so-called active labor market policies. In Italy, the Fiat factory in Termini Imerese (Sicily) is one of the most important business cases in the study of the relationship between economic and psycho-social needs of an entire area in relation to the theme of the work importance. This paper is the result of an agreement signed between our University Department, the company interested to reintegrate ex-FIAT workers (BLUTEC), and the consulting firm who have in charge with this delicate transition process. We want to explore the psychosocial variables related to the long period of inactivity, s…
Guiding Student Thinking Through Teacher Questioning When Learning with Dynamic Representations
2021
Dynamic representations (e.g., dynamic geometry software GeoGebra for mathematics learning and PhET simulations for science learning) offer excellent opportunities for students to conduct investigations and to formulate explanations for the visualized phenomena. In order for this to be effective, students need guidance, for example, for planning their investigations and reflecting on their actions. One way to support students is by prompting them by using questions that are adapted to the students’ current situation. This chapter focuses on how pre-service teachers provide guidance for students through questioning and by both structuring and problematizing student learning. Data comes from …
Educazione formale e informale per il successo formativo nell'Istituto Professionale
2016
La ricerca è inserita nell’ambito del progetto PRIN dal titolo “Successo formativo, inclusione e coesione sociale: strategie innovative, ICT e modelli valutativi” che si è concluso il 28 febbraio 2016. In un territorio economicamente depresso e con un alto tasso di delinquenza minorile, per prevenire l’uscita dal sistema dell’istruzione e della formazione degli adolescenti di età compresa fra i 14 e i 18 anni occorre fare rete tra scuola, famiglia, mondo del lavoro e agenzie formative non formali localmente presenti. In tal senso un istituto professionale, radicato in uno specifico contesto socio-culturale, può svolgere una funzione di raccordo tra i diversi soggetti interessati a prevenire…
Kontemplativ, handlingsrettet spiritualitet - Stille stund og ledelse i Oxfordbevegelsen belyst ved nedtegnelser fra Erling Wikborg
2014
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/tt/2014/04/kontemplativ_handlingsrettet_spiritualitet_-_stille_stund_ Contemplation and belief in guidance from God had a distinct design in the international ecumenical revival the Oxford Group which gained great support in the interwar period. In this movement, contemplation, called quiet time, was focused on intention and action in order to grasp and carry out God’s guidance. The article examines teaching about and practice of quiet time and guidance in the Oxford Group and shows how these phenomena relate to a broader historical context within Christianity. Note…
