Transforming Geography with Geospatial Technologies | Chapter 9 | Innovations in Science and Technology: Shaping a Sustainable Future (Vol. 2)

 

This paper explores the transformative impact of geospatial technologies in the field of geography. The specific objectives of the study include describing the role of main geospatial technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Global Positioning System (GPS), and Remote Sensing in contemporary geographical research. The study highlights the diverse applications of these technologies across various fields, examines future trends and emerging technologies, and reveals their potential impacts on geographical research and practices. Additionally, this paper assesses the challenges and limitations in the adoption and implementation of these technologies. Methodologically, the study is based on an extensive review of existing literature, including research papers from national and international journals and various books. The paper is structured into four sections, Section I covers GIS, Section II discusses GPS, Section III elaborates on Remote Sensing, and Section IV provides the conclusion. The discussion of the paper reveals that Geospatial technologies have revolutionized geographical research. GIS has transformed spatial data visualization, analysis, and interpretation, becoming essential in diverse fields.  Likewise, GPS technology provides unparalleled accuracy in positioning and data collection, enhancing our knowledge through applications in numerous fields. Besides, Remote sensing's ability to gather extensive data about the earth's surface and atmosphere is vital for environmental monitoring, disaster management, urban planning and infrastructure development, agriculture, etc. The integration of these technologies has led to significant innovations in geography, promising further advancements as addressed challenges related to data interpretation, signal interference, privacy, and ethical considerations. Holding and overcoming these challenges is crucial for realizing the full potential of GIS, GPS, and Remote Sensing in progressing geographical research.

An Invention of Smart Glove to Help the Elderly Patients | Chapter 1 | Advances and Challenges in Science and Technology Vol. 3

 Aging is typified as the progressive decline of physiological competencies required lasting and reproduction over time. Everyone in the planet should protect old patients and treat ruling class the way they concede possibility be handled. Most older nation are encountering strength problems as they age and are being placed in residences and orphanages. Elders are unable to visit doctors on a regular support to assess their fitness state. This article proposes a remedy for the old patients in the field by aiding them and bright them expected unafraid. The suggested arrangement takes use of many characteristics in the way that GPS and GSM modules, a pulse oximeter, an accelerometer, a touch sensor, and Bluetooth that communicate accompanying the Arduino. The suggested smart protection is used to assess temperature, discover falls, and monitor pulse rate in elderly things who are experience health problems. In this framework, for client health management, the proposed system is established supported movable health technology and engages a smart glove to license caregivers or physicians to line up as well as check the history of the patient's physiological dossier during welcome or her absence from the clinical center or home. These enumerations will assist them in care for older patients all the while challenging occasions for their survival. Furthermore, this smart glove is completely important for daughters's protection in order to hold them shielded from harm.

Impact of Application of Road Safety Control Measures by Tracking the Movement of Vehicles on Decreasing Incidents | Chapter 4 | Recent Progress in Science and Technology Vol. 9

 Vehicle accidents are main cause of end of life in most nations. The development in jeep industry has increased to a better extent than before. Action anticipate Traffic management measures (TMM) is wanted to achieve the energetic target for artery safety. Global positioning system (GPS) electronics is used to track the position of the vehicle. Aim of the study search out assess the decline in vehicle occurrence with the request of this electronics compared to premature years (two - years make inquiries study) at Petromaint Company in Alexandria, Egypt. Petromaint vehicle occurrence’ records for the years 2015 and 2016 were corrected and the accidents were analyzed. Also, Pre-devised structured interview inquiry was used to collect dossier from Petromaint drivers. Moreover, by applying the fleet administration strategy, car incidents' records for the age 2017 and 2018 were reviewed. The study displayed that the drivers' age of the occurrence free drivers (AFDs) (80%) have equal main ratios within the age groups of 25- and 35-age, which are 41.7 % each. Concerning the accident operating drivers (APDs), the adulthood (55.6%) is within the group age 45- age followed for one group age 35- years (33.3%) and none of the APDs are inside the group age 25- years. Also, this study shows that the plurality of the drivers are wedded and living alone, (42.4 %) and (66.7%) for AFDs and APDs individually; followed by being wedded and living with kin, (39.4%) and (33.3%) for AFDs and APDs respectively, and none of the APDs is distinct. Moreover, the results indicated that the portion of non-smokers are (72.2 %) and (44.4 %) among the AFDs and the APDs individually. While; the smoking employees smoke cigarettes, shisha or two together and all the hot APDs are regular smokers. Finally; the study explained that ultimate training meetings were presented all along 2017 and 2018 in part of the control measures on lowering vehicle accidents. Petromaint has used a Fleet Management Strategy, providing driving preparation programs by competent trainers, and operating emergency and makeing inquiries room all along 24-hours. This study highlighted the excellent results of decreasing automobile accident at Petromaint to nothing during the age 2017 and 2018 comparing to 2015 and 2016 as a result of the use of vehicle radio detecting and ranging.
