【實用旅遊app】UC Berkeley XMobile FlexPass|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

This app is to be used by UC Berkeley C and F permit holders participating in the XMobile FlexPass research study.*** App Intro ***This application is designed to collect information for a research study at the University of California, Berkeley. The study is being led by Prof. Raja Sengupta (PI) and his research group at the XMobile Lab. The goal of the study is to understand parking behavior and mode usage as people commute to campus. We will use this information to make recommendations for changes that improve parking usage on campus and reduce emissions.What are the purposes of this study?Test mobile technology for greener and better service to campus parking permit holders. Current research questions include:* Can parking shortages be discovered quickly with help from our permit holder’s smartphones?* Can we detect which permit holder is being forced to drive around looking for parking?* Discovery of smart parking pricing strategies that improve parking availability and contribute to a greener campus.The study is conducted by UCB’s Department of Parking & Transportation in collaboration with UCB’s XMobile Lab.What does the app do?With your permission, the app will passively collect location data enabling the study team to discover parking shortages as they are happening, and find permit holders having to drive around looking for parking. The app will also prompt users to indicate their expected mode of travel for the next day. Users will be randomly chosen to receive rebates for working days on which you do not park on campus during the study period. The collected data is encrypted and secured in IST’s Cloud Computing Services. What will researchers do with the data?Data will not be shared with your supervisor or work unit or any other party. It will be used solely for research aimed at improving campus transportation services as stated in the Informed Consent Form (https://gogreen.berkeley.edu/flexpass/register/informedconsentform)What benefit will I receive for participating?We will thank all participants running the mobile App (step 2) with a $50 Amazon gift card. (The App test runs through May 1, 2015) The gift card will be emailed to you at the end of the semester.You may also be chosen at random to receive rebates for working days on which you do not park on campus during the study period. (February 1-May 1, 2015).You will be able to claim the rebate in just a few seconds by responding to an alert from the FlexPass app. The rebates will accumulate over the semester and will be added to your June 2015 paycheck.We did our best to optimise the battery background performance of the app because continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. If you experience any battery issues running the app please contact us directly so that we help you resolve the issue.
