The overall aim of this project is to accommodate through a University based Science Shop (called InMoSion) to develop all necessary expertise and know-how for assisting communities with the deployment of an innovative transportation system to meet the mobility needs of elder and mobility challenged Europeans. The system will be a flexible, technologically advanced demand based paratransit system. The InMoSion project will be lead by the University of Thessaly in Volos, Greece and will support at first a Greek Capodistrian Municipality, the Municipality of Philippi, to deploy a paratransit system in order to enhance the mobility in the area. After that, the InMoSion project will help communities across Europe and elsewhere that want to investigate the potential deployment of such a demand based paratransit system. The Science Shop will develop all necessary know how through this initiative and will create a core group of students and researchers that can support free of charge communities through the whole process: from conception, feasibility analysis, needs analysis, requirements analysis, system design, yield management, deployment, evaluation and maintenance. It is a well known fact that Europeans are rapidly aging, mainly due to the low birth-rate and the increase in people's lifespan; new technologically advanced and flexible transportation solutions must be developed in order to address their constantly growing mobility challenges. Older people are usually unable to drive but prefer to live in low-density suburban locations. The transportation systems in these areas are often quite inadequate, which creates serious mobility problems, especially for elderly and disabled people. Note here that while the elderly and disabled are the target customers for the proposed Science Shop, such a service may be expanded to any potential traveller in the future given that the system will be broadly available to meet their needs.

Daha Yaşanabilir Kentler İçin Mikro Ölçek Bir Yürünebilirlik Modeli
Belge, Züleyha Sara; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge (2017-01-01)
Türkiye’de ve dünyada önemi artan planlama ve tasarım konularından biri olan yürünebilirlik, tarihi kent merkezlerinin korunması ve yenidencanlandırılması, sağlıklı toplumların yaratılması, sürdürülebilir ve yaşanabilir kentlerin geliştirilmesi için benimsenen bir kentsel stratejidir. Türkiye’de 2000’li yılların başında yürünebilirlik engelli insanların kentsel mekâna erişebilirliğinin artırılması bağlamında önem kazanmıştır. 2013 yılından itibaren Türkiye’de Sağlıklı Beslenme ve Hareketli Hayat Programı’nı...
Quantum Transport Mode in Graphene Nanoribbon Based Transistor
Hedayat, Sayed Norollah; Ahmadi, Mohammad Taghi; Sedghi, Hassan; Goudarzi, Hadi; Moradi, Shahram (American Scientific Publishers, 2017-09-01)
Graphene has incredible carrier transport property with high application opportunity at single molecule level, which composes it as promising materials on nano electronic application. In order to develop the new device such as graphene nanoribbon transistor, Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) and nanowire based devices, it is essential to investigate the quantum limit in low dimensional systems. In this paper transmission coefficient of the schottky structure in the graphene based transistor i...
Design, development and manufacturing of an all terrain modular robot platform
Kul, Mustafa Cihangir; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
The aim of this thesis is to create a flexible multi-purpose modular all terrain robot platform, which has the potential to be used in commercial applications as well as in education and research. In developing this robot platform, it is aimed to use readily available commercial products as much as possible in order to keep the cost of the product low, increase maintainability, and benefit from the improvements made to these components in time. The modularity is attained by designing a two wheeled base modu...
Intelligent distributed cognitive-based open learning system for schools (ICLASS)
Akar, Gözde(2008-6-30)
The iClass project will develop an intelligent cognitive-based open learning system and environment, adapted to individual learners' needs and ensure their take-up in the education sector at a European level. This will be achieved by creating:- an advanced learning system, founded on an ontology-based architecture for sequencing of knowledge and adaptive to learner's level of understanding and learning style by dynamically creating individualized learning objects;- a distributed, collaborative environment w...
Solar-thermal driven drying technologies for large-scale industrial applications: State of the art, gaps, and opportunities
Kamfa, In'am; Fluch, Juergen; Bartali, Ruben; Baker, Derek Keıth (2020-7-01)
Research and Innovation (R&I) on Large-scale Industrial Solar-thermal driven Drying technologies (LISDs) is one of the strategies required to transition to a low-carbon energy future. The objective for this work is to guide future R&I on LISDs by defining the state of the art, gaps, and opportunities. To provide a high-level perspective on the current state of solar drying research, results are presented from an analysis of the content relevant to LISDs found in 45 solar drying Review Articles published in ...
