Using the smartphone in carpooling for new mobility services

The principle of dynamic carpooling is in local real-time to send the "user-carpooler." If we choose to travel with standard vehicles, we can contact the service a few minutes before departure. The service then searches for the best driver to give the desired car-sharing service on the chosen route. In recent years, there has been growing creation of modern information and communication technology, particularly with the growth of the Internet and mobile telephones. New knowledge and networking systems are therefore closely linked with the changing area of mobility. Policies and processes introduced for sustainable mobility in this field. New forms of transportation aim to find a space for them and promote emerging mobility technologies such as shared cars. It has been shown that these programs utilize modern knowledge and communication technology, particularly recently, to evolve via telephone. The aim of this project is, in this sense, to decide how often smartphone car sharing access can be utilized. This tool seems important in specific typical vehicle use encounters and seems a significant factor in growing its scope by simplifying access and use. The method is versatile and provides a high standard of operation with a reasonable number of participants: the probability of having a shared vehicle is reasonable. This scheme complements mass transit – on-demand and daily – and complementary options such as bicycle terminals

Rule of Thumb: Mobiles for governance in India

Between 1996 and 2012, India's standing dropped on five of the six indicators of governance developed by the World Bank. Today, with over 900 million mobile phone subscriptions, India's mobile revolution presents an unprecedented opportunity to address this deficit and bring good governance to the farthest corners of the country. Adding 10 mobile phones per 100 people in a developing country can lead to half a point of additional GDP growth per person. Rule of Thumb makes a case for m-governance, and for reimagining the ways in which governments and citizens function, transact and interact with each other. It also explores how, in India and the world over, non-profits and social businesses are marrying the ubiquity of mobile technology with governance systems and processes to produce great benefits for citizens and governments alike.

Education Governance in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper addresses the issue of education governance in SSA in an attempt to shed light on the status of and developments in this area with a focus on lessons learned from various efforts across the region and recommendations on how to strengthen governance of secondary education. The paper is intended to serve as a background paper on secondary education governance in SSA which will be used to contribute to a more comprehensive publication on secondary education in SSA and the future of work. The paper addresses two key topics under secondary education governance: 1) Accountability as an important aspect of education governance, and 2) the need for enhancing institutional capacity to collect and use educational statistics, and how effective use of data can support education governance.
