The Prediction of Optimal Route of City Transportation Based on Passenger Occ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Currently, the existence of city transport is increasingly eliminated by private vehicles such as
cars and motorcycles. This situation is further exacerbated by the behavior of city transport drivers who are
less discipline in driving, or in picking up and dropping off their passengers. The bad behavior is partly
caused by the low level of passenger occupancy. The drivers try to search for passengers as much as
possible but often ignore the traffic rules. To overcome this problem, an optimal transport route with high
passenger potential is required. Therefore, this study investigated the optimal route of city transport based
on the passenger occupancy rate in the city of Bandung as the case study. The method employed for
determining the optimal route is Genetic algorithm combined with Ordinary Kriging method used for the
process of passenger prediction and fitness calculation. The optimal routes are those with higher
occupancy rate. The analysis results showed that the use of the Genetic algorithm with a low number of
generations succeed in creating new optimal routes even though the increase is not too high the maximum
only reaches 4%.This result is certainly important enough to be used in making better public transport
routes.

Parking space in the heart of Pakistan, Lahore, is the need of the people as well as a revenue-generating source for the City District Government, Lahore (Now MCL). For a long time, the parking sites were auctioned to contractors by the CDGL. After the contract was awarded, a small fee was deposited in the Government treasury but the charges were arbitrarily charged causing revenue loss to the Government.
Looking into the matter above, CDGL moved a summery to the CM for making a parking authority who would enter into a Private Public Partnership with a single contractor, who would modernize the parking by introducing latest technology and develop parking that, would facilitate the public as well as generate revenue for the Government. The project ran into jeopardy, as the awarding of contract got late and the authority having no previous Parking Management experience re-employed, either the contractors themselves who used to run the sites previously or the employees of the contractors. The contractors where used to the “Parchi System” that still exists, leaving the government with the same revenue embezzlement and loss as before.
The aim of the project is to develop a Mobile Based Parking Revenue Collection System, with a Web Based Portal, to facilitate the Government to collect and manage the revenue and monitor activities at the parking sites on real time basis and get rid of the Parchi System. Other than the local Governments, this system can be applicable to Hospital managements or Mall managements to operate their parking and can use this software to monitor their revenue.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Executive Summary
BRTC is a popular and government organization. It is known all over
the world which is used in various ways by the different people from
involving using vehicles in the transportation way. It helps in the
place to place to connect one another. So one cannot stay without it.
Some scholars justify this report and suggest that many subjects have
found in this report. Those are – the way of using BRTC, the positive
and the negative roles of services about BRTC, compare the using of
BRTC, also show here service quality through SERVQUAL model.
Some recommendations are included at the end of this report that may
follow to change the position of this organization. The need of
analyzing customer data and measuring customer satisfaction has
been originated from my experience where it is found these problems
are facing problem and their satisfaction level is not uniform in
nature, holds confusing dispersion in each other’s opinion. To fulfill
my internship objectives and finding a solution to this problem, it
became an intuitive decision to know about the customers, their
emphasized stimulus of satisfaction and finally their overall
satisfaction level upon which some specific conclusion could be made
along with complete understanding of the whole scenario.
The research data for analysis and measurement has been collected by
a standard survey questionnaire for this type of marketing research;
which includes both specific and general statement of customer
satisfaction on this service.
After analyzing data by applying popular descriptive statistical
techniques and tools, it is found that the customers sample size is
representing the population in terms of satisfaction. As the result from
survey is the main finding of research, so it can be said that the result
is representing quantitatively and qualitatively, the customer
satisfaction.

7. 1. Introduction
1.1. Background
Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) was established as a
government corporate transport body under the ordinance No VII of 1961
with a view to providing modern mass communication service to esteemed
passengers throughout the country. Moreover, BRTC is meant to play
strategic interventional role in road transport sector and to render emergency
service during times of natural calamities. BRTC has been able to carry out
these services with the fullest satisfaction of the stake holders.
Historically speaking, the then EPRTC, though started its journey in the year
1961 but the gallop in real sense, started right after the victory in the glorious
Liberation War in 1971. BRTC got re-organized after the liberation war
under the direct supervision and dynamic instruction of the Founder of the
new independent Bangladesh and Father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman. New fleets of buses and trucks have been introduced in
different times. Presently, BRTC is the proud owner of 1116 number of
buses and 140 numbers of trucks though this number is not enough to
provide the desired service to the stake holders. Relentless efforts are being
carried out to run BRTC in its full capacity.
1.2. Significance of the study
• This is digital bus service in Bangladesh,
• This also include training service in their service system,
• Their model of bus is highly measurable,
• Their workshop is so much upgraded.
1.3. Scope of the study
One of the significant objectives of BRTC is to provide training facilities for
drivers and mechanics in order to develop skilled manpower in the transport
1
8. sector for both home and abroad. BRTC, on its part, provides comprehensive
institutional training to the trainees. It is obvious that the drivers trainees
intend to get their driving license as soon as possible after the completion of
their training period. For this reason, BRTC has introduced one stop service.
At present, the stipulated competency board for providing driving license
can only be held in 03 training institutes out of 17. So, one stop service for
the trainees in complete package can be provided only from three training
institutes. Effort is going on to provide one stop service to other training
institutes as well. People will feel attracted to institutionalized training and
the country will have skilled drivers which is a high demanding facet from
every corner of the society.
1.4. Objectives of the study
2
To operate road transport services for both passengers and cargo.
To provide safe, reliable and efficient transport service at an
affordable fare.
To facilitate private sector in transport service and introduction of
new routes.
To play strategic interventional role at the time of emergency.
To promote tourism.
To provide training facilities for Drivers, Mechanics and in
transport management in order to develop skilled manpower in the
road transport sector for both home and abroad.
To utilize BRTC's land and properties for additional revenue
earnings for subsidizing the unprofitable bus routes and services
for disabled, women's, students, government employees, poor and
destitute etc.
To contract out and sub-contract the buses to the able private
owners so as to promote competition for quality services and co-existence
of the public-private relationship in the road transport
9. 3
sector for greater private sector participation in the operation of
BRTC buses.
To research vehicle and engine types and safety considerations for
bringing harmony in operation of the bus and truck services and to
combat the air pollution's factor for better environment.
1.5. Methodology
i. Type of Research design
The research can be termed as Quantitative Research which has mainly
conducted by Primary Direct Survey data. The data are being quantified and
generalized to find a result that can measure and describe the level of
customer satisfaction. The research also includes some sort of qualitative
data to generalize the demographic of respondent so that overall result gets
a perfect and justified round-up. The analytical data has collected from a
simple, fixed direct survey questionnaire which is structured and analyzed
by descriptive statistical techniques. It also could recommend a final course
of action on the basis of result which could help the customer and software
authority to decide about their future course of action.
ii. Sources of Data
The data needed for doing research has been fetched from two types of
sources. First one is the Primary source of data, refers to sources from which
primary data are being collected. This primary data has originated from
customer. Another source is secondary that supplies secondary data to
research and they are indirectly applied to research as helping material.

iii. Data collection procedure
This has been done from 2nd September to 12th September, 2014 in Mirpur-
14. Data is collected during 10 days full formal hour.
iv. Research instrument
The research can be termed as Quantitative Research which has mainly
conducted by Primary Direct Survey data. The data are being quantified and
generalized to find a result that can measure and describe the level of
customer satisfaction. The research also includes some sort of qualitative
data to generalize the demographic of respondent so that overall result gets
a perfect and justified round-up. The analytical data has collected from a
simple, fixed direct survey questionnaire which is structured and analyzed
by descriptive statistical techniques. It also could recommend a final course
of action on the basis of result which could help the customer about their
future course of action.
v. Scaling Technique
The scaling technique that has been used in my survey questionnaire is
called Liker scale which is one of the most prominent, effective and easy
itemized scale of measurement. It has five response categories from
“Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree” which requires the respondents to
indicate a degree of agreement or disagreement with each of a series of
statements related to stimulus objects. It contains the characteristics of both
main form of interval and ordinal scale. It possesses the characteristics of
description, order and distance. This scale is being widely used in marketing
research of customer satisfaction and it is a popular technique for online
surveys. Though its time consuming to prepare, administer, answer and
evaluate but customer can understand it easily.
11. vi. Sampling plan
5
a. Population
To complete this survey, I take people from the area of Mirpur-14.
b. Sampling frame
I meet with respondents my area; I find them more or less included in my
list. For avoiding sampling frame error, I have taken some officers of my
branch into my research as they are also the user of different banks credit
card and have provided rational rating. Before getting their remarks or
participation, I had to confirm that their identity will not be included in the
research data or analysis and I had to do what they instructed me to do. I
had maintained a diary to follow my sampling frame.
c. Selecting Sampling Technique
Selecting the sampling technique involves several decision of a broader
nature. The technique has three primary parts of sampling technique and
from which I have selected the Sampling without Replacement which
refers to a technique in which the element from sampling frame are
removed from it once it’s been included for sample. There is no second
chance to get into the frame to become an element. I carefully monitored
this process so that no one gets repeat entry within my sample and analysis.
I have used the Judgmental Sampling technique which is a non-probabilistic
sampling technique; no element will come twice in the
research by chance as the selection of element is directed by my judgment.
When I found any credit cardholder in my branch, I just followed him
when he or she is done with work. I introduced myself and requested to
talk with me for a while about the credit card and his satisfaction factor.
After judging the impression of element towards the credit card and its
attributes, I gave a survey questionnaire to the element with his or her
permission. I used my cognitive judgment and intuition to find perfect
elements that has eagerness, patience, knowledge and statement to be put in
my research. I am confident and also lucky to find elements with different
characteristics. The technique was convenient for me to apply as broad
target population was not involved.
12. 6
d. Sample elements
The questionnaire is needed to complete report.
e. Sample Size
The sample size has been 30.
f. Time period and data collection
I take 10 days from 1st September April 10th September to complete this
survey.
vii. Data Analysis
The analysis of survey data is very difficult and coherent job to do for a
researcher. Everything that has been mentioned in the methodology gets
application and implementation here. After analyzing the data collected
from primary and secondary sources, the result on the topic comes out and
represent what is intended to.
It is a quantitative research that mostly has quantitative data with few
qualitative data too. The primary data which is the survey data has been put
into application by using some descriptive statistical techniques. There are
five ways to analyze the primary data. I have preferred to choose the
descriptive way here which uses mean/median/mode to find the central
limit tendency of data and standard deviation, variance to show the level of
dispersion from central limit. As the research have both exploratory and
conclusive characteristics in a balance along with interval scale of
measurement, it is strongly advisable by theory to use.
1.6. Limitations
We have got inadequate of time to time to accomplish our survey.
The numbers of students were not reliable for the research. We
surveyed on 30 persons. This may not cover an ideal sample.
They do not tell us truth in our survey.
13. 7
The students of public university are too lazy to give us sufficient
time and information.
Our budget was limited.
Our investigation is not fully international but for compare and
taking improvement, we take some surveys report on some countries.
Some of our members were not active to get the information of this
investigation.
Male and female were not equally accepting this investigation.
Last of all, we are not regular writing in report.

Heavy Repair of all fleet of BRTC in ICWS
A huge number of buses have been placed under heavy repair since last 07 years
which is preventing BRTC from operating with its full capacity. This present
government realizing the magnitude of corruption and non availability of
enough BRTC buses in roads, came forward with taka 8.00 crore to repair/
rebuild those buses and give a lucrative shape to this organization. BRTC has
already completed this rebuild process of 110 single decker and double decker
buses in their Integrated Central Work shop (ICWS) located at Gazipur at much
cheaper repair cost.
Central Workshop (CWS) at Tejgaon, Dhaka
Jeeps, cars and buses of Government, Autonomous body, Corporation and other
organizations are repaired and maintained here.
2.4. SERVQUAL model
SERVQUAL, later called RATER, is a quality management framework.
SERVQUAL was developed in the mid-1980s by Zeithaml, Parasuraman
Berry to measure quality in the service sector. By the early 1990s, the authors
had refined the model to five factors that enable the acronym RATER:
i. Reliability
Reliability is defined he ability to perform the promised service dependably and
accurately.
19. 13

3. Findings
In order to measure the ethical issues of customer product using a series of
questions were asked to the customers with the help of a questionnaire, the data
from these questions are tabulated below. For clear understanding, the overall
satisfaction has been divided into satisfaction with the package and satisfaction
with the after sales service. As already mentioned, the survey was conducted
among thirty BRTC subscribers; it was conducted in three way direct
appointment, over telephone and with the help of email.
I asked total twenty two closed end question to thirty subscribers. In the basis of
strongly agree to strongly disagree. So the point of strongly agree is 5, and
strongly disagree is 1.
So the highest point for a question is 150 (30*5) and the lowest point is 30
(30*1). Here I find out the total point for each question and also find out the
average point of each question.
From the total point and average point I divided in to three category of
subscribers, satisfied subscribers, moderate subscribers and not satisfied
subscribers.
21. If the average point is more than 4, then satisfied subscribers.
If the average point is more than 3, then moderate subscribers.
If the average point is less than 3, then not satisfied subscribers.

5. Conclusion
It is already known that BRTC in Bangladesh is serviced in different styles and
ways. So, most of the people can like to take the services of BRTC.
The findings of this report show here the regular performance is qualified but
not satisfactory for the Bangladesh people. So it is necessary their services and
training workshop are highly qualified but not use in proper way.
For take a good carrier for organization, it is necessary, to see the people want
and how their performance will be can match with their mind according to
SERVQUAL model.

24. 6. Recommendation
BRTC is now the upgraded service organization in transformation sector. But
they cannot try to increase their services. Because-
It is a governmental organization that is not increasable site in
Bangladesh.
Their assets are spoil mostly in the political sides.
Their employees are not helpful to each other.
