We suggest an alternative indicator based on the car sales price placed on the Internet for measuring economic inequality among regions. The regional data on car prices in Germany were downloaded from two specialised websites http://www.mobile.de and http://www.autoscout24.de in December 2011....

This study aimed to suggest the standards of evaluating car navigation app by examining and categorizing app's attributes. This study suggested four main criteria for app evaluation model; Functionality, Usability, Networking ability and Additional features and three sub-criteria belonging each...

Connected to various media technologies such as smart phones or navigation systems, automobiles today are transforming into so-called "smart cars". Smart cars are not just mechanical devices, but information media systems. The smart car is a prosthesis that assists the driver, enhancing the...

Road transport causes one fifth of the EU's total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), which are especially high in cities. A suggested solution to this situation is the introduction of electric vehicles (EV). However, evidence from European countries shows that, without any governmental support,...
