This paper proposes EPMA, an innovative persuasive framework, for supporting and evaluating an individual's travelling attitude towards sustainable mobility. EPMA emphasises the importance of engaging mobile application users to improve their travel habits and adopt a sustainable travelling attitude through appropriate motivation and feedback. This energy feedback is the new element of EPMA compared to existing frameworks for assessing this behavioural travel change. An application mockup named Epma_App, which embeds the functionality of EPMA, is presented and evaluated. The results indicate that the participants are willing to change their travelling habits towards more sustainable options and intend to use Epma_App for this change. Moreover, they are eager to provide evaluation feedback regularly to improve the travel services offered. Furthermore, the ease of use and effectiveness of Epma_App result in increasing the intention to use it not only for navigation purposes but also in fostering a long-life eco-friendly attitude.

The next generation heterogeneous networks (hetnet) refer to a complex eco system of radio cells with varying coverage ranges and technologies that interoperate to deliver the required capacity and coverage. This paper addresses the impact of large scale transmissions and analyses the performance of a typical user distribution in an urban multi-tier hetnet. A Boolean scheme of building blockage has been used to abstract the urban environment, which affects the architecture of hetnet with millimetre wave (mmW) access. A distribution mechanism is proposed to enable the indoor users to operate in mmW band whereas the outdoor users to operate in microwave (μWave) band. An indoor user can be connected with mmW band if the line-of-sight (LOS) link exists. Otherwise, the exploitation is provided with μWave band to enhance the coverage. By employing tools from stochastic geometry, the mathematical expressions are derived for coverage probability, rate and spatial average channel capacity of a user in indoor and outdoor environments. The exact mathematical results show that an impact of small cell occupation ratio results in maximised spatial average channel capacity of an outdoor hetnet. The significant enhancement is provided with mmW small cell in terms of rate and coverage.

This paper examined the moderating impact of perceived transparency and accountability (PTA) on the adoption of mobile government services. The technology acceptance model (TAM) was used as the theoretical foundation and the data analysis was completed with SPSS and SmartPLS. The study was based on data collected from 320 Chinese college students in the city of Ganzhou. The results demonstrate that PTA does not moderate the impact of perceived usefulness and trust in government on the intention to adopt mobile government services. However, PTA showed a significant moderating effect on the relationship between both perceived ease of use and citizen empowerment on the intention to use mobile government services. It was also revealed that while perceived usefulness was not a significant predictor of the intention to use mobile government services, it was, however, a significant determinant of trust in government. Contrary to our expectations both citizen empowerment and trust in government do not predict the intention to use mobile government services. The managerial and theoretical implications of these results are deliberated.
