Abstract

Detecting learner attention is an essential part of learning assessment. Consequently, it becomes an essential requirement for adaptive intelligent teaching systems, to identify specific needs and anticipate orientations. In this article, we propose a new model of a connected smart classroom, based on the internet of things, artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect in real time learners' attention and marking their presence during the execution of a teacher-assisted pedagogical activity, as well as to adapt the most suitable learning objects to these learners. The proposed model is based on head position, gaze direction, yawning and eye-state analysis as facial landmarks detected by cameras connected via the Bluetooth low energy network and transmitted to a developed convolutional neural network. In addition, a series of experiments have been conducted to evaluate the performance and efficiency of the model developed. The findings demonstrate that the model developed can be used to precisely capture the status of learners in the classroom in terms of attention and identification. In this way, these interesting findings can be used to adapt teaching activities to the individual needs of learners, and to identify areas where they have difficulties and needs extra help.

Abstract

Urban traffic systems are increasingly burdened by the rising prevalence of motorcycles, particularly in cities like Marrakech where they significantly influence traffic dynamics and congestion. This paper investigates the impact of motorcycle positioning on start-up lost time at signalized intersections, employing a comprehensive methodology that integrates real-world data collection and advanced simulation techniques. Using mobile phone cameras, traffic data were captured at key intersections, and the positioning and movements of motorcycles were analyzed using the YOLOv10 deep learning algorithm. These empirical data informed simulations carried out with the simulation of urban mobility (SUMO) tool to explore various motorcycle positioning strategies. The study reveals that motorcycles positioned close to cars exacerbate congestion, extending travel times and increasing queue lengths. Conversely, scenarios with dedicated motorcycle lanes demonstrate reduced congestion and smoother traffic flows. These findings highlight the critical role of strategic motorcycle positioning in enhancing urban traffic efficiency and suggest that dedicated motorcycle lanes could significantly improve overall traffic management.
