“…The Taiwanese government increased the fines for drivers of cars and motorcycles who didnot respect pedestrian priority [3]. According to pedestrian habits in the past ten years, using handheld devices or mobile phones caused pedestrians not to pay attention to traffic or environmental dangers [4,5]. Therefore, various methods to ensure pedestrian safety have been proposed, such as 3D crosswalks [6] and special road visual features [7] to provide adequate warning and reduce speed [8] for drivers and pedestrians.However, to provide useful warning systems for drivers and pedestrians, the attentiveness of drivers and pedestrians must be considered.…”

In Taiwan, pedestrians are run over by vehicles often in many intersectionsdue to poor lighting or lack of traffic lights. Thus, we developed a green energy-driven automatic warning system to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians. A variety of sensing modules, such as Hall sensors and coil loops, were used in the system to detect approachingvehicles. When an approaching vehicle was detected, the LED warning light warned pedestrians and drivers. In addition, according to data released by the government, sensors or detectors were set up at a sufficient distance from the crosswalk to ensure that the vehicle could stop before it reached the sidewalk. In the system, green energy was used to ensure that the entire system was operated for a long time and reduced energy consumption. It was verified that the proposed system could be used in various environments such as suburbs or remote intersections to improve safety.

“…The rise of electronic media has led to its use by students in economically developed areas approaching that of school hours, essentially becoming a “second classroom” for students [ 2 ]. However, excessive use of electronic media can have negative impact on physical [ 3 ], psychological [ 4 ], and social well-being [ 5 ]. The Core Messages and Interpretation of Health Education for Chinese Adolescents (2018 edition) explicitly states that the use of e-products by adolescents, except for learning purposes, should not exceed one hour in order to prevent visual health damage [ 6 ].…”

Objective With the prevalence of electronic media use among Chinese adolescents and concerns regarding its potential negative consequences on their health and development, this study investigated the relationship between physical exercise and electronic media use. Utilizing data from the China Education Panel Survey, we examine the impact of physical activity on adolescents’ electronic media use. Methods A simultaneous equation model, including two-stage least square and three-stage least square, was employed to estimate the impact of physical activity on electronic media use among adolescents. Self-control theory and media addiction theory were also used to analyze electronic media use in adolescents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyzed the data. Results Chinese adolescents dedicated a substantial amount of time, averaging 2.95 hours per day, to electronic media activities. Increasing physical activity demonstrated an effective means to reduce electronic media use. Furthermore, the impact of physical activity on electronic media use exhibited urban-rural stratification, with family factors related to social class status primarily influencing electronic media use among urban students, while physical activity has a more pronounced influence among rural students. Conclusions Promoting physical activity represents a compelling and effective strategy for curbing excessive electronic media use among Chinese adolescents, particularly in rural areas where physical activity has a stronger influence. In addition, controlling media entertainment and recreation time and enhancing social cohesion can help to weaken media interest. While changing the social class status of families in urban areas may be difficult in the short term, parents should be aware that physical exercise is an effective way to reduce their children’s use of electronic media. Our findings suggested that promoting physical activity may be a promising strategy for reducing excessive electronic media use among Chinese adolescents, particularly in rural areas where physical activity has a stronger influence.
