Summary of "Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic"
Draft #1

In the article “Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic”, Tay (2018) emphasizes on the use of smart technology to improve the traffic system in Singapore over the years. Since Singapore’s independence, its main challenge is to accommodate to the increasing population with limited amount of space available. Tay claimed that the current system, 1975 Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) requires intensive manual labor which can be physically exhausting. The case study mentioned that Land Transport Authority (LTA) has approached the issue by introducing an automated system called Intelligent Transport System (ITS). This helps in controlling the traffic system and maximize road networks to ease users’ road journey. Tay concluded that Singapore is striving to become a more liveable city and provide better quality living by enhancing road journey for its citizens. As traffic in Singapore is getting complicated, advancement in technology plays an important role in ensuring smooth traffic for everyone.

    Hi Tiara, the summary outline was elaborated clearly however there are a few points that my team would like to highlight.

    1) Citation presented were clear. (Sophisticated)

    2) Key points are paraphrased clearly. (Sophisticated)

    3) Firstly, we feel that the main point doesn’t consist of supporting the first statement. It directly explain about the problems. (Developing)

    4) Secondly, you specifically mentioned one example of the development for transport system [This shows that the summary only mentioned 1 of the problem yet it is not the only solution to the problem] (Developing)

    5) Sentence structure
    -> "Therefore, Tay mentioned that the government has approached the issue by introducing an automated system called Intelligent Transport System (ITS) – used control traffic system using technology and maximize road networks to ease users’ road journey." [Should try to simplify the sentence as it is quite lengthy] (Competent)

Introduction Formal Letter Subject: Self-Introduction Dear Professor Blackstone, I am writing to you this letter to formally introduce myself, a student from one of your effective communication classes. My name is Tiara, taking up a degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services) in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Prior to my degree studies in SIT, I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in Clean Energy Management. I had never imagined myself as an engineering student due to my interest in science. People around me have influenced my thinking towards engineering being a masculine culture that requires physical abilities. However, going through the journey as an electrical engineering student changed my perspective and interest in engineering. Pursuing this degree is a huge step for me to enhance my knowledge in the engineering field, transitioning from electrical to a course that now focuses more on mechanical. Personally, I v...

Marr L.C, Tang J.W, Mullekom J.V, Lakdawala S.S (2018). Supplementary material from "Mechanistic insights into the effect of humidity on airborne influenza virus survival, transmission and incidence". Journal of the royal society interface, Volume 16(2019), Issue 150.  https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2018.0298 The recent article written by Marr L.C, Tang J.W, Mullekom J.V, Lakdawala S.S in January, is a study that evaluates the relationship between humidity and human health. In this article, it elaborates on how the atmospheric moisture can cause influenza virus survival and the methods used. The authors stated that humidity being one of the primary factors played a major part in contributing to infectious diseases including the influenza virus. According to the article, studies have claimed that absolute humidity (AH) was responsible for influencing influenza virus survival along with the transmission. However, through the evaluation of study cases, the authors observed tha...
