Dear Club Geographers:
Dr. Jerry Everett, who is a Research Director at UT Center for Transportation Research, is seeking geography students to participate in an iPhone GPS tracking study. Geography graduate students, Yitu (Frank) Xu and Jiaoli Chen, developed this iPhone application for UT Center for Transportation Research. It would be great if some of you would be willing to volunteer to participate in this pilot study which is intended to fully test this iPhone app we have developed for UT Center for Transportation Research. If you already have an iPhone, all you need to do is to install our iPhone app. If you do not have an iPhone, Dr. Everett will provide you with an iPhone free of charge to participate in this pilot study. Please read additional information about this study at the end of this message.
For your information, UT Center for Transportation Research already received an IRB approval to conduct this pilot study with human subjects. If you have questions regarding this study or you are willing to participate in this study, please contact Tammy Enix ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) at UT Center for Transportation Research. Thank you for your consideration.
Cheers,
Shih-Lung

We are nearing the end of the iPhone GPS tracking study. Most of the participants so far are UT staff. We would also like to include a number of students in the study. Would it be possible for you to help use recruit about 10 geography students to participate. If they already have an iPhone then I can send them a gift app and they can use their own phone. If they don't have an iPhone then we will loan them one or our phones for a couple of days. Either way we just ask them to track their travel for one day, submit the track to Jiaoli to upload to the website, and then check and if need revise the track on the website. I have attached a flier with a brief description of the project.
Please have interested students contact Tammy Enix at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 974-4621.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
