• Title: Exploring the Drivers and Barriers to Uptake for Digital Contact Tracing
• Authors: Andrew Tzer-Yeu Chen, Kimberly Thio
• Abstract summary: Digital contact tracing has been deployed as a public health intervention to help suppress the spread of COVID-19. Most governments have struggled with low uptake and participation rates, limiting the effectiveness of the tool. This paper characterises a number of systems developed around the world, comparing the uptake rates for systems with different technology, data architectures, and mandates.

• Abstract: Digital contact tracing has been deployed as a public health intervention to help suppress the spread of COVID-19 in many jurisdictions. However, most governments have struggled with low uptake and participation rates, limiting the effectiveness of the tool. This paper characterises a number of systems developed around the world, comparing the uptake rates for systems with different technology, data architectures, and mandates. The paper then introduces the MAST framework (motivation, access, skills, and trust), adapted from the digital inclusion literature, to explore the drivers and barriers that influence people's decisions to participate or not in digital contact tracing systems. Finally, the paper discusses some suggestions for policymakers on how to influence those drivers and barriers in order to improve uptake rates. Examples from existing digital contact tracing systems are presented throughout, although more empirical experimentation is required to support more concrete conclusions on what works.

  We propose a surveillance video assisted federated digital twin (SV-FDT) framework to empower ITSs with pedestrians and vehicles in-the-loop. The architecture consists of three layers: (i) the end layer, which collects traffic surveillance videos from multiple sources; (ii) the edge layer, responsible for semantic segmentation-based visual understanding, twin agent-based interaction modeling, and local digital twin system (LDTS) creation in local regions; and (iii) the cloud layer, which integrates LDTSs across different regions to construct a global DT model in realtime.

  In Industry 4.0, industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and healthcare are rapidly adopting DT-based development. The main challenges to date have been the high demands on communication and computing resources, as well as privacy and security concerns. To achieve low latency and high security services in the emerging DT, multi-tier computing has been proposed by combining edge/fog computing and cloud computing.

Our results show that there is an added value when considering models that take advantage of the alternative data of the Super-App and the interactions found in their high connectivity.
