This paper conducts a performance analysis of two popular private blockchain platforms, Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum (private deployment), to assess the performance and limitations of these state-of-the-art platforms. Blockchain, a decentralized transaction and data management technology, is said to be the technology that will have similar impacts as the Internet had on people's lives. Many industries...
This paper explores green field detection methods for visible satellite images by applying well-known combination of vegetative index (COM), and developing two methods that are enhanced versions of COM to increase detection accuracies. An experiment was conducted on visible satellite images of 6 locations and 4 zoom levels obtained through Google Map API. The three methods were implemented to compare...
Hospital overcrowding has been a problem in Thai public healthcare system. The main cause of this problem is the limited available resources, including a limited number of doctors, nurses, and limited capacity and availability of medical devices. There have been attempts to alleviate the problem through various strategies. In this paper, a low-cost system was developed and tested in a public hospital...
Traffic information applications been proposed as a potential solution for traffic congestion problem in Bangkok, Thailand. However, the tendency of application usage has not increased as expected. Thus, this study is conducted to investigate the factors influencing on travelers' intention to use traffic information applications on smartphones using modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with...
The State Railway of Thailand provides passengers with train location information on their website, which includes the name of the last station that each train arrives at or departs from, along with the timestamps and the accumulative train delay (in minutes) from the train timetable. This information allows passengers to intuitively predict the arrival time at their station by adding the last known...
This paper presents LiveBusTrack: a small scale real-time high frequency location update bus tracking system. Based on the use of smartphones as tracking device, the proposed approach has the ability to track vehicles automatically in realtime through our tailored made application without requiring external power in an 8 hour operating period. In addition, a customized map transformation is proposed...
Traffic congestions tend to have repeated patterns weekly, monthly, or yearly, due to repeated events such as work days, monthly salary day, and yearly holidays. The knowledge of temporal traffic patterns can help road users reduce their travel times by altering their departure time to avoid traffic jams at high traffic spots. This paper proposes an approach to help road users understand the temporal...
Abnormal respiratory rates have been shown to be an important predictor of serious clinical illness, but respiratory rate is a vital sign that is often not recorded because methods for measuring respiratory rates are cumbersome. We propose an approach to record and monitor respiratory rate of a patient that is lying down by placing an accelerometer-equipped smartphone on the patient's chest. We develop...
