Electric vehicles are a promising alternative to vehicles powered by fossil fuels due to their zero emissions feature. However, the limited specific power of the batteries in the electric vehicles, which also adds a considerable weight, limit the vehicle performance. This drawback has affected the market share of the electric vehicles negatively, as they find it difficult to compete with fossil fuel...
The main objective of this study is to design and implement a suitable algorithm and its simulation for vehicle detection to control road traffic. The system developed is able to detect moving metal objects (vehicles) and then to calculate the appropriate duration for the traffic signals at an intersection to operate. By employing mathematical functions to calculate the appropriate timing for the...
Recent developments in wireless communications and electronic devices has considerably contributed to the evolvement of low cost densely deployed sensor networks. Sensor network applications are diverse, ranging from civil to military. Many applications of wireless sensor network (WSN) are useful only when connected to an external network. In this paper we are proposing a low cost wireless sensor...
Thanks to the advancements in chemistry and material sciences, soft actuators today are in a position to provide a simple and maintenance free solutions to the use of electromechanical actuators used mainly in biomedical engineering. Due to the ability to work in free air, ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) play a leading role being a suitable material for soft actuators. The design and development...
Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) may be used to replace the electro-mechanical actuators in a vast variety of application areas ranging from biomedical devices to soft actuators and sensor systems in modern humanoid robotics. The excellent characteristics shown by IPMCs are highly influenced by their interrelated mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. However, this makes it complicated...
