Wireless communication technology is spreading rapidly to all areas of our lives. The technology, which has a wide range of applications from radios, intelligent home systems, automation applications to GPS units, was used in monitoring the workers working in mines in this study. Most of the mining area underground mining is risky and the possibility of accident (gas jams, the explosion and dents,...
The paper introduces a design of radio spectrography receiver that shall serve as equipment for reception, monitoring, and processing of solar radio bursts. These burst can affect operation of many radio communication and navigation services as is presented on example of GPS satellites signal degradation. The concept and design of the spectrography receiver is presented together with discussion of...
There have been and there are still numerous initiatives aimed at improving the efficiency of Africa's trade corridors in order to make Africa more competitive in this modern and globalised world. If Africa is to fully participate in this emerging global phenomenon, the so called global value chains, then Africa has to immediately up her game in improving in all trade facilitating factors including...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a very promising concept that by connecting numerous devices to the internet and extracting large sums of information (BigData) can enable the realisation of various futuristic scenarios. In order to develop and assess future applications and services, it is necessary the availability of datasets that can be used to train, test and cross validate. Project SCoT (Smart...
The purpose of this paper is a presentation of a recursive project (a platform), that started three years ago, in which shore management companies can collect, transmit, store, analyze and finally use and present vessels live data on a Geographical Information System used as Global Monitoring Platform. We used those data for further analysis, and we produced information about engine performance, gas...
The uprising interest in multi-agent based networked system, and the numerous number of applications in the distributed control of the smart grid leads us to address the problem of time synchronization in the smart grid. Utility companies look for new packet based time synchronization solutions with Global Positioning System (GPS) level accuracies beyond traditional packet methods such as Network...
The school shuttle system commonly uses the vehicle to facilitate students to go and go home from school. However, there needs to be a development in terms of monitoring the students. In this paper explains the development of school shuttle system with IoT concept to apply Smart School application. The system will be designed uses a reader that will identify the identity card of students using Bluetooth...
In this paper a system for increasing children's safety is proposed. The focus is on the daily route from home to school and vice versa, assuming the use of school buses. IoT paradigm is exploited together with different localization techniques i.e. RFID and GPS, in order to design a solution for parents willing to make certain of their child's following the main steps to school or home, i.e. taking...
The use of animals, specially ovines, for controlling infesting species in crops is an ancient method that has several advantages with respect to the use of chemical and/or mechanical techniques. Shepherds required to supervise animals, are getting increasingly less available and are costly. Over the last years, technologies for automatic animal supervision have been investigated, typically including...
This dissertation exploits an Android base application gives clarification to assist parents to pathway their adolescent activity. It was implemented to locate the location based on real time map only when the user is found to be missing or kidnap cases. A parent's tool has to propel a application spot SMS to the child's tool to acquire the spot of the child. On the other side, the child's tool accept...
Mobile devices have been increasing in both number and power. While devices such as smartphones gain capabilities, an increasing number of users rely on them to complete more and more tasks. One of the most significant constraints of mobile devices is the necessary reliance on battery power. This limitation can be circumvented by operating the device while it is charging; however, this approach has...
This paper presents ionospheric scintillation data recorded at SANAE in Antarctica during a moderate geomagnetic storm on 20–21 January 2016 which gives evidence of the advantages of the new generation of instrumentation for monitoring ionospheric scintillation. The data was collected as part of the DemoGRAPE project aimed at the demonstration of cutting edge technology for the empirical assessment...
Child abuse has been one of global issue recently. There are big number of child abuse case in every country in the world. It drives most of country in this world form their private organization to handle the child abuse issue. While running their organization, they also form child abuse policy. Recently, the presence of technology has changed the way people in doing activities. In this paper, we...
In this work, an advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system is proposed and designed for the purpose of monitoring the vehicles which are moving from one place to the other in order to provide safety and security. The proposed method puts together superior exercise of contemporary technology by means of Embedded C programming language and the unit developed via LPC2148 and its sophisticated features...
In Malaysia, five million children commute to school daily. There are approximately 40 percent of children use public and private vehicles to school. The busy schedule and hectic working lives of the parent are causing them not able to monitor the safety of their children in commuting to and from school. This project presents the design of a prototype, called KidBus.Tracker that tracks schoolchildren...
In the present arena, wildlife and forest departments are facing the problem of movement of animals from forest area to residential area. The number of trees has reduced drastically from the forest that creates an unhealthy environment for animals to survive in the forest. This paper proposes a system we call GATA for tracking and alarming for the protection of Wildlife Animals. GATA combined Wireless...
Using the automated vehicle location data combined with other technologies such as automated incident reporting, transit decision makers can now execute a variety of real-time strategies and performance evaluations. In this study, we show that it is possible to develop an easy to use but powerful web-based tool which acquires, stores, processes, and visualizes bus trajectory data. The developed web-based...
With the continuous application of information technology in the military field, the digitalization and automation research of weapon equipment support has been paid more and more attention. Based on the functional characteristics of satellite navigation and positioning system and military geographic information system (hereinafter referred to as “MGIS”), this paper presents a design method of combining...
Na nossa sociedade, existem várias formas de crimes que ocorrem com bastante freqüência. No combate ao crime, vários sistemas safe-return estão a ser desenvolvidos para pessoas vulneráveis. Contudo estes sistemas focam-se principalmente na resposta a situações em que o perigo já aconteceu, não é feita nenhuma previsão de um possível crime. Estas previsões de situações de perigo podem ser feitas com...
Hieracium pilosella es una especie vegetal que se disemina rápidamente en terrenos pobres y erosionados, Esta especie forma grande parches vegetativos de cientos de metros cuadrados para el caso de la región de Magallanes, impidiendo la supervivencia de otras especies vegetales nativas de la zona, generando efectos negativos graves para la ganadería y la conservación de la biodiversidad. En este trabajo...
