The external fields in the proximity of electric vehicle (EV) wireless power transfer (WPT) systems requiring high power may exceed the limits of international safety guidelines. This paper presents dosimetric results of an 85 kHz WPT system for EVs. A WPT system for charging EVs is designed and dosimetry for the system is evaluated for various exposure scenarios: a human body in front of the WPT...
Improving effectiveness and safety of patient care is an ultimate objective for medical cyber-physical systems. Many medical best practice guidelines exist in the format of hospital handbooks which are often lengthy and difficult for medical staff to remember and apply clinically. Statechart is an effective tool to model medical guidelines and enables clinical validation with medical staffs. However,...
Every complex and powerful system we see around us are real time embedded systems. They are real time because they are intended to respond within the time limits. In safety critical embedded systems like medical, railways, nuclear, space and aerospace we need qualified hard Real Time Operating System (RTOS) as failure to deliver timely results in catastrophe. Some of the qualified RTOS for critical...
Building information modelling (BIM) is only a tool in the procurement of a building, but it is changing the way the whole process is undertaken. Having a single model which is used by all disciplines requires a different management structure and by consequence a restructuring of the resources required to complete a project.These changes are encompassed in Integrated Practice and more recently Integrated...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on designing for self-efficacy in a game based driving simulator. Self-efficacy refers to how peoplepsilas beliefs in their capabilities affect their actions. The results show that the design of the feedback system can be used to increase self-efficacy measures thus affecting performance in a driving simulator environment. Self-efficacy has...
The paper addresses safety issues involved in making ad hoc interconnections among medical devices in order to assemble more complex medical systems. The main problem is that the systemic view may be easily concealed by nowadays behavioral modeling tools. Missing such a systemic view does not allow to have a precise view of what is being modeled: we propose instead to adopt novel methodological guidelines...
