Travelling is one of the daily routine activities for most people. In the recent studies that were identified, we found many uses for the smartphone in smart diver application on the environment. However, the energy is the key challenge for our planet. We also found that very few high-quality studies exist to help us understand how best to use this technology. Taking account that users are using smartphones...
Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (CITS) are being developed to make road traffic safer and more efficient. Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication plays an important role for the cooperative awareness of vehicles in all the CITS standards in EU, US, and Japan. Essentially the CITS application relies on the exchanged data by V2V messages (called Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) in EU)...
Data acquisition systems used as Internet of Things (IoT) devices are generally developed for applications such as renewable energy, vehicles, or biological data collection. Methodology adapted from IoT can be used in numerous applications including sensors for underwater vehicles. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) have become more prevalent for military use. Coincidentally, modular sensor attachments...
The increasing demand of diverse vehicular network oriented applications (both safety and non-safety related services would undoubtedly lead to shortage of spectral resource challenge for V2V communication networks. In order to resolve this issue, a novel Adaptive CR Enabled Vehicular NETwork (ACREVNET) framework is proposed in this paper. To avoid heavy overhead usually incurred during spectrum sensing,...
Despite the fact that numerous studies have indicated that vehicular networks are vulnerable to external and internal attacks, very little effort has been expended in safeguarding communications both between elements within the vehicle and between the vehicle and the outside world. In this paper we present a mechanism that allows communications policy (essentially who can talk with whom and the security...
Insufficient intersection management is one of the top congestion causes. Intersection performance enhancement requires its usage data and statistics, such as vehicle queue lengths, waiting times, etc. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provide transportation researchers and engineers with access to such data. However, the majority of the state of the art ITS are expensive, hard to maintain...
The logistics department has an important area of application for technology concerned with Wireless Sensors. The Idea is to deploy Wireless sensor motes in vehicles to study environmental conditions related to that of the carried goods. Using its communication as well as computation capability, wireless sensor motes can detect the occurrence of threshold violation(events) and send according alarming...
VANETs) that provides a vehicle with data about 1-hop neighboring vehicles. Data provided by this service can be used to support safety applications, such as the efficient selection of forwarders for safety messages and dissemination of early warnings to drivers about potential dangers of the road. This paper discusses the limitations of the beaconing service in providing vehicles with safety-related...
This paper presents a modular and extensible quad rotor architecture and its specific prototyping for automatic tracking applications. The architecture is extensible and based on off-the-shelf components for easy system integration while maintaining constant connectivity with the IoT. A target tracking and acquisition application is presented in detail to demonstrate the power and flexibility of the...
With the accelerated urbanization and the development of automobile industry, traffic congestion has become serious gradually for many metropolises. Thus, it is an important and extensive method in many countries to use the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to control traffic and to induce vehicle flows so that road congestion may be mitigated and the traffic may be more efficient. As an important...
The highly anticipated era of Internet of Things (IoTs) expected to empower all aspects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will undeniably improve transport safety and significantly reduce road accidents. To promote the communication of mobile vehicles (or IoVs), US FCC officially allocated a merger 75 MHz spectrum in the 5.9 GHz band to enable vehicular communication. In this paper, we studied...
Most electric power companies employs power meter reader to collect data on the customer's energy consumption. Usually, this task is carried out manually, which can lead to high cost and errors, causing financial losses. Some approaches trying to minimize these problems, such as: discover the minimal route or use a car to perform the readings. However, errors associated the manual readings can still...
The technology based ubiquitous patient monitoring is regarded as a viable solution for managing the chronic diseases and medical emergencies in order to economize the healthcare services. The reliability of end to end communication between patients and healthcare services in wireless patient monitoring is the critical requirement in such systems irrespective of time and location dependencies. In...
As we see in our regular life the accidents taking place by rash driving and lack of concentration on the traffic information boards. In order to assure safer and smarter driving, various driving assistance systems are increasingly considered in research. Current vehicle driving assistance systems uses number of technologies such as radar, image processing, RFID, IR, computer vision etc. These technologies...
Traditional battery-powered wireless sensor networks face many challenges to meet the requirements of a wide range of demanding applications nowadays due to their limited energy. Although energy harvesting techniques can scavenge energy from the environment to sustain network operations, dynamics from the energy sources may lead to service interruption or performance degradation when the sources are...
With the rapid expansion of motor vehicle use, road safety is becoming a serious issue in the past few decades. Road pedestrian injuries and death rate is rising sharply. The research on traffic accidents points out to a concentration of crashes in "Black Spots". Accident black spots may be caused due to sharp corners in straight road, steep slopes, a hidden junction, concealed warning signs...
This paper presents a working system to prove as a solution that makes the user aware of the conditions of the road. The system is designed based on principles of Internet of Things to detect and identify the road irregularities in real-time. Road irregularity is a broad term which includes any potholes, cracks or random deviations that exist. Existing method measuring the irregularity is by visual...
Governments, industries and last but not least customer's demand for low-pollutant, efficient and comfortable vehicles has extended the system development scope towards the combination of in-vehicle systems and environment. Whereas the information from the on-board systems is available for several functions per se, the environmental information has to be grabbed using sensors and/or communication...
Nowadays, vehicle behavior monitoring systems is a new attribute in the automobile field. The paper presents practical approach that autonomously controls and monitors the movement of electrical busses and displays the necessary information like identification of vehicle's location, on route status of vehicle for the passengers. In addition to this, proposed approach includes speed control of busses...
This work presents the development of a wireless control system for a robotic vehicle, which performs various measurements to verify compliance with the 7600 Law. The system is controlled using the Wii Remote, which sends signals to the robotic vehicle through an application, where they are interpreted and translated into instructions that allow movement of the robot and the control and data acquisition...
