Recent reports have indicated that driver fatigue is one of the main causes in vehicle accidents leading to traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Therefore, developing fatigue driving monitoring system is of outmost importance to avoid fatigue-related accidents. Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based continuous monitoring system is one of the effective ways to predict both psychological and physiological...
Automated vehicles are designed to take over all or part of the driver's task, in order to safely and comfortably navigate through road traffic. Automated vehicles, however, are limited by the line-ofsight characteristics of the on-board sensors, e.g., radar, lidar, and camera. To overcome this limitation, wireless inter-vehicle communication can be employed, which not only provides information of...
Now a day's more number of vehicles are growing due topopulations are growing day by day. All type of vehicles like bus, car, two wheeler, plane, cycle making collision with othervehicles or with other objects like wall, trees, down position, curve position etc. Every year almost 1.25 million people arekilled on the road due to vehicle accident. At present one of thebiggest problems in the world is...
Vehicular ad hoc network is widely used to broadcast emergency, weather and road conditions among vehicles. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to transmit weather information to the vehicles which are travelling in urban areas. The system uses a set of algorithms and rules to determine dangerous weather situation on roads. It is proposed to use Weather_Forecast algorithm to predict the weather...
This paper presents the prophecy of parking area in parking management system using Geographic Information System (GIS). Parking area is generated by using Google SketchUp Pro 2015. One of the most outstanding and major problems in the parking management system is to search for an empty parking space. In recent years, there has been an expanding enthusiasm from drivers to have access to real-time...
This paper focuses on the problem of drunk driver which is represent one of the major reasons for traffic accidents during the last decades. Alcohol negatively affects the drunk driver judgment abilities and driving skills. Many engineering solutions have been proposed to reduce the consequences of drunk driving. However, most of these solutions were based on a certain type of control units or though...
Speed measurement is an important issue for some types of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), especially for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). However, calculating this value is error-prone and costly. This report intends to demonstrate the calculation of speed of an object without the use of any additional devices or sensor boards, only using Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) for localization...
In this paper, we present the “Adventure-I” mini-AUV prototype developed for educational and research tasks. The mini-AUV is simply equipped with one main propeller and two rudders, without any vertical and lateral thrusters. First, the whole structure and the main dimension of the “Adventure-I” mini-AUV is described. Second, the detailed specifications of the hardware system are illustrated, including...
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...
Connected vehicles extend the capability of information collection, and thus open more opportunities for innovative advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In this paper, we propose a Lane Speed Monitoring (LSM) application based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. This application takes advantage of Basic Safety Messages (BSM) transmitted from equipped vehicles via dedicated short range...
In this paper, we will introduce the necessity of real-time safety monitoring system for high-speed railway vehicle and propose a new type of safety monitoring system using a low-power wireless connection. To verify the proposed safety monitoring system is feasible, we measure the packet error rate on the moving train and show the analyzed results.
Recent works on enhancing comfortability and convenience in vehicles reveal that information collections by various wireless sensor nodes have the potential due to their easiness of install and their small size. However, the conventional wireless network standards achieve insufficient reliability for practical in-vehicle communications. In this paper, through implementing 2.4GHz devices in an actual...
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)...
In this paper, we report an in-vehicle wireless sensor network platform for daily health monitoring. The platform is capable of monitoring health risk factors due to long time sitting and driving. The system contains three sensor nodes for monitoring sitting pressure distribution, ECG, and GSR, respectively, which are good indicators of driving-induced chronic conditions. This platform is also compatible...
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...
In the current day and age, traffic in urban areas is becoming more and more complex leading to congested roads and intersections. Hence, the need for sophisticated traffic control system to reduce the congestion and provide better flow management. In this paper, we present briefly the basic notions and the most important parameters that affects the traffic control. Then, we provide a survey on the...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a specific technology that helps in creating smart cities. Their aim is consists in creating a network containing many nodes of intelligent sensors that can measure multiple parameters of interest for better city management, and a control of urban traffic (fluidity of traffic at an intersection). Each network node exhausts its energy because the battery capacity...
A practical method for the design of an in-vehicle wireless sensor network operating in a truck is presented. The network has been dimensioned using promising candidate sensor applications that were chosen based on a set of key criteria including safety, security, and timing-criticality and commercial viability. An extensive set of experiments were carried out to determine characteristics, feasibility...
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...
The evolution of health systems derives in the implementation of Smart Health, integrated within the framework of Smart Cities and Smart Regions. In this context, vehicular communications provide additional means of interaction among users, administration and health professionals. In this work, characterization of wireless communication between ambulance and urban deployed access points will be analyzed,...
