Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) in Malaysia has made it mandatory that GPS tracking systems installed in every express buses since 2008 so that the speed can be monitored and recorded based on real-time. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of the system is under question when Malaysia was startled by a series of bus accidents each killed close to 10 lives while several others were seriously injured...
This paper describes the design and implementation of the hardware and software of a self-contained track and trace unit capable of monitoring its own location. The unit also has the ability to report its location to a central server. The firmware for the tracking unit was implemented in the C programming language and runs natively on an Atmel AVR architecture. A PHP application was developed to enable...
This study proposes a real-time abnormal heartbeat detection and emergency system for helping users to obtain immediate rescue and treatment in a short period of time when they suffer from severe heart disease, for example, acute myocardial infarction (MI) or fatal malignant arrhythmia. The proposed system can detect abnormal heartbeat waveforms and automatically send out emergency signals. The detection...
This paper presents a microcontroller based monitoring system with user's remote localization, the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS), Global System for Mobile (GSM) and a Heart Rate (HR) Sensor. This integration outcome is a system that would be able to monitor the pulse rate of a person, in terms of beats-per-minute (BPM) that is engaged in an activity as well as the person's location...
A city is smart when the social investment, human resources, communications and the building infrastructure, coexist harmoniously and systematically through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which generates better quality of life and natural resources efficient management through the citizens participation. In Latin America and the Caribbean region some countries implement...
In country like India and Saudi Arabia, lots of pilgrims are moving around different holy areas. These pilgrims gather in huge amount to perform ritual activity like in KUMBH and HAJJ. Every season near about 30–40 Lakh people gather at Makkah as well as at KUMBH MELA. Therefore Security of pilgrims is most important issue. Any disaster can put pilgrim's life in danger. In this condition emergency...
In order to deal with the environmental pollution emergencies and disaster site, aim, we propose a quad-rotor environmental monitoring system based on Internet of Things. The system is consists of two parts: quad-rotor flight control platform and environmental monitoring. The environment detection module can collect environment data and then transfer to corresponding network server for corresponding...
Now-a-days increasing density of vehicles on road is becoming the problem for the traffic control. Ultimately arising obstacle in the managing and tracking of the vehicle. Because of the problem state, it is necessary for every organizations and individuals to track the vehicle. People will monitor and track their vehicles for the safety concerns with the help of our Android app. Public transport...
Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) platform are widely employed in a broad range of applications: from environmental monitoring and precise agriculture to humanitarian localization and rescue and prevention of events such as floods, fires, landslides. On the other hand, Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an emerging technique which allows to monitor Earths surface...
To implement a preventive measure for protecting people who require assistive walking devices, this study designed an intelligent walking cane that monitors the user's vital signs and provides information to assist them with managing their health. In the event of an accident, the cane triggers an emergency event that alerts bystanders and transmits current location data to emergency personnel through...
With the development of Internet of Things (IOT) industry, research on wildlife monitoring meets with innovative progress. In this manuscript, we analyze the development of communication technologies, and discuss the architecture of wildlife observation and communication system from three aspects: component, communication platform, and research application. We introduce our preliminary research on...
We present an integrated sensor system for continuous monitoring of motorcyclists, which aims to benefit from the growing acceptance for wearable electronics, but goes beyond the most common life-style applications by trying to improve the user's safety. Our system features a textile front end (garment, e.g. shirt) with integrated ECG electrodes and respiration sensor as well as electronics for data...
This paper simply introduces the meaning and equipment of radio monitoring, and mainly discusses how to design a platform which can storage, manage, retrieve and analysis radio coverage data based on B/S model by using database and Baidu map JavaScript API technology and combining with the characteristics of radio monitoring equipment. Radio coverage data from radio monitoring equipment will go into...
Monitoring of radiation sources becomes a very important job now days. In this paper a wireless sensor network (WSN) is designed from a group of radiation detector stations with different types of sensors. These stations are located in different areas and each sensor transmits its data through GSM network to the main monitoring and control station. The design include GPS module to determine the location...

Big Data and the popularity of mobile Internet play an indispensable role on the reconstruction of supply chain in China. This article will combine big data, mobile Internet and the supply chain effectively and point out the competitive advantages created by big data and mobile internet from many aspects of time, cost, efficiency, customer experience, etc. Taking warehouse-type supermarkets as an...
This paper describes a distributed control and estimation technique aimed at optimizing the ability of a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to detect and to locate a given target. The proposed algorithm relies on both visual servoing and a consensus scheme. Due to its flexibility, it can be potentially used in a variety of environmental, energy or structural monitoring applications. The general...
This paper presents the architecture of an extended area monitoring system based on crowdsourcing and mobile devices. In particular areas (as very large historical sites) it can be difficult or impossible to install fixed cameras due to the huge number of candidate points of interest (POI) to monitoring or to the significant impact on site (i.e. cameras or other sensors could be too invasive towards...
Résumé — With the development of photogrammetry and computer vision, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) embedded with digital compact camera plays an important role on gathering geographic information [1]. In this context, a novel method is proposed in this article for monitoring displacement of natural environment by airborne multi-view photogrammetry. The method is implemented for calculating 3D displacement...
The Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Wide Area Product (PSI-WAP) based on ERS1 & ERS2 radar data has been used in the seismic active area of Atalanti Faulting Zone (Central Greece) to spatially and temporally study the ground deformation for the period 1992–2003. The observed LOS velocity field, with values ranging between −0.5 to −5.0 mm/yr, combined with small standard deviation velocity...
