In this paper, we propose a framework that can prevent accidents due to careless or inattentive driving by providing the necessary traffic information to the driver. The proposed system complements the driver by providing the missed cognitive information regarding the traffic. The proposed system is divided into three parts. First, the system checks the condition of the driver in real time, and detects...
Many vehicle accidents are caused by driver fatigue. Systems to monitor driver fatigue can contribute to a decrease in fatalities. This paper describes the development of a multi-sensor system for driver fatigue detection. The system achieves this by monitoring eye closure and wheel steering movements, and is able to alert the driver of any detected anomalies. Various techniques are suggested for...
Electric shocks due to high voltage lines can pose serious health risks to workers. Reliable and efficient systems to alert workers of nearby live power lines are necessary. In this paper, a personal high voltage safety system with wear monitoring is designed and implemented. A wrist module which consists of an electric field detector and optical heart rate monitor is developed from first principles...
In this paper, we propose a black-box modeling framework for connected vehicle networks comprised of conventional vehicles and vehicles equipped with wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. First, we identify the link length that is the number of vehicles between the broadcasting and the host vehicle. Based on the estimated link length, a linear model is used to approximate the dynamics of...
Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) appears as an innovative approach to deal with several issues faced by vehicular communications. By exploiting vehicles and deploying a DTN store-carry-and-forward paradigm with an Internet protocol over VDTN it is possible to enable asynchronous communications in the absence of end-to-end links. VDTNs also combine a bundle-oriented communication with an out-of-band...
This paper studies a detection problem for network systems, where changes in the statistical properties of an input driving certain network nodes has to be detected by sparse and remotely located sensors. We explicitly derive the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) detector, and characterize its performance as a function of the network parameters, and the location of the sensor nodes. We show that, in the...
Traffic flow monitoring systems aim to measure and monitor vehicle trajectories in smart cities. Their critical applications include vehicle theft prevention, vehicle localization, and traffic congestion solution. This paper studies an RoadSide Unit (RSU) placement problem in traffic flow monitoring systems. Given some traffic flows on streets, the objective is to place a minimum number of RSUs to...
A comparison of strategies for energy management in electrical vehicles with hybrid energy storage systems is presented. The storage system considered is composed by a bank of lead-acid batteries that provide high energy density and an ultracapacitor, a high power. One of the control strategies was already proposed in a previous work, a cascade topology that uses monitors of state (ME, in Spanish)...
Traffic controlling is the key requirement in transportation system. Traffic management requires high skill based automated solutions as an alternative of the manual methods such as human intervention viz. traffic policemen, traffic lights and safety cameras. Due to traffic jamming the commuter fails to reach the destination in time. Analyzing road traffic data takes step towards controlling the traffic...
Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) is the process whereby families separated by disasters are reunited. Current FTR systems use either inefficient paper-based forms and notice boards or digital registries that need the Internet, which may be unavailable during disasters. In this demonstration we present Milk Carton: a system that aids in FTR. Milk Carton creates a registry containing evacuee records...
Microsleep is an involuntary episode of sleep which lasts for a fraction of a second or up to one minute where an individual fails to respond to their environment and becomes unconscious. Because of the lapsed time, microsleep can create dangerous situations, for example when a user is driving a car, any microsleep can result in unsafe situations or even death. In this paper, we design a system that...
The requirements for new web applications supporting different types of devices and purposes are continuously growing. The main advantages of web application development as well as popular development features covering integration with different technologies are considered initially in this paper. Integration and possibilities of application of cloud based web applications in real scenarios with different...
Real-time and automatic tracking emissions of vessels can help the maritime traffic department and environmental monitoring department to study quantitatively and provide foundation for setting pollution reduction measures, and defining policies for management departments. Traditionaly method is based on fuel consumptions of vessels which need the cooperation of vessel operators; it is hard to realised...
Vehicles equipped with various types of sensors can act as mobile sensors to monitor the road conditions. To speed up the information collection process, the monitoring data can be shared among vehicles upon their encounters to facilitate drivers to find a good route. The vehicular network experiences intermittent connectivity as a result of the mobility, which makes the inter-vehicle contact duration...
Effective and efficient management of water resources is becoming unprecedentedly more important nowadays due to the increasing demand from a growing population, increasing standards of living and changing supply due to climate change. Water monitoring technology has directly contributed to the effectiveness of water resource management. Traditional water measurement method, mostly done in laboratory,...
One of the major road traffic accidents is from an exhausted driver such as drowsiness and a lack of attention over driving. This paper presents a driver fatigue warning system using Kinect depth image, which monitors a driver attention and alerts driver while nodding off. Our algorithm transforms Kinect depth images into gradient images to detect driver face and applies Discriminative Random Regression...
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) spread rapidly in the last years, both for civil and military applications. The performance of Dangerous, Dull and Dirty missions implies a wide use of the sUAS, in particular to manage hazardous events, such as natural or manmade major incidents or mass casualty situations. The management and control of an emergency are crucial aspects for the rescue teams and...
We present a novel vision-based traffic monitoring system, which is inspired by the visual structure found in raptors, for tracking expressway vehicles and estimation of their real-world speed over a longer range compared to the typical, single-camera monitoring systems. This vision system features a license plate detection camera that is triggered whenever there is an instance of overspeeding. The...
This paper investigates forest monitoring and fire detection strategies using a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). UAVs have great advantages in forest fire detection and fighting. However they have limited running time and payload capabilities, therefore UGVs are paired with UAVs to avoid their demerits. First, UGVs are used to transport the UAVs to the nearest...
Abstract-In VANETs, information exchange plays an important role to make vehicles aware to each other and provide references for safety or non-safety related applications. At intersections, vehicles are forced to maintain a lower mobility thereby have more time to exchange on-road or off-road context information. However, if an effective control scheme is not applied to this specific scenario, a packet...
