Humans have experienced motion sickness and possessed the knowledge of stereopsis since classical antiquity. Knowledge of stereopsis dates back to approximately 300 B.C., when Euclid first recognized the concept of depth perception in human vision. Further, the motion sickness is including a sensation of wooziness and nausea that has been documented since approximately 400 B.C.,…

Formal methods are one of the efficient tools to verify and validate designs for different kinds of systems. Smart systems are attracting researchers’ attention due to the rapid spread of new technologies all over the world. Modeling a smart system requires connecting heterogeneous subsystems together to build it. Our contribution to this work is in…

Compared to other types of autonomous vehicles, the single-seat is the simplest when designing, since its compact design makes it an option that can simplify different mechanical aspects and enhance those of greater importance such as the steering and the braking system. Likewise, the electronic and electrical design may be a great improvement on the…

Distribution is the main activity in integrated product supply chain management. In the pharmaceutical industry, the process of drug distribution is important because of the handling, storage, and distribution of medicinal products with good standards and quality. The problem that occurs in the pharmaceutical industry is the circulation of counterfeit drugs by related parties, for…

The literature shows a growing interest in taking into account human and organizational factors (HOFs) to achieve safe and successful human performance by reducing the risk of errors. In this sense, the concept of maturity models aims to help companies in the integration of these factors by assessing the current level of maturity and define…

This manuscript intending to publicize the improvements incorporated in the BrcLightning application, including the Risk Analysis module with the help of a pop-up, which provides the result and assists in the identification of mitigating measures by the professional, which must be defined to reduce the calculated risks. Other points addressed in this extension are the…

Real-time embedded systems are widely adopted in applications such as automotive, avionics, and medical care. As some of these systems have to provide a guaranteed worst-case execution time to satisfy the time constraints, understanding the timing behaviour of such systems is of the utmost importance regarding the reliability and the safety of these systems. In…

The optimum performance of power plants has major technical and economic benefits. A case study in one of the Malaysian power plants reveals an escalating harmonic failure trend in their Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) machines. This has led to a harmonic filter failure causing performance loss leading to costly interventions and safety concerns. Analysis of…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) technology is expected to provide many benefits for the society such as providing safe transportation to the community and reducing the number of accidents on the roads. With the emergence of AVs, the conventional safety infrastructure in which humans drive their vehicles will need to be upgraded in order to take full…

The angle of attack is a critical flight parameter for commercial aviation aircraft, because automatic envelope protection systems rely on it to keep the aircraft within its safe flight envelope. Faulty measurements of the angle of attack could have catastrophic effects, leading to aircraft loss of control in flight and fatalities, as demonstrated by the…

Vehicle accidents, particularly in small and large urban areas, are rising tremendously day by day worldwide. As a recent research subject in automaton transportation, the subsequent collision has become a vital issue and emergency. Internet of things (IoT) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have become very popular these days because of their versatility, and…
