In recent years, people-counting problems have increased in popularity, especially in crowded indoor spaces, e.g., public transport. In peak hours, trains move significant numbers of passengers, producing delays and inconveniences for their users. Therefore, analysing how people use public transport is essential to solving this problem. The current analysis estimates how many people are inside…

In different areas of industry (mining, food processing, pharmaceutical, manufacturing…), the problem of grain, aggregate and clusters flow arises during the handling activities especially loading and unloading. Thus, the study and control of the parameters that govern the flow of the granular medium and its interaction with its environment are key parameters to achieve the…

Our world is characterised by uncertainty and complex, relational structures that carry temporal information, yielding large dynamic probabilistic relational models at the centre of many applications. We consider an example from logistics in which the transportation of cargoes using vessels (objects) driven by the amount of supply and the potential to generate revenue (relational) changes…

A transition towards electrification of the public transport sector is ongoing in many cities around the world, as a response to global warming and pollution. However, the question is whether the current state of technology is already sufficient to replace the conventional buses with electric ones and if the existing charging facilities are appropriate to…

This paper addresses the stock management aspect. Through this work, we provide a dynamic model of dimensioning and allocation of stocks to storage location for the automotive industry field. This model takes into consideration all constraints of the supply chain (24 constraints) from the suppliers passing by production, storage up to customer delivery and transport.…

The following document analyzes the current situation in mobility and intelligent transportation in Colombia and in some cities around the world. Presenting several cases of success and implementation of technologies and protocols that seek to improve the problems with the greatest impact in today’s cities, such as traffic congestion, environmental impact, accessibility, and road safety.…

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) decentralisation brings about reductions in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) earmarked for landfilling worse still under situations where MSW is being sent to dumpsites. It also reduces the distances MSW collection vehicles travel during MSW collection, maintenance and transport costs due to the establishment of local level decentralised…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

Vehicle number plate detection and recognition is an integral part of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) as every vehicle has a number plate as part of its identity. The quantity of vehicles on road is growing in the modern age, so numerous crimes are also increasing day by day. Almost every day the news of…

The behavior of rivers’ hydrology and flow under changing climate has been an objective of interest for long time. In this study the impacts of climate change on streamflow of the Arkansas River will be investigated. The paper is an extension of work originally presented in ASET conference in Dubai. The Arkansas River is a…

Today, the costs of most Renewable Energy (RE) technologies especially hydrogen energy technologies such as fuel cells, are still beyond the means of poorer economies in developing countries. Hence, there is little public awareness and local expertise in RE in these countries and even lesser in hydrogen energy. To solve this problem, it is important…

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…

Assessing academic performance is a common way of evaluating and assessing the abilities of students in tertiary institutions. Usually it is practically performed based on the cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the end of each semester passed. Unwittingly there are many factors that are able to influence student performance results apart from GPA as…

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…

Sales behavior and the technical development of products influence their fabrication. As market influences become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, factories will have to adapt their manufacturing to market trends even more in the future. Adaptation is referred to as convertibility and can be achieved, among other things, by mobile and intercompatible machines. Enabling machines to…

NOX and SO2 gas pollution have a direct impact on health problems and environmental damage. Therefore, to map the emission patterns and predict the resulting impacts, complete data and information on emissions of the two pollutants are needed. In Indonesia, data on NOX and SO2 emissions that are recorded over a long period of time…

The one-dimensional form of some types of differential equations that appear in the modeling of solid-state devices, like, e.g., the Poisson and Schro¨ dinger equations, can be solved numerically using the Numerov Process (NP). The accuracy of NP is superior by at least two orders of magnitude to that of commonly-used solution methods like, e.g.,…

The fifth-generation (5G) wireless system was implemented due to the massive connectivity, especially Internet of Things (IoT) including industrial automation, Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications, which is shelter an extensive range of applications services and use cases and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). A cellular Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) based on radio resource allocation schemes need…

The heath-care sector has confronted significant difficulties in the past few years due to several issues such as insufficient human resources, budget cuts, and shortage of equipment and drugs. The logistics in the health-care sector take an extensive part of the budget, especially since it is the main axis to provide the hospital’s pharmacies with…

Connected and self-driving cars have emerged over the last decade as a leading example of cyber-physical systems, which seek to considerably enhance traffic safety, reduce emissions, decrease costs, and improve efficiency. Google, TESLA, Uber ATG are becoming pioneers in the autonomous vehicles industry. Autonomous vehicles can have a large codebase and with a large volume…

One drawback of the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is that the origin of the network cannot be clearly defined. In addition, it is not possible to specify internal relationship between criteria and sub-criteria. The application of Design Structure Matrix (DSM) with the Partitioning Reachability Matrix method resulted…

The location of the research is one of typical economical growing cities Ahmedabad in Gujarat state of India. The traffic congestion becomes more serious issues in most developing countries and the…

In the present paper, a universal approach for determining the maximum flow problem in directed graph for solving different problems is applied. It can be considered as a heuristic and it can be used as a denomination for analyzing an arbitrary system with a mathematical description as a directed graph. The physical nature of the…

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) is among the most important crops in the world. High and stable grain yield in diverse environments is the major objective in durum breeding programs. This trait is linked to the quantitative trait loci (QTL). For the detection of QTL linked to the grain yield, it is necessary…
