Gas leakage caused by various causes poses significant risks to public safety. To address this problem, an intelligent model is proposed for the accurate monitoring of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution based on the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Business Intelli- gence (BI) technologies. Through the use of sensors and actuators, it seeks…

In this paper, we have developed a gas injection-type prefabricated lifting device based on location tracking to efficiently lift the human body in the event of an accident that occurs underwater on the sea or land. The efficiency of the lifting system is very important to ensure the golden time of the rescue and the…

Globally, road transportation has become one of the most reliable means of moving goods and services from one place to the other. It has contributed immensely to the standard of living and modern civilization. However, this means of transportation is characterised by some issues which are poised to be harmful to the human population if…

In recent years the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously and a variety of methodologies had been applied to make them more safe and secure. This work shows a multilevel approach combining Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis of an autonomous railway system with sociological and technical aspects to support safe operations and human-machine…

Traffic road management is becoming more complex due to limited resources and an increasing number of hybrid vehicles. Currently, a number of global classical computing tools are used to manage the traffic road network. This kind of classical computing is resource intensive and expensive, and in the best case, optimizing a traffic network takes a…

Air Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs) whether implemented on the ground or in space and the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system need to be checked in flight to ensure compliance with the standards set by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This activity has been carried out for decades by conventional aircraft and is usually done at…

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…

A very large number of workers is occupationally exposed to Optical Radiation (OR) worldwide, while indeed nowadays an exposure to Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can occur in almost all workplaces. OR origin can be natural, including the most relevant source, i.e. the sun, or artificial, that can be further classified in incoherent and coherent, i.e. the…

Recently, numerous scholars have suggested fuzzy time series (FTS) models to forecast many different fields. One of the vital issues for high accurate forecasting in FTS model is method of partitioning in Universe of discourse (UoD). In this research, we propose a novel FTS model, which is established by using hedge algebra (HA) and particle…

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…

Road safety has become an object of research and many research institutes have invested in this field because a lot of people die and many others are injured every year due to road accidents. The deployment of wireless communication technologies for vehicular networks can considerably improve road safety. It can enable new services such as…

Today, Drowning is the 3rd major cause for unintentional injury death accounting for 7% of deaths of all injury deaths. Drowning is a state of suffocation when water or other fluids accumulate the lungs, resulting in respiratory impairment, ultimately leading to death. The predominant problem during rescue operations of such accidental drowning is to locate…

The technological evolution and the frequent use of the Internet as a technology within the framework of the Internet of Things and Robotics has affected various fields such as Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, smart cities, home automation and autonomous cars. These advances applied to everyday life have facilitated the implementation of new concepts to minimize…

Comparing to other types of vehicle accidents, fatality rate of tipped rollover accidents shows significant number. Thus, tripped rollover prevention systems are important in order to keep driver safe. In other hands, different rollover indices are defined to handle the risk. The variable unknown parameters of each index, for instance, current load of the vehicle…

The fast-paced development of smart technologies and the prevalence of vehicles, created an urgent demands to study and improve safety issues related to driving. In order to reduce traffic accidents, driving behavior was found to be very important issues to study and investigate. Recently, the advent and widespread of smartphone platforms with advanced computing competence…

Road traffic accidents are primarily caused by drivers error. Safer roads infrastructure and facilities like traffic signs and signals are built to aid drivers on the road. But several factors affect the awareness of drivers to traffic signs including visual complexity, environmental condition, and poor drivers education. This led to the development of different ADAs…

The accident probability estimation and the consequence analysis are based on statistical data about oil spill accident occurrence in the Mediterranean area, on the probability of different release sizes, and on the joint probability of wind speed and directions. The risk model and its evaluation have been assessed for the Mediterranean littoral considering the time…

To reduce the risk of accidental system shutdowns, we propose to control system developers (supervisor, SCADA) a prediction tool to determine the occurrence date of an imminent failure event. The existing approaches report the rate of occurrence of a future failure event (stochastic method), but do not provide an estimation date of its occurrence. The…

The high flow of vessel traffic affects the difficulty of monitoring vessel in the middle of the sea because of limited human visibility, occurrence of vessel accidents at the sea and other illegal activities that illustrate abnormal vessel behavior such as oil bunkering, piracy, illegal fishing and other crimes that will continue and will certainly…
