We used a microcontroller for the hardware device to make it most decisive and less immoderate. BOHNNI, a locating device, is…

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is considered a relevant health risk for the workers of the maritime and port sectors, but scant data are available on actual exposure measured using personal dosimeters. Moreover, in outdoor workers sun protection habits are usually poor, while some promising data suggest that sun-safety campaigns can be effective in increasing self-protection…

Nowadays almost every PLC manufacturer offer a so-called safety PLC. It is a specific category of PLC, which in recent years have become a commonly used means of performing safety functions, especially in industrial applications. In this area of specific applications, a maximum of SIL 3 is normally required. However, the guaranteed safety features of…

The paper treats a problem for detection and recognition objects in computer vision sector, where researchers recommended OpenCV software and development tool, it’s several and better-remembered library resource for isolating, detecting, and recognition of particular objects, what we would find an appropriate system for detecting and recognition traffic roads signs. The robustness with optimization is…

The digital factory is a concept signing a new era for industry, the so-called Industry 4.0, in which ordinary production systems like manufacturing plants, machineries and utilities are being equipped with diagnostic and sensitive instrumentation to be connected to digital shared networks. This data-sharing, trough the big data management techniques, is a fully integrated base…

The safety management system is recognized by safety leading and lagging indicators, and their correlation with injury rates. The background on this specific subject is vague in definition, labelling, and indicators measurement. The comparativeness between leading and lagging indicators have been introduced in the constructing safety performance projects evaluation. Safety performance leading indicators are the…

Recently, there is an enormous research on the smart campus concept due to the revolution of the IoT technologies. The motivation of this paper is to: reinforce the safety on campus, reduce the cost, and take one step forward toward a University smart campus. In this paper, we are not only proposing a framework that…

The torch relay for the 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade started June. The innovative torch design was altered and tested, follow-up production successfully. For preventing weather effect, the head of the torch embedded with a unique airflow structure that allowed the sacred flame to pass the wind and rain tests. The safety lantern displays a 3D…

In this work, a representative combinational circuit is visualized in various ways. It is abstracted (concretized) from transistor level to gate level and a structure-preserving transition is carried out into a signal flow graph. For creating a signal flow plan it is necessary to swap the nodes and the edges in the signal flow graph.…

One of the prominent challenges of the automotive-transportation system is represented by the integration of security and safety properties within protocols, applications and connectivity mechanisms. A joint safety/security design can sometimes expose to trade-offs, since their requirements may not match perfectly or even be incompatible. This paper analyses an example of security and safety design,…

Quality assurance of modern-day safety-critical systems is continually facing new challenges with the increase in both the level of functionality they provide and their degree of interaction with their environment. We propose a novel selection method for black-box regression testing on the basis of machine learning techniques for increasing testing efficiency. Risk-aware selection decisions are…

Safety is becoming more and more important with the ever increasing level of safety related E/E Systems built into the cars. Increasing functionality of vehicle systems through electrification of power train, in future even more by autonomous driving, leads to complexity in designing system, software and safety architecture. ISO 26262 aims to reduce the complexity…

Establishing an environment that allows for the quantitative evaluation of the ability of autonomous driving systems to respond to real-world adverse conditions is crucial to ensuring their safety and reliability. This study proposes a dynamic scenario-based simulation framework that simulates complex and sequential hazardous scenarios frequently encountered in actual road environments. The proposed scenarios are…

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…

The quality of the electric power system must be maintained properly, one of which is voltage. Under certain operating conditions, the bus voltage may drop below its minimum level, called bad voltage. A large reactive load can cause a voltage drop across the bus or the location of the bus is far from the generator…
