One of the most challenging aspects of waste generation collection occurs during working hours. Sensors in smart cities are used to track the actual conditions of waste generation. These sensors assist in the monitoring of bin usage. However, controlling a single bin is impractical and requires many resources. Another approach will be to use historical data to assist decision-makers. Thus, based on historical data, this paper proposes an appropriate and effective method using recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to predict waste generation levels in smart cities.

The characteristics of tofu whey wastewater are a high organic component content, which is classified as a severe environmental pollutant, posing harm to the environment. The research focused on designing and implementing a honeycomb anaerobic biodigester (Honeycomb Biodigester) for tofu whey processing. The research methodology involved the initial design of the Honeycomb Biodigester, which was based on a 120-liter cylinder with a honeycomb biofilter (hexagonal structure) made from activated carbon on a corrosion-resistant (PE) plate. The Honeycomb Biodigester was then applied in the tofu whey processing, starting with the acclimatization stage using a starter mixture of cow dung, water, and tofu whey (3:1:1) for 21 days. Subsequently, tofu whey was gradually added every day for 30 days. The measured parameters included volatile solids (gravimetry), volatile fatty acids (steam distillation/titrimetric), pH (pH meter), organic compound content using a GC-MS tool, and biogas/combustible gas content (smart sensor ST8900). The research results indicated that the microorganisms (MO) exhibited resilience under volatile fatty acids (VFA) conditions of 5693 mg/L and pH 7.8. The microorganisms demonstrated synergistic activity with fluctuations in volatile solids (VS/substrate) levels, showing a decrease from 74% to 53% in non-methanogenesis (MO non-methanogenesis) and changes in VFA (methanogenesis substrate) ranging from 5693 to 1024 mg/L. On the 21st day, the biogas (light gas) yield was approximately 64 percent. The performance of the honeycomb in the biodigester effectively controlled washed-out biomass, with zero percent detection of organic compound content on GC-MS at the slurry output of the Honeycomb Biodigester.

The design of an alarm clock robot is subject to countless possibilities. Before the turn of the century, alarm clocks still proved to be a modernist invention, but they were still largely confined within mechanical barriers. After twenty years, the majority of the user population wake up to the sound of electric clocks, or even their mobile device. This study explores the possibilities of robotics and the robot's function in the face of a task requiring it to wake its user up in the morning among users up to and including working age. Therefore, this article focuses on introducing the design and redesign process of robots through the design of third-generation robots, and uses two different computer aided design software examples; Tinkercad and Rhinoceros 7, as well as examples of intelligent sound sensors discovered on the internet. Contrary to what has often been assumed in the past, the introduction of a robotic design, different to traditional alarm clocks has shown great potential, perhaps even beyond its designated use as a conventional alarm clock with wheels.

According to statistics from the Labour and Employment Ministry of India, for the years 2014-2016, forty-seven workers were injured and three died in accidents every day. A total of 3,562 workers have lost their lives while 51,124 were injured in accidents that occurred in factories across the country during that period. Industrial safety is pivotal for any manufacturing industry to prevent or lessen workplace injury. Fire extinguishers and fire exits are the two most important safety measures in case of a fire in the factory. But in most situations, accessibility to fire extinguishers and fire exits is blocked by cardboards, broken chairs, and other industrial waste that employees put there unknowingly. The main reason for this behavior is that fire extinguishers and fire exits are placed in open areas with large spaces so that accessibility to them would be easier. This has enabled employees to utilize the large open space to dump waste. To avoid these problems, we have developed an IoT-based smart sensor network to monitor fire extinguishers and fire exits for any obstacle that is blocking them. If there are any violations, the safety team will be notified of the location by the system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern organizations face numerous physical security threats, from fire hazards to more intricate concerns regarding surveillance and unauthorized personnel. Conventional standalone fire and intrusion detection solutions must be installed and maintained independently, which leads to high capital and operational costs. Nonetheless, due to recent developments in smart sensors, computer vision techniques, and wireless communication technologies, these solutions can be integrated in a modular and low-cost manner. This work introduces Integrated Physical Security System (IP2S), a multi-agent system capable of coordinating diverse Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and actuators for an efficient mitigation of multiple physical security events. The proposed system was tested in a live case study that combined fire and intrusion detection in an industrial shop floor environment with four different sectors, two surveillance cameras, and a firefighting robot. The experimental results demonstrate that the integration of several events in a single automated system can be advantageous for the security of smart buildings, reducing false alarms and delays.

The increased car density has a significant negative impact on the city's quality of life. As a result, parking in densely populated areas with many cars often results in more driving time in search of free space, which can contribute to pollution. Although there are numerous new smart parking systems, the majority of them are designed for close parking. At the moment, no sensors or technologies are used for open parking spaces, such as those found in commercial complexes. Smart parking sensors and technology can help drivers find parking more easily and efficiently. The inefficiency of parking management for open parking is discussed in this paper. From the literature search it is concluded that currently, an image processing technique was used to solve the problem of open parking space is the best solution. This is because many cars are driving around unnecessarily in search of a free parking space. This can be mitigated by providing drivers with information about available parking spaces in an open parking area. The image processing technique is used to guide the driver in determining which area has a vacant parking slot. To determine the number of available parking spaces, several images of open parking areas were captured and analyzed using image processing techniques. The discovery reveals that as the value of the overall parking space increases, so does the value of marker sizes and font size. The equation of a straight line is derived from the graphs to represent the real-life equation of each graph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, significant advances in digital sensing technology and wireless communications have led to the production of small-scale smart sensors that have the ability to sense physical changes in different environments and convert them into digital signals that are collected in one central location. These networks are called wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because they have the ability to wirelessly communicate with each other for the purpose of passing data between them and deliver it to the central station. Wireless sensor networks have great importance in human environments, as they are used to monitor and record physical changes in environments that are not accessible to humans, such as environments with very high temperatures, or in cases of chemical environmental pollution, in forests and seas as well as in deep layers of earth to monitor seismic and volcanic activity. In view of the great importance of wireless sensor networks and their obvious impact on human life, and for the purpose of providing researchers with brief and complete information about these networks, we have presented this paper that briefly reviews what sensor networks are, their specifications, applications and the challenges they face. This paper also included most of the radio communication techniques used in sensor architectures. As well as touching on the most important routing algorithms in "WSNs" and their classifications with a comparison of their performance. Finally, this paper provided an overview of research trends that could lead to significant technological development and beneficial growth to overcome the challenges of wireless sensor networks.

Wireless Sensor Network consist thousand number of intelligent tiny sensor nodes that form a self-sustainable and self-organising network. These network offers various potential interdisciplinary applications such as in infrastructure development for smart cities, critical health care, precision agriculture etc. Recent technological development has steered up demand of pervasive networks in day-to-day life. However, the fast pace development of wireless sensor network is hampered by few constraints like coverage problem and connectivity issues between nodes that in turn affects network lifetime. Strategic deployments of sensor nodes help in providing some pre-determined number of nodes in ensuring optimal or suboptimal coverage in designated field that also prolong network lifetime. Since maximum coverage with ensured connectivity are two separate issues, however together either they are addressed for finding set of most probable location of nodes or to density of nodes for utmost coverage of event in monitored area. These coverage cavities cause connectivity issues between normal nodes, router nodes and gateway nodes affecting performance of nodes opens interesting research thrusts. Here in this paper an approach has been presented in calculating critical points at boundary of region of interest (ROI) for multi-tier hierarchical network to detect and recovery from coverage cavities and attain long life for network.

In big cities, parking has become a crucial issue with the increasing number of vehicles and the tighter parking area. Manual parking arrangement and poor parking management cause traffic congestion, chaos, and crime. Drivers frequently get confused in finding out an Off-Street parking area. The drivers have no information about the availability of the parking area in real time. The drivers know the availability of the parking space when they directly arrive in the area. This matter is considered a waste of time and fuel. Therefore, it is necessary to create a parking management system that is supported by Internet of Things (IoT) technology so that parking arrangement and management becomes more efficient. In this study, a four-wheeled vehicle detection system was made using a Magnetometer sensor that would read the value of the magnetic field strength around the sensor and would detect the presence of a four-wheeled vehicle object that would pass above the sensor. This sensor technology was collaborated with IoT technology as a system for monitoring the availability of parking areas. An HMC-5883L Magnetometer Sensor was used to access cardinal directions using a combination of MEMS magnetometer in the x, y, and z directions of the sensor to direct a robot towards the bearing angle and set it as a compass set point that was used for the navigation process. The test results showed that the detection system has succeeded in measuring the magnetization of magnetic materials such as ferromagnetic found in four-wheeled vehicles and the accuracy system reached 100%.

Forecasting may be improved by gathering real-time weather, soil and air quality, and crop maturity data in order to make better judgments in the future. A data collecting system that generates and gathers information autonomously in isolated or remote areas is described in this study.A line-following robot regularly gathers soil moisture data from the sensor module and air temperature data from the sensor module. It uploads the data to a computer through a cloud connection for further analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A smart home sensorized security system consists of several electronic devices like Camera, sensor and a wireless communication device which provide owners to remotely access the security system and also on wireless devices they get the SMS notification. There are many camera devices that may constantly keep eye on the sites. The camera devices consist of PIR sensors that are used for motion detecting functions and provide unusual status reporting signals and necessary image information to the communications device when the movements of an unknown person have been observed. The wireless communication or SMS communication is done via GSM module. For giving alert information SMS communication is used for security purposes. If an unknown person attempts to enter the house, an alarm is sent to the cell phone to which the device is attached, informing the person regarding presence of someone inside the house while the owner not at home. The house owner can then take whatever action he likes, such as calling the cops or his family, to protect his home from an unknown intruder. When the device is in active mode, it will also start alarming if an unknown person enters the building. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many accidents now take place due to over-speed, drowsiness and drunken drivers. Statistics show that every four minutes people die in 2017 because of traffic crashes and thousands of accidents in India, which are higher in numbers than any other accidents, where people have died. But in the case of rescue indicators their lives may have been spared. We are also going to incorporate our thoughts on steps to mitigate the crash and precautionary measures. This proposal immediately identifies the precise location of the crash by GPS and allows GSM to transmit the data to the nearest rescue car, the police department and the individual's family members. Accident can be detected by the accelerometer sensor and accident magnitude can be detected by the tilt sensor. The tilt angle of the chassis can be monitored. The driver's sleepiness can be detected with a DMD. The driver's somnolence is sensed and the driver is alerted by alarm by calculating the percentage of eyelid closing over the period. Through this tool, the speed of a car can be measured, who is responsible for the crash and the direction of GPS can be seen with the mobile theft detection program. Both data can be analyzed using the sensor value in a microcontroller and sent to the cloud site. The main benefits of the device are cost efficient, stable and victim-friendly, fast savings in energy usage, greater precision, time efficiency and the risk of human error are reduced.

When driving at night, especially when traveling long distances, being drowsy is a major cause of accidents in vehicles. Sleep deprivation affects persons who work in the transportation industry, such as taxi drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers, and people who travel great distances. To avoid this, driving when feeling drowsy becomes quite difficult. According to several studies, weariness contributes to approximately 20% of all traffic accidents, with the figure reaching up to 50% on some highways. The drowsiness detection system was proposed to detect the drowsiness of the driver and to alert the human by alarming the driver as well as send alert messages to their respective people (e.g., family members, car owner, manager of a specific travel company) about the presence of drowsiness is demonstrated in this work. The blinking behavior of the eyes is the essential visual indicator for identifying tiredness because it reflects the driver's condition the most accurately. The device performs satisfactorily in natural lighting situations, regardless of whether the driver is using driving accouterments such as glasses, hearing aids, or a cap. This idea was developed in response to a high number of traffic incidents involving drivers who had fallen asleep at the wheel. It is intended to avoid these mishaps by using a rigid system that is convenient and does not require the purchase of specialized gadgets. The approach is successful in detecting drowsiness in 93.37 percent of cases. Our team used a camera with Open CV (computer vision) techniques to determine and observe the driver's blinking habit. Computer vision techniques have been used to construct a non-intrusive driver sleepiness monitoring system, which is included in the proposed method. Drowsiness will be detected by the system within two to three seconds, depending on the system configuration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traditional concrete can be provided with piezoresistivity by modification with carbon nanotubes. Such self- sensing composites can be used for fabrication of durable smart sensors for structural health monitoring. To allow the wide practical application of this technology various aspects having effect on the electrical properties of cement-based sensors must be studied. This research focuses on the effect of temperature and water content on electrical resistance of cement composite containing different amount of carbon nanotubes. Change of electrical resistance over curing time is also considered. Electrical resistance of composites is shown to considerably decrease with rise of temperature and increase with removal of water. It is recommended to measure the variation of electrical resistance of carbon nanotube cement based sensors with change of temperature and water content prior to their use to provide the adequate correction.

The rapid development of the intelligent systems, which process data received from various types of sensors, raises the question for the change in the nature of the information they provide. In the proposed material is attempted to analyze the nature of the change of the a posteriori information for the presence of a certain type of events, processes, phenomena or objects received by sensors in the process of monitoring and analysis of the environment in which they operate. Because of natural and man-made interferences in the environment, in which operate the intelligent systems and the sensors, the decisions of the sensors are of a random nature. It is accepted, that the decisions of the intelligent systems are based on the criterion of minimum average risk or on derived from its criteria for a maximum ratio between the a posteriori probabilities for the presence or absence of the corresponding object, phenomenon or event. As an absolute maximum of this ratio can be achieved after an infinite number of decision-taking cycles by the sensors, the introduction of a threshold value for this ratio is proposed in this study. In the paper are examined one of the most common types of sensors - those working in discreet mode of operation. A mathematical description of the change of the a posteriori probability for the existence of a certain type of events, processes, phenomena or objects is proposed, and the dependence of this probability on the main characteristics of the sensors is analyzed.

The wearable devices are gaining its popularity in recent years. This paper presents the performances of our smart shoes as a wearable biomedical device in capturing the heartbeat signal from dorsalis pedis. Generally, the heartbeat measured from an artery was located on the chest, hand, fingertip, and ear or neck. Even though the pulse from dorsalis pedis has a smaller amplitude compared to the other artery location, the integrated sensor on our smart shoes can capture the signal with high precision. The experiment was conducted several times to three groups of healthy participants; they were kid, mature, and elder. The results show that the smart shoe sensor could measure the dorsalis pedis pulse and has a maximum error rate of 11.76% compared to the digital tensimeter. Unlike the standard measurement and other commercial devices, our device gives a small gap in RMS error, which is acceptable for clinical needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spices and beverages plays an important role in every cuisine. The quality of these products should be good enough for their best use. The processing steps involved during their manufacturing and the implementation methodology determines the quality of these products. Among spices, Pepper is known as the king of spices. For assuring the quality of pepper, better methods during processing must be adopted. Withering is the most crucial process in the manufacturing of black pepper. It determines the quality and durability of the final product. In this paper, a system is implemented to attain the desired Moisture Loss (ML) during the withering process of black pepper. This is achieved by predicting in advance the ML using Machine Learning algorithm. The main factors influencing the prediction process are inlet and outlet temperature and relative humidity. A prototype trough is developed with smart sensor nodes placed at the inlet and outlet for measuring moisture and temperature. The data measured is saved in a database and this is utilised to predict the ML using ANN(Artificial Neural Network). The error between predictedML and actual ML due to weight loss is analysed.

Roll forming is a highly productive manufacturing process for complex profiles or precision tubes used in automotive, aerospace, building and many other industries. Shorter product life-cycles and increasing product customization require new manufacturing concepts. Digitalization enables companies to cope with these new challenges. Digitized machines and processes become one of the key factors in advanced roll forming. The application of smart sensors is a first step towards digitized roll forming. Edge devices enable the connection of different types of sensors in order to form smart objects which in turn can be assembled into smart factories. The better quality of collected smart data allows, for instance, the development of new roll forming applications and more detailed FE roll forming simulations. Higher flexibility in roll forming production and smaller lot sizes require new and fast methods for choosing the right roll forming line and setting it up. This paper presents a new model, based on FE-simulations without friction, for prediction of torques in roll forming lines, supporting the selection of roll forming lines or machine parameters. A semi analytic model is derived to predict the required driving torques of the rolls for different machine configurations without performing additional time consuming FE-simulations. The model is verified with data acquired by smart sensors installed in a 3D roll forming line. First results of this approach are presented and show the possibilities of the digital twin concept.

The main objective of this work is to provide a hazard free environment for power generation in thermal power plants. Estimation of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) emissions from flame images in thermal and gas turbine power plants is of great importance in the domain of image processing. The primary objective in detection, recognition and understanding of combustion conditions offers a feed forward control action for minimizing flue gas emissions. In this work, soft sensors using feed forward neural network trained with Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are used for flame image classification. The solution includes the Internet of Things (IoT) where the intelligent sensors are connected to the embedded computing system to monitor the fluctuation of parameters relating to the flame colour. The first step is to define a feature vector for each flame image including 8 feature elements, which are the brightness of flame, the area of the high temperature flame, the brightness of high temperature flame, the rate of area of the high temperature flame, the flame centroid and Linear Binary pattern (LBP) respectively. The quality of the captured images is enhanced using curvelet transform. The concept of object (flame feature) recognition and classification (BPA and PSO) of the flame image is carried out to measure the SO2 emissions from the flame colour. A PC based online setup for flame monitoring to detect SO2 emissions in thermal and gas turbine power plants at the furnace level is proposed here. The effectiveness of the system is inferred from the specificity and sensitivity of the soft sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
