Mixed use settlements in a metro city: Effects on people & context
Abstract: Mixed-use settlement is a building or a combination of buildings designed to functionally and physically integrate multiple uses such as commercial, institutional, recreational, and other uses along with residential uses. In such spaces, there are more opportunities for pedestrian activities due to the presence of a majority of the daily necessities at near distances. How public spaces are designed plays a significant role in affecting one’s mental state and sense …

Swarm-Enabled AI for Smart Mobility and Sustainable Transport
Abstract: The significant issues facing the modern urban infrastructure are the management of road traffic problems, such as severe traffic congestion, the detection of unsafe driving behavior, and road safety. The traditional ground-based surveillance systems will be helpful, but they will reach their limits in large and dynamic environments. It is because of predetermined perspectives, blindness, and the inability to scale. To designate these problems, the present study proposes a traffic …

A Machine Vision Approach for Geofence-based Adaptive Friction Modulation in Connected Semi-autonomous Vehicles
Abstract: Safeguarding vulnerable road user (VRU) safety necessitates fail-safes preventing collisions from semi-autonomous vehicles. Geofencing allows service-zones definition but introduces friction discouraging adoption. This paper details an onboard vision model detecting VRUs by helmet status, triggering reactionary neuro-modulations of vehicle maneuverability. The architecture encompasses a YOLOv3 detector determining pedestrian/bicyclist crossing intent through path extrapolations, calibrated using lidar-fusion correcting distance estimates. The subsequent velocity governor adapts acceleration profiles based on predicted exposure …

Automatic Zebra Crossing Using Arduino Uno
Abstract: This project primarily aims to lessen issues that arise when crossing roadways and effectively manage traffic. The collision avoidance system serves as the prototype for smart roadways. It is a project with a cutting-edge concept for road safety. Here, an Arduino UNO serves as the controller and is used to connect the servo motor, LED (traffic signals), and ultrasonic sensor. The major goal of the study is to control and …

Real-Time Object Detection and Tracking in Traffic Surveillance: Implementing Algorithms That Can Process Video Streams for Immediate Traffic Monitoring
Abstract: The rapid growth in urban development and traffic congestion calls for adopting high standards of traffic surveillance systems for monitoring. This paper reviews the current advancement and future trends of real-time object detection and tracking technology and its implications for traffic surveillance. Conventional approaches to traffic monitoring can provide more or less accurate data, but they are not easily scalable and cannot cope with rapidly changing conditions typical within urban …

An Innovational Approach for Assessment of Hypothetical Emergency Evacuation Distance in Pharmaceutical Industry
Abstract: Nobody predict an emergency or disaster situation especially one that affects them their employees and their business personally. The evacuation is a simple way to evacuate employee from workplace safely. It is very important that the evacuation is having a systematic approach, rules, regulation and design aspect concerns followed during the evacuation. There are number of principles factor and mathematical models which can simulate the evacuation systematically, so the evacuation …

Street Light Automation and Fault Detection
Abstract: This paper addresses the concept, design, and implementation of an automated streetlighting system that uses Arduino technology for improving energy saving and detecting faults across the lamp. The system consists of several sensors: Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) as well as Infrared (IR) sensors, which are employed in the management to control the lighting of the streets and posts with surroundings and other conditions. Here, we use IR sensors for measuring …
