Driver Alertness Detection Using Data Correlation
Abstract: AbstractThe number of accidents taking place across the globe is increasing at a fast pace and it's astonishing that around 20% accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue or due to lack of alertness. Non-alertness reduces reaction time and concentration, impairing the ability to execute decision making as well as attention-based activities. Being an aware and responsible citizen, it becomes essential to assure the driver’s vigilance and safety of passengers, co-passengers. …

Optimization of the Climate Control System for Pure Electric Vehicle
Abstract: Emission standards have become increasingly stringent, which has generated more interest in problems related to environmental pollution. However, the EV driving range suffers from A/C (air conditioning) for the comfort of the occupants, especially in very hot or cold climates. Therefore, the dimensioning of the A/C system is more important than the case of the conventional vehicle with internal combustion engine. Specifically, EV consumes electric power from the battery pack …
