Automatic Number Plate Recognition Based Image Processing
Abstract: In most countries, traffic control and vehicle owner identification have become important problems. It is almost impossible to identify vehicle owners who break rules of the traffic, especially those driving at high speeds. Another problem inhibits traffic officers from catching the offenders in most cases because solving traffic offenders involves retrieving license plate numbers from fast-moving vehicles. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems have been developed as an effective solution …

Walking into the future: Energy Harvesting from Foot Fall
Abstract: The rapid depletion of non-renewable energy resources and the rising demand for sustainable alternatives have led to the exploration of innovative energy harvesting technologies. One such approach is harnessing the untapped mechanical energy produced by human footfalls in crowded public areas. This project presents a novel method of electricity generation using a flywheel-based mechanical system that captures and converts footstep energy into electrical energy. The system is designed to be …

Fabrication of Adaptive Headlamp System
Abstract: According to National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the percentage of deaths of the pedestrian is high between the hours of 6 pm. to 9 pm. Due to insufficient light conditions. Looking at the current condition it is of great importance to use available techniques to contribute to road safety by increasing the visual image provided by currently used vehicle headlights. The feature of these headlamps is that they turn …

Design of Photonic Sensor for Driver Assistance
Abstract: AbstractA report from National Highway Traffic Safety Association, USA, states that 100000 police reported crashes are a result of driver fatigue. This figure would be quite mind boggling for developing nations, where work periods are usually extended without conducting detailed scrutiny. Sophisticated vehicles are equipped with sensors for assisting drivers and providing them with time-critical accident alerts. However, there is a need to develop cheap and reliable sensors for 24x7 …

Cost-Effective Conversion Techniques of Scrap Bicycles into Intelligent Electric Bicycles: A Review
Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been an overwhelming increase in requirement of sustainable and affordable urban mobility solutions both due to the environmental concerns along with the rising fuel prices and urban traffic jams. Electric bicycles (e-bike) have become an efficient option as a substitute to traditional modes of transport which are similar to conventional tools since they have low emissions and are energy efficient as well as …

Hybrid Supercapacitor-Lithium Battery Performance for Electric Vehicles Under WLTP Protocol
Abstract: This work aims to characterize the hybrid electric vehicle performance powered by a hybrid lithium battery/supercapacitor system. The characterization process runs on a standard driving cycle, the World Harmonized Light-duty Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), applied in many countries like the European Union but it can be applied to other standards like the American FTP-75 and the Japanese JC08 with similar operational results. The study shows a combination between a lithium …
