Exploring Adaptive Acoustics for Educational Spaces
Abstract: Acoustics play a major role in educational buildings as these have high density, occupying classrooms, lecture halls, conference rooms, auditoriums, etc., engaged by students for several activities. Due to their multi-functional nature, architectural studios in particular require larger spaces and these often accommodate furnishing such as drafting board/table, screens and podium. The considerable volume of these studios can lead to compromised acoustical comfort, which may result in issues like echoes …

Physiographic, Climatic, and Hydrogeological Determinants of Urban Flooding in Bhopal: A Spatial Assessment
Abstract: Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh, is uniquely shaped by hilly terrain, lake systems, and complex hydrogeological characteristics, which historically supported efficient natural drainage. However, rapid urbanization, encroachment, and alterations in land use have increasingly disrupted these natural systems, amplifying the city’s susceptibility to urban flooding. The city’s physiography, defined by five major hills, undulating slopes, and a network of natural drainage channels, directs runoff toward low-lying zones that frequently …

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 …
