Suspension System with Combined Leaf and Helical Spring: A Review
Abstract: A good suspension system of any automobile vehicle must have minimum deflection, minimum weight, low maintenance and low operating cost with some other fine properties. Springs are major element of any suspension system and first line of its defense. If the suspension springs are rigid enough, they will not absorb road shocks efficiently, and if they are more flexible, then they will keep vibrating for a longer time even after …

Power and Congestion Control Analysis for MANET in NS3
Abstract: AbstractRouting to MANET is difficult due to the navigation feature. The main causes of connection failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport area. The interference is due to a collision and a hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio frequency range of each one while trying to transmit data to an intermediate node located in …

A Generative AI Paradigm for a Global Crisis: Redesigning the Sanitary Pad Polymer Lifecycle for Environmental and Public Health in India
Abstract: The sale of disposable sanitary pads, most of which contain non-biodegradable polymers, especially polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and superabsorbent polyacrylates (SAPs), has led to a souring environmental and population health crisis, especially in India. A linear economic approach of take-make-dispose has resulted in the exponential growth of polymer waste that fully blocks drains, leads to microplastic pollution, and overloads insufficient waste management facilities. Traditional polymers are designed to be permanent …

Advanced Helmet Recognition System with Integrated Number Plate Detection for Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Using Deep Learning
Abstract: This study focuses on the crucial problem of non-adherence to traffic regulations, particularly with the compulsory use of helmets by motorcyclists. Motorcycle accidents have a greater mortality rate compared to other types of accidents, indicating a need for a more effective enforcement strategy. Current procedures depend on traditional techniques where traffic officers manually observe traffic rule infractions through patrols and monitoring CCTVs, requiring substantial labor and time resources. The inherent …

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 …

Electromagnetic Disc Braking with Smart Assistant
Abstract: Electro-mechanical disc brakes are electrically actuated, yet mechanically transmit torque. The magnetic flux attracts the armature to the face of the brake when power is applied to the coil of an electromagnet. It squeezes the inner and outer friction discs together as it does so. The design of an electromagnetic disc brake requires a multidisciplinary approach. Its performance is an outcome of the usage of concepts from various fields, viz. …
