15_3_446_The Elderly Independent Living in Smart Homes: A Characterization of Activities and
Sensing Infrastructure Survey to Facilitate Services Development
Abstract:
Human activity detection within smart homes is one of the basis of unobtrusive
wellness monitoring of a rapidly aging population in developed countries. Most works in
this area use the concept of “activity” as the building block with which to construct applications such as
healthcare monitoring or ambient assisted living. The process of identifying a specific activity
encompasses the selection of the appropriate set of sensors, the correct preprocessing of their provided
raw data and the learning/reasoning using this information. If the selection of the sensors and the data

3. processing methods are wrongly performed, the whole activity detection process may fail, leading to
the consequent failure of the whole application. Related to this, the main contributions of this review
are the following: first, we propose a classification of the main activities considered in smart home
scenarios which are targeted to older people’s independent living, as well as their characterization and
formalized context representation; second, we perform a classification of sensors and data processing
methods that are suitable for the detection of the aforementioned activities. Our aim is to help
researchers and developers in these lower-level technical aspects that are nevertheless fundamental for
the success of the complete application.

15_5_WSN AND IOT-BASED SMART HOMES AND THEIR EXTENSION TO
SMART BUILDINGS
Abstract
Our research approach is to design and develop reliable, efficient, flexible,
economical, real-time and realistic wellness sensor networks for smart home systems. The
heterogeneous sensor and actuator nodes based on wireless networking technologies are deployed into
the home environment. These nodes generate real-time data related to the object usage and movement
inside the home, to forecast the wellness of an individual.
Here, wellness stands for how efficiently someone stays fit in the home environment and

4. performs his or her daily routine in order to live a long and healthy life. We initiate the research with
the development of the smart home approach and implement it in different home conditions (different
houses) to monitor the activity of an inhabitant for wellness detection. Additionally, our research
extends the smart home system to smart buildings and models the design issues related to the smart
building environment; these design issues are linked with system performance and reliability. This
research paper also discusses and illustrates the possible mitigation to handle the ISM band interference
and attenuation losses without compromising optimum system performance.

The smart city design means a city is driven technologically. In this we are using various
sensors for measurement of pollution, water level, traffic on road, and consumption of electricity in
various area in the city. Here we plant for pollution , for water level float sensor ,MQ-7 sensor, for
traffic IR sensor and also camera is used for
capturing an image, however for electricity LDR sensor.
For eg MQ-7 sensor measure concentration of carbon monoxide gas present in air. We take information
from these sensors and send to PIC controller and PIC will send this information to Controlled area
network bus. Via the CAN bus this info is send to sub-office for detecting the problem. Also there is
corporation office which will get this information by the Global system for mobile and it will decide
the solution over that problem occurred in a particular area.
15_7_CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK BASED CRUISE CONTROL IN TRAFFIC
SITUATIONS
Abstract
Intelligent vehicle cooperation based on reliable communication systems contributes not only to
reducing traffic accidents but also to improving traffic flow. Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems
can gain enhanced performance by adding vehicle–vehicle communication to provide additional
information to augment range sensor data, leading to cooperative ACC (CACC). This paper presents
the design, development, implementation, and testing of a CACC system. It consists of two controllers,
one to manage the approaching maneuver to the leading vehicle and the other to regulate car speed. In

5. the prototype, we are going to design the ACC using an ARM 11 processor as the Main controller and
ARM Cortex M3 as the Low level controller. Using Controller area network (CAN) protocol the slave
module will transmit the data i.e. GPS location, Speed using speed sensor and distance based on
ultrasonic sensor interface. The data will be transmitted to the Master Controller for analyzing , based
on the cruise control algorithm will plot the speed graph and if any values are crossed over the
threshold level, then will control the motor (i.e Engine) .
15_8_CONTROL AREA NETWORK LIMITATIONS IN ECOCAR
Abstract
This research was conducted to produce a Communication Area Network (CAN) system that
can effectively send messages using an Arduino with a CAN shield and to determine characteristic
robustness. CAN systems are the most prominent form of communication between microcontrollers
and devices primarily within vehicles. The CAN system itself was analyzed to determine the system’s
robustness and weaknesses, along with proving that a twisted-paired wire is much more effective than a
non-twisted pair. A relay was used to control the CAN messages to determine CAN practical usability.
An Electro-magnetic Field radiation meter was used to determine the ambient electromagnetic
field intensity at which the signal of both the twisted paired wire and the non-twisted paired wire
distorted.
15_9_DUAL MODE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK FOR REAL-TIME CONTACTLESS
IN-DOOR HEALTH MONITORING
Abstract
Due to the ageing population, real-time and autonomous health monitoring is an emerging
priority in ambient assisted living. In this work, a wireless sensor network is
proposed for home environments by which the sensors are dual-mode radars, enabling concurrent
remote localization of a person (i.e., without use of a tag) and fall detection. We elaborate on the
network architecture, and in particular on the signaling as to enable real-time data processing (i.e., max.
delay is 0.3 s) combined with radar-based wireless sensing. The approach is successfully demonstrated
experimentally.

Demand Response (DR) programs in the smart grid environment. It provides a homeowner the ability
to automatically perform smart load controls based on utility signals, customer’s preference and load
priority. This paper presents the hardware demonstration of the proposed HEM system for managing
end-use appliances. The HEM’s communication time delay to perform load control is analyzed, along
with its residual energy consumption.
15_11_GREENCHARGE: MANAGING RENEWABLE ENERGY IN SMART BUILDINGS
Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) uses many small on-site energy harvesting deployments at
individual buildings to generate electricity. DG has the potential to make generation more efficient by
reducing transmission and distribution losses, carbon emissions, and demand peaks. However, since
renewables are intermittent and uncontrollable, buildings must still rely, in part, on the electric grid for
power. While DG deployments today use net metering to offset costs and balance local supply and
demand, scaling net metering for intermittent renewables to a large fraction of buildings is challenging.
In this paper, we explore an alternative approach that combines market-based
electricity pricing models with on-site renewables and modest energy storage (in the form of batteries)
to incentivize DG. We propose a system architecture and optimization algorithm, called GreenCharge,
to efficiently manage the renewable energy and storage to reduce a building’s electric bill. To
determine when to charge and discharge the battery each day, the algorithm leverages prediction
models for forecasting both future energy demand and future energy harvesting. We evaluate
GreenCharge in simulation using a collection of real-world data sets, and compare with an oracle that
has perfect knowledge of future energy demand/harvesting and a system that only leverages a
battery to lower costs (without any renewables). We show that GreenCharge’s savings for a typical
home today are near 20%, which are greater than the savings from using only net metering.

15_13_87_SEED SOWING USING ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
In India, near about 70% people are dependent upon agriculture. So the agricultural system in
India should be advanced to reduce the efforts of farmers. Various number of operations are performed

8. in the agriculture field like seed sowing, weeding, cutting, pesticide spraying etc. Very basic and
significant operation is seed sowing. But the present methods of seed sowing are problematic. The
equipments used for seed sowing are very difficult and inconvenient to handle. So there is a need to
develop equipment which will reduce the efforts of farmers. This system introduces a control
mechanism which aims to drop seeds at particular position with specified distance between two seeds
and lines while sowing. The drawbacks of the existing sowing machine will be removed successfully in
this automatic machine.
15_14_AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR ACCIDENT DETECTION
Abstract:
Major accidents on highways, freeways and local roads can lead to huge social and economic
impacts. Minor accidents may be resolved by the passengers themselves and do not require escorting to
hospitals whereas major accidents where airbags are deployed require immediate attention of
authorities. Automatic Smart Accident Detection (ASAD) is an auto-detection unit system that
immediately notifies an Emergency Contact through a text message when an instant change in
acceleration, rotation and an impact force in an end of the vehicle is detected by the system, detailing
the location and time of the accident. The idea is that as soon as an accident is detected by the system,
the authorities should immediately be notified to prevent further car congestion as well as allow the
passengers to be escorted to the hospital in a timely fashion. The system involves the use of fuzzy logic
as a decision support built into the smartphone application that analyzes the incoming data from the
sensors and makes a decision based on a set of rules. The simulated results show a 98.67% accuracy of
the system with failures resulting from the “gray regions” of the variable values.
15_15_An Effective Wireless Solution for Industrial Automation
Abstract:
Embedded web server is the combination of embedded devices and internet technology. This paper is
focused on development of embedded web server based on Raspberry Pi for the communication in
automation. For effective designing & implementing a system we use GPRS technology. This GPRS
technology along with GSM makes the system Accessible from anywhere in the world. Various sensors
are interfaced with microcontroller. Parameters like Light, pressure, motion & angle are measured &
real time sensed data is available on the remote pc. Due to the use of GPRS technology we can achieve

9. super speed transmission of large amount of data in very less time. Thus Proper use of wireless sensor
networks (WSNs) lowers the rate of failures, overall cost of the system, & increases the productivity,
efficiency of overall industrial operations.
15_16_MICROCONTROLLER BASED THREE PHASE FAULT ANALYSIS FOR
TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT FAULT
Abstract -
This paper to develop an automatic tripping mechanism for the three phase supply system. The
project output resets automatically after a brief interruption in the event temporary fault while it remain
remains in tripped condition in case of permanent fault. The electrical substation which supply the
power to the consumers, have failures due to some faults which can be temporary or permanent. These
faults lead to substantial damage to the power system equipment. In India it is common, the faults
might be LG
(Line to Ground), LL (Line to Line), 3L (Three lines) in the supply systems and these faults in three
phase supply system can affect the power system.
To overcome this problem a system is built, which can sense these faults and automatically
disconnects the supply to avoid large scale damage to the control gears in the grid sub-stations. This
project is designed to understand about the basic operation of the relay and what are all the advanced
techniques that are being used by the people to ensure the safe operation of the electrical appliance. The
circuit will isolate the load from the supply if any power fluctuation occurred. The major advantage of
the project is, it not only save the appliance but it will also show the type of the fault that has been
occurred in the system so that it will be easy for the operator to solve the problem easily. It will also
check whether the fault is a permanent or a temporary fault. If the fault is temporary fault then the
supply will be restored after a predefined time of 5-10 seconds
otherwise a permanent trip signal is given to the relays.

10. A NOVEL RECONFIGURABLE MICROGRID ARCHITECTURE
WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND STORAGE
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel reconfigurable micro- grid architecture comprising photovoltaic,
wind, microhydro, and fuel cell based renewable energy sources. Transient and extended power backup
are provided with ultra-capacitor (UC) and battery storage, respectively. A distinguishing feature of
this microgrid is that its various control layers can switch roles during emergency. As renewable energy
sources with significantly different dynamic behavior and dissimilar generating capacities are involved,
disruptive effects such as voltage dips and fluctuations, frequency variation, and harmonic distortion
are likely. This is handled through centralized monitoring in conjunction with hierarchical control. The
reliability and sustainability of the resulting complex microgrid architecture is ensured through the
proposed reconfigurable control and power network of the microgrid, supported by a hybrid
communication layer comprising CAN, RS-485, and MODBUS protocols.
The proposed architecture is strengthened by an additional “advisory” layer comprising an
advisory controller that supports long-term optimization of microgrid operation under normal
conditions and governs interim role assignments to control layers during crisis. All these special
features ensure continuity of power with sustained performance or gracefully degraded performance
even under various kinds of faults and
abnormal events. Design of various controllers, protection, and reconfigurability features with relevant
analysis and experimental results are presented.
