Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Home security is of paramount importance in today's world, where we rely more on technology, home
security is crucial. Using technology to make homes safer and easier to control from anywhere is
important. Home security is important for the occupant’s safety. In this paper, we came up with a low cost,
AI based model home security system. The system has a user-friendly interface, allowing users to start
model training and face detection with simple keyboard commands. Our goal is to introduce an innovative
home security system using facial recognition technology. Unlike traditional systems, this system trains
and saves images of friends and family members. The system scans this folder to recognize familiar faces
and provides real-time monitoring. If an unfamiliar face is detected, it promptly sends an email alert,
ensuring a proactive response to potential security threats.

• Check the connection with a solid tug
29. MElec-Ch2 - 29
Soldering
• Terminal connection can’t be only soldered
Must also be crimped
• Soldering is normally not required
Crimped connectors are acceptable to ABYC
If solder, apply only to ring end of terminal
• Solder changes stranded wire into solid
Stranded wire is flexible
• Use 40% lead / 60% tin, rosin core solder
• Battery lugs may be only soldered
31. MElec-Ch2 - 31
Coaxial Cable
• Antenna cable
• Radio coax is 50 ohm with PL-259
• Radio cable is cut to length
• Want attenuation under 3 db
• TV cable is 75 ohm with “F” connectors
• GPS cable is not cut to length
Coil excess in 1-foot loops
35. MElec-Ch2 - 35
Basic Considerations
• Must have source and return wires
Return wires to a common point
May use feeder wire from power panel for:
• engine, helm console, etc.
• Wires above flood level of bilge
Waterproof if in bilge
• Insulated support every 18”
• Twist DC wires within 1 meter of compass
36. MElec-Ch2 - 36
Distribution Panel
• Central location of Circuit Breakers / Fuses
All branch circuits from this location
• AC and DC may be combined in one panel
• All equipment / circuits should go to panel
Not direct to battery (except bilge pump)
• Noise interference suppression covered in Section 7
39. MElec-Ch2 - 39
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
• Used to protect wiring from over current
In positive or hot wire
• Newer boats use circuit breakers
Initially more expensive
• Replace blown fuse with correct rating
• Circuit Breakers should be Marine Grade
Trip free
Manual reset
40. MElec-Ch2 - 40
Branch Circuits - Wires
• Minimum size is 16 AWG
See Wire Selection Tables
For AC normally #14 for 15A and #12 for 20A
• Must terminate in closed electrical box
• Of sufficient length
• DC negative returned to DC Panel
May use several negative feeder terminals
• AC neutrals returned to AC Panel
• Bonding system never used as return wire
41. MElec-Ch2 - 41
Branch Circuits - Outlets
• 120 VAC outlets must be 3-wire polarized
Black (hot) to brass or copper colored terminal
• Outlet wires must have crimp terminals
• GFI outlets
Required on weather deck, head, galley and
machinery spaces
Good practice for all AC outlets to be GFI
Trip at 5 milliamps
• Different outlets for AC and DC power

43. MElec-Ch2 - 43
Branch Circuits - Switches
• Modern panels use Circuit Breakers
Which also double as switches
• Switches / Circuit Breakers
Must be Marine Grade
Rated for the voltage and current controlled
Interrupt the positive (DC) or hot (AC) leg
• Battery Switch
Designed for high current service
Not located in engine or fuel-tank compartments
44. MElec-Ch2 - 44
Grounding System
• Ground is potential of water around boat
Or potential of earth’s surface
• DC – Ground Battery negative terminal(s)
Also engine block
Wire color is Yellow (or Black)
• AC – Transformer center tap on shore
Also connected to ground rod at transformer
Wire color is Green and uninterrupted wire
• Isolation transformers and galvanic isolators are
exception and covered in Chapter 4 on AC
• Engine, DC negative & AC ground connected
45. MElec-Ch2 - 45
Bonding System
• For lightning protection
More in Chapter 6
• All metal objects should be bonded
Keeps all metal at zero potential
Engine blocks
Battery negative terminals
• Non-current carrying wire
• Through-hull fittings
ABYC now recommends they be bonded
Electrically isolated from metal hull
47. MElec-Ch2 - 47
Wiring Diagrams
• Elements of a Good Wiring Diagram
Documents boat’s electrical layout
Should be kept current
Used for troubleshooting
• Component Identification
Physical objects to their symbol
Wires are color coded

Summary
• Circuits should be off when working on them
• Use only marine grade properly sized wires
Tables will help determine proper wire size
Minimum wire size is #16 AWG
• Use wire terminations and ratcheting crimper
• DC circuits are 2 dedicated wires
Waterproof wire connection in bilge
• AC circuits are 3 dedicated wires
GFCI in galley, head, machine spaces & weather deck
• Separate Grounding & Bonding systems required
• Keep wiring diagram current
