Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

possible price
– (Example: buy from original sources, review the
purchase terms)
• Manage energy use at the highest energy
efficiency
– (Example: improving energy use efficiency at every
stage of energy transport, distribution and use)
36. Principles of Energy management
• Reusing and recycling energy by cascading
– (Example: waste heat recovery)
• Use the most appropriate technology
– (select low investment technology to meet the
present requirement and environment condition)
• Reduce the avoidable losses.
– (Make use of wastes generated within the plant as
sources of energy and reducing the component of
purchased fuels and bills)
37. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Appoint Energy Manager
• The energy manager, who should be a senior staff
member, will be responsible for the overall
coordination of the program and will report directly
to top management. Energy managers need to have a
technical background, need to be familiar with the
organization's activities and have appropriate
technical support.
38. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Identify a Strategic Corporate Approach
• The starting point in energy management is to
identify a strategic corporate approach to energy
management. Clear accountability for energy
management needs to be established, appropriate
financial and staffing resources must be allocated,
and reporting procedures initiated. An energy
management program requires commitment from the
whole organization in order to be successful.
39. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Set up an Energy Monitoring and Reporting System
• Successful energy management requires the establishment of a
system to collect, analyze and report on the organization's energy
costs and consumption. This will enable an overview of energy use
and its related costs, as well as facilitating the identification of
savings that might otherwise not be detected. The system needs to
record both historical and ongoing energy use, as well as cost
information from billing data, and be capable of producing summary
reports on a regular basis. This information will provide the means
by which trends can be analysed and tariffs reviewed.
40. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Conduct Energy Audit
• An energy audit establishes both where and how energy is
being used, and the potential for energy savings. It
includes a walk-through survey, a review of energy using
systems, analysis of energy use and the preparation of an
energy budget, and provides a baseline from which energy
consumption can be compared over time. An audit can be
conducted by an employee of the organization who has
appropriate expertise, or by a specialist energy-auditing
firm. An energy audit report also includes
recommendations for actions, which will result in energy
and cost savings. It should also indicate the costs and
savings for each recommended action, and a priority order
for implementation.
41. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Formalize an Energy Management Policy Statement
• A written energy management policy will guide efforts to
improve energy efficiency, and represents a commitment to
saving energy. It will also help to ensure that the success of the
program is not dependent on particular individuals in the
organization. An energy management policy statement includes a
declaration of commitment from senior management, as well as
general aims and specific targets relating to:
– Energy consumption reduction (electricity, fuel oil, gas, petrol etc.)
– Energy cost reduction (by lowering consumption and negotiating lower
unit rates)
– Timetables
– Budgetary limits
– Energy cost centers
– Organisation of management resources.
42. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Prepare and Undertake a Detailed Project Implementation
Plan
• A project implementation plan should be developed as part
of the energy audit and be endorsed by management. The
plan should include an implementation time table and state
any funding and budgetary requirements. Projects may
range from establishing or changing operational
procedures to ensure that plant and equipment use
minimum energy, renegotiating electricity supply
arrangements etc. to adopting asset acquisition programs
that will reduce energy consumption. An overall strategy
could be to introduce energy management projects, which
will achieve maximum financial benefits at least cost to
the organization.
43. Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
Implement a Staff Awareness and Training Program
• A key ingredient to the success of an energy
management program is maintaining a high level of
awareness among staff. This can be achieved in a
number of ways, including formal training,
newsletters, posters and publications, and by
incorporating energy management into existing
training programs. It is important to communicate
program plans and case studies that demonstrate
savings, and to report results at least at 12-month
intervals. Staff may need training from specialists on
energy saving practices and equipment.
44. Annual Review
• An energy management program will be more
effective if its results are reviewed annually. Review
of energy management policy and strategies will form
the basis for developing an implementation plan for
the next 12 months.
Energy Management Strategy
The key activities involved in the process
45. Energy Policy
• Energy policy
– is the manner in which a given entity (often
governmental) has decided to address issues of
energy development including energy production,
distribution and consumption. The attributes of
energy policy may include legislation, international
treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for
energy conservation, taxation and other public
policy techniques.
46. Energy Policy
Measures used to produce an energy policy
• Statement of national policy regarding energy
planning, energy generation, transmission and usage
• legislation on commercial energy activities (trading,
transport, storage, etc.)
• legislation affecting energy use, such as efficiency
standards, emission standards
• instructions for state-owned energy sector assets
and organizations
47. • active participation in, co-ordination of and incentives
for mineral fuels exploration (see geological survey)
and other energy-related research and development

82. Energy Security
Aim of Energy Security : To reduce energy
dependency on the imported energy sources
• Energy demand growth rate projected at 4.6%
through 2010
• India has to import 75% of oil and 22% of coal
to meet requirement by 2006
• We are vulnerable to external price shocks and
supply fluctuations
• Need to reduce dependence on middle east and
diversify supplies
83. Energy Security Strategies

90. Ozone equilibrium
Ozone is formed when oxygen molecules absorb ultraviolet radiation with
wavelengths less than 240 nanometres and is destroyed when it absorbs
ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths greater than 290 nanometres.
91. Ozone Depletion Process
• Ozone is highly reactive and easily broken down by man-made
chlorine and bromine compounds
• Ozone depletion process begins when CFCs (used in refrigerator
and air conditioners) and other ozone-depleting substances
(ODS) are emitted into the atmosphere.
• Winds efficiently mix and evenly distribute the ODS in the
troposphere.
• ODS compounds do not dissolve in rain, are extremely stable, and
have a long life span.
• After several years, they reach the stratosphere by diffusion
• Strong UV light breaks apart the ODS molecules. CFCs, HCFCs,
carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform release chlorine atoms,
and halons and methyl bromide release bromine atoms.
• It is the chlorine and bromine atom that actually destroys ozone,
not the intact ODS molecule.
• One chlorine atom can destroy from 10,000 to 100,000 ozone
molecules before it is finally removed from the stratosphere
93. Effects of Ozone Layer Depletion
• Effects on Human and Animal Health: eye diseases, skin cancer and
infectious diseases.
• Effects on Terrestrial Plants: change species composition thus
altering the bio-diversity
• Effects on Aquatic Ecosystems: affect the distribution of
phytoplanktons, early development stages of fish, shrimp, crab,
amphibians and other animals, the most severe effects being
decreased reproductive capacity and impaired larval development.
• Effects on Bio-geo-chemical Cycles: Disturbs both sources and
sinks of greenhouse and important trace gases, e.g. carbon dioxide
(CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbonyl sulfide (COS), etc.
• Effects on Air Quality: Reduction of stratospheric ozone and
increased penetration of UV-B radiation result in higher photo
dissociation rates of key trace gases that control the chemical
reactivity of the troposphere. This can increase both production
and destruction of ozone and related oxidants such as hydrogen
peroxide, which are known to have adverse effects on human
health, terrestrial plants and outdoor materials
94. 9Ozone Depletion Counter Measures
• International cooperation, agreement (Montreal
Protocol) to phase out Ozone depleting chemicals
since 1974
• Tax for ozone depleting substances
• Ozone friendly substitutes- HCFC (less ozone
depleting potential and shorter life)
• Recycle of CFCs and Halons
95. Global Warming
• Over the last 100 years, the earth is getting warmer
and warmer, unlike previous 8000 years when
temperatures have been relatively constant
• Present temperature is 0.3 - 0.6 oC warmer than it
was 100 years ago
• Carbon dioxide, one of the most prevalent greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, has two major anthropogenic
(human-caused) sources: combustion of fossil fuels
and changes in land use
• 80 percent of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide
emissions currently come from fossil fuel combustion
97. Global Warming Potentials
• GWPs measure the influence greenhouse gases have
on the natural greenhouse effect, including the ability
of greenhouse gas molecules to absorb or trap heat
and the life time of greenhouse gas molecules before
being removed or broken down
• Conventionally, the GWP of carbon dioxide, measured
across all time horizons, is 1. GWP of methane is 21
which means it traps 21 times more heat per molecule
than carbon dioxide. GWP of nitrous oxide is 270.
HFCs and PFCs are the most heat-absorbent
• However, carbon dioxide is still the most important
greenhouse gas, contributing about 60% to the
enhancement of the greenhouse effect
98. Global Warming (Climate Change) Implications
• Rise in global temperature Global temperatures have risen by
about 0.6 °C over the 20th century. Climate models predict that
the global temperature will rise by about 6 °C by the year 2100.
Strong linkage between global warming and human activities.
• Rise in sea level Mean sea level is expected to rise 9 - 88 cm by
the year 2100, causing flooding of low lying areas and other
damages.
• Food shortages and hunger Precipitation and evaporation pattern
changes will affect water resources and agricultural output. Food
security is likely to be threatened and some regions are likely to
experience food shortages and hunger.
• India could be more at risks than many other countries Models
predict an average increase in temperature in India of 2.3 to
4.8oC for the benchmark doubling of Carbon-dioxide scenario.
Temperature would rise more in Northern India than in Southern
India. It is estimated that 7 million people would be displaced,
5700 km2 of land and 4200 km of road would be lost, and wheat
yields could decrease significantly.
99. Loss of Biodiversity
• Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth ( plants,
animals, micro organisms, diversity of genes) and , and its
biological diversity ( deserts, rainforests, coral reefs)
• Each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to
play and that it is in this combination that enables the ecosystem
to possess the ability to prevent and recover from a variety of
disasters.
• Human activity is changing biodiversity and causing massive
extinctions.
• Strong link between biodiversity and climate change. Rapid global
warming can affect ecosystems chances to adapt naturally. Over
the past 150 years, deforestation has contributed an estimated
30 percent of the atmospheric build-up of CO2. It is also a
significant driving force behind the loss of genes, species, and
critical ecosystem services.
100. Link between Biodiversity and Climate change
• Climate change is affecting species already threatened by multiple threats
across the globe. Habitat fragmentation due to colonization, logging, agriculture
and mining etc. are all contributing to further destruction of terrestrial
habitats.
• Individual species may not be able to adapt. Species most threatened by climate
change have small ranges, low population densities, restricted habitat
requirements and patchy distribution.
• Ecosystems will generally shift northward or upward in altitude, but in some
cases they will run out of space – as 10C change in temperature correspond to a
100 Km change in latitude, hence, average shift in habitat conditions by the year
2100 will be on the order of 140 to 580 Km.
• Coral reef mortality may increase and erosion may be accelerated. Increase level
of carbon dioxide adversely impact the coral building process (calcification).
• Sea level may rise, engulfing low-lying areas causing disappearance of many
islands, and extinctions of endemic island species.
• Invasive species may be aided by climate change. Exotic species can out-compete
native wildlife for space, food, water and other resources, and may also prey on
native wildlife.
• Droughts and wildfires may increase. An increased risk of wildfires due to
warming and drying out of vegetation is likely.
• Sustained climate change may change the competitive balance among species and
might lead to forests destruction
102. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change, UNFCCC
• overall objective is the stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in
the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic
interference with the climate system.
• preparation and communication of national inventories of greenhouse
gases.
• does not have any quantitative targets or timetables for individual
nations.
• However, the overall objective can be interpreted as stabilization of
emissions of greenhouse gases by year 2000 at 1990 levels
• The deciding body of the climate convention is the Conference of Parties
(COP).
• At the COP meetings, obligations made by the parties are examined and
the objectives and implementation of the climate convention are further
defined and developed.
• The first COP was held in Berlin, Germany in 1995 and the latest (COP
10) was held in December 2004, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
103. The Kyoto Protocol
• Negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) were completed December 11, 1997,
committing the industrialized nations to specify,
legally binding reductions in emissions of six
greenhouse gases. The 6 major greenhouse gases
covered by the protocol are carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs),
and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
104. Emissions Reductions
• The United States would be obligated under the Protocol to a
cumulative reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions of 7% below
1990 levels for three greenhouse gases (including carbon
dioxide), and below 1995 levels for the three man-made gases,
averaged over the commitment period 2008 to 2012.
• The Protocol states that developed countries are committed,
individually or jointly, to ensuring that their aggregate
anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of greenhouse
gases do not exceed amounts assigned to each country with a
view to reducing their overall emissions of such gases by at least
5% below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012.
• The amounts for each country are listed as percentages of the
base year, 1990 and range from 92% (a reduction of 8%) for
most European countries--to 110% (an increase of 10%) for
Iceland.

Annex I parties are countries which have commitments according to the Kyoto protocol
Further Annex I parties shown in bold are also called Annex II parties. These Annex II parties have a
special obligation to provide “new and additional financial sources” to developing countries (non Annex
I) to help them tackle climate change, as well as to facilitate the transfer of climate friendly technologies
to both developing countries and to economies in transition. Commitments are presented as
percentage of base year emission levels to be achieved during between 2008 – 2012.
107. Who is bound by the Kyoto Protocol?
• The Kyoto Protocol has to be signed and ratified by 55
countries (including those responsible for at least 55%
of the developed world's 1990 carbon dioxide
emissions) before it can enter into force.
• Now that Russia has ratified, this been achieved and
the Protocol will enter into force on 16 February 2005
108. India’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• 6th largest contributor of CO2 emissions behind China, the 2nd largest
contributor.
• However, our per capita CO2 of 0.93 tons per annum is well below the
world average of 3.87 tons per annum.
• Fossil fuel emissions in India continue to result largely from coal
burning.
• India is highly vulnerable to climate change as its economy is heavily
reliant on climate sensitive sectors like agriculture and forestry.
• The vast low-lying and densely populated coastline is susceptible to
rise in sea level
• 55% of the total national emissions come from energy sector. These
include emissions from road transport, burning of traditional bio-mass
fuels, coal mining, and fugitive emissions from oil and natural gas.
• Agriculture sector constitutes the next major contributor, accounting
for nearly 34%. The emissions under this sector include those from
enteric fermentation in domestic animals, manure management, rice
cultivation, and burning of agriculture residues.
• Emissions from Industrial sector mainly came from cement production
109. The Conference of the Parties (COP)
• Supreme body of the Climate Change Convention.
• The vast majority of the world’s countries are
members (185 as of July 2001).
• The Convention states that the COP must periodically
examine the obligations of the Parties and the
institutional arrangements under the Convention.
• Exchange of Information
• The COP therefore oversees the provision of new and
additional resources by developed countries
110. The Flexible Mechanisms
• The Kyoto protocol gives the Annex I countries the
option to fulfill a part of their commitments through
three “flexible mechanisms”.
• Through these mechanisms, a country can fulfill a part
of their emissions reductions in another country or
buy emission allowances from another country.
• There are three flexible mechanisms
– Emissions trading
– Joint implementation
– Clean development mechanism
111. Emissions trading
• Article 17 of the Kyoto protocol opens up for emissions trading between countries
that have made commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• The countries have the option to delegate this right of emissions trading to
companies or other organisations
• In a system for emissions trading, the total amount of emissions permitted is pre-
defined.
• The corresponding emissions allowances are then issued to the emitting
installations through auction or issued freely.
• Through trading, installations with low costs for reductions are stimulated to
make reductions and sell their surplus of emissions allowances to organisations
where reductions are more expensive.
• Both the selling and buying company wins on this flexibility that trade offers with
positive effects on economy, resource efficiency and climate.
• The environmental advantage is that one knows, in advance, the amount of
greenhouse gases that will be emitted.
• The economical advantage is that the reductions are done where the reduction
costs are the lowest.
• The system allows for a cost effective way to reach a pre-defined target and
stimulates environmental technology development
112. Joint Implementation, JI
• Under article 6 of the Kyoto protocol an Annex I country that has
made a commitment for reducing greenhouse gases, can offer to, or
obtain from another Annex I country greenhouse gas emissions
reductions.
• These emissions reductions shall come from projects with the objectives
to reduce anthropogenic emissions from sources or increase the
anthropogenic uptake in sinks.
• In order to be accepted as JI-projects, the projects have to be accepted by
both parties in advance.
• It also has to be proven that the projects will lead to emissions reductions
that are higher than what otherwise would have been obtained.
• JI-projects are an instrument for one industrial country to invest in another
industrial country and in return obtain emissions reductions.
• These reductions can be used to help fulfill their own reduction
commitments at a lower cost than if they had to do the reductions in their
own country.
113. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
• Article 12 of the Kyoto protocol defines the Clean Development Mechanism, CDM. The
purpose of CDM is to
– contribute to sustainable development in developing countries;
– help Annex I-countries under the Kyoto Protocol to meet their target
• With the help of CDM, countries which have set themselves an emission reduction
target under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex I countries) can contribute to the financing of
projects in developing countries (non-Annex I countries) which do not have a reduction
target.
• These projects should reduce the emission of greenhouse gases while contributing to
the sustainable development of the host country involved. The achieved emission
reductions can be purchased by the Annex I country in order to meet its reduction
target.
• In order to be accepted as CDM-projects, the projects have to be accepted by both
parties in advance.
• It also has to be proven that the projects will lead to emissions reductions that are
higher than what otherwise would have been obtained.
• The difference between JI-projects and CDM-projects is that JI-projects are done
between countries that both have commitments, while the CDM-projects is between
one country that has commitments and another country that does not have
commitments.
• Emissions reductions that have been done through CDM-projects during the period
2000 to 2007, can be used for fulfilling commitments in Annex I countries for the period
2008-2012.
114. How CDM works?
• An investor from a developed country, can invest in, or provide finance for a project in
a developing country that reduces greenhouse gas emissions so that they are lower
than they would have been without the extra investment – i.e. compared to what would
have happened without the CDM under a business as usual outcome. The investor
then gets credits – carbon credits - for the reductions and can use those credits to
meet their Kyoto target.
• If the CDM works perfectly it will not result in more or less emission reductions being
achieved than were agreed under the Kyoto Protocol, it will simply change the location
in which some of the reductions will happen
• For example, a French company needs to reduce its emissions as part of its
contribution to meeting France’s emission reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol.
Instead of reducing emissions from its own activities in France, the company provides
funding for the construction of a new biomass plant in India that would not have been
able to go ahead without this investment. This, they argue, prevents the construction of
new fossil-fueled plants in India, or displaces consumption of electricity from existing
ones, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in India. The French investor
gets credit for those reductions and can use them to help meet their reduction target in
France
116. Project cycle for CDM
Projects starting in the year 2000 are eligible to earn Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) if they lead to "real,
measurable, and long-term" GHG reductions, which are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the CDM
project. This includes afforestation and reforestation projects, which lead to the sequestration of carbon dioxide
117. Projects for fast-track approval procedures:
• Renewable energy projects with output capacity up to
15 MW
• Energy efficiency improvement projects which reduce
energy consumption on the supply and/or demand side
by up to 15 GWh annually
• Other project activities that both reduce emissions by
sources and directly emit less than 15 kilotons CO2
equivalent annually

119. Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF)
• Recognizing that global warming will have the most
impact on its borrowing client countries, the World Bank
approved the establishment of the Prototype Carbon
Fund (PCF).
• The PCF is intended to invest in projects that will
produce high quality greenhouse gas emission reductions
that could be registered with the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for
the purposes of the Kyoto Protocol.
• To increase the likelihood that the reductions will be
recognized by the Parties to the UNFCCC, independent
experts will follow validation, verification and
certification procedures that respond to UNFCCC rules
as they develop.
120. • The PCF will pilot production of emission reductions
within the framework of Joint Implementation (JI)
and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
• The PCF will invest contributions made by companies
and governments in projects designed to produce
emission reductions fully consistent with the Kyoto
Protocol and the emerging framework for JI and the
CDM.
• Contributors, or "Participants" in the PCF, will
receive a pro rata share of the emission reductions,
verified and certified in accordance with agreements
reached with the respective countries "hosting" the
projects.
121. Size of Market for Emissions Reductions
• All estimates of market volume are
speculative at this early stage in the market’s
development.
• One way of looking at the potential size of
the market is to assume that about one billion
tonnes of carbon emissions must be reduced
per year during the commitment period of
2008-2012 in order for the industrialized
countries to meet their obligations of a 5%
reduction in their 1990 levels of emissions
122. Sustainable Development
• Sustainable development is often defined as
'development that meets the needs of the
present, without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs'
• Sustainable development encompasses three
basic and inter-related objectives
– Economic security and prosperity
– Social development and advancement
– Environmental sustainability
123. Sustainable development as applied to energy and
environment
• inputs - such as fuels and energy sources, land and raw
materials - are non-renewable they should be used up
only as far as they can be substituted in future
• where they are renewable they should be used up at a
rate within which they can be renewed,
• outputs - in production and consumption - should not
overstrain ecosystems or the assimilation capacity of
the ecosphere
