Crowd Conscious Internet of Things Enabled Smart Bus Navigation System
Public transport service is one of the most preferred
modes of transportation in today’s smart cities. People prefer
public transport mainly for the cost benefit reasons. The
problems faced by the people while using the public transport
can be overcome by the technology such as Internet of Things
(IOT). In this paper, we present how this technology can be
applied to eliminate the problems faced by the passengers of the
public bus transport service. The Internet of Things technology is
used to provide the passengers waiting at the bus stop with real
time information of the arriving buses. Information such as
arrival time, crowd density and traffic information of the
arriving buses are predetermined and provided to the passengers
waiting at the bus stop. The display boards fitted at the bus stops
provide the real time bus navigation information to the waiting
passengers. This Smart Bus Navigation system enables the
passengers to make smart decisions regarding their bus journey.
This system reduces the anxiety and the waiting time of the
passenger’s at the bus stop. The smart bus navigation system
creates a positive impact and increases the number of people who
prefer to use the public mode of transportation.

This document discusses the development of an intelligent transportation system based on IoT to help control traffic and reduce congestion. It proposes a system that would use sensors and real-time data collection to monitor traffic conditions and automatically adjust traffic light signals accordingly. This is aimed to improve traffic flow and reduce time wasted in traffic jams. The system would collect data from vehicles and sensors around roads to analyze traffic patterns and control lights based on current traffic density to minimize congestion in a smart, dynamic way.
Intelligent Transportation System
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) use information and communications technologies to improve transportation safety, mobility, and efficiency. ITS applications in India could include traffic management systems, congestion maps to inform commuters, and public transit information. Effectively implementing ITS requires selecting appropriate applications, sensing methods like static road sensors or mobile devices, and a communication network to share data. ITS has the potential to address India's problems of traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and reducing road accidents.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Recycled Concrete Aggregate in Construction Part II
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Geospatial technologies in urban planning
- 1. Geospatial technologies in Urban planning
- 2. Application of geospatial technologies in transport planning
- 3. Transport Planning under Urban development Problem That major metro cities in India fair very badly on the congestion index with its value much higher than the average. This is mainly due to the ongoing urbanisation and motorisation trends, and their impact on mobility and safety of the population. This clearly points out to the unsustainable state of transportation systems in India. Solution To deal with the scenario, most of the urban local bodies (ULBs) and urban public transport organisations are catching up with geospatial technologies to ease traffic congestions and increase efficiency of public transport minimizing pollution levels.
- 4. Catching up with Technology
- 5. Traffic management and law enforcement
- 6. Vehicle Navigation system Vehicle navigation systems have entered the Indian market recently. A typical navigator is a portable device (either hand-held or on dashboard of car) that helps a driver or a person to navigate in real time through the road network to reach a particular destination from the origin. Basically the device is GPS enabled and shows the real-time location of itself, while in motion, on the GIS map available in device. The navigator helps the driver to navigate through the shortest path to reach his/her destination.
- 7. Potential areas for application There are many areas where urban local bodies (ULBs) can use geospatial technologies for efficient functioning, such as: • Pavement Management System (PMS) • Incident management • Multi-criteria evaluation of route alignments • Network band creation • Vehicle routing problem • Postal services • Public transport companies • Jurisdiction of municipal offices • Arc routing problem • Municipal waste collection • Network partitioning problem • Jurisdiction of police stations • Earmarking areas for road maintenance for various ULBs etc. • Evaluation of effectiveness of locations of above services, etc. • Optimum routing of emergency services based on travel time. • Location of emergency services like fire stations, ambulance, hospitals.
- 8. Challenges in implementation Major infrastructure expansion Updating of network data base on devices One-way traffic measurement
- 9. Conclusion Integration of various geospatial technologies is an added advantage for the urban planners who prepare sustainable and implementable policies and framework for intelligent transport system (ITS) resulting in betterment of the citizens
