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.

The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.

Use PyCharm for remote debugging of WSL on a Windo cf5c162d672e4e58b4dde5d797...shadow0702a
This document serves as a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to effectively use PyCharm for remote debugging of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on a local Windows machine. It meticulously outlines several critical steps in the process, starting with the crucial task of enabling permissions, followed by the installation and configuration of WSL.
The guide then proceeds to explain how to set up the SSH service within the WSL environment, an integral part of the process. Alongside this, it also provides detailed instructions on how to modify the inbound rules of the Windows firewall to facilitate the process, ensuring that there are no connectivity issues that could potentially hinder the debugging process.
The document further emphasizes on the importance of checking the connection between the Windows and WSL environments, providing instructions on how to ensure that the connection is optimal and ready for remote debugging.
It also offers an in-depth guide on how to configure the WSL interpreter and files within the PyCharm environment. This is essential for ensuring that the debugging process is set up correctly and that the program can be run effectively within the WSL terminal.
Additionally, the document provides guidance on how to set up breakpoints for debugging, a fundamental aspect of the debugging process which allows the developer to stop the execution of their code at certain points and inspect their program at those stages.
Finally, the document concludes by providing a link to a reference blog. This blog offers additional information and guidance on configuring the remote Python interpreter in PyCharm, providing the reader with a well-rounded understanding of the process.

Editor's Notes
We’d like to tell you a little bit about these services particularly, as we think you may be interested in them. However, we’d also be happy for you to play our game of ‘block busters’ and pick any other services that catch your eye or you may like to hear a bit about what we offer.

This example for a water treatment works shows the result of the fault and event tree analysis. The analysis has been used to calculate an overall probability of service failure that takes into account current maintenance activities that mitigate risk beyond the do nothing scenario. The consequence of each of the types of service failure have been monetised using social value models – this is an area WRc is known for, and we are pleased to have recently been awarded a project working with the EIC, GDNs, GNOs and Water companies to explore the social value of network interventions.
Bottom axis is fault tree
This is size of problem
Part way through process
Striking similarity in leakage response from winter seasonal effects in water (blue dotted) and gas (red solid) networks. Differences are in summer where, in the water dataset, includes smaller summer PE failure peaks (joint movement in shrink/swell clays most likely failure cause/mode).
This means that the same environmental variables that are important to water distribution – and have been modelled – are important to gas distribution networks. Perhaps obvious, given the nature of the pipework and its similar environment, but nevertheless useful validation.
Model ‘individual pipes’ rather than cohorts because:
Makes more efficient use of data (particularly continuous data) resulting in more accurate models
Cohort models cannot tell the difference between 200 failures occurring on the same pipe, and 200 failures occurring on 200 separate pipes. This can result in misleading estimates of statistical significance – and hence inaccurate models
Use the negative binomial distribution because:
It is appropriate for count data, and in particular for data with lots of ‘0s’ (pipes that haven’t failed). This is obviously important for ‘individual pipe’ models. If using cohort models, probably don’t need the negative binomial distribution as most cohorts will include some failures.
Predicted failure rates can be easily adjusted (using Bayesian statistics) to take into account the actual failure history of the pipe. Adjustments may be much more complicated and potentially require simulation if other distributions are assumed
Analyse – risk analysis to target inspection
Locate – asset and feature location
Inspect – Rapid inspection of critical assets
Target – Target detailed condition assessment
Investigate – Carry out detailed condition assessment
Advise – recommend cost effective remedial actions
Investment prioritisation – Multi criteria assessment to rank remedial actions
Feasibility assessment – bring in engineering judgement to identify practical implement plan
TR61 software provides whole-life costs and carbon estimates for strategic investment planning, benchmarking own/other cost models; and gap-filling where models/estimates do not exist.
Participants sign up to the TR61 ‘club’ every 2-3 years, contribute some of their own cost data (optional) and get new cost models developed and validated by WRc
Participants steer the development of each new version
Capex models developed since 1977, opex since 2008; now adding refurbishment cost models
Software has been produced since 1998.
Now developing TR61 v12 (8 participants so far); v11 had 13 subscribers.
TR61 independently audited once every 4-5 years. Last audited 2012 by SMC
It is important when using more complex modelling techniques that engineering and scientific validation is applied to the results to ensure there is physical reasoning and a logical explanation for any factors (or combinations of factors) identified as relevant. Hence our team for this task – in common with other proposed activities – includes subject matter experts as well as data scientists.
