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.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
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

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

17. Specification:
A specification often refers to a set of documented
requirements to be satisfied by a material, design, product, or
service.[1]
A specification is often a type of technical standard.
There are different types of technical or engineering
specifications (specs), and the term is used differently in
different technical contexts. They often refer to particular
documents, and/or particular information within them.
The word specification is broadly defined as "to state explicitly
or in detail" or "to be specific".
Specification is Part of Agreement.
Why we use Standard specification?

Specification
Performance Specifications
The focus is on the project outcome, indicating how the final project must be able to
function.
Prescriptive Specifications
General provisions: standards
Execution procedures: procedure & effectiveness
Required products: performance
Proprietary Specifications
one specific product be used
Open Specification
does not limit competition
Closed Specification
matching a specification to an existing
20. Quality Assurance (QA)
BS 5750 defines QA as “ All those planned and
systematic actions necessary to provide quality”. QA is
a predetermined, logical, procedural approach to
work.
Q A is a “good thing”
It has potential for introducing
Improved methods of management
Clear definitions of responsibilities
Explicit working methods
It can satisfy the client even before implementation
That system is safe
That he will get Q product

Avoidance in Layout. Avoidance of Technical Supervision.
Small contractor don’t assign their engineer & are unrecorded.
No care for upcoming issue : Bridge Approach, Boarder issue.
Pile Concrete Log, Proper Depth Check, Tremi pipe record mostly
missing. Concrete cover in pile side and bottom?
Test for acceptance not for payment.
Less recoded flow of letter, No site register, OHS & Traffic Diversion
safety is obsolete.
Round Vs Crushed Aggregate issue, Soil in Sand.
Mix design/Re-mix concrete ratio by PDCA Cycle.

Flexible Pavement or Undulating Road. (Weak Subgrade Vs Quality
Surfacing).
Best value for money.(Solve problem don’t implement best you know).
Too much/Less quality – Loss to GoN/Contractor – Crash of
Economy/Industry.
Alternative option if material rarely available, LAA<10 = Design Review?
M25 mix gives 50 MPa strength – Too Good but Expensive – redo Mix Design
and manage ratio for upper tolerance.
Subbase/Base Gradation fails : Add what range is missing.

37. Conclusive Remarks
Level of quality for requirement for best value for money.
“Kill your thrill & Enlarge your will” for continuous Quality
improvement. “Share your Dare to Care your Risk”.
Quality is most when in time within cost.
Test is for Accept or Reject not for payment formality.
QA – Do it Mandatorily
QC – Prime role of Sub-Engineers.
Think for TQM, Do for QMS, QA is Syllabus but QC is Final Result.
Think like Dr. of non living thing, Prescribe the test, judge &
decide.
Quality for Best value & Sustainability not for Formality.
Don’t Escape steps you know.
