An Approach to Inter-vehicle and Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication for Safety Measures

This paper represents how the demand for reduction accidents, traffic congestion, transport time, and environmental impact of road transport can be achieved. Nowadays, researchers are keenly interested in developing a system in which vehicles can communicate to vehicles and to roads installed with sensors. There are mainly two types of communication that occur in vehicles that are inter-vehicle and intra-vehicle communication. Vehicles able to communicate provide a fundamental building block for intelligent transport system (ITS) and can provide various applications which will help in traveling. The primary mode of communication is vehicular communication, that is, inter-vehicle communication. The research focuses on the making of intelligent road and intelligent vehicles. The ability of vehicles to exchange information wirelessly is the backbone of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems. With such a new technology, fully automatic will provide good driving experience with drivers’ comfort and safety. The communication between the vehicles includes information like speed, acceleration, position of vehicle, turn signal status, lane change information, overtaking. [1, 2]. This paper is mainly based on inter-vehicle communication, that is, communication between the vehicles, vehicles to transponders, and vehicle-to-Internet communication. Researchers are trying to implement various ways through which communication may occur between the vehicles. Ways to prevent road accident and traffic congestion are also discussed. The last section of the paper includes vehicle-to-Internet communication in which transmission methods and network model are revised.

Design and Development of Air and Water Pollution Quality Monitoring Using IoT and Quadcopter

The earth is a resource for drinking water and fresh air, which comprises of many untapped elements that lies beneath. In India, one of the major problems in developing countries is that the water bodies are highly polluted and air is contaminated. Industrial facilities use a lot of chemical as raw materials. Some of them are very harmful and contribute to pollution. This results in the increasing in the emission of hazardous materials in air, water, as well as soil. Future prosperity and stability are determined by important natural resources that is air and water. So we have designed the Water and Air Monitoring System that will help the authorities in crisis management centers to discover and anticipate contamination of water and air. The system comprises of one master drone and four slave robots where the two of the slaves serve the purpose for detection of air pollution and the next two are used for water pollution.

RSSI-Based Indoor Robot Localization System Using LabVIEW

Today in twenty-first century, we have totally migrated to highly efficient wireless sensor technology as it offers various advantages over the conventional wired technology. An important task of a wireless sensor network is to capture and forward data to the specified destination. This gives rise to a whole new area of research of localization system and technologies. It is highly imperative to out the location from where the data has been collected. Localization is a process of determining the location of sensor nodes with suitable algorithms. Localization of sensor nodes is an intriguing area of research, and many works have been done till date. Today in this fast evolving world, there is a requirement for developing and designing a low-cost and efficient localization technique for WSNs. In this paper, we discuss localization technique based on the RSSI and real-time data acquisition on LabVIEW (i.e., LabVIEW is used as a data logger). Then, received data gets analyzed using LabVIEW.

Design and Development of IoT-Based Transmission Line Monitoring System

Transmission of electricity in India is now of far greater importance than ever thought of, it depends on high-voltage lines which at times has to cross kilometers of forests or mountains to reach a certain area, and a preventive check has to be done since even a single fault can stop power supply. In order to check for faults, shocks or corrosive element in the wire, the power supply has to be first cut down and interruption of energy flow is not always admissible. The author presents an octocopter, a new concept to translate on the power lines without any interruption of power supply. The paper presents the concept, implementation, and demand of the copter in present scenario.

Arduino- and IoT-Based Tools and Inventory Tracking System in Construction Sites

This paper emphasis on the major drawback in construction sites like diminishing of equipments, shrinkage, wasting of time in searching of equipment and increasing equipments utilization in construction sites. Proficient administration of the supply chain to the materials utilized within development ventures might fundamentally lessen material cost and improve in success meeting project timescales, exactly where valuable tools and equipment are the key to a successful construction project. Ensuring representatives from conceivably unsafe circumstances will be a critical worry from claiming businesses, the place modern mishaps and harm would at any point introduce peril. So we have designed tool and inventory tracking system with the help of RFID framework which is traceable and will help the manager to track all of his tools on the construction sites. The system consists of RFID tag, RFID reader, sensors, battery, microcontroller, ESP8266, and Node MCU.

Network-Guided Robot

This paper describes a technique for a robot to be guided to a position, in indoor environments with the use of wireless network nodes. The system comprises of number of wireless static nodes with capability to change the guiding parameters for robot using onboard switches. The static nodes are placed at strategic locations in environment. The receiver node would be carried by robot. The communication between robot and wireless nodes will be carried out using ZigBee compliant RF modem. ZigBee which is 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver-based wireless protocol is used to communicate between robot and wireless nodes through a master controller. The wireless nodes will send data packet to robot containing information about the movement of robot in desired direction for safe navigation in a given environment. This capability renders network node as intelligent. This technique is of great importance to logistic warehouse where robots are involved and robots move on specified path given by the central network controller. With this technique, wireless network can figure out an alternate path for another robot if one of them fails in order to prevent system coming to a standstill

IC Engine-Powered Arial Vehicle for Medical Assistance

The transportation issue is an uncommon kind of direct programming issue where the goal is to limit the cost of distributing a product from various sources or starting points to various goals. In light of its extraordinary structure, the standard simplex technique is not reasonable for taking care of transportation issues. These problems require innovative solution using advanced technology. In case of medical emergencies in remote locations and in hill stations, mobility of medical equipment in shorter time is a challenge. With the existing battery-powered Quadcopters, they have limitations with the payload handling capacity, as well as with their endurance limit. In this work, we will be addressing both mobility problem and the endurance problem using internal combustion engine-powered Quadcopters.

An Approach to Monitor Construction Site Based on Radio Frequency Identification and Internet of Things

Monitoring materials and keeping record of the data has always been a problem at the construction sites. Our research is aimed at solving this problem and thus ensuring an increase in assurity of the management of the work at the construction sites. In our study, we have used RFID technology.
