Care of critically ill patient requires prompt & accurate decisions so that life-protecting and lifesaving therapy can be properly applied. Because of these requirements, ICUs have become widely established in hospitals. Difficulty found in most hospitals is that expert has to frequently visit the patient and checks condition of the patient by measuring different parameters. This paper presents...
The major threats witnessed by mankind in recent years, demands very accurate and trustworthy personal tracking system (PTS). Using the advancement in the current technology, it becomes a promising solution to meet the above requirement. In this research, an attempt is made to integrate both GPS and GSM technologies to detect and track the position of the target (mankind). Initially, the position...
The need for efficient public transportation system such as buses is rapidly increased due to the increasing in population, the passengers need to know the accurate arrival time of the particular bus to particular station and then plan their journey from their home. Fuel monitoring have been the major problem that most of bus companies looking to solve. This paper developed a bus tracking and monitoring...
A self-powered event-triggered wireless sensor network was developed for monitoring sabotage activities. The network has the capability of identifying suspicious activities and automatically sending out alarming signals. The sensor network consists of self-powered wireless alarming sensor nodes (SWASNs), router nodes, receiver nodes, GSM network and PC terminal. The SWASN is powered by a novel vibration-threshold...
The custom of pilgrimage is widespread all over the world, e.g. Kumbh Mela in India, Hajj in Saudi Arabia. These are the peaceful gatherings wherein, millions of people from all corners of the world come to perform their holy rituals. However, during these events, pilgrims getting lost in the crowd, medical emergencies and stampede are likely to happen. In such incidents, authorities involved in the...
Most health institutes and common hospitals use a continuous cardiac monitoring machine that is immobile, big and heavy, costly and is not equipped with an option to send warnings if there is an alarming change in the patient's heart rate. Thus, the purpose of this research is to design and develop a device prototype that detects alarming changes of a person's heart rate and sends a warning immediately...
Location systems have known a very large scale spreading and developing in the last period, being known mainly through the navigation applications which ensure route guidance accordingly to the current position. This development was made possible by combining different localization modes (GPS, GLONASS, GPS-A etc.), which conduced to the precision required for developing a large number of specific...
Receiving sensitivity of communication system is required to improve as the recent growth of data service in mobile communication. Thus, the interference caused by passive intermodulation (PIM) attracted more attention in the research of mobile communication. On the other hand, point of interface (POI) plays a more and more important role in practical application at recent years, in order to solve...
This paper proposes a design of a system, which would provide a solution to irregular waste bin disposal system. The designed system makes use of weight sensor, IR sensor and biosensor to detect the extent of filling of the bin and the extent of pollution caused by the waste. This information is fed to a controller which with the help of a GSM module notifies the respected authority of the condition...
India has many numbers of colleges and teaching is one of the major activities providing employment to number of people who like to give knowledge to the people. Today many colleges of rural area are facing common problem like bunking the college lectures also meet with the accidents. Indian department of education arises question to the department for their irresponsibility. Education department...
Speed is one of the basic reasons for vehicle accident. Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and reach in time. Nowadays, GPS has become an integral part of a vehicle system. This paper proposes to utilize the capability of a GPS receiver to monitor speed of a vehicle and detect accident basing on monitored speed and send accident location to an Alert...
The use of wireless sensor networks for monitoring physical and chemical parameters in large regions far from populations allows for real-time monitoring with high levels of spatial resolution. However, to transmit those data to a control center for its analysis and interpretation, it is often necessary to use communication technologies with large distance ranges such as GSM/GPRS networks. This paper...
Wireless devices are being developed that can scan spectrum to take advantage of spectrum opportunities for enhanced communication. For these devices to communicate better, it is desirable that they have an awareness of their setting. In this paper, we present a collection of techniques, which we call PLATEAU: Physical Layer Techniques for Enhanced Situational Awareness, which leverages physical layer...
A vehicle monitoring system communication protocol is designed in this paper. The protocol is divided into three layers and each layer of protocol and protocol streams have been carried out a detailed description, and finally an application example is given.
Micro-climate monitoring usually requires deploying a large number of measurement tools. By adopting vehicular wireless sensor networks (VSNs), we can use fewer tools to achieve fine-grained monitoring. This work proposes a VSN architecture to realize micro-climate monitoring based on GSM short messages and availability of GPS receivers on vehicles. We demonstrate our prototype of a ZigBee-based car...
