Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Subsurface Defects in Concrete Bridge Deck JointsWonchang Choi, Larry Rickard, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel PicornellProblem statement: The integrity of deck joints in highway bridges plays a major role to determine overall performance of bridge system. As the bridge maintenance program, the defects in deck joints have historically been detected by conventional non-destructive testing and evaluation methods such as visual inspection, chain-dragging and by the detecting sounds under the traffic. Future bridge maintenance challenges will … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Velocity Biased-Ad Hoc on Demand Distance Vector to Improve Throughput in Dynamic Mobile NetworkK. Tamizarasu, M. RajaramProblem statement: With the escalating demand for mobile ad hoc network projects, major challenges to system planners and designers were addressing stability and reliability problems due to frequent change of network topology. Controlling an overhead, which means bandwidth utilization due to control packets, depends on the routing protocol, topology and data traffic. Limiting the network control overheads, of this highly … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 Nov 2011 · 7,056 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Algorithm for Localization in Vehicular Ad-Hoc NetworksHajar Barani, Mahmoud FathyPositioning a node in Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks is one of the most interested research areas in recent years. In many Ad-Hoc networks such as Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks in which the nodes are considered as vehicles, move very fast in streets and highways. So, to have a safe and fast transport system, any vehicle should know where a traffic problem such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,363 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Digital Count-Down Display on Signalized Junction PerformanceM. R. Ibrahim, M. R. Karim, F. A. KidwaiIntersections are bottleneck in the highway networks and critical determinant of system’s capacity and safety. Recently, several countdown timers had been installed at intersections in Kuala Lumpur and some other cities in Malaysia. The function of these timers is to aid drivers to judge the amount of time left for them to get the green signal for moving (starting) their … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Web-based Interactive Real Laboratory for Process Engineering EducationMaher Chaabene, Kamel Mkaouar, Mohamed OualiAn online supervision and control of a laboratory designed for process engineering education was conceived. The principal aim was to minimise the time access of an operator when manipulating laboratory features. Hence, the Time delay due to Internet traffic was overcome by using a Web Embedded Server (WES). A human-computer interactive interface using JAVA Script was developed so as to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Object Detection Technique for Hazard Avoidance SystemsSupreet Kaur Deol, P.W.C. Prasad, Abeer Alsadoon, A. ElchouemiHazard detection and avoidance at construction sites working with heavy equipment and moving vehicles is one of the biggest issues in modern surveillance. Background subtraction using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is widely utilized for identification of moving objects with most existing methods leading to improvements but lacking accuracy of object detection. This paper aims to improve accuracy and processing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Multipath Clustering for Over-the-Horizon RadarAshraf M. Aziz, Senior Member, IEEE et al.Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR) exploits the refraction of high frequency radiation through the ionosphere layers to detect targets beyond the line-of-sight horizon. Multipath propagation between the radar and the detected targets may results in multiple spatially separated tracks for a single target to be observed at the receiver site. Consequently there is a heavy traffic, especially in case of multiple targets, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2016 · 7,285 accessesView PDFCite
