Abstract With the increase in vehicle production and world population, more and more parking spaces and facilities are required. In this research a new parking system called Smart Parking System (SPS) is proposed to assist drivers to find vacant spaces in a car park in a shorter time and save effort. The new system uses sensors to detect either car park occupancy or improper parking actions. Features of SPS include display of available parking spaces, payment facilities and different types o...
ABSTRACT Biomass is naturally abundant in rural communities but is generally considered to be a waste in most developing countries of the world where it is used inefficiently in its traditional form. The effective utilization of these materials offers many advantages among which is a renewable and sustainable energy feedstock for the production of solid fuel – briquettes - for heating applications. Attempts have been made in developing machines for commercial briquetting of biomass in deve...
Abstract In areas in which there is little or no communication infrastructure or the existing infrastructure is expensive or inconvenient to use, wireless mobile users may still be able to communicate through the formation of an ad hoc network. This research investigates the overall performance of the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) under IPv6 environment. Using VoIP over MANETs takes advantag...
ABSTRACT This project is a farm operation monitoring system using a microcontroller device that gets the status of the farm by using the following factors: soil moisture, temperature, light and humidity and send the status of the farm to the user using a SMS alert notification system all at a given time. In the field section, the Farm monitoring system was built around three sensor modules, and will be programmed using to read in data from a monitoring device that will be attached to the sen...
ABSTRACT Agriculture is considered as the basis of life as it is the main source of food and other raw materials. This report describes an IOT Irrigation Monitoring and Control system wherein, the user can monitor and control the supply of water from a remote location. The system makes use of a concept called TOT (Internet of Things). This enables the system to be connected to the internet using a Wi-Fi module. An Arduino Uno board was used to send the control signals and connect to the desi...
ABSTRACT In today's world, speech recognition has become very popular and important, speech plays a vital role in human to system and machine communication, speech signal is transformed from analog to digital wave form, which can be understood by the system or machine. , , The development of a speech recognition system for toilet flushing using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) technique, has become a necessity as the physically challenged ones (handicap), individuals suffering from ...
ABSTRACT Language is the basic medium of communication and it is ultimately important because it is the primary means through which humans have the ability to communicate and interact with one another. Translation has been made very important so as to bridge the gap of information inequality. A lot of countries and organizations rely on human translators to disseminate information but human translators are limited in terms of speed, insecurity and high cost, therefore the demand for faster a...
ABSTRACT As the prices of building materials in the country continue to increase sharply, there is growing need to source local materials as alternative for farm building constructions. This project investigates the performance of a cylindrical shell built of laterized concrete for storage of foodgrains or water. L In order to optimize the mix ratio of the constituent materials that will produce maximum strength, a mathematical model which relates the strength of laterized concrete and its ...
ABSTRACT This study has found the relationship between performance management, productivity and efficiency at SAFAT Aviation Group. It has achieved the objectives. The research questions have developed. hypotheses were developed also for the study. Historical data was reviewed, survey and interview have used as main tools for data collection of primary data. Respondents have selected using simple random sampling technique. The responses were entered and analyzed by using SPSS v11. The findin...
Abstract aerospace is one of the most developed science all over the world and it is not exclusive to the developed countries. In a country like Sudan with extended boundaries, huge internal resources never profiteered from this technology. There are numerous security problems represent some challenges. The main objective of this study is to design a small microsatellite structure to solve and control those types of problems. Microsatellite structure was modelled using SOLIDWORKS then the st...
ABSTRACT The performance of diesel engines is heavily influenced by their injection system design. In fact, the most notable advances achieved in diesel engines resulted directly from superior fuel injection system designs. While the main purpose of the system is to deliver fuel to the cylinders of a diesel engine, it is how that fuel is delivered that makes the difference in engine performance, emissions, and noise characteristics. The objective of the present work is to evaluate performanc...

Abstract The pumps work differently in terms of performance characteristics when operated in reverse mode to generate mechanical rotational energy driven by the water energy. The performance characteristics related to head, flow rate, specific speed and efficiency have been predicted differently from available conversion methods. Also, the procedure of selecting pump as hydro-turbine varies from different conversion methods. This article presents the methodological approach of evaluating th...
ABSTRACT Wireless indoor positioning systems have become very popular in recent years. These systems have been successfully used in many applications such as asset tracking and inventory management. Although satellite-based Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Cellular Networks (CNs) have empowered a variety of location based services but they do not work well in indoor environments where walls and excessive multipath objects greatly attenuate satellite and cellular signals. In most cases, t...
ABSTRACT Load forecasting is an important component for power system energy management system. Precise load forecasting helps the electric utility to make unit commitment decisions, reduces spinning reserve capacity and schedule device maintenance plan properly. It also reduces the generation cost and increases reliability of power systems. In this work, a fuzzy logic approach for short term load forecasting is attempted. Time, temperature and similar previous day load are used as the indepe...
