We report on preliminary work in the application of lowlevel visual motion cues to identify potential hazards during on-road driving. In conjunction with a clinical study of hazard perception in older age drivers, we consider the detection of a range of hazardous scenarios identified as particularly challenging for older drivers in video sequences used in the clinical study. Central to our appr...

Safety applications provided by Vehicular Ad Hoc Network is very crucial. The vehicles in the road form a network enabling the passengers with infotainment and security. Emergency messages can be disseminated in the VANET scenario for securing the lives of people by avoiding the situations like chain collisions. The main aim of such messages is to provide safety. So these messages should be gen...

Car accidents remain a significant public safety issue worldwide, with the majority of them attributed to driver errors stemming from inadequate driving knowledge, non-compliance regulations, and poor habits. To improve road safety, Driving Behavior Detection (DBD) systems have been proposed in several studies identify safe unsafe behavior. Many these utilized sensor data obtained Controller Ar...

Within the context of multi-sensor, multi-target tracking, this paper addresses the problems of dealing with objects in the world that, for various reasons, were being observed but are no longer. A modification to the usual Mahalanobis distance metric used for matching observations to Extended Kalman Filters is proposed, and also two strategies for terminating tracks and tracking objects throug...

Methanogenic fermentation involves a natural ecosystem that can be used for waste water treatment. This anaerobic process can have two locally stable steady-states and an unstable one making the process hard to handle. The aim of this work is to propose analytical criteria to detect hazardous working modes, namely situations where the system evolves towards the acidification of the plant. We fi...

The Hazardous Material Removal Program will provide all academic departments and faculty with the opportunity to dispose of unneeded hazardous chemicals and radioactive material with no EH&S recharge. The disposal program will be organized building by building and advanced notice will be given to each department. Radioactive waste and materials along with routine chemical waste will be collecte...
