Performance Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Routing Protocols in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks using NS3
Get PDFVehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) is an emerging technology that brings tremendous technological advancement in the method of communication among smart vehicles. Due to its complex infrastructure and vehicle speed, data routing remains difficult at VANET. A VANET is also considered similar to Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), and MANET routing protocols can be adapted for VANETs for performance evaluation. In this work, we have selected a real world scenario from our locality with high traffic issues, Nanthoor Mangalore City Karnataka, India and a Map is generated using Open Street Map using SUMO and the MANET routing protocols AODV, OLSR, DSDV and OLSR are evaluated using NS3
ICT Driven Smart Lighting Solution “iLIGHT” for Smart Cities: A Conceptual Framework
No full textPurpose: Smart Cities offers enhanced quality and performance of urban services using various ICT and Digital Technologies. It is a fact that more and more people are migrating to Smart Cities for better career opportunities and to have an enjoyable and comfortable life. With the ever-increasing population, Smart Cities always need to do better capacity management to best utilize and optimize the usage of available resources. One of such challenges faced by Smart Cities is the generation of electricity to meet the increasing demand for lighting. The objective is to have an efficient as well as an economical lighting system that can provide sufficient lighting to its infrastructure facilities, offices, Smart Buildings, Smart Parks, and Public properties. In this paper, I have proposed ICT based Smart Lighting Solution "iLIGHT", which is capable of meeting the lighting need of Smart Cities in a more efficient and economical manner. The advantages and limitations of "iLIGHT" are also discussed in detail. The analytics-based test results revealed that "iLIGHT" can reduce power consumption by almost 30%. I have also provided the summary of reviewed existing literature on the lighting solutions used by Smart Cities and the advantages and limitations of these lighting solutions. I also analysed different usage scenarios for indoor and outdoor Smart Lighting Systems in Smart Cities and their typical power consumption. Finally, I have covered information with respect to my future plans on the "iLIGHT" Lighting Solution.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A systematic literature review is carried out for relevant white papers, data presented over relevant websites, available research papers and conference papers on Smart Lighting System for Smart Cities. I also interacted with SMEs and Industry professionals working on this research area. The collected research material is then properly studied and analysed to identify new facts and requirements related to Smart Lighting System. Based on the new findings and data analysis results, a new Smart Lighting Solution "iLIGHT" is proposed for Smart City Smart Lighting System.
Findings/Result: Smart Lighting System for Smart City is a complex system and used not only for providing efficient lighting across the Smart City but also used to interconnect various smart devices across Smart City and to provide seamless data interactions across the connected products. The Proposed "ILIGHT" Solution for Smart Lighting System in Smart City, is safe, reliable, and less expensive in design and deployment. It can offer good energy efficient Lighting System for Smart City and if used with proper configuration settings then it can be extremely fast and economical to operate and maintain.
Originality/Value: The information presented in this paper with respect to proposed "iLIGHT" Solution is original and genuine and is an outcome of interactions with SMEs, Smart City stakeholders and study and analysis of various research papers in order to understand the advantages and limitations of various Smart Lighting Systems used in Smart Cities across the globe. The paper has provided new findings with respect to Smart Lighting Systems for Smart Cities, and they are completely based on own data analysis and proposed new iLIGHT Solution.

Terminal++ for Robot Researcher Using C#
Get PDFPurpose: Sometimes our robot researcher needs a terminal program to exchange the data with the robot or automation device. Nevertheless, the readily available terminal program lacks some functionality that is most relevant to the researcher. We feel that a featured rich terminal program can handle lots of communication overhead for the researcher and relieve them from repetitive and time-consuming tasks. In mind for this, we researched and developed a utility program. We added extra features like automatic send, change dynamic data, etc., so our robot researcher can test the system communication better. In this paper, we demonstrated the utility program in detail. It is built using C#, which is under the Microsoft dot net framework. The code is uploaded to GitHub. Anyone can download and use it. It can be customized for their need. All used classes are available in .cs format.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This is the software utility program built by the dot net framework of Microsoft visual studio. It has a graphical user interface (GUI) and some object classes. It has a serial and ethernet interface to test the channel. Once the medium is selected, the application will send whatever is written in the input text box. The Data sending may be an automatic or manual process. In manual mode, after typing the command, we need to press the “Enter” key to send the data. In automatic mode, it will send automatically within the preset interval. The transmit and receive content is displayed inside the list box.
Findings/results: sometimes, our project goes into a critical phase. We need to have good tools to overcome the situation immediately. This is a helpful tool to trace the communication-related issue. Using this tool, we can observe the outgoing and incoming data traffic. The robot researcher can use it for their communication-related debug purposes.
Originality/Value: Using this terminal program, our robot researcher will get lots of benefits where readily available utility programs cannot provide them. It has some unique features like automatic sending, changing dynamic content, etc. It has a serial and ethernet interface channel so that most of the device communication can be debugged through this interface software. It is entirely free and open source. Anyone can download and use it for personal as well as commercial purposes.

Students’ Perceptions of the Impact of Online Education on Health during COVID-19: A Survey Study
No full textPurpose: This empirical research aims to see whether students in higher educational institutions are satisfied with technology-assisted Online Education during the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on their physical mental and emotional health. The findings of this study could help policymakers and healthcare professionals develop effective psychological therapies and cost-efficient recommendations for preventing negative feelings among general people who are solitary at home.
Methodology: To demonstrate the demographic and other selected features of the respondents, a descriptive analysis was done. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, a non-parametric test was employed to investigate the significant correlations between sample characteristics and the level of health problems during the COVID-19 outbreak. The connection between gender, education level, and age group vs the stated level of health problems was evaluated using a One-Way ANOVA test for independence.
Findings/Result: It was found that too much exposure to mobile and laptop screens is currently one of the major disadvantages of online education and leads to a feeling of isolation and fear. It may indicate distress and an increased abnormal or obsessive tendency like picking nails, sucking the thumb, and pulling the hair. Excessive use of gadgets even resulted in mental health problems, stress sensations, anxiety, excitation or thrill, headaches, tiredness of the muscle, eye and ear strains, obesity or overweight, faintness, irregular sleep patterns, mental disturbance, back pain, aching shoulders, neck, and muscles pain, etc. Online education also affected the physical activity levels of students like bad postures, later bedtimes, longer sleep rise discontinuation, and later waking times which has been associated with motionless and lazy lifestyles.
Originality: The study used data collected through an online survey to learn how students are dealing with online education, which has been around for a long time but is still underutilized, and how satisfied they are with it. During June 2021, data was obtained. The online survey form was kept open for a week to allow respondents to reply. The participating population does not have a regional boundary
