Undoubtedly, utilizing smart detection systems of loose animals crossing highways has become a necessity to reduce the reportedly high number of animal-vehicle accidents worldwide, where some of such accidents are fatal in their nature. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for example, loose camels are the main cause of animal-vehicle accidents, which commonly cause deaths and injuries with lifelong consequences. Loose animals vary from one country to another. For instance, animal-vehicle accidents often involve deer and moose in the USA and cows and elephants in India. Mostly, such accidents occur at nights and in foggy and dusty weathers. Therefore, the mitigation of such phenomenon has become a hot research topic in recent years and as a result variety of detection systems have been proposed. In this paper, a survey of animal-vehicle approaches are presented and compared. Moreover, a number of popular proposed systems are investigated and a study of their advantages and disadvantages are presented. Finally, the challenges for designing a reliable animal detection system are summarized and a proposed model for animal-vehicle collision avoidance system for camels is presented.

Transmission Network Expansion Planning (TNEP) is an important issue in electrical power systems. It is a mixed integer, non-linear, non-convex optimization problem which aims to optimal selection of the routs, types, and number of the added circuits to face the expected future predicted load forecasting at minimum costs. This paper proposes the application of Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) for solving the TNEP with security constraints. MVO has various merits of being simple structure, having adaptive control parameter, and operating with high ability to escape the local optima stagnation. The MVO has been developed and applied to solve the TNEP problem for two realistic transmission Egyptian networks of West Delta System (WDS) and 500 kV of Extra High Voltage System (EHVS). The predicted load forecasting up to 2030 is considered based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The simulation results for the two systems show the capability of the proposed MVO to solve efficiently the TNEP problem. The MVO superiority is proven to produce economic planning and secure transmission routes.

Cognitive radio is a smart technology which can enhance the wireless communications by using the opportunistic access of the spectrum. Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Network is a promising wireless network which depends on this technology. In this paper, we evaluate the performance evaluation of two different medium Access control protocols scenarios; single radio-multi channels Cognitive medium Access Control Protocol and two radios-multi channels cognitive medium access control protocol using Network Simulator 2 (NS-2). This study investigates the impact of increasing the packet size on the performance metrics such as network throughput. Simulation results proves that single radio-multi channels cognitive medium access control protocol outperforms the two radios-multi channels cognitive medium access control protocol in all aspects of performance metrics with increasing the packet size.

This paper presents the influences of integrating Distributed Static Compensators (DSTATCOMs) and Photo voltaic (PV) units in the real distribution network (Tala City) at Menoufia_Egypt. The investigation is carried out with and without DSTATCOMs at different penetration levels of PV which include 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. The optimal ratings and locations of the DSTATCOMs and the PV units were determined using the improved sine cosine algorism (ISCA). The ISCA is based on Levy flight distribution with adaptive operators to enhance the searching performance of the original SCA. The considered objective function includes the power losses minimization, voltage deviations minimization and voltage stability improvement. The obtained results can be concluded that inclusion of PV units can reduce the power losses and improve both of the voltage profile and stability of the system considerably with increasing the penetration levels. In addition, the performance of the studied system is significantly improved when it is connecting with both PV penetration and DSTATCOM compared with the case of PV penetration only. Moreover, the obtained results verified the effectiveness of the proposed optimization technique for assigning the allocations of the DSTATCOMs and PV units in terms of the objective function.

Light fidelity (Li-Fi) is a visible light communications (VLC) system that employs the light emitting diodes (LED) lamps for wireless communications. The Li-Fi atto-cell driver systems use the lighting system fixtures to achieve two function; namely the illumination and communication functions. The Li-Fi systems are advantageous at using LEDs to transmit high speed communication signals without compromising their illumination at a good efficiency. The DC-DC converters represent the main core and the suitable choice of Li-Fi atto-cell drivers. The main challenges of Li-Fi atto-cell driver system is the implementation of complex communication modulation signals, such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), in addition to the driver efficiency deteriorations due to the communication signal. In addition, achieving high bit rate is essential requirement for communication systems that make design of dc-dc converter is of a challenging task. This paper presents a comparative case study of single phase and multiphase buck DC-DC converters for driving Li-Fi systems. The comparison includes the converter design, the efficiency, and the maximum achievable bit rates of each topology.

Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) offer the means for adopting the coverage and the capacity according to the changing user densities and the associated change of required capacity. C-RAN decouples the provisioning of virtual Base Band Unit (BBU) from the physical transmission provided by the Remote Radio Head (RRH). This decoupling provides a similar decoupling between capacity and coverage. C-RAN allows the activation of the number of RRHs needed for coverage and the number of BBUs needed to satisfy the capacity need. The ability to connect multiple RRHs to the same BBU allows for enhancing coverage while achieving rate requirements using the least number of BBUs. The aim of this paper is to minimize the number of BBUs used to offer wireless coverage by providing techniques to split the coverage into the smallest number of RRH clusters. Each cluster is then connected to a single BBU. The paper investigates the use of three RRH clustering techniques in indoor 4G networks: a modified K-means based technique and two heuristic algorithms using numerical simulations. Results show that the K-means technique produced lower activated BBUs and the RRH clusters were tighter in space providing better user coverage per cluster.

Remote sensing (RS) satellites may provide much information about the land cover at different resolutions that have been utilized in many military and civil purposes. Multi-temporal images Change detection (CD) is one of the RS applications. Images Co-registration is an important step before the change detection process, and although they are geo-referenced to each other they may not have the same spatial resolution. So, prior to the multi-temporal analysis, images should be similar in pixel size. Using optical sensors with different characteristics and resolutions to obtain the same geographical area may cause effects in change detection results. In this paper; Image difference pixel-based change detection technique is proposed, and the effect of the image pixel size on change detection is studied. Two Images of the same area are taken from two different sensors; Worldview2 and Quickbird2 images with “2”m and “2.4”m pixel size are used respectively. The change detection results show that; for “2” m pixel size, the change detection is 0.15 % With regard to “1” m, the change detection is 0.06 % With regard to “2.4” m, and 0.05 % with regard to “4” m pixel size. On the other hand, the change detection results show that, for “2.4” m pixel size, the change detection is 0.09 % With regard to “1” m and 0.015 % With regard to “4” m pixel size.

In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) layered architecture that supports heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), lighting and security systems in a building, depending on continuous environmental parameters monitoring and efficient occupancy detection. The proposed architecture is composed of five layers: end devices, network connectivity, fog processing, cloud processing and security and privacy layers. This architecture is used to build a prototype of an office ambience monitoring and control system. In the developed prototype, the information about the indoor ambience is collected in real-time in the end devices layer and sent using the network connectivity layer to the fog. This information is aggregated and preprocessed in the fog before being passed to the cloud where it is finally stored and analyzed. According to the analysis results, proper decisions are made and sent back to the related actuators to set the office ambience accordingly or to fire an alarm. Actuators remote control and system configuration are also provided through a web-based interface. The developed system prototype is deployed and tested to prove that the system satisfies its intended purposes.

This paper presents a broad band fully transparent antenna for radio frequency energy harvesting. This antenna is used for powering internet of things low power devices especially in the smart museums. The proposed antenna has a high transparency that reached to 90%. So that it can be fixed on museums glass windows, buildings or cars without any effect on the eye vision and decoration. Moreover, it is the first time to fabricate a fully transparent antenna in Egypt. So, the proposed antenna has simple structure just to master the fabrication technology. Glass is used as a substrate and the indium tin oxide is used as a transparent conductor. The proposed antenna has low cost material and fabrication technology. The same proposed antenna is printed on opaque FR4 substrate which is used for comparison. The chosen opaque substrate has thickness and dielectric constant close to the transparent glass substrate.

Tens of millions of people visit every year the Grand Mosque in Makkah for Hajj and Umrah. Making Tawaf (circumambulating the Ka’ba) is an essential rite in Hajj and Umrah. During peak hours, crowd density in Mataf (the area around the Ka’ba) becomes extremely intense. Even when the crowd density in Mataf is less, kissing the Black Stone (a part of the ritual of making the Tawaf) is a daunting task. This is due to the lack of proper queueing of pilgrims wishing to touch and kiss the Black Stone. In this work, we propose a Finite State Machine (FSM) based model for simulating the crowd movement during Tawaf. The model can be implemented in real time crowd monitoring in Mataf. Based on the models outputs, a system for auto-activated barriers is proposed to arrange the pilgrims in queue who want to touch and kiss the Black Stone.
