Monitoring vehicles and pedestrians in urban environments, as required in autonomous/assisted driving, smart crossing, and traffic surveillance, can be performed by means of different systems that use camera, RADAR, or LiDAR sensors. The systems based on the use of the most recent high-resolution LiDARs, characterized by high data throughputs, increase the demand for significant hardware resources, in terms of both storage capabilities and processing units. These hardware resources are supposed to be locally connected to the same system, since bulk transfers to remote units for exploiting cloud services would imply excessive latencies. As the computational effort of the processing tasks seems out-of-reach for low-cost processors, powerful workstations are typically deployed to execute them.

Accurate measurement of the transverse beam-profile is critical to analyzing the performance of the electron storage ring light sources. In this paper, a two-dimensional interferometer using the spatial coherence of the synchrotron radiation is developed to measure the transverse beam-profile of Hefei Light Source-II (HLS-II). On the B7 beamline, the transverse beam-profile of this light source point was measured by the interference fringes of Synchrotron Radiation (SR) with wavelength of 500 nm. Under the normal top-off operation mode of HLS-II, the horizontal and vertical beam sizes measured by the interferometer are $291.9pm 1.6 mumathrm{m}$ and $241.3pm 0.9 mumathrm{m}$, respectively. At the same time, the effect of beam intensity on the transverse beam-profile was also investigated. The interferometer measurement system we designed satisfies the real-time online monitoring of the transverse beam-profile in the top-off operation mode of HLS-II.

This paper is devoted to introduce measurement as a process aimed at producing knowledge according to an explicitly designed procedure, supported by explicitly designed and suitably operated devices. Some subjects of the paper are: the functional structure of a measurement process, the role that measuring systems have in such a process, as either comparators or transducers, and the related direct synchronous and direct asynchronous methods of measurement.

The attention given to gender and more broadly to diversity, equity and inclusion is very high within IEEE and the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS). Women play key roles at all scales, whether we are talking about world sustainability, the advancement of the science and engineering profession, or the objectives of the IMS. Here is a short look together across these several areas.

The article presents a method for identifying and analyzing the selected dynamic characteristics of deformation of a bridge structure using fiberoptic Bragg sensors with an inclined lattice. This paper describes the basic principle of operation of sensors based on a fiber Bragg lattice. Vibration modes were also determined using time series analysis with a high sampling rate. With the help of appropriate mathematical models (filters) and spectral analysis, it was possible to identify and describe the oscillation frequencies of the structure, which were compared with the theoretical model described by the dynamic behavior of the bridge. This model has been tested on a car and pedestrian bridge. With the help of the developed mathematical and experimental model, data were processed, and vibration modes were determined during vibration of bridge structures.

In this column we explore the concept of the instrumentation ecosystem, a dynamic interconnected environment where stakeholders collectively advance education, research, design, technology, usage, and regulation of instrumentation systems. Using non-destructive testing (NDT), with a specific focus on eddy current testing (ECT) as an illustrative case, we unravel the pivotal roles played by the key stakeholders. We argue that comprehending the instrumentation ecosystem's intricacies and dynamics fully illuminates the significance of the technological advancements and fundamental knowledge in the field of instrumentation and measurement.

An electrochemical sensor is a device capable of providing analytical information about a sample, transforming the information associated with an electrochemical reaction into a signal that can be quantified. An electrochemical sensor is generally made up of three electrodes: a reference electrode that keeps the potential stable; a counter electrode that establishes a connection with the electrolyte solution; and a working electrode that functions as a transduction element in the reaction. Regarding the working electrode, it is important to underline that surface modification can be carried out by immobilizing functional groups or biological recognition elements, such as antibodies or enzymes, so that the species of interest can be electrochemically detected. In recent decades, sensors have benefited from advances in microelectronics and microengineering, with the manufacture of smaller sensors, greater sensitivity and selectivity, larger dynamic range and lower production costs, and electrochemical sensors are not an exception. Thus, electrochemical sensors are being increasingly used in a large number of applications due to their ability to be easily integrated into automatic measurement systems that work in the laboratory or outdoors, which is the case when they are used for environmental parameters assessment.
