Motivated by the experiences of a healthcare service provider during the Covid-19 pandemic, we aim to study the decisions of a provider that operates both an Emergency Department (ED) and a medical Clinic. Patients contact the provider…
This paper proposes a novel perimeter-free regional traffic management strategy for networks under a connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) environment. The proposed strategy requires a subset of CAVs to temporarily wait at nearby parking…
In this paper, a dynamic (i.e. multi-year) hybrid model is presented for Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) utilizing the High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) and multiterminal Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC)-based High Voltage Direct…
With COVID-19, the interest for digital interactions has raised, putting in turn real-time (or low-latency) codecs into a new light. Most of the codec research has been traditionally focusing on coding efficiency, while very little…
The development of electric and connected vehicles as well as automated driving technologies are key towards the smart city, with convenient urban mobility and high energy economy performance. However, the global rise in electricity price…
Cardiac arrest is very common nowadays. Sudden heart attack is a condition where the heart suddenly stops beating causing a significant decrease in blood flow to the brain. The first step in medical point of view is for a patient…
Push-buttons provide rich haptic feedback during a press via mechanical structures. While different buttons have varying haptic qualities, few works have attempted to dynamically render such tactility, which limits designers from freely…
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are promising due to their potential safety and efficiency benefits and have attracted massive investment and interest from government agencies, industry, and academia. With more computing and…
At National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM), a selectable-value Transportable High dcVoltage Standard (THVS) operating in the range from 10 V to 100 V in steps of 10 V, was developed. This Standard was built to cover the lack of…
Respiratory symptoms can be a caused by different underlying conditions, and are often caused by viral infections, such as Influenza-like illnesses or other emerging viruses like the Coronavirus. These respiratory viruses, often, have…
This paper presents an optimal control strategy for operating a solar hybrid system consisting of solar photovoltaic (PV) and a high-power, low-storage battery energy storage system (BESS). A state-space model of the hybrid PV plant is…
This paper presents an energy-optimal hybrid control framework for thermal management of heat-pump battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The controller coordinates the compressor, coolant pumps, and cabin blower across the coupled refrigerant,…
In this work, we present EvoK, a new way of sharing one's heart rate with feedback from their close contacts to alleviate social isolation and loneliness. EvoK consists of a pair of wearable prototype devices (i.e., sender and receiver).…
In this paper, a comprehensive Eco-Driving strategy for CAVs is presented. In this setup, multiple driving modes calculate speed profiles ideal for their own set of constraints simultaneously to save fuel as much as possible, while a High…
This paper develops energy management (EM) control for series hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) that include an engine start-stop system (SSS). The objective of the control is to optimally split the energy between the sources of the…
While vibration is a well-used output signal in HCI as part of haptic interaction, vibration outside HCI is used in many other modes to support human performance, from rehabilitation to cognition. In this late breaking work, we present…
This study aims to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of hybrid energy systems (HES) including Grid for providing reliable and sustainable power to Boru Meda Hospital, Ethiopia. HOMER pro 3.11.2 was used to design and evaluate a…
Quasi-static, pulmonary pressure-volume (P-V) curves over an inflation-deflation cycle are analyzed using a respiratory system model (RSM), which had been developed for quantitative characterization of the mechanical behavior of the total…
Regular inspections are crucial to maintaining waste-water pipelines in good condition. The challenge is that inside a pipeline the space is narrow and may have a complex structure. The conventional methods that use pipe robots with heavy…
Micro-vibration has been a dominant factor impairing the performance of scientific experiments which are expected to be deployed in a micro-gravity environment such as Spacelab. The micro-vibration has a serious impact on scientific…
