Automatic Estimation of Vehicle Speed Using Gaussian Mixture Model and Optical Flow
Prof. A. A. Vithalani
Volume: I, Issue: II Publication Year: 2014 , Page(s): 5-8
Abstract: Video sequences of road and traffic scenes are currentlyused for various purposes, such as studies of the traffic character offreeways. The task here is to automatically estimate vehicle speedfrom video. In this paper, I propose a new tracking method that usesGaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Optical Flow approach forvehicle tracking and speed estimation. The GMM approach consistsof three different Gaussian distributions, the average, standarddeviation and weight respectively. There are two important steps toestablish the background for model and background updates whichseparate the foreground and background. This paper combines theGMM and Optical Flow object tracking. The advantage of OpticalFlow is quick calculations and the disadvantage is lack of completeobject tracking. The advantage of GMM is complete object trackingbut disadvantage is to take a long time with more noise. These twomethods can complement each other and image filtering results in thesuccessful tracking of objects and estimate the speed. It has variety ofuses such as video communication and compression, traffic control,medical imaging and video editing.

Volume: I, Issue: II Publication Year: 2014 , Page(s): 9- 10
Abstract: This paper attempts to highlight the importance of ICT ineducation. In this ever-changing world of technological advancement,use of ICT in education is become an inevitable necessity to cope upthis world of throat-cut competition. Nowadays teachers as well asstudents have become techno savvy. As a result, ICT has changedteaching-learning scenario and it has opened new avenue forteaching-learning process. The paper emphasis on (1) Challenges ofICT integration to education system. (2)Management of ICT tools forbetter results. (3) Role of ICT to upgrade quality of education. If weglimpse in present teaching-learning method, the use of ICT ineducation lends itself to more student-centered learning settings andoften this creates some tensions for some teachers and students. Butwith the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, therole of ICT in education has been become more and more importantand this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21stcentury. Thus, the paper suggests that ICT in education is not atechnique for educational development but also a way of socioeconomicdevelopment of the nation. Thus, to advocate ICT as one ofthe important teaching method in this world of globalization.

A Novel Integrated Chassis Controller Design including Active Suspension
Darshit.M.Nayak, Dr.Pushpendrakumar Sharma
Volume: I , Issue: II Publication Year: 2014 , Page(s): 11-13
Abstract—Wheel alignment is important to the fitness of four wheel vehicles. If hit is done an enormous depression, it might be bumped on suspension out of the carefully calculated locations where the components have been set. All of the elements that make the car go straight are called "alignment." Most modern vehicles have technology that currently requires regulating only the toe. The rear wheels are familiarized to specification before any front wheel adjustments are prepared in a four-wheel arrangement. The design of the front and rear axles guarantees the noise and comfort level of vehicles To this we have added a suspension system which, due to its optional air springs and electronically controlled shock absorbers, provides a very high level of suspension comfort, both on and off the road. In this paper, a novel incorporated vehicle chassis control configuration is proposed, which is based on the combination of vehicle motion controls. Improvement of vehicle handling and riding performance, Active Suspension (AS) in the integrated system is to manage ride comfort quality and to provide more tyre cornering ability near the cornering force saturation regions.
Keywords—Four wheel, Chassis, Font and rear wheel, suspension.

Volume: I , Issue: II Publication Year: 2014 , Page(s): 35-39
Abstract: The term Waste Management has gained a large chunk ofinterest of Researchers, Environmentalists and Academicians acrossthe Globe since past few decades. One of the major reasons for this isthe rise in Industrialization and the development level. The developmentthat took place across the World, beginning Centuries ago, withEconomists like Adam Smith arguing for free market Economy for itsrise, nobody apparently predicted that with so much sweet being putby the Markets in our “Development bowl”, it has a lot of sour flavoralso, in the form of Waste that gets carried out in the so called Developmentprocess. This waste takes various forms namely IndustrialWaste, Municipal Solid Waste, Medical Waste, e-waste and so on.The core objective of this paper is to analyze the Energy potential ofIndia from the Waste with a look at power potential from UrbanMSW. High Cost of Waste to Energy production, lack of resourceswith Municipal Authorities, Rising Industrialization, and escalationpopulation are perceived as some of the big barricades halting India’sWaste to Energy Potential. However, given the vision of SustainableDevelopment and the tribulation India has had in terms of its wastepotential because of the factors underlined, with myriad entrepreneursstill contemplating waste to energy as an anathema, a microeconomicperspective has been sought after.

CFD Simulation of Electro-Rheological fluid Journal Bearing
A. T. Thacker, Dr. Pravin P. Rathod, Prof. Smit V. Thakkar
Volume: I , Issue: II Publication Year: 2014 , Page(s): 46-51
Abstract: Smart fluid technology is an emerging field of research that leads to the introduction of Electro-rheological (ER) fluids. ER fluids are such smart materials whose rheological properties (viscosity, yield stress, shear modulus etc.) can be readily controlled upon external electric field. Design of smart journal-bearing systems is an important issue that opens up the possibility for semi active dynamic control of bearing behavior. The performance characteristics of a hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated with a Electro-Rheological fluid (ERF) are derived by means of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (3-D CFD) analysis. The FLUENT software package is used to calculate the hydrodynamic balance of the journal. The results obtained from the developed 3-D CFD model are found to be in very good agreement with experimental and analytical data from previous investigations on Bingham fluids.
