Crowdsensing is considered as a new paradigm that benefits from the ability of smartphones to sense, collect, and analyze data beyond the scale of what was previously possible. In this paper, we introduce a framework that can be used by authorities to encourage the public to participate in a crowd sensing initiative in order to reduce the risk caused by the deteriorated roads and the imprudent driving behavior on people's life.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121373581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main control objective is to maximize wind energy extraction which cannot be achieved without letting the wind turbine rotor operate in variable speed mode. A multiloop nonlinear controller is designed to meet two main control objectives, (i) speed reference optimization in order to extract a maximum wind energy whatever the wind speed, and (ii) power factor correction (PFC) to avoid net harmonic pollution. A multiloop nonlinear controller is synthesized using the backstepping design. A formal analysis based on Lyapunov stability is carried out to describe the control system performances. In addition to closed-loop global asymptotic stability, it is proven that all control objectives (rotor speed tracking, regulation of stator flux, DC link voltage regulation and unitary power factor) are asymptotically achieved.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125960198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, Solar refrigeration based on adsorption cycles is simple, silent and adaptable to small, medium or large systems. Application potentials include storage of vaccines for immunization against deadly diseases, conservation of food products for future use and ice making. This paper illustrates a new design to improve the performance of the solar adsorption machine to achieve a good thermal efficiency with an emission of approximately zero CO2. The mechanism of this design is based on dual phases: desorption and adsorption. The new solar collector will have to convert solar energy into heat and provide the effective temperature for a longer period of time than that obtained by a plan solar collector.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117007642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed solution is based on the use of the multi-agent ensuring the security of connected objects.

Six isothermal parts at a hot temperature are considered and distributed with three different arrangements on a vertical wall of the cubical cavity. In case I, the number of these hot isothermal parts increases from the bottom to the top of this wall: one, two then three parts (1x2x3). Case III is the opposite of the first (3x2x1). Case II is an intermediate situation between the two first ones: that is (2x2x2). The opposite vertical sidewall is maintained at a cold temperature and the other sidewalls are supposed to be adiabatic. The number of Pr is fixed at 0.71 whereas the number of Ra varies between 103 to 106.

However, recognizing human activities using smartphones remains a challenging task and requires efficient data processing approaches due to the limited resources of the device. For example, the training process is usually performed offline (on the server or the cloud) but rarely online on the mobile device itself, because traditional batch learning usually needs a large dataset of many users. Therefore, building models using complex multiclass algorithms is generally very time-consuming. In this paper, we have experimented two approaches in order to accelerate the training time. In the first approach, we conducted batch-learning experiments using a GPU platform. Results showed that High Performance Extreme Learning Machine (HPELM) offers the best compromise accuracy/time. Moreover, it achieved better performance on two dynamic activities, outperforming SVM in our previous study. In the second approach, we conducted experiments using online stream learning. Unlike the first approach, experiments were performed using accelerometer data only. We also studied the effects of user/device dependency and feature engineering on the classification performance by comparing five constructed real data streams. Experimental results showed that Hoeffding Adaptive Tree has comparable performance to batch learning, especially for user and device dependent data streams.","PeriodicalId":416459,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Smart City Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121886990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
