ABSTRACT Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and properties, and it accounts for over 70% of total loss of properties and about 20% of total loss of lives every year in Nigeria. Although some conventional fire preventive systems have been developed which are not enough to take prompt action during fire, save properties, and ultimately save lives. Hence, the need to develop an automatic wireless-based fire monitoring, detection and alarm system which is accurate, scalable and energy effi...
ABSTRACT The development in science and technology has vital contribution towards improving the country's economy. One of the sectors that contribute to the country's economy is agriculture which needs the improvement of science and technology from time to time such as in its fertigation system. The manual applications of fertilizer that are commonly used are very stressful and consume enormous time especially when cultivating a large area of land and also do not ensure efficient management ...
ABSTRACT The human eye is a vital organ of vision, which gives us the sense of sight, and is of utmost importance in all day to day activities. However, there are many diseases that affect the human eye and can lead to blindness. The major causes of blindness include glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other corneal and retinal infections. However, most of these conditions can be prevented with an early diagnosis. There are several techniques of diagnosis in digital health which can be used f...
ABSTRACT Tracking of vehicles, manage on-site car parking spaces, and warehouse traffic are problem that need real-time solution and can be solve by using character recognition in vehicle plate which can be obtain by using different classifier e.g. artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, Neural-fuzzy hybridization, and generic algorithm, template matching which can solve regression and binary classification problems. This project aims is to develop a system that will detect and recognize pla...
Traditional networking architectures have many significant limitations that must be overcome to meet modern IT requirements. To overcome these limitations; Software Defined Networking (SDN) is taking place as the new networking approach. One of the major issues of traditional networks is that they use static switches that cause poor utilization of the network resources. Another issue is the packet loss and delay in case of switch breakdown. This research proposes an implementation of a ...
Abstract Car theft has become prominent all over Ghana in recent years. Despite its growing prominence throughout the country, measures to promptly recover stolen vehicles have often proved tedious and futile. To tackle this problem, this project aims to develop a remote control system and a model of a GPS tracking system which would together help vehicle owners swiftly recover their vehicles should the need arise. This was achieved by developing a mobile application to serve as an interface...
Abstract Vehicles provide an efficient way of transportation across the cities of Greater Accra in Ghana. Technology has impacted the transportation sector through variety of modes such as applications for routing. An example of this is the google maps mobile application. However, due to bad road networks and a time sequenced traffic control system in Ghana, traffic congestion is a major problem during peak times of the day. In cases of emergencies where a route needs to be created for emerg...
Abstract The public transport industry is an essential part of people’s lives. However, the problem associated with the local public transport industry is, travellers usually get frustrated when waiting for a bus to arrive at a bus stop due to uncertainty on when the bus may arrive or if it may arrive at all. This leads to anxiety on the part of the traveller as well as time wastage, especially if this was not planned for in the trip. To solve this, historically GPS receivers are used in co...
Abstract Streetlights are public goods that beautify cities, ensure safety for road users and security for city neighborhoods. A delay in streetlight maintenance jeopardizes the safety and security of many. Also, when streetlights stay on throughout the day, it wastes power and energy and increases cost. This project presents the design of a low-cost streetlight monitoring system based on LoRa technology. In the design, a Dragino LoraWAN 868MHz (LoRa/GSM) gateway module was used alongside one...
Abstract The issue of vehicle accidents occurring on the roads on a daily basis, which only seems to be increased by the minute is what this paper researches and seeks to tackle. With the simple technology that has been made available globally, a cost-effective system can be developed to fight overspeeding, reduce road accidents and save lives. As a result, in this project, an Automatic Number Plate Recognition program and a web service for speed detection were implemented. This was done with...
Abstract The project proposed a method of reading individual energy consumption by tenants living in a compound house but share a single meter. The smart energy monitor was designed using ATmega8, SIM800l, PZEM004T, I2C LCD ,SCT-013-000 current sensor. The smart energy monitor solves the problem of bill sharing in compound house that share one meter. The printed circuit board was design ed using Eagle and the program for the system was programmed in the Arduino IDE in c language in Arduino sy...
Abstract Accessing remote health care from public hospitals in Ghana has become more difficult and expensive recently due to the increasing number of patients that surpass the low number of doctors in the country. Many people have lost their lives waiting in long vital checking lines just to take their vitals in some hospitals. However, with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT), this report provides a design of a low-cost remote health monitoring system for patients with chronic diseases ...
ABSTRACT This paper explores the current flaws of the undergraduate syllabi treating Industrial Automation and Control. It elaborates on the disparities between the current syllabi and what is used in Industry; particularly the current trend of Industrial Automation. It looks at the effect of not meeting this trend in Industry and thus offers a solution in the form of another curriculum, which incorporates concepts of Industrial Automation 4.0 which are necessary for the workplace. It uses th...
Abstract In Ghana and other parts of Africa, most traffic management systems are implemented by the use of a timer at each phase. This method of traffic management is inefficient because equal length of green light is assigned to each lane at the intersection; resulting in long wait times for vehicles behind a traffic light with the red signal on, especially when other lanes are vacant. This project addresses problems such as the one stated in the previous sentence through designs and impleme...
