ABSTRACT Due to the increase in the number of vehicles caused by rapid population growth in urban areas, the demand on parking infrastructure for the general has increased significantly (Polycarpou & protopapadakis, 2013). As (Polycarpou & protopapadakis, 2013)further points out, finding a free-parking space in urban areas like hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, event centers especially during peak hours is more or less impossible, in many cases. Drivers have to drive round looking for free ...
Microcontroller Based Pump And Level Indicator
ABSTRACT There have been several cases of unwanted entries into the laboratories and offices within the school environment, and in a quest to reduce these occurrences, this project "a micro-controller based door access control system using Radio Frequency Identification" was proposed to control access to restricted areas within the school. Access control is a process by which users are granted access and certain privileges to systems, resources or information. Radio frequency identification ...
ABSTRACT This project presents a Microcontroller-based temperature and humidity measuring and control system which can be implemented in a poultry farm. The control of temperature and humidity have, overtime, become a major part of control systems operated in environments where these quantities are crucial entities. In this project, DHTI I temperature-humidity sensor is used for the sensing of the temperature and humidity of the poultry house, and it is then controlled using a microcontrolle...
Abstract In areas in which there is little or no communication infrastructure or the existing infrastructure is expensive or inconvenient to use, wireless mobile users may still be able to communicate through the formation of an ad hoc network. This research investigates the overall performance of the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) under IPv6 environment. Using VoIP over MANETs takes advantag...
ABSTRACT This project is a farm operation monitoring system using a microcontroller device that gets the status of the farm by using the following factors: soil moisture, temperature, light and humidity and send the status of the farm to the user using a SMS alert notification system all at a given time. In the field section, the Farm monitoring system was built around three sensor modules, and will be programmed using to read in data from a monitoring device that will be attached to the sen...
ABSTRACT In today's world, speech recognition has become very popular and important, speech plays a vital role in human to system and machine communication, speech signal is transformed from analog to digital wave form, which can be understood by the system or machine. , , The development of a speech recognition system for toilet flushing using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) technique, has become a necessity as the physically challenged ones (handicap), individuals suffering from ...
ABSTRACT Language is the basic medium of communication and it is ultimately important because it is the primary means through which humans have the ability to communicate and interact with one another. Translation has been made very important so as to bridge the gap of information inequality. A lot of countries and organizations rely on human translators to disseminate information but human translators are limited in terms of speed, insecurity and high cost, therefore the demand for faster a...
ABSTRACT The design of switched local area networks in practice has largely been based on heuristics and experience; in fact, in many situations, no network design is carried out, but only network installation (network cabling and nodes/equipment placements). This has resulted in local area networks that are sluggish, and that fail to satisfy the users that are connected to such networks in terms of speed of uploading and downloading of information, when, a user’s computer is in a communica...
ABSTRACT In the last decade, there was rapid growing of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for research and commercial uses. Low-cost/low-power WSNs techniques are utilised in various applications such as smart-home, industrial control, health care, agricultural fields, environmental purposes, biomedical systems, and scientific applications. The aim of this research is to find the suitable number of paths and hops in each path to be used in transmit power control protocols for multi-path unifor...
ABSTRACT Reliance on mobile connectivity has led to demands for wireless spectrum capacity to grow on a daily basis resulting to congested networks. Ensuring acceptable levels of Quality of Service (QoS) for users in wireless communication systems, through continuous wireless network analysis using simulation tools based on radio propagation models has become increasingly prominent. To provide automated analytical model building, the use of machine learning methods has been considered to pre...
Abstract Biomass waste to energy conversion systems were traditionally installed on rural farms to manage manure disposal and mitigate odour. These systems provide heating and electricity and are increasingly viewed as sources of revenue. Poorly operated or sized systems will not realise revenue. For farms that would like to install such systems, there is no tool available that optimises the systems prior to determination of their commercial viability. As such, there is a need to optimise ...
ABSTRACT This thesis presents a rotational energy harvester using brushless direct current (BLDC) generator to harvest ambient energy for quadcopter in order to prolong it flight duration. Quadcopters also known as drones are developed with the intention of operating in conditions where the presence of an on-board human pilot is either too risky or unnecessary, as such they are broadly referred to as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). For a drone its endurance is essential in order to achieve op...
ABSTRACT In this work, an expert system for energy management in community based microgrid was developed. This was necessitated in a bid to address the inadequate power supply predominant in sub-Saharan African countries, while also addressing the problem of energy wastage that comes from individuals supplying their own energy demands. To achieve this, an architecture for a microgrid network was developed by adopting existing standards in the geographical region of interest. An energy...
