Rollover Warning

Different types of intelligent rollover system deployed by road agencies across North America are investigated. The importance of weight is addressed for maximum effectiveness of rollover warning messages for commercial vehicles in a potential rollover situation on sharp curves or exit ramps. The type of information that may be used to activate a rollover is discussed to analyze the number of correctly warned vehicles compared with the number of false warnings generated by the rollover warning system. A case study of the effectiveness of an intelligent rollover system is presented. On the basis of this case study, it was found that speed-based rollover warning systems generated anywhere from 44 percent to 49 percent more false rollover warnings for commercial vehicles than did rollover warning systems that employed weight information in the rollover decision criteria.

Sanitation and water are one of those problems which have been given top priority in the sustainable agenda. However, scanty resources, geographical condition, natural environment, tradition, institutional and financial constraints lead to several challenges of feasibility, affordability, availability,and acceptability. This study reveals the inequality in the access to improved toilet facilities based on wealth index and locality of households using National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data. These problems can be addressed by applying different types of social innovations in which novelty in product and process can play a crucial role. This paper critically examines the role of innovation which can play in expanding transition to sustainable development in the sanitation sector which needs some financial, organizational, and institutional agreement. The progress in sanitation sector is dependent on the consumer behavior. However, it still lacks a variety of quality-price ranges and its utility as the basic needs of dignified life.

Collision Warning Systems

In this paper we present research findings on collision warning systems and their influence on traffic safety, and present MEBWS – Motorcycle Emergency Braking Warning System, a patented innovation developed at the Faculty of Information Studies in Novo mesto. MEBWS analyses motorcycle movement in real-time using an accelerometer and GPS speed measurement and monitors the following vehicles using a LIDAR. In case a dangerous situation is detected, the MEBWS alerts vehicles behind the motorcycle with an autonomous flashing LED. Furthermore, we are developing a simulation model that will allow us to gauge the influence of MEBWS on traffic safety in large traffic systems and its contribution to the European Union’s goal “Vision Zero” – to reduce road deaths to almost zero by 2050.

Essential Components

In this research on disaster warning systems, the Philippines was selected to be a case study. The Philippines was hit by a particularly bad storm in 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan. Here we focused on warning system process management from an enterprise engineering perspective. In understanding warning systems, it is necessary to know the essence of overall processes. The objective of this qualitative study is to determine the system’s essential components by using the Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO). This involves both assigning responsibility levels and utilizing both traditional means such as broadcast vehicles with speakers and radios and newer means such as Internet channels to disseminate warning information. The findings provide a simple model explaining the disaster-related organization and communication structure. They also contribute a practical aspect in the form of suggestions to planners and decision makers that may assist them in preparing mitigation plans for projected natural disasters.

Hospitals are facing an unprecedented level of change—with pressure from the general public to provide high-quality care and retain top talent by preventing burnout. How can they provide better patient care without overwhelming clinicians with more connected devices, alarming systems, and analytics solutions? Some challenges do not just cause harm to patients but they have a major economic impact on the financial health of the hospital. One problem for many hospitals is the growing number of “code blue” calls that warn clinicians a patient is in cardiac arrest. In this case study, you will learn the impacts of introducing an early warning system and its enabling technologies on Hamilton Health Sciences and why the underlying technology helped to produce positive results.
