An integrated access control and lighting configuration system for smart buildings

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

An Indoor Positioning System Based on Wi-Fi for Energy Management in Smart Buildings

To offer indoor services to occupants in the context of smart buildings, it is necessary to consider information concerning to the identity and location of the occupants. This paper proposes an indoor positioning system (IPS) based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) method. The positioning of a mobile device (MD) using Wi-Fi technology involves online and offline phases. In this...

User-in-the-loop smart lighting control system

In commercial buildings, smart lighting control systems are applied to minimize the electrical energy consumption. These systems use occupancy and light sensor data to adapt artificial light in accordance with changing occupancy and daylight conditions. In these systems, the performance relies on a pre-calibration phase to achieve daylight adaptation of artificial light. Since the pre-calibrate...

Automatic Configuration for a Biometrics-Based Physical Access Control System

Selecting appropriate thresholds and fusion rules for a system involving multiple biometric verifiers requires knowledge of the match score statistics for each verifier. While this statistical information can often be measured from training data, that data may not be representative of the environment into which each verifier is deployed. To compensate for missing statistics, we present a techni...
