Artificial intelligence applications in fire safety of agricultural structures have practical economic and technological benefits on commercial agriculture. The FAO estimates that wildfires result at least USD 1 billion agriculture-related losses due to the destruction livestock pasture, buildings, premature death farm animals, general disruption activities. Even though artificial neural networ...

background: hospitals in iran are not prepared for disasters the aim of this study was to determine the effect of training functional and nonstructural hospital safety to nurses and their intervention on hospital preparedness in psychiatric razi hospital and day hospital in tehran based on hospital safety index (hsi). materials  and  methods:  this  semi-experimental  study  included  nurse  ma...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) employ multichannel to provide a variety of safety and non-safety (transport efficiency and infotainment) applications, based on the IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.4 protocols. Different types of applications require different levels Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. Recently, transport efficiency and infotainment applications (e.g., electronic map download and In...

Multi-channel IEEE WAVE 1609.4 protocol has been proposed to guarantee the co-existence of safety and non-safety applications over the same Vehicular Ad hoc NETwok (VANET) scenario. While the usage of multi-channel avoids the risk of collisions between applications allocated on different frequencies, its implementation on a single-radio transceiver poses some major concerns about the effective ...

Except for a couple of rigorous software certification schemes that are required for certain safety-critical software applications (e.g., RTCA DO178-B), there are no generally trusted software certification schemes. While there is no theoretical reason why these safety-critical standards could not be applied to all applications, there is a practical reason: cost. Estimates vary, but it is gener...

Verification of IEC61131-3 based safety applications is a challenge in the development process of industrial systems. In this paper, we formally describe the set of transformation rules we have defined for the automatic transformation of IEC61131-3 function block based safety applications to UPPAAL timed automata models. These models are used for the verification of the safety application. Both...

Wireless communication between vehicles enables both safety applications, such as accident avoidance, and nonsafety applications, such as traffic congestion alerts [1] with the intent of improving safety in driving conditions. Because the high costs of implementing limited test-bed environments constrain prototype testing, VANET researchers often turn instead to simulation toolsets from which a...

The need for safety in transportation systems has increased the popularity and applicability of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) in recent years. On-time reception and processing of alarms caused by possible accidents as well as the preventive actions have important roles in reducing human and financial losses in road accidents. In such cases, the performance of safety applications should be ...
