For this costumer placed in Belfast, UK, simulation has been used to investigate the manufacturing process, to evaluate bottlenecks and to prepare the background for simulation based, in-line scheduling. The actual problem at the shop floor deals with synchronizing work flows and optimizing production in conjunction with customer orders . Over 1700 different kinds of orders can be manufactured ...

The optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. It is an important step of forest road network planning. The goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in Kheiroudkenar forest of Nowshahr in Northern Iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. Continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of TAF and Timbe...

A text document typically consists of a collection of regular structures such as words, lines, and paragraphs, a slight movement of which seems less perceptible than, say, dithering of the document image. In this paper we exploit this property to watermark formatted text documents by shifting slightly certain lines and words in order to discourage illicit distribution. We analyze two methods fo...

This paper presents a Road Detection and Tracking algorithm for Lane Departure Warning Systems. An inverse perspective transformation gives a bird-eye view of the road, where longitudinal road markings are detected by exploration of horizontal gradient, looking for a road marking model. Next, a parabolic lane model is fitted to road markings and tracked through a particle filter. The right and ...

In order to reduce a road monitoring cost, we propose a system to monitor extensively road condition by cyclists with a smartphone. In this paper, we propose two methods towards road monitoring. First is to classify road signals to four road conditions. Second is to extract road signal from a smartphone’s accelerometer in three positions: pants’ side pocket, chest pocket and a bag in a front ba...

Accurate localization is a critically important issue for autonomous vehicles as it closely related to the safety and efficiency of driving. However, current technologies vehicle face many challenges. To provide accurate robust services vehicles, we propose novel solution by employing newly designed pavement marking. This marking operates on color contrast, temperature binary code with some spe...

In this study, several exhaust ventilation systems were designed and implemented in a paint manufacturing factory, using ACGIH recommendations. The personal exposure of workers to solvents used in the factory was evaluated to examine the role of implemented standard ventilation system. For this purpose, Toluene and Xylene concentration were monitored before and after the application of ventilat...

In today’s world automobile industries are coming out with so many new features in cars. Road infrastructures are also getting much better in all over the world. Due to this, the number of road accidents has increased and more number of people are dying in it. Researchers have tried to solve this problem by using virtual driver feature in the car. A computer vision based road detection and navi...

In recent years, there have been significant advances in deep learning and road marking recognition due to machine artificial intelligence. Despite progress, it often relies heavily on unrepresentative datasets limited situations. Drivers advanced driver assistance systems rely markings help them better understand their environment the street. Road are signs texts painted surface, including dir...

Three cases of xylene poisoning occurred after prolonged inhalation of paint fumes. Analysis showed that xylene comprised more than 90% of the solvent in the paint, the total solvent comprising 34% of the paint by weight. One patient was dead on admission, while the other two recovered after at least 15 hours' loss of consciousness. Both patients had transient liver cell damage, and one tempora...
