Radar fall detection using principal component analysis
(
SPIE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Falls are a major cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in people aged 65 years and older. Radar has the potential to become one of the leading technologies for fall detection, thereby enabling the elderly to live independently. ...
Sewer Inspection Prioritization Using a Defect-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to successfully implement an asset management program, an accurate and reliable deterioration model for assets should be available. Deterioration models are considered as the basis for predicting and prioritizing ...
The effect of end bearings on the dynamic behavior of Floating-Slab tracks with discrete Slab Units
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Floating-slab tracks are known as one of the most effective means for reducing ground-borne vibration from railways. For such tracks, the rails are sitting on the top of a slab which is supported via resilient elements ...
Wireless active noise control results
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Active Noise Control (ANC) is used in controlling low frequency noise where passive control is ineffective. Most (ANC) systems use physical cables to connect various parts of the system for operation. This can be bulky and ...
Fatigue Behaviour of Lightly Stabilised Granular Materials from Flexural and Indirect Diametral Tensile Testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The fatigue characteristic of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading is an important consideration for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue ...
