Abstract

The main limitations of electric vehicles are the limited scope of the battery and their relatively long charging times. This may cause discomfort to drivers of electric vehicles due to a long waiting period at the service of the charging station, during their trips. In this paper, we suggest a model system based on argorithms, allowing the management of charging plans of electric vehicles to travel on the road to their destination in order to minimize the duration of the drivers' journey. The proposed system decision to select the charging station, during advance reservation of electric vehicles, take into account the time of arrival of electric vehicles at charging stations, the expected charging time at charging stations, the local status of the charging stations in real time, and the amount of energy sufficient for the electric vehicle to arrive at the selected charging station. Furthermore, the system periodically updates the electric vehicule reservations to adjust their recharge plans, when they reach their selected earlier station compared to other vehicules requesting new reservations, or they may not arrive as they were forecast, due to traffic jams on the road or certain reluctance on the part of the driver.

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as one of the principal pillars of smart transportation to relieve the airborne pollution induced by fossil CO2 emissions. However, the battery limit, especially where the journey is with a long-distance road remains the most formidable obstacle to the large-scale use of EVs. To overcome the issue of prolonged waiting charging time due to the large number of EVs may have a charging plan at the same charging station (CS) along the highway, we propose a communication system to manage the EVs charging demands. The architecture system contains a smart scheduling algorithm to minimize trip time including waiting time, previous reservations and energyare needed to reach the destination. Moreover, an automatic mechanism for updating reservation is integrated to adjust the EVs charging plans. The results of the evaluation under the Moroccan highway scenario connecting Rabat and Agadir show the effectiveness of our proposal system.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a multimodal biometric recognition system that combines fingerprint, fingervein and face images based on cascade advanced and decision level fusion. First, in fingerprint recognition system, the images are enhanced using gabor filter, binarized and passed to thinning method. Then, the minutiae points are extracted to identify that an individual is genuine or impostor. In fingervein recognition system, image processing is required using Linear Regression Line, Canny and local histogram equalization technique to improve better the quality of images. Next, the features are obtained using Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG). Moreover, the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) are applied to detect and extract the features of the face images, respectively. In addition, we proposed three different modes in our work. At the first, the person is identified when the recognition system of one single biometric modality is matched. At the second, the fusion is achieved at cascade decision level method based on AND rule when the recognition system of both biometric traits is validated. At the last mode, the fusion is accomplished at decision level method based on AND rule using three types of biometric. The simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed fusion algorithm increases the accuracy to 99,43% than the other system based on unimodal or bimodal characteristics.
