Abstract

This study presents a novel approach to the automated detection of road surface defects using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and advanced image processing. The research background highlights the critical need for efficient and safe road infrastructure maintenance. Traditional methods, which rely on manual visual inspections, are often time-consuming, expensive, and expose inspectors to traffic risks. The primary objective is to design and validate an automated system for identifying and classifying various road surface defects, such as potholes, cracks, and rutting. The system aims to leverage aerial imagery captured by UAVs and process it with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The research seeks to demonstrate a solution that is faster, more accurate, and safer than manual inspection methods, paving the way for proactive road maintenance. The research methodology involves three key stages: data acquisition, model development, and validation. High-resolution images of various road defects are captured using a UAV. These images are then used to train a custom-designed CNN model. The model is trained to recognize and classify different types of defects with high precision. The results indicate that the combination of UAVs and CNNs is a robust and effective solution for road monitoring. The conclusion is that this automated system provides a scalable, safe, and highly accurate method for road surface defect detection.

Abstract

The increasing presence of persistent pharmaceutical contaminants in water bodies poses a significant threat to environmental and human health, necessitating effective remediation technologies. This study aimed to develop and evaluate zinc oxide/copper oxide (ZnO/CuO) composite thin films as an efficient photocatalyst for degrading pharmaceutical waste under visible light. The ZnO/CuO thin films were synthesized via a sol-gel spin-coating method, and their photocatalytic activity was assessed using diclofenac as a model pollutant. The results demonstrated that the ZnO/CuO heterostructure exhibited enhanced visible light absorption and superior photocatalytic performance compared to pure ZnO. The composite films achieved over 90% degradation of diclofenac within 120 minutes, with the process following pseudo-first-order kinetics. The enhanced efficiency is attributed to effective charge separation at the ZnO/CuO interface. This research confirms that ZnO/CuO thin films are promising, reusable photocatalysts for the sustainable treatment of pharmaceutical-contaminated water.

Abstract

The limitations of conventional von Neumann computing architectures in handling complex, data-intensive tasks have spurred significant interest in brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. A critical challenge in this field is the development of hardware that can efficiently emulate the synaptic plasticity of biological neurons. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and integration of ferroelectric thin films, specifically hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO), as a promising material platform for creating artificial synaptic devices. The primary objective was to fabricate high-quality HZO thin films and demonstrate their capacity to mimic key synaptic functions. HZO films were synthesized using pulsed laser deposition, followed by comprehensive characterization of their structural, ferroelectric, and electrical properties using XRD, PFM, and I-V measurements. The optimized films were then integrated into two-terminal memristive device structures. The resulting devices successfully exhibited essential synaptic behaviors, including potentiation, depression, and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), with low energy consumption per synaptic event. The gradual and controllable modulation of ferroelectric domain switching was identified as the core mechanism enabling this analog-like resistance modulation.

Abstract

materials for photonic devices that can conform to non-planar surfaces. Quantum dots (QDs) are ideal candidates due to their size-tunable emission and high quantum yields, but their integration into durable, flexible platforms remains a key challenge. This study aimed to develop and characterize highly luminescent and mechanically flexible quantum dot-embedded polymer films as a robust platform for next-generation photonic applications. We fabricated composite films by embedding cadmium selenide/zinc sulfide (CdSe/ZnS) core-shell QDs into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer matrix via solution casting. The structural, optical, and mechanical properties were systematically investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and cyclic bending tests. The results showed that TEM analysis confirmed a uniform dispersion of QDs within the PDMS matrix without aggregation. The composite films exhibited intense, stable photoluminescence, retaining the characteristic sharp emission of the colloidal QDs. Crucially, the films demonstrated exceptional mechanical flexibility, maintaining over 95% of their initial PL intensity after 1,000 bending cycles to a 5 mm radius. The optical properties remained stable under various strain conditions, proving the effective protection afforded by the polymer matrix. This work successfully demonstrates a scalable method for producing high-quality, flexible photonic materials.

Abstract

Brake fade due to excessive heat remains a leading cause of vehicular accidents, particularly among heavy-duty and public transportation vehicles. This issue is exacerbated by the limitations of conventional brake monitoring systems that lack real-time response capabilities. To address this challenge, this study develops a Smart Brake Thermal Management system based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology, designed to detect and deliver multi-modal alerts in response to potential brake overheating. The system integrates precision thermocouple sensors, an ESP32 microcontroller, an OLED display, and cloud-based notifications via Telegram. Using a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the system was validated through six controlled road tests under standardized conditions. Results indicate high temperature measurement accuracy at 98.07% and 98.62% for dual sensor configurations, with system response times of less than two seconds. The warning mechanism effectively delivered synchronized notifications via visual indicators, audible alerts, and instant messaging. This system demonstrated a strong ability to identify the risk of brake fade before critical failure occurred, enhancing vehicular safety significantly. Its modular design and cost-effective implementation also make it suitable for large-scale retrofitting in existing vehicle fleets. The primary contributions of this research include the integration of multi-modal warning systems, real-time thermal monitoring through cloud connectivity, and a predictive approach to brake temperature management that improves proactive safety interventions.

Abstract

: In the field of freight transportation, changes to vehicle structures, particularly in the chassis length dimension, are commonly carried out to increase load-carrying capacity. One form of such change involves extending the frame length and adjusting the wheelbase in commercial vehicles with a 1.2 axle configuration. Although this approach can increase the volume of cargo that can be transported, alterations in structural dimensions have the potential to affect the load distribution contour on the vehicle frame. An uneven load distribution may lead to increased stress in certain areas, greater deformation, and a reduction in the structural safety level, which can ultimately affect the reliability and operational safety of the vehicle. This study aims to examine the effect of chassis length variations on the characteristics of the load distribution contour in freight transport vehicles with a 1.2 axle configuration. The analysis focuses on evaluating changes in stress, deformation, and the safety factor of the frame structure resulting from variations in chassis length and wheelbase adjustments. The approach used is a numerical simulation based on the Finite Element Method, utilizing software to model and evaluate the structural response of the chassis frame under loading conditions. The simulation results show that an extension of the chassis length, accompanied by changes in wheelbase position, leads to higher displacement and stress distribution in the chassis frame. The extension of the chassis side frame structure leads to an increase in stress values, which even exceed the material’s yield strength, with a maximum value reaching approximately 3709 MPa. In addition, the displacement reaches up to 81 mm, indicating increased frame deflection. Therefore, any changes in chassis dimensions must be designed by carefully considering load distribution and overall structural strength in order to maintain the reliability and safety of freight vehicles.

Abstract

Purpose – Road safety on high-traffic inter-city corridors in Indonesia remains a pressing concern, as drivers receive no real-time hazard notification when approaching zones with statistically elevated crash history. This study develops and evaluates an ESP32-based early warning system that couples GPS-derived positioning with the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN) method to issue graduated audio-visual alerts at road blackspots along the Palur–Semarang bus corridor. Design –  EAN quantifies accident severity by weighting fatalities (12), serious injuries (3), minor injuries (1), and property-damage incidents (0.5); segments exceeding the Upper Control Limit (UCL = 170,52) are designated blackspots, with coordinates stored in onboard flash memory. A SIM800L GPRS module transmits positioning data to a web-based fleet monitoring dashboard. Findings – Field evaluation across 10 GPS sampling points yielded mean errors of 0.00033% for latitude (3.7 m) and 0.00005% for longitude (5.0 m), with maximum deviations of 8.9 m and 17.8 m—both within the 800 m geofencing radius. All 10 from 64 validated corridor zones returned EAN values of 199,5–668,5, each exceeding the UCL, with web-platform outputs matching manual calculations exactly. Eight integrated test scenarios confirmed three-tier audio-visual alert delivery at 800 m, 400 m, and 100 m thresholds with zero missed triggers and zero spurious activations. Research implications – These findings provide preliminary evidence for the technical feasibility of EAN-based blackspot intelligence as a driver vigilance aid; however, full-route longitudinal testing across diverse vehicles and network conditions is required before generalised deployment can be recommended. Originality – This study integrates EAN-based crash severity analysis with real-time GPS tracking in an ESP32 system to deliver tiered early warnings for road blackspots.
