Abstract

Reading Quran for non-Arab is a challenge due to different mother tongues. learning Quran face-to-face is considered time-consuming. The correct pronunciation of Makhraj and Sifaat are the two things that are considered difficult. In this paper, Sifaat evaluation system was developed, focusing on Sifaat with opposites for teaching the pronunciation of the Quranic letters. A classifier-based approach has been designed for evaluating the Sifaat with opposites, using machine learning technique; the k-nearest neighbour (KNN), the ensemble random undersampling (RUSBoosted), and the support vector machine (SVM). Five separated classifiers were designed to classify the Quranic letters according to group of Sifaat with opposites, where letters that are classified to the wrong groups are considered mispronounced. The paper started with identifying the acoustic features to represent each group of Sifaat. Then, the classification method was identified to be used with each group of Sifaat, where best models were selected relying on various metrics; accuracy, recall, precision, and F-score. Cross-validation scheme was then used to protect against overfitting and estimate an unbiased generalization performance. Various acoustic features and classification models were investigated, however, only the outperformed models are reported in this paper. The results showed a good performance for the five classification models.

Abstract

Sitting in traffic congestion for hours in a posture that requires recurrent actions of manually pressing the pedal and braking excessively can result in fatigue, especially on the driver's leg and back. This fatigue can have long-term implications and adversely affect the driver's health. Thus, this paper aims to model and develop a control system that utilizes a linear actuator to replace the leg activities involved in pressing and releasing the brake pedal. This approach, combined with the implementation of a PID controller, offers a novel solution to control the vehicle speed by integration with the linear actuator that focus on low-speed driving condition. The design process begins with creating a 3D model using SolidWorks to visualize the movement of the linear actuator and Pedal subsystem. This model is then connected to Matlab-Simulink, where a PID controller is implemented and integrated into the electrical circuit to control the actuator's movement. Integration with the vehicle dynamic model enables a comprehensive analysis of the system's behavior on the vehicle dynamics. This research compares the trial and error method with the Matlab tuner for implementing the PID controller. The performance of the system will be evaluated based on the steady state error, overshoot, rise time, and settling time. The results demonstrate that the Matlab tuner outperforms trial and error method by achieving a faster response and significantly reducing steady state error during robustness testing. With the integration of the linear actuator, the system is capable of tracking the desired speed and has the potential to replace the leg activities involved in pressing and releasing the brake pedal. For future work, validating the proposed mechanism with a physical prototype of the linear actuator and pedal using hardware-in-the-loop techniques poses a challenge, as hardware constraints may vary with different environments.
