Data preparation and visualization of heavy vehicular movement for traffic prediction by Chong, Ji Shen

“…This will enable city planners to identify which roadways are prone to congestions during which periods and how to divert which type of traffic via which route that best enable the least travelling time. This report aims to characterise movements of various types of vehicle from their raw GPS data to filter, pre-process, calculate and visualise the movement of those vehicles in such a manner that will aid in the prediction of their movements. …”

Inductance and resistance measurement method for vessel detection and coil powering in all-surface inductive heating systems composed of outer squircle coils by Kilic, Veli Tayfun, Unal, Emre, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…Results show that in an induction hob for various coil geometries it is possible to detect a vessel’s presence, to identify its material type and to specify its position on the hob surface by considering inductance and resistance of the coil measured on at least two different frequencies. The studied method is important in terms of enabling safe, efficient and user flexible heating in an all-surface inductive heating system by automatically detecting the vessel’s presence and powering on only the coils that are loaded by the vessel with predetermined current levels.…”
