One of most important things now is to create smart street and smart lighting system to save enormous electrical energy. Especially Iraq is suffering shortage of electrical energy generation up to 45%. Because of this, Iraq needs to save a lot of electrical energy in the entire country so as to meet the electrical demand and reduce the large amount of CO2 emission. However, this work presents a very unique and economic control lighting system (CLS) for main streets and sidewalks, which can control the lighting system to give sufficient illumination to the drivers and the pedestrians simultaneously. And at the same time, the CLS system can reduce a lot of electrical energy consumption and the CO2 emissions together. However, by using these smart systems with the exciting illumination source in the streets, the CLS can minimize the electrical energy consumed for the lighting at the main roads and the footpath by about 60% and can use the surplus energies to fill the shortage of electricity in the country. Also, this system will increase the lifetime of the lighting system which means further decrease in cost. Finally, this work presents new type of illumination source, high-intensity discharge (HID), which can reduce the electrical consumption much more by up to 90%, when using the CLS with HID.Citation

Automated retrieval and comparison of sheet metal partsYang, Yang; Hinduja, Srichand; Owudunni, Oladele O.; University of Manchester; University of Chester (Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-16)With the number of 3D CAD models increasing rapidly, retrieving models of similar parts has become an important activity as existing designs may contain vital information regarding design and manufacturing. This paper is targeted at retrieving and comparing sheet metal parts. In the method proposed herein, the general shape of a sheet metal part is represented by a simplified hierarchical tree wherein the nodes represent the planar walls of the part and feature-related information is attached to these nodes as textual attributes. A shape index is derived from this simplified tree and subsequently used to retrieve similar parts from the database. The retrieved parts are assessed for their similarity with the enquiry part using five criteria: the general shape of the part, bends and their direction, feature types, feature location and feature size. In addition to determining the degree of similarity, the main advantage of the proposed method is that the assessment provides useful feedback to design and manufacturing engineers based on these five criteria. A prototype system developed in C++ has been tested on a database containing a few hundred parts and the effectiveness of the proposed method in retrieving and comparing the parts is discussed.

Multi-metric Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Remote Learning in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Indicators and Guidance for Future Preparedness, 2021Behera, Amar Kumar; de Sousa, Ricardo Alves; Oleksik, Valentin; Dong, Jingyan; Fritzen, Daniel; University of Chester; University of Aveiro; Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu; North Carolina State University; SATC College, CriciumaThis data set is a follow on study from a study on remote learning conducted in 2020 during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. It contains data collected from 5 universities in 5 countries about the effectiveness of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, specifically tailored to mechanical and industrial engineering students. A survey was administered in August 2021 at these universities simultaneously, using Google Forms. The survey had 41 questions, including 24 questions on a 5-point Likert scale. The survey questions gathered data on their program of study, year of study, university of enrolment and mode of accessing their online learning content. The Likert scale questions on the survey gathered data on the effectiveness of digital delivery tools, student preferences for remote learning and the success of the digital delivery tools during the pandemic. All students enrolled in modules taught by the authors of this study were encouraged to fill the survey up. Additionally, remaining students in the departments associated with the authors were also encouraged to fill up the form through emails sent on mailing lists. The survey was also advertised on external websites such as survey circle and facebook. Crucial insights have been obtained after analysing this data set that link the student demographic profile (gender, program of study, year of study, university) to their preferences for remote learning and effectiveness of digital delivery tools. This data set can be used for further comparative studies and was useful to get a snapshot of the evolution of the student preferences and e-learning effectiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2021 by comparing with the dataset from 2020.
