Framework Developmant For Construction Safety Visialization, Kishor Shrestha

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

Throughout the history of the construction industry, many fatalities and injuries have occurred in construction sites. One of the major causes of accidents is unsafe site conditions: basically, this is due to inadequate supervision. To improve upon the traditional supervision approach, this study proposes a 'Framework Development for Construction Safety Visualization' approach. In addition to this, a computer vision Edge Detection Algorithm was developed and tested to convert construction site still images into edges of the objects in the images. The framework development of this study uses computer vision, robot vision, image compression, pattern recognition, internet transmission, network communication, and …

Comparative Study Of Various Data Collection Software Used For Seat-Belt Observation Surveys, Atul Sancheti, Puneet Lakhanpal, Sergio Contreras, Pushkin Kachroo, Masha Wilson

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

Every year, Click It or Ticket (CIOT) mobilization is held in U.S. which aims at increasing seat-belt usage awareness among the people. Data collection for assessing current seat-belt usage rates and campaign design for influencing mass audience are the two most important components of the mobilization. This paper presents a comparative study of various data collections software used for seat-belt observational surveys. The comparison is based on the speed and accuracy of the data collected from different software at the same locations and at the same time of the day.

Monte Carlo Simulations Of Electron Scattering Experiments, Alan Russian, Bruno Deharak, Faculty Advisor, Mark Liffiton, Faculty Advisor

John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference

This project aims to look at the impact made by certain approximations in electron scattering experiments—specifically whether accounting for these approximation errors is necessary. When using a moveable gun mount, the interaction volume can be determined using a line and cylinder approximation. Data is presented comparing this approximation to the actual volume computed using a Monte Carlo method. A uniform gas distribution is compared to a cosine-squared distribution gas distribution. Additionally, an energy spectrum of a uniform beam is compared to a Gaussian beam for various polarization angles, and a comparison is made between representing the beam as a cone …
