From several investigations, it has been shown that most of the traffic accidents were due to drowsy driving. In order to address this issue, many related works have been conducted. One study was able to capture the driver’s facial expression and estimate their drowsiness. Instead of measuring the driver’s physiological condition, the results of such measurements were also used to predict their drowsiness level in this study. We investigated the relationship between the drowsiness and physiological condition by employing an eye gaze signal utilizing an eye gaze tracker and the Japanese version of the Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS-J) within the driving simulator environment. The results showed that the gazing time has a significant statistical difference in relation to the drowsiness level: alert (1−5), weak drowsiness (6−7), and strong drowsiness (8−9), with P<0.001. Therefore, we suggested the potential of using the eye gaze to assess the drowsiness under a driving condition.

10.12928/telkomnika.v15i1.3120
M. Hatta; Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka Jopri , A. Rahim; Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka Abdullah , Mustafa; Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka Manap , M. Rahimi; Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka Yusoff , Tole; Universitas Ahmad Dahlan Sutikno
This paper introduces a fast method to localize the multiple harmonic sources (MHS) for rectifier based loads in power distribution system by utilizing periodogram technique with a single-point measurement approach at the point of common coupling (PCC). The periodogram is a fast and accurate technique for analyzing and distinguishing MHS location in power system. Matlab simulation is carried out several unique cases on IEEE test feeder cases due to validate the proposed method. The identification of MHS location is based on the significant relationship of spectral impedance which are fundamental impedance (Z1) and harmonic impedance (Zh) that's extracted from an impedance power spectrum. It is verified that the proposed method is fast, accurate, and cost efficient in localizing MHS. In addition, this method also contributes 100% correct identification of MHS location.

Irrational crowds tend to adapt herd mentality, having group behaviour and high suggestion through interaction. It is important to see how an irrational crowd can be controlled to prevent undesirable crowd attitude. This paper reviews existing models and the controllers to provide a comprehensive study for crowd control. It focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the control of psychological crowd, modelled using LeBon’s theory; which defines the crowd behaviour in terms of crowd attitude. The crowd attitude is defined in terms of suggestibility and prestige and the crowd interaction is defined in terms of the interaction of prestige and suggestibility, which is naturally unstable. A controller is required to achieve stability. In this paper several control approaches are described and the best control approach is highlighted. The results conclude, the best control approach is using multiple control agents, since the control effort is reduced and the stabilizing time is improved.

Social Network Analysis (SNA) has become a common tool to conduct social and business research. In marketing SNA is used to measure word of mouth of a marketing campaign. For an example, a good marketing campaign should create intensive conversation between users in social media. In this paper we use SNA metrics to find out if we can predict brand awareness. We crawl conversation data from Twitter to form seven graph of seven brand in Indonesia. We use multiple regression method, an extension of linear regression, to analyse network properties to get insight on how network structure affect brand awareness of a product. Even though this research is still in early stage, but we manage to discover that a good network structure in knowledge dissemination case (such as word of mouth) eventually differ with the one in brand awareness.

This paper presents a new approach of Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS) utilizing Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method with Overset Grid Generation (OGG) method to solve the inverse scattering problems for electromagnetic (EM) waves. The proposed FDTD method is combined with OGG method to reduce the geometrically complex problem to a simple set of grids. The grids can be modified easily without the need to regenerate the grid system, thus, it provide an efficient approach to integrate with the FBTS technique. Here, the characteristics of the EM waves are analyzed. For the research mentioned in this paper, the ‘measured’ signals are syntactic data generated by FDTD simulations. While the ‘simulated’ signals are the calculated data. The accuracy of the proposed approach is validated. Good agreements are obtained between simulation data and measured data. The proposed approach has the potential to provide useful quantitative information of the unknown object particularly for shape reconstruction, object detection and others.

Speech recognition can be defined as the process of converting voice signals into the ranks of the word, by applying a specific algorithm that is implemented in a computer program. The research of speech recognition in Indonesia is relatively limited. This paper has studied methods of feature extraction which is the best among the Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) for speech recognition in Indonesian language. This is important because the method can produce a high accuracy for a particular language does not necessarily produce the same accuracy for other languages, considering every language has different characteristics. Thus this research hopefully can help further accelerate the use of automatic speech recognition for Indonesian language. There are two main processes in speech recognition, feature extraction and recognition. The method used for comparison feature extraction in this study is the LPC and MFCC, while the method of recognition using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The test results showed that the LPC method is better than MFCC in Indonesian language speech recognition.

Fang; Anhui University Jiang , Yanjun; Anhui University Hu
Data gathering is an attractive operation for obtaining information in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). But one of important challenges is to minimize energy consumption of networks. In this paper, an integration of distributed compressive sensing (CS) and virtual multi-input multi-output (vMIMO) in WSNs is proposed to significantly decrease the data gathering cost. The scheme first constructs a distributed data compression model based on low density parity check-like (LDPC-like) codes. Then a cluster-based dynamic virtual MIMO transmission protocol is proposed. The number of clusters, number of cooperative nodes and the constellation size are determined by a new established optimization model under the restrictions of compression model. Finally, simulation results show that the scheme can reduce the data gathering cost and prolong the sensor network’s lifetime in a reliable guarantee of sensory data recovery quality.
