2025 A Lorawan-Based Smart Home Energy Management System Empowered by Artificial General Intelligence
abstract
This paper presents the design and development of an intelligent, long range wide area network (LoRaWAN)-based smart home energy management system that integrates real-time analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Utilizing a publicly available, appliance-level energy consumption dataset, the system simulates realistic household usage patterns across multiple devices. A MATLAB-based LoRaWAN transmission model, incorporating packet loss and signal attenuation, emulates low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) behavior under realistic wireless communication conditions. Key system functionalities include anomaly detection via statistical thresholding and moving averages, energy consumption forecasting through linear regression and decision tree models, i.e., fitrtree, idle device detection, and daily cost prediction in United Arab Emirates Dirhams (AED). The system demonstrates moderate predictive accuracy, with mean$R^{2}$values of approximately 0.55 per appliance. An interactive command-line interface and an artificial general intelligence (AGI)-inspired natural language chat module enhance usability, enabling non-technical users to query energy data and cost insights effectively. Visualization tools support real-time energy pattern recognition and future consumption forecasting, facilitating informed user decisions. Despite simulated packet loss and missing data, the system maintains robust performance through data interpolation and resilient model training. The proposed framework lays the foundation for scalable, intelligent home energy systems and offers pathways toward deeper learning integration, dynamic pricing models, and edge deployment for real-time autonomous energy management.

2025 Real-Time Low-Cost Automatic Collision Detection with Owner Notification for Parked Vehicles
abstract
This study introduces a fully automated collision detection and notification system specifically engineered to safeguard parked vehicles against accidental impacts in densely populated areas such as commercial parking lots and urban streets. The system employs an integrated network of front and rear cameras, proximity sensors, and vibration sensors to provide continuous environmental monitoring around a stationary vehicle. When a foreign object or vehicle encroaches within a predefined proximity, the system initiates real-time surveillance by activating on-board cameras. Simultaneously, visual alert mechanisms, such as high-intensity flashing lights, are triggered to attract the attention of nearby drivers and prevent potential collisions. In the event of physical contact, the system immediately begins continuous video recording, capturing high-resolution footage of the incident. This evidence is securely transmitted to the vehicle owner's mobile device via a dedicated application, delivering instant notification and remote access to the recorded material. The design emphasizes affordability and accessibility, ensuring that advanced vehicle protection is available to a broad user base. By combining proactive collision deterrence with post-incident documentation and real-time communication, the proposed system offers a comprehensive and practical solution to mitigate the risk and consequences of parked vehicle collisions. Experimental validation confirms the system's reliability, responsiveness, and effectiveness in real-world parking scenarios, demonstrating its value as a robust enhancement to vehicular safety infrastructure.

2025 AI-Enhanced IoT-Integrated Virtual Fencing: A Proof-of-Concept for Camel Monitoring and Collision Mitigation
abstract
The rapid expansion of highways in desert regions has resulted in an increase in camel-vehicle collisions, leading to substantial human, economic, and animal welfare impacts. Despite the success of virtual fencing in managing livestock such as cattle, goats, and sheep, its application for camels remains largely unexplored. This paper introduces an innovative global positioning system (GPS)-enabled virtual fencing prototype that leverages non-invasive auditory cues and real-time monitoring to control camel movements. The system integrates advanced geofencing algorithms, a random forest machine learning classifier trained on accelerometer data with an accuracy of 92% for activity recognition, and long range (LoRa) communication for reliable long-range data transmission. Field tests on camels demonstrate that auditory signals at 2000 Hz effectively deter the camels from crossing virtual boundaries after repeated interactions. The system maintains robust performance, achieving GPS positional accuracy of 8.08 meters and ensuring effective communication over distances up to 1.5 km. This study offers a significant contribution to the fields of wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT)-based animal management systems.

2021 Optimal Placement of Grid-Connected Solar Photovoltaic Systems Using Artificial Intelligence Methods
abstract
Solar energy is a sustainable, clean, and free energy source used to supply heat, electricity, and even fuel and chemical energy to residential, commercial, and industrial centers. The problems associated with fossil resources and the consequences of environmental and global climate change have created good opportunities for solar energy to compete with fossil fuels, especially in countries with high radiation potential. Scientific and technical weaknesses, variations in irradiance level due to climate and seasonal changes, radiation angles, geographical location, etc., have confined the solar energy-related applications. The optimal placement of the photovoltaic (PV) power stations providing maximum performance is critical to be addressed. This study intends to empower grid-connected solar PV systems by investigating various constraints and influencing factors related to the location of solar farms. We exploit selected machine learning algorithms such as k-means, k-medoids, fuzzy c-means (FCM) methods, as well as a new proposed algorithm based on an image processing approach to optimize the system by detecting the appropriate clusters and site locations. Finally, by performing several simulations, we compare the results and the efficiency of the algorithms. Our results further designate the significant superiority of the proposed techniques.
