Experience from the DARPA Urban Challenge provides details of the types of systems, software and processes that were used to develop the complex unmanned vehicles that participated in the DARPA Urban Challenge. The vehicle ...

Behaviour of soils in the vadose zone is closely linked to water balance between ground and atmosphere. It seems that transpiration is the most uncertain and difficult to evaluate of all the terms in the soil water balance. ...

Assessments of vegetation condition, cover, change, and processes are major components of global change research programs, and are topics of considerable societal relevance. Spectral vegetation indices are among the most ...

An effective flood warning system in urban areas must provide the warnign with sufficient lead time for an appropriate response by the relevant emergency services and the affected community. The requirement poses a critical ...

The key air interface technology used in WiMAX is OFDM. OFDM is an efficient form of multi-carrier modulation schemes, which is used in most of the modern communication technologies, such as 3G-LTE, DSL, 4G Cellular Systems ...

Sensor networks need to be planned but unfortunately most reported implementations are ad hoc in nature and hence lack the required robust performance. A great deal of current research on wireless sensor networks is dominated ...
