Different types of intelligent rollover system deployed by road agencies across North America are investigated. The importance of weight is addressed for maximum effectiveness of rollover warning messages for commercial vehicles in a potential rollover situation on sharp curves or exit ramps. The type of information that may be used to activate a rollover is discussed to analyze the number of correctly warned vehicles compared with the number of false warnings generated by the rollover warning system. A case study of the effectiveness of an intelligent rollover system is presented. On the basis of this case study, it was found that speed-based rollover warning systems generated anywhere from 44 percent to 49 percent more false rollover warnings for commercial vehicles than did rollover warning systems that employed weight information in the rollover decision criteria.

Subsea systems’ functional failure consequence classification (FFCC) and initial screening has been a stringent requirement for subsea systems operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Hence, it is of great importance to establish approach(es) for the subsea systems’ FFCC. The study performed in this manuscript focuses on adapting existing guidelines, which are available in NORSOK Z-008, to develop an approach for performing the FFCC for a subsea system. A case study has been carried out which is closely aligned with a real-time project to perform subsea manifold related FFCC. The approach has been developed with the help of existing internal documents, data, information, and the experiences of the subsea systems’ owner as well as requirements pertaining to regularity authorities’ related guidelines, other existing similar work and established standards. The manuscript also illustrates a framework of the work process and illustrative analysis results.

<p>In the proposed system, a strategy for the control of energy consumption by home appliances is provided. The statistics of previous energy production and consumption of a case study city are used in providing the strategy. In the design of the proposed system, home appliances are categorized into three levels of priority, even though it can be more than three. In this article the control of energy consumption is achieved using a real time energy consumption manager (ECM) based on stored data without the need for real time communication. The system which is proposed here is affordable and simple. Also, it does not require grid upgrade or power line communication through the grid. </p>
