This study presents a shallow and robust road segmentation model. The computer-aided real-time applications, like driver assistance, require real-time and accurate processing. Current studies use Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) for road segmentation. However, DCNN requires high computational power and lots of labeled data to learn abstrac...

Electricity is a valuable resource. With the increase of population, this valuable resource is being used inefficiently. To overcome this problem, electricity providers use various techniques like introducing different pricing schemes. In peak hours, when the usage of electricity is high, the utility increases the per unit cost. Therefore, usage of...

Home energy management within the traditional grid is difficult, so Smart Grid (SG) is introduced by upgrading the traditional grid, i.e., adding the Information Technology (IT) and Sensors Network (SN) to traditional grids. SG manages the Demand of electricity and help in solving the electricity load management problem. Demand Side response has tw...

In this paper, we have evaluated the performance of Home Energy Management (HEM) using two meta-heuristic techniques: Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) and Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA). We have classified the appliances in two catagories: fixed and shiftable/elastic appliances. Time of Use (ToU) pricing scheme is used for the calculation of el...

Electricity is a controllable and convenient form of energy and it provides power to appliances. As the population of world is increasing, the electricity demand is also increasing which leads to energy crisis. This problem can be control by using Demand Side Management (DSM) and Energy Management Scheduler (EMS). In this paper, we design EMS for r...
