Mobile Applications to Connect the InstaTemp to Smartphones   Arc Devices, a member of our I/UCRC CAKE, has developed InstaTemp, which is no-touch thermometer that uses infrared technology to measure body temperature quickly and precisely. InstaTemp and its clinical version…

Maria M. Larrondo Petrie, PI; Student: Rosana Melendez Renovation and expansion of transportation systems require minimization of disruption of service while incorporating best practices and cutting-edge technology to minimize energy consumption. The objective of this project is to analyze, model…

Oge Marques, PI; Borko Furht, Co-PI Drowsiness causes 7% of all road accidents and mat to blame 18% of fatal collisions. In this project we are developing a computer vision-based solution to the problem of detecting driver drowsiness based on…

Ankur Agarwal, PI; Bassem Alhalabi, Co-PI; and Borko Furht, Co-PI This project is to develop an important component for medical alert-monitoring systems, which today include GPS satellite tracking technology and location mapping in the event of emergency. The goal of…

Valentine A. Aalo, PI; Student: Constatntine Mukasa Motivated by the increasing demand for higher data rate, broader coverage, and lower infrastructure cost in wireless systems, a major effort is being made to study the use of relay stations in wireless…

Ionut Cardei, PI Rapid response teams have to deal with unpredictable RF conditions, sketchy spectrum availability, and system incompatibility. Collapsed buildings and damaged subway tunnels degrade signal quality inside. Power outages affecting cellular base stations are common after earthquakes and…

Xin Wang, PI Most of the practical network protocols were designed based on sound yet ad-hoc heuristics. They have performed reasonably well as the Internet scaled up by six orders of magnitude. With the Internet continuing to grow, current protocols…

Mihaela Cardei, PI The radio spectrum is a finite resource, which is now in great demand with the proliferation of new applications and services such as cellular phones, radio and television broadcast, Wi-Fi, sensor networks, broadband wireless Internet access, and…

Imad Mahgoub, PI; Student: Hamid Akbarian Unauthorized use of cellular communication can put people’s safety at risk as in illegal use of cell phones in prisons. Texting while driving It can also cause distractions, which may be fatal as in…

Imad Mahgoub, PI; Student: Monika Rathod Data dissemination in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) is a key research area with applications that range from safety to traffic flow information to weather reports and related information. Delivering data with maximum efficiency and…
