Turning a corner at night, a couple of bright dots flash in front of you, standing still as your car quickly approaches them. Will you be fast enough to stop the vehicle before hitting the deer in the middle of the road? Ungulates are the large mammals mostly involved in car accidents in Europe and North America. If you are used to drive in the countryside or in roads close to forests, hills, mountains, or large uninhabited regions, this scenario probably sounds familiar to you. Deer and large mammals crossing the road represent a life-threatening and  common problem in many countries wor ..read more

How many more coffees can our machine do before requiring maintenance? Well, that’s a fundamental question for most of the ELEDIA members. The obvious answer to this may be “we’ll know when it’s broken”. But if the machinery has a fundamental importance in the production line, will an unexpected downtime for maintenance be acceptable? Within the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) terminology, the previously outlined approach (substitution/maintenance of a machinery after the failure has taken place) would be referred to as a corrective maintenance, and it is known to be a suitable strateg ..read more

In the 2017 Report “Water for Sustainable Food and Agriculture“, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has remarked that, on average, agriculture accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. Only 0.003% of the World water are “fresh water resources”, and an even smaller fraction is actually accessible and can be used for drinking, hygiene, agriculture and industry. Water is essential for every form of life, for all aspects of socio-economic development, and for the maintenance of healthy ecosystems UN Food and Agriculture Organization, 2017 As the food requirements of the growi ..read more

You’re waking up at night, going to the kitchen for a glass of water, and suddenly you slip and fall to the ground. You don’t have a phone with you, and there’s no camera or movement sensor around. Can your WIFI access point detect you and call the emergency number? The above scenario is just one of the many cases in which passive non-cooperative localization and behavioural analysis is of fundamental importance. Such a class of strategies is devoted to address the fundamental challenge of detecting, identifying, tracking, and analyzing the behavior (e.g., posture) of a person not wearing any ..read more
