Development of High Security System for Cars
Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Engineering - Safety Engineering, language: English, abstract: In summary, the problem of face detection or recognition is alone not sufficient for the security of the cars, and hence eye detection of the same person is required for the system to be highly secured to give access for the car for owner or driver and deny for the intruder. A Review of journal and conference papers on face detection, recognition, eye detection, driver fatigue detection are done to summarise the techniques or methods employed, along with the outcomes and drawbacks or disadvantages. As an intruder may not manifest all symptoms of fatigue using a single detection system, a hybrid system is required to integrate the result of different systems and detect the intruder or to recognise the owner or driver with higher accuracy. When the result from both systems are positive, the hybrid system will determine that the car owner or driver is true with a high accuracy.
Safety in the Digital Age
This open access book gathers authors from a wide range of social-scientific and engineering disciplines to review challenges from their respective fields that arise from the processes of social and technological transformation taking place worldwide. The result is a much-needed collection of knowledge about the integration of social, organizational and technical challenges that need to be tackled to uphold safety in the digital age.The contributors whose work features in this book help their readers to navigate the massive increase in the capability to generate and use data in developing algorithms intended for automation of work, machine learning and next-generation artificial intelligence and the blockchain technology already in such extensive use in real-world organizations.This book deals with such issues as: - How can high-risk and safety-critical systems be affected by these developments, in terms of their activities, their organization, management and regulation?- What are the sociotechnical challenges of the proliferation of big data, algorithmic influence and cyber-security challenges in health care, transport, energy production/distribution and production of goods?Understanding the ways these systems operate in the rapidly changing digital context has become a core issue for academic researchers and other experts in safety science, security and critical-infrastructure protection. The research presented here offers a lens through which the reader can grasp the way such systems evolve and the implications for safety-an increasingly multidisciplinary challenge that this book does not shrink from addressing.
