Vehicular Cloud for Smart Driving Using Internet of Things.

The vehicular cloud can be made more reliable by having minimum number of vehicles and their accessibility of the vehicles in the given lane; in addition reliability can also be made using the function called movement of vehicles. The number of vehicles present in the area determines the task that can be accessed in the area and with the help of travelling time of the vehicles the validity of the lane can be determined. In this paper, a research is carried based on the stochastic investigation on the some of attributes of traffic with the help of cloud in street portion to accept the necessary attribute prototypes. In this paper two types of activity is done, first one is free flow movement of vehicle and second one is queuing- up activity. For the first activity, a noticeable traffic model is used to find the free flow movement of the vehicle and some parameters like activity thickness, living time and quantity of vehicles. In case of second activity queuing up model is used to find queue flow and parameters like length of line and time in the line are found. The research outcome will be given to all peoples in road traffic and traffic is the problem in many developed countries and they can be free from traffic. This model suggests an alternate route for the user which is free from traffic.

Effect of surface nanomorphology and interfacial galvanic coupling of PEDOT-titanium counter electrodes on the stability of dye-sensitized solar cell.

The present study demonstrates a novel approach by which titanium foils coated with electropolymerized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in combination with sputtered platinum can be processed into a high-surface area cathodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A detailed study has been performed to elucidate how surface nanomorphology and I(-)/I(3-) redox reaction behaviors underlying these photocathodes impact the DSSC performances. From the analysis of the relevant electrochemical parameters, an intrinsic correlation between the photovoltaic performances and the cathode surface area has been deduced for such a system and explained on the basis of relative contributions of the galvanic coupling properties of the nanomorphology PEDOT film and platinum. Depending on the type of photocathodes incorporated, it was observed that these PEDOT coated cathodes can exhibit higher stability over a given time range and photo-conversion efficiencies 12-40%, higher than that achievable in absence of the intermediate PEDOT coatings. It has been shown that DSSCs based on such metal-polymer hybrid photo-cathodes allow significant room for improvement in the catalytic performance at the electrode/electrolyte interface.

Effect of embedded plasmonic Au nanoparticles on photocatalysis of electrospun TiO2 nanofibers.

The present study demonstrates an original approach by which Au nanoparticles (approximately 10 nm) are embedded into TiO2 fibers via electrospinning. The photocatalytic performance of the resultant fibrous material was studied and related to the architecture and the nature of the internal interfaces in the composite. It was found that embedment of nano Au particles into the TiO2 fiber significantly improved the photocatalytic performance as compared to non-embedded ones. Electrospun fibers with the Au nanoparticles (approximately 10 nm) showed an average fiber diameter of approximately 380 nm. The photocatalytic studies of Au embedded TiO2 fibers using ultra-violet (UV) visible spectroscopy showed approximately 35% increase in photocatalytic activity when compared to the TiO2 fibers without the Au nanoparticles after 7 hrs of UV irradiation. This increase in photocatalysis was attributed to the ability of Au to increase charge separation in TiO2 and also to the ability of Au to transfer plasmonic energy to the dye.
