    Safety Analysis of Shutdown System in Nuclear Power Plants through Petri Nets
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Das, M.; Mohan, B.R.; Ram Mohana Reddy, G.; Abhishek; Kumar, A.; Kumar, P.; Khan, J.
    Addressing the critical need for rigorous safety analysis, the research focuses on the intricate shutdown mechanisms, particularly the Rod Control System and Poison Injection System. The methodology commenced with exhaustive system requirements gathering to grasp the operational nuances and emergency protocols. A meticulous Petri Net representation followed, encapsulating system components and concurrent processes within a cohesive model. The framework facilitated rigorous safety checks, formal verification, and simulation-based o ptimization. Through iterative design and validation against established research, the model underwent continuous refinement. The findings illuminate the robustness of safety protocols and offer a transformative outlook on shutdown procedures, laying a foundation for further research and practical implementation to secure NPP operations. © 2024 IEEE.

    A Survey on Vehicle Collision Avoidance Systems: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ramesh, G.; Kiran Raj, K.M.; Abhishek; Devadiga, M.T.; Manohara, M.; Boloor, S.; Sowjanya, N.
    Vehicle Collision Avoidance Systems (VCAS) enhance road safety by enabling vehicles to autonomously detect and respond to potential hazards using technologies such as radar, LiDAR, cameras, V2X communication, and machine learning algorithms. Key features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning help prevent accidents and improve driver assistance. Despite challenges like sensor limitations in adverse conditions, communication delays, and cybersecurity risks, advancements in sensor accuracy, decision-making algorithms, and edge computing continue to drive innovation. This paper highlights the importance of technological improvements, regulatory frameworks, and system interoperability in advancing VCAS adoption and achieving safer, autonomous transportation. © 2025 IEEE.
