The telecommunications department is the most difficult in today's communication offering the highest amount of bandwidth. With the finest prototypes and test rigs to form optical WDM technology, many companies have appeared for a particular link request, a wavelength and a path must be allocated in the WDM network. Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem is called the assignment of a wavelength and a path to the link request, with accessible resources. The aim of this article is to analyze the algorithms for any WDM networks for efficient wavelength assignment routing protocols. As a researcher, we plan to suggest a comprehensive literature study for the development of a new algorithm for efficient allocation and appropriate wavelength usage and the routing of data packets from source to destination to overcome all failures. Before allocation, we use simulations and analyze optic fiber communication methods, various losses depending on dynamic wavelength allocation with minimum and maximum. 10 30 2019 1290 1293 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3982.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39821081219/ Research Scholar, Mathematics Dept., M.I.T.E, Moodabidri, and Assistant Professor, SCEM, Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.

In this paper, the formulae for damping derivative for an ogive with the suppositions of a curve on the conical nose. The damping derivative in pitch is assessed for a broad scope of the inertia levels and the flow deflection angle. The outcome indicates that there is a progressive increase in the damping derivative with an increase in the flow deflection angle. When the inertia level is increased from M = 5 to 9, the damping derivative value diminishes, it becomes independent of inertia level, and later any increase in the Mach number does not yield any change in the magnitude of the damping derivatives, and that indicates the attainment of the Mach number independence principle. It is found from the results that when ogive is superimposed, the positive slope is useful, whereas, the negative slope does not yield any useful results, hence must be avoided in the design of the nose part of the aerospace vehicle design. Due to both either positive or negative slope, there is a considerable shift in the Centre of the pressure of the nose, which is right from the dynamic stability point of view. When the slope increased beyond λ > 10, the pressure distribution is such that the magnitude of the damping derivatives attains very peculiar behavior, and this trend is not acceptable. Hence, such a high value of the λ must be avoided. 10 30 2019 1317 1307 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3983.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39831081219/ Faculty of Industrial Logistics, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Industrial Technology, Johor, Malaysia.

A blind spot is an area or zone that cannot be directly observe by the driver. Usually, the weaknesses in the blind spot area resulted in accident between the vehicle as many drivers did not alert or have awareness on the blind spot area especially in heavy goods vehicle. The objective of this paper is to identify the awareness on the blind spot area in heavy goods vehicles to the road users. To achieve the objective, a questionnaire survey has been conducted to the road user. About 100 drivers randomly pick to answer the survey and they are consisting of non-truck drivers that drive a car, van and motorcycle. The results reveal that even the respondents know about the blind spot in heavy good vehicle, but the awareness in the of blind spot area still less where they mistake on the exact location of blind spot. Typically, the only zone that they know as the blind spot for heavy goods vehicle is at the back area. Therefore, it is suggested that the government to improve the awareness of blind spot areas within the drivers through restructure the system inside driving school by give more attention on the blind spot for heavy goods vehicle, make a campaign on the awareness of blind spot in heavy goods vehicle to remind again the road users about the area of blind spots, and establish a standard direct vision in heavy goods vehicle. 10 30 2019 5619 5623 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3984.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39841081219/ Industrial Logistics, Malaysian Industrial Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

This research explores the function of Customer Service (CS) in Third-Party Logistics (3PL) companies and their efficiency levels. Many 3PL companies rely on the performance of its CS department as the windows of contact between external customers and internal customers. Despite the critical function of CS in 3PL companies, less attention is given on the development and progress of the CS area. Poor CS performance leads to miscommunication among internal departments, suppliers and worst its customers. This situation, if prolonged, will give a high toll in operations cost and the company’s reputation in the industry. While companies with excellent CS team retain, more extended customers’ relationship and support derived from reliable services and trust experienced by customers with less additional or unexpected operations cost occurrence. The first objective of this study is to identify the factors influencing the CS efficiency and the second objective determined the level of efficiency of CS in 3PL companies. A thorough archival data were compiled and observed from previous studies conducted in this field. Interviews were conducted with selective respondents from 3PL companies located in Johor Bahru to measure CS efficiency. The findings of this research revealed each companies’ CS team performance and recommended areas for future improvements. 10 30 2019 5624 5629 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3985.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39851081219/ Marine Engineering and Electrical Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur/ Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology/ Perak, Malaysia.

The carburetor uses direct mixing of air and fuel into the engine compare to fuel injection that had a control system that adjust the volume of air to fuel mixture entering the engine. The fuel consumption is depending on the air to fuel ratio that is being injected into engine by injectors. Nowadays the price of the fossil fuel had been increase drastically compared to the last five years. The combustion of the engine has a major impact to the value of the Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR). When the air to fuel ratio is not close to the stoichiometry value, then the fuel consumption is not economical, and the engine is not in their optimum condition. An optimum and economical engine performance give a result in a decrease in fuel consumption thus reducing the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) into the atmosphere. Thus, this paper presents the system identification on fuel control system for controlling the air fuel ratio. Hence the parameters and relationship of the air fuel ratio can be reconnoitering. 10 30 2019 5636 5639 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3987.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39871081219/ Marine Engineering Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Marine Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, Lumut, Malaysia.

A cargo ship’s hull is made up of bent plates that are not stiffened. The hull can be strengthened by the structural member of the transverse or longitudinal framing system. Frames are strengths member that acts as integral parts of the ship girder when the ship exposed to the longitudinal and transverse stresses. One of the stresses is coming from the load by the container that the cargo ships carry. This research was conducted to analyse how the load does from the container affecting the total deformation and the stress distribution on the transverse framing system model. The analysis of model was using finite element analysis method. Finite element analysis is a numerical technique for solving engineering issues with complex loadings, geometries and material properties. The simulation results of equivalent (von-Mises) stress and total deformation will be compared with the Germanisher Lloyd rule. The result of total deformation and equivalent (von-Mises) stress must not exceed the value stated by Germanischer Lloyd rule. If the value of stress exceeds, it is considered a failure. All the results are not exceed the limit and is acceptable. 10 30 2019 5640 5646 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3988.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39881081219/ Marine Engineering Technology Section, Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology/ Universiti Kuala Lumpur/ Lumut, Perak, Malaysia.

The project is on Maximum efficiency of a solar panel. As the sun is not constant at one place and by fixing the solar array at one place, maximum power generation is not possible. This project develops a solar power generation system using maximum power point tracking system. More direct sun light on Photovoltaic (PV) modules leads to enhanced energy yield. Therefore, tracking systems are implemented to improve the performance of PV system by tracking sun trajectory. The current design of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) trackers are more efficient than conventional single state solar power generation. Then by comparing two designs initially produced, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) tracking devices are found to be at better efficiency than static models. The system locates maximum- power generating point using an MPPT controller. The base line results of this study were obtained via physical implementation of simulated system to analyze the various parameters. The system then uses a quadratic-equation based algorithm that calculates the quadratic function corresponding to the maximum power generation point. With the advent of different applications of PV solar power, system planners have been implementing different strategies and techniques to maximize the output of solar system with commonly available technology in market. Additionally, various mathematical techniques were utilized to analyze the results gathered from the physical implementation. The simulation results also implemented to compare between the hardware and software of the project. The comparison of static Photovoltaic output graphs with real time measured values for the systems and a Dynamic Photovoltaic Maximum power point Solar Tracker (MPPT) system was observed. Both PV systems were implemented practically to get appropriate results and mainly all the equipment and services utilized in installation are widely available in local market. 10 30 2019 5653 5659 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3990.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39901081219/ Marine of Electrical and Electronic Technology.

In the growing years, technology has become more complex. Development in the renewable energy is no exception indeed to sustain the demand for energy. This paper discusses a source of renewable energy that focuses solely on solar. This model was presented by developing a tracking system consisting of single and dual axis tracking systems. The purpose of this model is to analyze the performance of the whole system. The tracking system is designed based on the position of the sun in the morning, noon and night. The system will move toward the maximum light energy received as detected by the Light Dependent Resistor sensor (LDR).The results obtained show that the dual axis sun tracking system is more efficient than single axis due to the rotation in four directions while single axis only rotates along two directions which are east and west. The Voltage Boost Converter DC-DC Step up Module is used to maximize the power output. This idea will increase the power of battery charging optimization for Amphibian Research Crawler. 10 30 2019 5668 5672 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3993.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39931081219/ Marine Electrical & Electronics Technology, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Lumut Perak, Malaysia M.R.M.

Typically, Electric Vehicles propulsion systems come from one or more electrical motors built inside the vehicles. This motor used electricity as energy combustion method. Due to the limited energy storage capacity, Electric Vehicles need to replenish by plugging into an electrical source. The problems appear during multiple Electric Vehicles perform charging process in an Electric Distribution Network. This process willbe causing line overload and efficiency degradation of Distribution Network. In performance to evaluate the potential of different of charging coordination, a classification has been made. The new coordinated process may consider minimum power losses and acceptable voltage limit. The process also needs to define the optimal uncoordinated and coordinated charging point. Therefore, a simulation-based framework will be performed, that use two algorithms which are Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm. 10 30 2019 5673 5676 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3994.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39941081219/ Maritime Engineering Technology Section, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, Lumut, Perak, Malaysia.

Fertigation are combination of two words which are fertilizer and irrigation. To be more precise, fertigation is the process of applying fertilizer through an automatic irrigation system. Plants need enough both of nutrients and water supply in order to grow up and produce a high market value crop. Inaccurate amounts of water and fertilizer can lead to unhealthy plants growth and the worst is, the plants will be dead. Although there are the timer-based fertigation systems, the system cannot control the exact amount of fertilizer and water needed by the plants as they operate by supplying same amount of water and fertilizer in a specific time set without considering the weather and soil condition. The android application system allows users to send commands from their smart phones to control various type of appliances such as lighting, watering, timer or even fertilizer. The system is equipped with Arduino Uno and relay drivers circuit for controlling the system appliances. The system is suitable for long range control applications which mean can be control by any device that using dual-tone multi-frequency signaling transmitter from anywhere in the world. 10 30 2019 5683 5688 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L3996.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L39961081219/ Bachelor of Industrial Logistics, University Kuala Lumpur (MITEC), Johor Bahru, Malaysia Nur Idayu binti Abu Hasan* Donnavan Tan Kong Weng Lecturer of University Kuala Lumpur (MITEC), Johor Bahru, Malaysia Traffic congestion has been one of the major issues faced by most urbanization around the world.

Existing speed control systems on conventional electric fans operate in only three speed modes: Low, Medium and High. Changing the speed of the fan is a manual action which may be problematic for many users, such as senior citizens ordisabled users or any user with mobility problems. Using Internet of Things (IoT) technology solves this problem by allowing variation in fan speed from very low speed to the maximum speed as a linearly increasing speed function. This paper clearly explains the functioning of the IoT, and how to use IoT applications for automatic fan speed adjustments in this way, resulting in the SmartFan. A smart mobile phone with a mobile app is used as the remote controller. A control algorithm was developed to control the interactive communications between the smartphone and the electric fan. This control approach has proven to be a useful and convenient method for the remote control of electric fan speeds. 10 30 2019 5720 5728 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L4004.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L40041081219/ Associate Professor of Mathematics, R.M.K.

In our day-to-day life we hear about many Tamil Fishermen being caughtand put under Sri Lankan Naval custody. The sea border between thecountries is not easily identifiable, which is the main reason for this offence. Moreover, in cases of imminent natural disasters, failure or delayin notifying concerned personnel to evacuate results in loss of life on alarge scale. In this paper we have proposed a method which protects thefishermen by logging their entries and exits in the harbour using embeddedsystem, notifying the country’s sea border to them by using Global Positioning System (GPS), GeoFencing and Mobile Systems. We use GPSas a method to track the current location of the fishermen. The GPS’current latitude and longitude coordinates are sent to the database wherethe administrator utilizes it for continuous tracking and monitoring of theuser, if in distress using their credentials and last known location, currentlocation predictions can be made. Another benefit being the logging procedures help official authoritative agencies to identify fishermen and their activities for their own safety and security. 10 30 2019 5762 5766 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L4011.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L40111081219/ Maritime Engineering Technology Section, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, Lumut, Malaysia.

The purpose of lifting or transfering of the blocks is to relocate the block to a new position before joining with other blocks. Prior to the lifting operation of ship’s sub-block, some stress and deflection analysis shall be done, in order to assess the magnitude of the deformation and the stresses acting on the structural members of the block. Based on the assessment, some changes in lifting operation can be intiated for example changing the lifting eye pad location to minimize plate deformation and bucking of structural members. In this study, the structural behaviour of a block was investigated using basic finite element method in order to simulate the deflections and stresses during the lifting operation. The initial dimension of the sub-block that was being investigated are with its dimensions: 21 meters in length, 16 meters in width, 4 meters in height. The type of material of all the structural components used in the sub-block is High Tensile Steel DH36. The investigation used Multiframe software. There are four case studies conducted with varying padeye location and number of lifting eye pads used in a single lifting. The sub block is approximately at 160 tonnes. These results were assessed with the DNV-GL acceptance criteria which can be found in DNV-GL Rules for finite element analysis. The highest yield ulitilization factor was found in case study 3 at 0.864, where it did not comply with the permissible coarse mesh yield utilization factor which is limited to 0.80. The lowest yield utilization factor was found in case study 2 at 0.278. Using the DNV-GL acceptance criteria it is concluded that case study 2 is the best configuration in lifting the sub-block. 10 30 2019 5566 5571 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.4012.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L40121081219/ Universiti Kuala Lumpur – Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology (UNIKL-MIMET) ,Lumut, Perak, Malaysia A.

This study looks at five paradigms: learners’ personality, amount and quality of exposure to English, learners’ attitude, learners’ motivation, and pedagogical management of the English Language courses at the campus. The study also compares the causes of the speaking problems in English between male and female students. Survey questionnaires are distributed to 150 final-year maritime students. Data were analysed descriptively via SPSS. It is found that the main causes of the students’ speaking problems stem from the teachers’ pedagogical management of the English subjects, exposure to English, and personality which contribute moderately to the learners’ predicaments. However, motivation and attitude are identified to have contributed the least to the students’ oral skills inadequacies. Several ensuing implications for initiatives to help enhance students’ speaking proficiency in the English Language are also discussed. 10 30 2019 5577 5584 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true 10.35940/ijitee.L4014.1081219 https://www.ijitee.org/portfolio-item/L40141081219/ Maritime Management Section, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, UniKL MIMET, Lumut, Perak, Malaysia Ismila Che Ishak* Muhammad Nur Hakim Normadi Maritime Operation, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, UniKL MIMET, Lumut, Perak, Malaysia Nazliah Mohd Ali Technical Foundation Section, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute Marine Engineering Technology, UniKL MIMET, Lumut, Perak, Malaysia The maritime industry relates to the carriage of cargoes activities such as shipping and port operations, including a wide supporting activity offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
