There has been a rise in the concept of ethical consumerism in various sectors of the economy. This chapter examines ethical consumerism in the Bahrain banking sector by analyzing customer surveys and annual reports from seven commercial banks. The findings show limited evidence of ethical consumerism in supply and demand. [...]

The use of Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination has grown considerably in response to water scarcity. Despite steady improvements in efficiency, RO desalination remains an energy-intensive process. Numerous studies focussed on using mature Renewable Energy Sources (RES), such as wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) energy, to drive RO plants on a [...]

This paper aims to investigate the service quality dimensions that were discussed by previous literature at Government To Citizens – G2C. Service quality is essential nowadays, which enable organizations to understand users’ expectations of services. Using the literature review methodology, the researchers were able to identify the fundamental dimensions that [...]

Signalized intersections are major components for any transportation network as the traffic operation at these intersections will significantly affect the operation for the whole network. Dynamic lane assignment (DLA) represents an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) technique that can be used to enhance the traffic operations at signalized intersection by utilizing [...]

This paper presents a proposed fault locating system for the low voltage distribution systems in Bahrain using the existing installed smart meters and the geographical information system (GIS). The currently used methods for locating faults in the low voltage distribution system in Bahrain are very time consuming, unreliable and potentially [...]

Internet of things (IoT) could be found on everywhere in today live. It is used in smart cities like roads, hospitals and in smart homes like controlling door or air conditioner unit or preventing fires and much more. These devices that use IoT are connected to the internet and send [...]

Generation system reliability is an important factor in the long-term planning for future capacity expansion to make sure that the total installed capacity is enough to support demand. This case is very important for smart cities, because it is focusing on the optimal solution. Whenever the number of days very [...]

While there has been an increasing number of studies on smart cities, there are still issues in assessment and governance of these cities. This study aims to analyze and provide insights into the research done in smart city maturity models by conducting a systemically review of related literature. The study [...]

The global and continental crash death rate trends, adjusted for under-reporting, death definition, and missing data, are analyzed, modelled, and compared with international findings considering data for 215 countries for 35 years. Although global reported mortality rates required 25% to 44% adjustments, that estimated by World Health Organization (WHO) and World [...]

To defend intelligent transportation networks’ security and privacy, existing standards employ the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication framework. However, the high associated PKI computation and communication overheads break ground for utilizing an alternative candidate, the Identity-based Cryptographic (IBC) authentication. Most of the underlined calculations of the IBC approaches rely on [...]
