    After a vehicle accident, insurance companies face the critical task of assessing the damage sustained by the involved vehicles, a process essential for maintaining the insurer's credibility, building consumer trust, and meeting legal and ethical obligations. This assessment is crucial for ensuring clients' financial protection and proper compensation, upholding the integrity of the insurance process. Traditionally, evaluations have been conducted through manual inspections by experienced professionals who meticulously document vehicle damage. Despite its thoroughness, this approach suffers from significant inefficiencies, high costs, and extended time requirements. Moreover, the method is vulnerable to human errors and subjective biases, which can result in inflated valuations. To overcome these challenges, this research introduces an innovative system designed to leverage technology for analyzing images of damaged vehicles uploaded by the user. This system aims to accurately identify the damaged external components, assess the severity of the damage, and determine the repair needs based on the compromised sections of the vehicle. The findings reveal that the hybrid model used in this research is capable of determining vehicle damage severity with an overall accuracy of 73.3%. This level of accuracy demonstrates the model's robust capability to effectively navigate and analyze complex damage patterns, underscoring its practical applications. By accurately determining damage levels on the first assessment, the model reduces the need for further assessments and disagreements, which frequently cause claim delays. This enhancement increases productivity, reduces administrative costs, and improves the customer experience, resulting in a more efficient, transparent, and satisfactory resolution of vehicle insurance claims.

    Enterprise networks increasingly rely on cloud platforms, remote collaboration tools, and real-time communication, placing high demands on bandwidth availability and responsiveness. Static bandwidth allocation approaches often fail to adapt to dynamic traffic conditions, leading to congestion, inefficiency, and degraded Quality of Service (QoS) for critical services such as VoIP and video conferencing. This research introduces a novel real-time bandwidth allocation system that integrates Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), supervised machine learning, and Linux traffic control (tc). Unlike prior solutions that focus only on classification or simulation, our system actively enforces bandwidth policies based on live predictions. Traffic is captured and analyzed in the WAN, while adaptive policies are deployed in the LAN. A web dashboard offers real-time traffic and bandwidth visibility. The proposed system addresses realworld enterprise challenges by enabling intelligent, responsive bandwidth management without requiring costly infrastructure changes, achieving measurable improvements in latency, throughput, and application-level prioritization.

    (2021-01) Wattegama, D; Silva, P. S; Elapatha, K; Yapa Abeywardena, K; Kuruwitaarachchi, N; Jayathilake, C. R
    “iSAY”' is a Blockchain-based polling system created for legislative assistance. Sri Lanka is a democratic country. Country follows a representative democracy and voters in Sri Lanka vote for their preferred government based on their election mandate. However, governments implement legislative decisions that are not stated in the election mandate. People won’t get a chance to state their opinion on this legislative matter and the government also doesn’t know whether people like this or not.  To solve this issue, in this paper the authors propose a blockchain-based intelligent polling application for legislative assistance.  “iSay” is an application where blockchain technology gets together with machine learning to add value into the public opinion. The government can create a poll about a legislative decision and people can state their opinion which could be further discussed in the legislature. Adding a significant change to the blockchain based e-voting solutions this paper proposes a novel feature where users can add their idea to a relevant poll. Using machine learning algorithms all these user ideas will be classified and analyzed before presenting to the government. Through this research, it is expected to deploy scalable elections among the general public and get their vote and ideas about specific legislations to generate an overview of general public opinion about legislative decisions.

    An Integrated Framework for Predicting Health Based on Sensor Data Using Machine Learning
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Jayaweera, K.N.; Kallora, K.M.C.; Subasinghe, N.A.C.K.; Rupasinghe, L.; Liyanapathirana, C.
    According to recent studies, the majority of the world's population shows a lack of concern in their health. As a consequence, the non-communicable disease rate has increased dramatically. Amongst these diseases, heart diseases have caused the most catastrophic situations. Apart from the busy lifestyle, studies also show that stress is another factor that causes these diseases. Therefore, the focus of our research is to provide a user-friendly health monitoring system that causes minimum disturbance to its users. However, many studies have focused on predicting health; very few have focused on its usability. The objective of our research is to predict the possibility of cardiac arrests and the presence of stress in real-time using a wearable device prototype. The system uses biometric signals obtained from the photoplethysmogram sensor embedded in the wearable device to perform real-time predictions. We trained three models using random forest, k-nearest neighbor, and logistic regression classification algorithms to predict sudden cardiac arrests with accuracies 99.93%, 99.10%, and 94.47%, respectively. Further, we trained three additional models to predict stress using the same algorithms with accuracies 99.87%, 96.83%, and 65.00%, respectively. Thus, the results of this study show that an integrated framework, capable of predicting different health-related conditions, through sensor data collected from wearable sensors, is feasible.
