This paper proposes a smart dome model for mosques that uses AI to control dome movements based on weather conditions and overcrowding. The model utilizes Congested Scene Recognition Network (CSRNet) and fuzzy logic techniques in Python to determine when to open and close the domes to maintain fresh air and sunlight. The goal is to automatically manage dome operation based on real-time data, specifying the duration for which the domes should remain open each hour.

This paper proposes a smart dome system for mosques that uses machine learning to automatically control dome ventilation based on weather conditions and outside temperatures. The system was tested on the Prophet Mosque in Saudi Arabia using K-Nearest Neighbors and Decision Tree algorithms. The Decision Tree algorithm achieved a higher accuracy of 98% compared to 95% for the k-NN algorithm.

A proposed recognition system aims to identify missing persons, deceased individuals, and lost objects during the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages in Saudi Arabia. The system intends to leverage facial recognition and object identification to manage the large crowds expected in the coming decade, estimated to reach 20 million pilgrims. It will be integrated into the CrowdSensing system for crowd estimation, management, and safety.

This study introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) framework using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) to optimize the cleaning schedules of photovoltaic panels in arid regions. Applied to a case study in Abu Dhabi, the PPO-based framework demonstrated up to 13% cost savings compared to simulation optimization methods by dynamically adjusting cleaning intervals based on environmental conditions. The research highlights the potential of RL in enhancing the efficiency and reducing the operational costs of solar power generation.
