Unfortunately, accidents caused by bad weather have regularly made headlines throughout history. Some of the more catastrophic events to recently make news include a plane crash, ship collision, railway derailment, and several vehicle accidents. The public’s attention has been directed to the severe issue of safety and security under extreme weather conditions, and many studies have been conducted to highlight the susceptibility of transportation services to environmental factors. An automated method of determining the weather’s state has gained importance with the development of new technologies and the rise of a new industry: intelligent transportation. Humans are well-suited for determining the temperature from a single photograph. Nevertheless, this is a more challenging problem for a fully autonomous system. The objective of this research is developing a good weather classifier that uses only a single image as input. To resolve quality-of-life challenges, we propose a modified deep-learning method to classify the weather condition. The proposed model is based on the Yolov5 model, which has been hyperparameter tuned with the Learning-without-Forgetting (LwF) approach. We took 1499 images from the Roboflow data repository and divided them into training, validation, and testing sets (70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively). The proposed model has gained 99.19% accuracy. The results demonstrated that the proposed model gained a much higher accuracy level in comparison with existing approaches. In the future, this proposed model may be implemented in real-time.

The rapid advancement of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed management accounting practices, necessitating a reevaluation of job profiles and skill-sets required for professionals in this field. This study explores managerial accounting practices in Romanian contexts, examining how digital technology aligns with competitive strategy, managerial efficiency, human resources constraints, and limited resources constraints. Grounded in technology determinism and the resource-based view theory, this research identifies factors influencing the successful implementation of and challenges associated with managerial accounting practices. A sequential mediation analysis investigates pathways wherein investments in human resources and constraints related to limited resources influence managerial advancement through digital technology and competitive strategy. This study emphasizes digital technologies’ role in optimizing costs, enhancing operational processes, and facilitating strategic decision-making. This study’s conclusions show that, even in situations with limited resources, digital transformation projects greatly improve managerial effectiveness and competitive strategy. The participants included 406 professional accountants from the Romanian accounting community. Practical implications for companies include the necessity for strategic planning in digital implementations to mitigate constraints and capitalize on opportunities for sustainable growth and competitive advantage. This report provides a path to optimize the potential of digital technology and gives practical recommendations for researchers and business leaders.

This study examines the key drivers behind the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the accounting profession, emphasizing the influence of AI-related knowledge, personality traits, and professional roles. By applying Decision Tree Regression analysis to survey data from accounting professionals, our research identifies AI knowledge as the strongest determinant of AI adoption, underscoring the importance of expertise in technology acceptance. While personality traits play a secondary role, extraversion and openness emerge as significant factors influencing adoption intentions. The study further explores AI applications in financial auditing, tax compliance, and fraud detection, clarifying the specific accounting domains impacted by AI integration. These findings offer valuable guidance for policymakers, educators, and business leaders aiming to equip the accounting workforce with the necessary skills and mindset to navigate the AI-driven transformation of the profession.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is altering the hiring, training and management of staff in companies, thus transforming decision-making in human resource management (HRM) from past data-driven to present. This paper examines how artificial intelligence is changing HR best practices and highlights the main factors influencing AI adoption and the consequent effects on organizational effectiveness. We investigate how employee’s digital abilities, artificial intelligence experience and self-confidence in using technology impact AI integration in HRM through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), correlation analysis, network analysis, and decision tree regression. Although age and education have just a small impact, the results reveal that digital competency is the largest driver of AI adoption followed by artificial intelligence experience and self-efficacy. However, the adoption of artificial intelligence is not without difficulty. The main obstacles for companies trying to include artificial intelligence into HR are algorithmic bias, openness issues and ethical dangers. Organizations should invest in AI-focused training programs, guarantee fairness in AI-driven hiring and evaluations, and maintain human supervision to balance automation with ethical decision making to maximize AI while avoiding these risks. Future studies should investigate how the acceptance of artificial intelligence in HR changes over time, how it affects other sectors and how employees really feel about collaborating with HR systems driven by artificial intelligence. AI has great potential to improve HR efficiency and decision making with proper application; yet its success depends on ensuring it remains inclusive, ethical and transparent even as such.
