Abstract

Various countries throughout the world have started their efforts in designing and implementing smart cities. China alone has over 300 smart city projects, with strong participation by industries and government offices. India too have allocated trillions in budget to build over 100 smart cities. An essential part of a smart city is transport. In this paper, we will discuss the current state, developments, and some of the emerging advances in transportation technologies and how these advances in smart roads will prepare the society towards the realization of future smart cities.

Environmental monitoring using autonomous vehicles: a survey of recent searching techniques.

Auke J. Ijspeert, Behzad Bayat, Naveena Crasta … (2017)

Autonomous vehicles are becoming an essential tool in a wide range of environmental applications that include ambient data acquisition, remote sensing, and mapping of the spatial extent of pollutant spills. Among these applications, pollution source localization has drawn increasing interest due to its scientific and commercial interest and the emergence of a new breed of robotic vehicles capable of operating in harsh environments without human supervision. The aim is to find the location of a region that is the source of a given substance of interest (e.g. a chemical pollutant at sea or a gas leakage in air) using a group of cooperative autonomous vehicles. Motivated by fast paced advances in this challenging area, this paper surveys recent advances in searching techniques that are at the core of environmental monitoring strategies using autonomous vehicles.
