Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things for intelligent transportation systems

March 19, 2026 by Sudhir K. Routray, Sasmita Mohanty

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things (IoT) are key technologies for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). The fusion of these two important technologies is essential for ITSs, which can steer the future of mobility toward greater safety, efficiency, and sustainability. AI-driven analytics, coupled with real-time IoT sensor data, enable dynamic … [Read more...] about Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things for intelligent transportation systems

Rethinking traffic congestion in semiurban areas: Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things solutions for school zones and floods

January 8, 2026 by Sing Ling Ong, Michael Chi Seng Tang

Abstract: Traffic congestion in semiurban areas presents unique challenges due to limited road capacity, growing vehicle volumes, school zone peak demand, and environmental disruptions such as flooding. Traditional fixed-time traffic control systems often fail to adapt to dynamic traffic conditions, leading to prolonged delays, safety risks, and reduced mobility efficiency. … [Read more...] about Rethinking traffic congestion in semiurban areas: Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things solutions for school zones and floods

A novel and intelligent GSM-based smart prepaid water meter

July 28, 2023 by Boniface Ntambara

The Arusha Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (AUWSA) is a public utility responsible for ensuring the reliable delivery of clean water to the people of Arusha, Tanzania. However, issues with water bill payments have emerged, which have impacted the AUWSA’s operations and ability to provide a sustainable and affordable water supply service. Late payment of water bills … [Read more...] about A novel and intelligent GSM-based smart prepaid water meter

Accelerating smart campus development with an extensible framework

July 28, 2023 by Bugra Aydin

In recent years, underwater robots have been an essential focus of marine science and technology applications. Whether it is the application of military tasks or general civil affairs, underwater robots have played a significant role. For example, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) can work in the sea for a long time, have high maneuverability, and perform various underwater … [Read more...] about Accelerating smart campus development with an extensible framework

Robotics in solid waste handling: From science fiction to reality

May 12, 2022 by Juan Camilo David, Luis Felipe Ortiz-Clavijo, Sergio Armando Gutiérrez, and Carlos Julián Gállego

claw suspended in air

It is currently estimated that approximately 55% of the world population lives in urban centers (World Bank, 2020). This is partly caused by phenomena such as the migration of people from rural areas toward cities. A direct consequence of this situation is the increase in solid waste (SW) generation. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about Robotics in solid waste handling: From science fiction to reality

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
