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

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.
