The advent of Sixth Generation (6G) wireless technologies introduces challenges and opportunities for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), necessitating a reevaluation of traditional routing protocols. This paper in...

Critical infrastructure (CI) networks face diverse natural hazards, such as flooding. CI network modeling methods are used to evaluate these hazards, enabling the analysis of cascading effects, flood risk, and potential flood risk-reducing measures....

Today, historic villages represent a widespread and relevant reality of the Italian administrative structure. To preserve their value for future generations, smart city applications can contribute to implement effective monitoring and decision-making...

In the context of increasingly deteriorating global ecological conditions and rising carbon emissions from buildings, campus architecture, as the primary environment for youth learning and living, plays a crucial role in low-carbon energy-efficient d...

This study analyses five months of continuous monitoring of different lighting warning systems at a pedestrian crosswalk through video surveillance cameras during nighttime. Three different light signalling systems were installed near a pedestrian cr...

This paper examines how smart cities can address land subsidence and liquefaction in the context of rapid urbanization in Japan. Since the 1960s, liquefaction has been an important topic in geotechnical engineering, and extensive efforts have been ma...

The Consumer-Oriented Trusted Service Manager (CO-TSM) model has been recognised as a significant advancement in managing applications on Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled mobile devices and multi-application smart cards. Traditional Trusted Ser...

Public transportation has been identified as a viable solution to mitigate traffic congestion. Transit signal priority (TSP) control, which is widely used at signalized intersections, has been recognized as a practical strategy to improve the efficie...

In an efficient aerial package delivery scenario carried out by multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a task allocation problem has to be formulated and solved in order to select the most suitable assignment for each delivery task. This paper pre...

Smart cities increasingly rely on the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance infrastructure and public services. However, many existing IoT frameworks face challenges related to security, privacy, scalability, efficiency, and low latency. This paper int...
