The fast-changing scenario of the transportation industry due to the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) imposes significant challenges on power distribution networks. Challenges such as dynamic and concentrated charging loads necessitate intel...

This paper seeks to provide a cost benefit analysis of the implementation of a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging strategy relative to a smart charging (V1G) strategy from the perspective of an individual electric vehicle (EV) owner with and without sola...

This study investigates urban heat vulnerabilities in Seville, Spain, using a multidimensional framework that integrates remote sensing, Space Syntax, and social vulnerability metrics. This research identifies Heat Boundaries (HBs), which are critica...

With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems and online ride-hailing platforms, the demand for promptly responding to passenger requests while minimizing vehicle idling and travel costs has grown substantially. This paper addresse...

With accelerating urbanization, the growing density of buildings and the expansion of road networks have fundamentally reshaped the interplay between geological hazards and urban infrastructure. Traditional vulnerability assessment models for buildin...

The Smart Cities journal retracts the article “Improvement in Collision Avoidance in Cut-In Maneuvers Using Time-to-Collision Metrics” [...]

As cities grow, they increase in complexity, requiring the effective use of land resources. Cycling is generally regarded as an alternative transport mode to support the development of the cities of tomorrow. In response to urbanization, in many citi...

With the aim of addressing the power quality problem associated with voltage fluctuation of multiple electric vehicles and renewable energy generation equipment integration into the AC micro-grid, a multi-agent system-based model-free adaptive constr...

Urban Living Labs (ULLs) are pivotal for promoting socio-technical innovation in smart cities, yet their role in achieving sustainable urban development remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by proposing a systematic literature review...

As cities densify, deep underground infrastructure construction such as mass rapid transit (MRT) systems increasingly demand smarter, digitalized, and more sustainable approaches. RC diaphragm walls, essential to these systems, present challenges due...
