Smart Cities, Volume 8, Issue 5

This study investigates how digital infrastructure contributes to smart city performance in emerging economic contexts and whether its impact is shaped by governance models. We estimate the effect of a Digital Technology Index on a composite Smart Ci...

Crisis management in smart cities demands coherent, interoperable, and reusable semantic models to represent complex systems, their risks, crisis situations, interdependencies, and decision-making processes across all lifecycle phases, i.e., preventi...

To address the problem of selecting an “appropriate” charging station for emergency charging during the journey of electric vehicles, this paper proposes a basic architecture of an intelligent charging navigation system composed of the po...

The rise of the smart city reflects a transformative shift in urban development, defined by the integration of advanced technologies and data-driven solutions seeking to address rapid urbanization, environmental externalities, and the ever-increasing...

Global warming and the energy crisis are two significant challenges in the world. The prime sources of greenhouse gas emissions are the transportation and power generation sectors because they rely on fossil fuels. To overcome these problems, the wor...

The accelerating complexity of urban environments has prompted cities to adopt digital technologies that improve efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. Among these, Urban Digital Twins (UDTw) have emerged as transformative tools for real-time re...

Cities face mounting pressures to deliver reliable, low-carbon services amid rapid urbanization and budget constraints. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and the Internet of Things (IoT) are widely promoted to a...

In the 21st century, rapid urbanisation has brought both challenges and opportunities. Smart cities have emerged as innovative solutions to meet the complex demands of urban life. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) serves as the backbone...

Smart and sustainable cities are often assessed using indicator-based models. However, most existing systems evaluate cities as a whole, offering limited support for project-level decision-making, particularly in small and medium-sized cities with sc...

As vehicle-centric perception struggles with occlusion and dense traffic, vehicle-infrastructure cooperative perception (VICP) offers a viable route to extend sensing coverage and robustness. This study proposes a feature-level VICP framework that fu...
