Continuous technological, ecological, and digital transformations reshape urban mobility systems. While sustainable mobility has become a dominant keyword, there are many different approaches and policies to help achieve lasting and properly function...
Urban green spaces are essential for mitigating the heat island effect, supporting ecosystem services, and maintaining biodiversity. The distribution, fragmentation, and connection of the green spaces significantly impact the behavior of species in c...
Against a global backdrop of industrialization and urbanization, precise measurement of multifactor flows and systematic identification of barriers and drivers are critical for optimizing resource allocation in smart regional development. This study...
Today, due to the widening of the wealth gap, the intensification of climate change, and the acceleration of both population growth and population aging, our cities are being tested by multiple economic, environmental, and social challenges, includin...
Climate change and urbanization are intensifying the urban heat island effect and negatively impacting outdoor thermal comfort in cities. Innovative planning strategies are required to design more livable and resilient urban spaces. Building on a sta...
The effective management of smart cities relies on real-time data from urban environments, where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are critical sensing platforms. However, deploying high-performance detection models on resource-constrained UAVs present...
This study examines the global mobility of researchers in the smart city domain from 2000 to 2020, using inter-country and intercity affiliation data from the Web of Science. Employing network analysis and spatial econometric models, the paper maps t...
Most urban areas have Traffic Management Centers that rely partially on communication with 9-1-1 centers for incident detection. This level of awareness is often lacking for rural interstates spanning several 9-1-1 centers. This paper presents a nove...
Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, threatening the resilience of buildings and urban infrastructure. While technical solutions for climate adaptation in buildings are well documented, their economic v...
A significant portion of home energy consumption is due to concealed faults and the inefficient usage of home appliances, usually because of user ignorance and a lack of proactive maintenance strategies. In this paper, ENACT, a digital-twin-based sys...
