Inefficient urban traffic management remains a critical challenge, as conventional signal controllers—built on fixed timing plans—cannot cope with the dynamic nature of modern city traffic. This study addresses this limitation by developi...
The integration of Building Information Modeling [BIM] and Digital Twins [DT] has emerged as a central driver of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction sector. Yet, its systemic impact remains constrained by concept...
Timely fault detection, classification, and localization are fundamental to enabling fast service restoration in modern distribution networks, and are especially vital for maintaining the reliability and resilience of smart city electricity infrastru...
With the rapid integration of distributed energy resources, achieving a balance between economic efficiency and environmental sustainability in multi-microgrid (MMG) systems is critical. However, existing studies typically treat microgrid operators a...
Building-integrated photovoltaic systems are essential components of smart buildings and sustainable urban infrastructure, contributing to energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction in smart cities. Mismatch loss, particularly under partial sha...
Urban accessibility is commonly evaluated using static spatial indicators, which assume stable travel conditions throughout the day. Road congestion, network saturation, and service variability change the function and experience of the built environm...
Tourist congestion and load imbalance during peak periods pose critical challenges to the safe operation and experience assurance of large scenic areas. To address the limitations of traditional management approaches in capturing the dynamic and stoc...
Globally, the transport sector accounts for almost a quarter of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and generates large amounts of pollutants, placing significant pressure on the environment and human health. By 2050, the European Green Deal requires...
Emergency evacuation in complex and dynamic building environments requires robust and adaptive routing strategies capable of responding to evolving hazards, blocked passages, and changing crowd behaviour. Most existing evacuation planners rely on sta...
The emergence of smart cities demands a fundamental transformation in how energy is managed, positioning smart grid technologies as a key driver in urban progress [...]
Over nearly two decades, ride-hailing has become a major component of urban travel, and its tendency to increase vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and worsen congestion is now well established. What remains poorly understood is why pooling, the most frequ...
Effective traffic control using Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential to ensure safe passage for all road users. AI-based collision detection systems offer advanced mechanisms to prevent accidents and improve highway safety. This research investi...
Station-based car-sharing has been shown to reduce resource-intensive private car ownership. However, only a small proportion of the population uses station-based car-sharing, which could be improved by redesigning the service to reduce walking dista...
The transition to smart cities is accelerating distributed wind and solar deployment. However, their intermittency challenges grid operation, thereby making accurate machine-learning-based prediction of wind speed and global horizontal irradiance (GH...
The smart city concept has become a dominant framework for contemporary urban governance, largely driven by advances in digital technologies and data-driven decision-making. However, the prevailing technocratic orientation of smart city development r...
The Air-front Smart City (ASC) concept is proposed to address the stagnation of industries in developed countries and stimulate economic growth in developing countries while maintaining a higher quality of life for people and contributing to decarbon...
Short-term traffic load prediction is a fundamental component of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), supporting real-time monitoring, congestion mitigation, and adaptive traffic management in smart cities. Owing to the dynamic and nonlinear na...
The development of Smart Tourism often overlooks the “Wilderness Last Mile”, leading to the spatial exclusion of people with disabilities in mountain areas. This problem exists because standard tourist maps and urban-centric accessibility...
