Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Smart cities, driven by the increasing presence of digital technology, are becoming interconnected systems that can provide their users with increasingly modern and technologically advanced services.

Through the use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and the data they provide, the amount of data that can be processed using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms is increasing. The adoption of IoT sensors is allowing cities to manage their services intelligently and to offer new services.

One approach to efficiently manage this large volume of data and the IoT devices and sensors used in smart cities is through the adoption of Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

Therefore, significant research is needed to explore how the Artificial Intelligence approach can be adopted more efficiently in smart cities to offer new services and improve the existing approaches.

This Special Issue will provide a forum for high-quality contributions on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the service of smart cities.

In particular, it will provide a contribution to new ways of acquiring and processing data captured through IoT sensors and subsequent processing using ML algorithms.

This contribution will be crucial for all decision support systems, which are often at the center of the processes governing smart cities. Reviews and investigations on the topic are also welcome.

Robust and accurate three-dimensional localization is essential for personal navigation, emergency rescue, and worker monitoring in indoor environments. For localization technology to be employed in various applications, it is necessary to reduce infrastructure dependence and limit the maximum error bound. This study aims to accurately estimate the location of various people using smartphones in a building with a cloud platform-based localization system. The proposed technology is modularized in a hierarchical structure to sequentially estimate the floor and location. This system comprises four localization modules: course level detection, fine level detection (FLD), fine location tracking (FLT), and level change detection (LCD). Each module operates organically according to the current user status. The position estimation range is defined as a total of three phases, and an appropriate location estimation module suitable for the corresponding phase operates to estimate the user’s location gradually and precisely. When the user’s floor is determined by an FLD, the two-dimensional position of the user is estimated by an FLT module that tracks the user’s position by comparing the received signal strength indicator vector sequence and radio map. Also, LCD recognizes the user’s floor change and converts the user’s phase. To verify the proposed technology, various experiments were conducted in a six-story building, and an average accuracy of less than 2 m was obtained. Full article

This study introduces a novel model for accurately estimating the cuboid of a road vehicle using a monovision sensor and road geometry information. By leveraging object detection models and core vectors, the proposed model overcomes the limitations of multi-sensor setups and provides a cost-effective solution. The model demonstrates promising results in accurately estimating cuboids by utilizing the magnitudes of core vectors and considering the average ratio of distances. This research contributes to the field of intelligent transportation by offering a practical and efficient approach to 3D bounding box estimation using monovision sensors. We validated feasibility and applicability are through real-world road images captured by CCTV cameras. Full article
