Street-level Flooding Platform: Sensing and Data Sharing for Urban Accessibility and Resilience

Street-level Flooding Platform: Sensing and Data Sharing for Urban Accessibility and Resilience Overview Of the myriad climate change impacts, flooding is expected to have an outsized influence on public health and infrastructure. In New York City, for example, sea-level rise and high-intensity rainstorms (which convey large volumes of water to drains, leading to backups and…

Energy Harvesting for Self-Powered Sensors for Smart Transportation Infrastructures

Energy Harvesting for Self-Powered Sensors for Smart Transportation Infrastructures Overview Finding an efficient source of energy has always been a big challenge for humans on Earth. Fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, have traditionally been considered as major sources of energy. These energy sources are not only nonrenewable but are also harmful to our…

Cooperative Perception of Road-Side Unit and Onboard Equipment with Edge Artificial Intelligence for Driving Assistance

Cooperative Perception of Road-Side Unit and Onboard Equipment with Edge Artificial Intelligence for Driving Assistance Overview Cooperative sensing refers to a technology that increases perception range and field-of-view by exchanging sensor information between vehicles (and roadside devices). Bagnell et al. developed a method that combines vehicle onboard data with static satellite imagery for path planning.…
