Advances of UAVs toward Future Transportation: The State-of-the-Art, Challenges, and Opportunities

Anunay Gupta, Tanzina Afrin, Evan Scully et al. · 1 Sep 2021

The adoption of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in numerous sectors is projected to grow exponentially in the future as technology advances and regulation evolves. One of the promising applications of UAVs is in transportation systems. As the current transportation system is moving towards Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), UAVs will play a significant role in the…

Driving Cycles for Estimating Vehicle Emission Levels and Energy Consumption

Amanuel Gebisa, Girma Gebresenbet, Rajendiran Gopal et al. · 1 Nov 2021

Standard driving cycles (DCs) and real driving emissions (RDE) legislation developed by the European Commission contains significant gaps with regard to quantifying local area vehicle emission levels and fuel consumption (FC). The aim of this paper was to review local DCs for estimating emission levels and FC under laboratory and real-world conditions. This review article…

A Secure Traffic Police Remote Sensing Approach via a Deep Learning-Based Low-Altitude Vehicle Speed Detector through UAVs in Smart Cites: Algorithm, Implementation and Evaluation

Ata Jahangir Moshayedi, Atanu Shuvam Roy, Alireza Taravet et al. · 3 Feb 2023

Nowadays, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a wide application in transportation. For instance, by leveraging it, we are able to perform accurate and real-time vehicle speed detection in an IoT-based smart city. Although numerous vehicle speed estimation methods exist, most of them lack real-time detection in different situations and scenarios. To fill the gap,…

A Review of Various Fast Charging Power and Thermal Protocols for Electric Vehicles Represented by Lithium-Ion Battery Systems

Peter Makeen, Hani A. Ghali, Saim Memon · 4 Mar 2022

Despite fast technological advances, the worldwide adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is still hampered mainly by charging time, efficiency, and lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries have become the primary source for EVs because of their high energy density and long lifetime. Currently, several methods intend to determine the health of lithium-ion batteries fast-charging protocols. Filling a gap…

Investigating the Impact of Connected and Automated Vehicles on Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections Safety in Mixed Traffic

Amir Hossein Karbasi, Steve O’Hern · 4 Jan 2022

Road traffic crashes are a major safety problem, with one of the leading factors in crashes being human error. Automated and connected vehicles (CAVs) that are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are expected to reduce human error. In this paper, the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) traffic simulator is used to investigate how…
