Abstract
Crowdsensing has received widespread attention in recent years. It is extensively employed in smart cities and intelligent transportation systems. This paper comprehensively surveys the latest research advancements in crowdsensing for smart cities from a novel perspective. Specifically, this paper is categorized according to sensing entities in smart cities, including human-oriented sensing, vehicle-oriented sensing, and infrastructure-oriented sensing. Meanwhile, the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted sensing in recent years is also summarized, accompanied by a timeline of related research. To facilitate easy comprehension, we have positioned the reading flow into the corresponding architectures, resolved problems, existing technical solutions, and specific application scenarios for different sensing entities. In particular, the problems to be solved are further analyzed from four technical perspectives, namely mathematics and operational research, artificial intelligence and machine learning, incentive mechanisms, security and privacy protection. Based on the proposed taxonomy, recent studies are thoroughly investigated to illustrate the current state of research in crowdsensing. Furthermore, this paper highlights the emerging applications of human-oriented and vehicle-oriented sensing in smart cities, as well as the frameworks, platforms, simulators, and datasets involved in crowdsensing. Finally, this paper discusses research directions related to crowdsensing in smart cities, such as digital twins, metaverses, and artificial intelligence-generated content. The primary goal of this survey is to review and synthesize prior research, identify potential avenues for future research, and explore opportunities for collaboration with other relevant research domains.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues.
A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
