Transportation is currently the source of most urban smog. Electric transportation is tailor-made for Smart Cities. Energy storage inherent in the auto batteries adds a dispatchable, curtailable load in the near-term and provides a foundation for fully integrating this large, flexible load into power system operations in longer-term. The added flexibility will provide an excellent complement for further increases in renewable generation. This papers describes key characteristics of an electrified transportation system and discusses opportunities and potential issues that may arise as a consequence of the attendant electric load growth.","PeriodicalId":201808,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114964456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent cases of extreme events–either nature or human-caused– have demonstrated ripple effects propagating from one critical infrastructure to another reflecting the interdependencies. Among many CIs, the electric power and transportation infrastructure systems exhibit a higher level of interdependencies, and it is vital to model electric power and transportation infrastructure system holistically to understand the vulnerable states from temporal and spatial dimensions considering interconnectedness and cascading effects. This study developed a graph-theory based analysis framework to model the interdependencies between the electric power and transportation infrastructure systems– road networks. The CI elements are integrated by building a heterogeneous graph that includes transportation road sections, electrical substations, utility headquarters, traffic signal nodes, and other relevant CI nodes. We report the results from a case study in Seattle, Washington considering different scenarios– network disruption types, traffic congestion level, and uncertainty in restoration time.","PeriodicalId":201808,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"389 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116489310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting simulations from these studies are designed on the basis of a set of predefined scenarios and aim to analyze the motorcyclists’ behavior when interacting with the infrastructure. Furthermore, the analysis of the risk incurred by the riders’ maneuvers is of utmost importance to ensure their safety in realistic situations. However, the nature of road patterns (left or right turns, roundabouts and straight lines) is unknown in advance and should be deduced from the rider’s behavior or by extracting some infrastructure-based features from GPS track. This paper concentrates on the segmentation of trajectories and identification of different road patterns using sensory data and extracted features with the aim to facilitate the analysis of potential risks related to each pattern. To conduct this analysis, three non-supervised machine learning techniques are evaluated and their performances are compared. Finally, an exploratory cross analysis between the identified situations and rider’s dynamic behaviors allows for a more in-depth understanding of riders’ decisions.","PeriodicalId":201808,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132015709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper realizes node importance evaluation through complex network evaluation indexes, including node degree, betweenness coefficient, efficiency loss coefficient, and agglomeration lifting coefficient. Combining these indexes, a composite index is obtained to select vital nodes in a given power grid. This paper proposes a design method for information network of ubiquitous power internet of things through traversal algorithm and network evaluation index optimization. The information network will be only constructed on the vital nodes in order to increase economy and keep effect.

Slowly the world is stepping towards smart systems enabling complete automation of societies. The concept of smart cities, which is heavily based on Internet of Things (IoT) systems makes human lives more comfortable and secure in every aspect. As a result, smart waste management systems form an essential part of the establishment of smart cities. The conventional method of manually monitoring the wastes in waste bins is a tedious process and uses a lot of human effort, time, and cost which can easily be avoided with the current innovations. The garbage collection process is also highly redundant, inefficient, and can be vastly improved using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. The purpose of this paper is to use the powerful tools of IoT to completely automate the process of garbage monitoring using ultrasonic sensors and NodeMCU and provide an optimal route for garbage collection using the cluster first-route second ML algorithm.","PeriodicalId":201808,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"19 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114052656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vehicle detection can be considered as the most important task in Smart Parking systems as it allows to automatically monitor the occupancy state of the parking spots in a city. In this paper, we implement and test a vehicle detection system based on a magnetometer sensor, which is part of a complete Smart Parking system under development at the University of Cagliari. After a preliminary analysis conducted to test the performance of the magnetometer, we conducted two specific experiments to investigate the suitability of the magnetometer as the mean to detect the presence of a vehicle in the parking spots. The first experiment, involving 15 different vehicles, has demonstrated that the magnetometer can be used to reliably detect the presence of a vehicle in a parking spot if it is placed under the front or rear axle of the vehicle. From the second experiment it resulted that, when considering 3 adjacent parking spots and only one magnetometer placed in the central spot, it is not possible to reliably detect the vehicles parked on the adjacent spots. Therefore, one magnetometer for each considered parking spot is needed.","PeriodicalId":201808,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114168277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
