We present a new urban mobility concept, Connected Swarm Cycling, that creates a group of people cycling together for a while in a common direction or destination. We assume that the concept of Swarm Cycling can significantly change the mobility behaviour of citizens and will be a building block of green mobility for sustainable cities in the future. Utilizing an OSRM11http://project-osrm.org/ routing service with support of trip intersection computing, the system inducts the cyclists into a cycling swarm. The swarms are formed automatically via peer-to-peer connection when cyclists come in proximity, and the information of the swarm and individual cyclist will be synchronized within the swarm via a Nearby Mesh Network. Supporting the implicit interaction within or between swarms, smart wearables are utilized to realize use cases like swarm member identification or signalling in case of merging or splitting of swarms. In this paper, we also present a technical description of our system, including the protocol and network model to support the coordination and synchronization within the swarms.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"392 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132655607","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}

However, an accurate prediction is difficult due to the uncertainty of weather phenomena that impact produced power. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of different clustering methods on the forecast accuracy for predicting hourly ahead solar power when using machine learning based prediction approaches trained on weather and generated power features. In particular, we compare clustering methods using clearness index and K-means clustering, where we use both euclidian distance and dynamic time-warping. For evaluating prediction accuracy, we develop and compare different prediction models for each of the clusters using production data from a swedish SmartGrid. We demonstrate that proper tuning of thresholds for the clearness index improves prediction accuracy by 20.19% but results in worse performance than using K-means with all weather features as input to the clustering.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"04 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130700821","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 proposed model is applied to 11 weeks of non-processed data, recorded by 7 inductive loop detectors installed on urban roads located in downtown of Bremen (Germany). The performance of E-KNN is tested on 3 weeks of data and reported following different day-hours categories, including rush hours. Excluding early day-hours where traffic is insignificant, E-KNN performs 6-steps (1h) prediction with an average absolute relative error of 17% on test-set.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126924700","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}

Thus, Home Energy Management Systems (HEMSs) have been gaining increased attention nowadays. To capitalize on the potential of HEMS, which supports customer participation and two-way power communication so as to maintain the generation-load balance, two interconnected challenges, i.e., load monitoring and identification of appliances consumption, need to be addressed. In this contribution, a comprehensive nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) algorithm for appliance identification is proposed, which only requires a single sensing point from conventional homes, i.e., the aggregated power signal. Machine learning algorithms and both time-domain and frequency-domain based feature extraction are utilized in the development of the proposed solution. Simulation experiments are performed using the Reference Energy Disaggregation Dataset (REDD), a real household power consumption dataset. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed NILM strategy with F1-score values of 97.659%, higher than those reported in the state-of-the-art.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"312 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122803903","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}

These services are typically implemented as software applications in various application domains, e.g., healthcare, cooperative robotic systems, and autonomous vehicles. However, to assure continued safe operations of the critical services with strict real-time requirements even when the service is under attack is an extremely challenging task mainly because the underlying operating environment for such applications is highly volatile yet distributed. To this end, first, we classify (as we call it) timed resilience requirements into computational and communication resilience and then discuss key challenges that hinder the modeling of such requirements to help develop rigorous distributed applications for real-time resilient autonomous systems. Finally, we demonstrate our vision to handle these challenges by introducing by-design and by-response approaches that consider security as a prerequisite of the safety and resilience of autonomous systems.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124902530","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}

Early fire detection using deep learning techniques is emerged to be an effective solution using close-circuit television (CCTV) in smart cities, but it has limited coverage in huge building infrastructures and urban forests. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) cover wide areas, but fire detection in visual data captured from UAVs is a challenging task. Therefore, we employ deep multi-scale features from a backbone model and apply attention mechanism for accurate fire detection. The deep features from intermediate layers capture fire regions using spatial object edges information and final layers extract image global representations. The features fusion ensures to represent the image effectively, where the fused features are enhanced using multi-headed self-attention to highlight the most important fire regions. Preliminary experimental results (https://github.com/tanveer-hussain/DMFA-Fire) using UAV fire detection dataset demonstrate effective performance of the proposed model against rivals and consequently present a new deep model's perspective to consider multi layer features for accurate detection performance, thereby providing effective applicability in smart cities environments.","PeriodicalId":277015,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129578228","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}
