Workshop: Internet of Things (IoT) for Intelligent Mobility and Dynamics: Interconnecting Air, Ground and Human

— This paper summarizes the workshop session on the pivoting interconnection between various Internet of Things (IoT) services in the air, ground, and human applications. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been intelligently applied in space-to-ground, IoT-based remote sensing and imaging land applications for earth sustainability. The integrity and reliability of these GNSS services has been ensured with the digital signatures among the ground GNSS and edge IoT devices through the mobile terrestrial infrastructure. Edge IoT devices such as drones have traditionally suffered from unsustainable power consumption during mission critical operation such as hovering surveillance. These have been addressed by the introduction of perching drones that will reduce power consumption of the flying drones. Its critical safety aspect that will impact various human operations on the ground has been cleverly investigated through the design of dynamic design rules for flight operation.
