Download or read book Assessing Infrastructure Elements Using Automated Object Detection Technique in Smart City Applications written by Majid Mastali and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, road features are becoming more complex leading to more complicated complaints regarding urban environments. Point Cloud Data (PCD) processing is an essential element for detecting objects and analysing human driving behavior to identify the variables defining challenging objects and maneuvers in smart cities. PCDs include a range of processing, including indirect processing (e.g., data converting, cleaning process) and direct process (e.g., pass through elevation filter, statistical outlier removal, normal estimation as well as classification). Static and dynamic object detection and analysis are typically considered the most sophisticated options subsumed under PCDs. They involve direct evaluation of both static and dynamic objects of maneuvers variables for people who use the road with and without a vehicle in line with American with Disability Act (ADA) and trajectory variables of passing distance law for challenging scenarios. The results of point cloud data evaluations allow government agencies to provide communities with the information necessary to strategically plan transportation infrastructure improvements for people using roads and sidewalks. This two-part study identifies the essential components of sidewalk evaluation, and driver behaviors and reports the degree to which object and driver analysis are aligned with the expert recommended components of the ADA and passing distance law. The first study explores the feasibility of using both terrestrial laser scanner and open source processing algorithms to develop an approach to automate the evaluation of the alignment of transportation infrastructure with public rights of way. In the second study, a new approach of LIDAR data processing is developed to determine the speed and distance of vehicles approaching and entering the passing zone for bicycles. The model develops a technique for analysing the motorist passing behavior in the natural driving environment using the data collected from real vehicle and bicycle maneuvers.

Download or read book Data Analytics for Smart Cities written by Amir Alavi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of smart cities is one of the most important challenges over the next few decades. Governments and companies are leveraging billions of dollars in public and private funds for smart cities. Next generation smart cities are heavily dependent on distributed smart sensing systems and devices to monitor the urban infrastructure. The smart sensor networks serve as autonomous intelligent nodes to measure a variety of physical or environmental parameters. They should react in time, establish automated control, and collect information for intelligent decision-making. In this context, one of the major tasks is to develop advanced frameworks for the interpretation of the huge amount of information provided by the emerging testing and monitoring systems. Data Analytics for Smart Cities brings together some of the most exciting new developments in the area of integrating advanced data analytics systems into smart cities along with complementary technological paradigms such as cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT). The book serves as a reference for researchers and engineers in domains of advanced computation, optimization, and data mining for smart civil infrastructure condition assessment, dynamic visualization, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), cyber-physical systems, and smart construction technologies. The chapters are presented in a hands-on manner to facilitate researchers in tackling applications. Arguably, data analytics technologies play a key role in tackling the challenge of creating smart cities. Data analytics applications involve collecting, integrating, and preparing time- and space-dependent data produced by sensors, complex engineered systems, and physical assets, followed by developing and testing analytical models to verify the accuracy of results. This book covers this multidisciplinary field and examines multiple paradigms such as machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, intelligent databases, knowledge acquisition, data visualization, high performance computing, and expert systems. The book explores new territory by discussing the cutting-edge concept of Big Data analytics for interpreting massive amounts of data in smart city applications.
