The effect of transport-related pollution on human health is fast becoming recognised as a major issue in cities worldwide. Cyclists, in particular, face great risks, as they typically are most exposed to tail-pipe emissions. Three avenues…
These last years with the growing population in the smart city demands an efficient transportation sharing (bike sharing) system for developing the smart city. The Bike sharing as we know is affordable, easily accessible and reliable mode…
Combining the advantages of standard bicycles and electrified vehicles, electric bikes (e-Bikes) are promising vehicles to reduce emission and traffic. The current literature on e-Bikes ranges from works on the energy management to the…
The development of smart cities requires innovative sensing solutions for efficient and low-cost urban environment monitoring. Bike-sharing systems, with their wide coverage, flexible mobility, and dense urban distribution, present a…
In recent years, an increasing number of shared E-bikes have been rolling out rapidly in our cities. It therefore becomes important to understand new behaviour patterns of the cyclists in using these E-bikes as a foundation for the novel…
Bike usage in Smart Cities becomes paramount for sustainable urban development. Cycling provides tremendous opportunities for a more healthy lifestyle, lower energy consumption and carbon emissions as well as reduction of traffic jams.…
Pollution in urban centres is becoming a major societal problem. While pollution is a concern for all urban dwellers, cyclists are one of the most exposed groups due to their proximity to vehicle tailpipes. Consequently, new solutions are…
Cycling power measurement is an indispensable metric with profound implications for cyclists' performance and fitness levels. It empowers riders with real-time feedback, supports precise training regimen planning, mitigates injury risks,…
This work presents an innovative, multidisciplinary and cost-effective ecosystem of ICT solutions able to collect, process and distribute geo-referenced information about the influence of pollution and micro-climatic conditions on the…
Traffic-related pollution is becoming a major societal problem globally. Cyclists are particularly exposed to this form of pollution due to their proximity to vehicles' tailpipes. In a number of recent studies, it is been shown that…
The advancing deployment of ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT)-powered vehicle detection and classification systems will successively turn the existing road infrastructure into a highly dynamical and interconnected Cyber-physical System…
This paper introduces RobotCycle, a novel ongoing project that leverages Autonomous Vehicle (AV) research to investigate how road infrastructure influences cyclist behaviour and safety during real-world journeys. The project's requirements…
A smart city is a framework that uses information and communication technologies to improve public safety, quality of life, transportation and energy efficiency. A big share of these technologies has intelligent networks consisting of…
Digital Twins promise to deliver a step-change in distribution system operations and planning, but there are few real-world examples that explore the challenges of combining imperfect model and measurement data, and then use these as the…
Bicycle infrastructure networks must meet the needs of cyclists to position cycling as a viable transportation choice in cities. In particular, protected infrastructure should be planned cohesively for the whole city and spacious enough to…
As a healthier and more sustainable way of mobility, cycling has been advocated by literature and policy. However, current trends in bicyclist crash fatalities suggest deficiencies in current roadway design in protecting these vulnerable…
We study an urban bike lane planning problem based on the fine-grained bike trajectory data, which is made available by smart city infrastructure such as bike-sharing systems. The key decision is where to build bike lanes in the existing…
This paper is concerned with the design of a human-in-the-loop system for deployment on a smart pedelec (e-bike). From the control-theoretic perspective, the goal is not only to use the power assistance of the e-bike to reject disturbances…
Bike-sharing systems have emerged as a significant element of urban mobility, providing an environmentally friendly transportation alternative. With the increasing integration of electric bikes alongside mechanical bikes, it is crucial to…
In future traffic scenarios, vehicles and other traffic participants will be interconnected and equipped with various types of sensors, allowing for cooperation based on data or information exchange. This article presents an approach to…
