Public transport networks(PTNs)are difficult to use when the user is unfamiliar with the area they are traveling to.This is true for both infrequent users(including visitors)and regular users who need to travel to areas with which they are…

This paper shows that the deployment of an opportunistic network on any public transportation system leads to obtain a scalable and efficient urban communication platform. We use the term Bus Switched Networks (BSNs) to indicate this urban…

Independent navigation is a core aspect of maintaining social participation and individual health for vulnerable populations. While historic cities such as Edinburgh, as the capital of Scotland, often feature well-established public…

People with visual impairments struggle with urban mobility and independent travel, opening up opportunities for technological advances to improve their quality of life. The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an essential role in bringing…

Studies on public transportation in Europe suggest that European inhabitants use buses in ca. 56% of all public transport travels. One of the critical factors affecting such a percentage and more, in general, the demand for public transport…

This paper proposes a design for a hybrid, city-wide urban navigation system for moving agents demanding dedicated assistance. The hybrid system combines GPS and vehicle-to-vehicle communication from an ad-hoc network of parked cars, and…

Thanks to rapid advances in technologies like GPS and Wi-Fi positioning, smartphone users are able to determine their location almost everywhere they go. This is not true, however, of people who are traveling in underground public…

Navigating complex urban environments using natural language instructions poses significant challenges for embodied agents, including noisy language instructions, ambiguous spatial references, diverse landmarks, and dynamic street scenes.…

The maintenance of big cities public transport service quality requires constant monitoring, which may become an expensive and time-consuming practice. The perception of quality, from the users point of view is an important aspect of…

The idea of modern urban systems and smart cities requires monitoring and careful analysis of different signals. Such signals can originate from different sources and one of the most promising is the BTS, i.e. base transceiver station, an…

Over 43 million people worldwide live with severe visual impairment, facing significant challenges in navigating unfamiliar environments. We present MR.NAVI, a mixed reality system that enhances spatial awareness for visually impaired users…

An important problem in creating efficient public transport is obtaining data about the set of trips that passengers make, usually referred to as an Origin/Destination (OD) matrix. Obtaining this data is problematic and expensive in…

Nowadays many cities around the world have introduced electric buses to optimize urban traffic and reduce local carbon emissions. In order to cut carbon emissions and maximize the utility of electric buses, it is important to choose…

Location-aware networks will enable new services and applications in fields such as autonomous driving, smart cities, and the Internet-of-Things. One promising solution for ubiquitous localization is network localization and navigation…

Web accessibility is actually the most important aspect for providing access to information and interaction for people with disabilities. However, it seems that the ability of users with disabilities to navigate over the Web is not…

This paper presents a wearable assistive device with the shape of a pair of eyeglasses that allows visually impaired people to navigate safely and quickly in unfamiliar environment, as well as perceive the complicated environment to…

As modern transportation systems become more complex, there is need for mobile applications that allow travelers to navigate efficiently in cities. In taxi transport the recent proliferation of Uber has introduced new norms including a…

Public transportation plays a critical role in people's daily life. It has been proven that public transportation is more environmentally sustainable, efficient, and economical than any other forms of travel. However, due to the increasing…

Urban air mobility (UAM) has the potential to revolutionize transportation in metropolitan areas, providing a new mode of transportation that could alleviate congestion and improve accessibility. However, the integration of UAM into…

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) cover a variety of services related to topics such as traffic control and safe driving, among others. In the context of car insurance, a recent application for ITS is known as Usage-Based Insurance…
