The efficiency of traffic routing on complex networks can be reflected by two key measurements i.e. the system capacity and the average data packets travel time. In this paper, we propose a mixing routing strategy by integrating local…

This paper proposes a novel freight multimodal transport problem with buses and drones, where buses are responsible for transporting parcels to lockers at bus stops for storage, while drones are used to deliver each parcel from the locker…

This paper introduces the Robotability Score ($R$), a novel metric that quantifies the suitability of urban environments for autonomous robot navigation. Through expert interviews and surveys, we identify and weigh key features contributing…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) are likely to significantly increase the amount of air traffic. If the skies are full of UAVs, they need to interact with each other, for instance by yielding or other evasive maneuvers. The…

Problem definition: Drones, despite being acknowledged as a transformative force in the city logistics sector, are unable to execute the \textit{last-meter delivery} (unloading goods directly to customers' doorsteps) due to airspace…

The ability to predict traffic flow over time for crowded areas during rush hours is increasingly important as it can help authorities make informed decisions for congestion mitigation or scheduling of infrastructure development in an area.…

Nowadays the problem of traffic congestion is known as the main cause of air pollution in the cities of the world. Urban traffic engineers and managers have proposed three general approaches to dealing with this phenomenon. The first…

Many vehicles spend a significant amount of time in urban traffic congestion. Due to the evolution of autonomous cars, driver assistance systems, and in-vehicle entertainment, many vehicles have plentiful computational and communication…

Urban traffic attributed to commercial and industrial transportation is observed to largely affect living standards in cities due to external effects pertaining to pollution and congestion. In order to counter this, smart cities deploy…

Drones are currently seen as a viable way for improving the distribution of parcels in urban and rural environments, while working in coordination with traditional vehicles like trucks. In this paper we consider the parallel drone…

Drone delivery has been a hot topic in the industry in the past few years. However, existing approaches either focus on rural areas or rely on centralized drop-off locations from where the last mile delivery is performed. In this paper we…

We study the impact of global traffic light control strategies in a recently proposed cellular automaton model for vehicular traffic in city networks. The model combines basic ideas of the Biham-Middleton-Levine model for city traffic and…

The efficient computation of shortest paths in complex networks is essential to face new challenges related to critical infrastructures such as a near real-time monitoring and control and the management of big size systems. In particular,…

We model and study the problem of assigning traffic in an urban road network infrastructure. In our model, each driver submits their intended destination and is assigned a route to follow that minimizes the social cost (i.e., travel…

The problem to deal with in this project is the problem of routing electric vehicles, which consists of finding the best routes for this type of vehicle, so that they reach their destination, without running out of power and optimizing to…

Optimal management of traffic light timing is one of the most effective factors in reducing urban traffic. In most old systems, fixed timing was used along with human factors to control traffic, which is not very efficient in terms of time…

Urban Traffic Control (UTC) plays an essential role in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) but remains difficult. Since model-based UTC methods may not accurately describe the complex nature of traffic dynamics in all situations,…

Practical deployments of coordinated fleets of mobile robots in different environments have revealed the benefits of maintaining small distances between robots, especially as they move at higher speeds. However, this is counter-intuitive in…

Ensuring safe and efficient mobility is a critical issue for smart city operators. Increasing safety not only reduces the likelihood of road injuries and fatalities, but also reduces traffic congestion and disruptions caused by accidents,…

Wireless communications is nowadays an important aspect of robotics. There are many applications in which a robot must move to a certain goal point while transmitting information through a wireless channel which depends on the particular…
