Abstract
In recent years, people have pursued smarter and faster options for fast-paced modern
lifestyles. This is in response to many technologies that have recently emerged. Vehicle
tracking systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is one of these. This
chapter aims to examine the IoT-based cutting-edge vehicular tracking systems. For
this purpose, 30 peer-reviewed research publications, from 2014 to 2018, were
selected and raw data was extracted. Selection was based on certain critical parameters
such as: measuring attributes of the moving vehicle, sensors and actuators used for
data obtaining in tracking devices, data transferring methods for transmission,
networks and protocols utilized for communication, utilized stock for data storage,
programming languages or systems, and algorithms utilized for raw data analysis. The
investigation demonstrated that (i) a large portion of the IoT sensors and actuators
were centered on the primary location tracking system in cloud data centers that can
be handled remotely by retrieving real-time data, (ii) The GPS sensors widely use in
vehicle tracking systems were based on the RFID technology, (iii) Wi-Fi networks were
the most popular networks while GSM/GPRS and TCP/UDP protocols were the best
transport layer protocols, (iv) most used storage method was observed as the cloud for
smart vehicle tracking systems, and (v) Kalman filter was the most popular algorithm
in vehicular tracking systems. Moreover, the most critical advantage of using IoT for
tracking systems was the effectiveness, security, and intrusion of protection for the
passengers. The security administration could monitor students by remotely tracking
their RFID sensor tags or any IoT sensor embedded in the tracking unit. This chapter
also reviews and provides relevant information for road traffic officers and related
experts, correspondence technologists, and technological innovation researchers on
the IoT-based smart vehicle tracking frameworks.

... As a result, several nations are either implementing or considering the concept of ITS. 2 The Internet of Things (IoT) is essential to every aspect of ITS, which is made up of smart devices connected to one another. Some of the IoT-based traffic monitoring applications [3][4][5] include accident warnings, congestion prevention, automatic navigation, surveillance, and missing person investigations. 6,7 Among them, road traffic congestion has grown to be a major issue in urban areas since it affects the operational effectiveness of urban traffic systems. ...

Several autonomous traffic monitoring systems have been created as a result of the growing number of vehicles in urban areas. Traffic surveillance systems that use roadside cameras, in particular, are becoming widely used for traffic management. For an efficient traffic control and vehicle navigation system, accurate traffic flow information must be obtained based on the vehicles detected in surveillance videos. However, vehicles of various scales are difficult to spot in traffic surveillance videos due to the presence of barricades, other vehicles, and the impact of poor lighting. Also, adverse weather conditions like snow, fog, and heavy rain diminish the visual quality of the surveillance footage. This paper proposes multi‐scale dense nested deep CNN (MSDN‐DCNN) and regional search grasshopper optimization algorithm (RS‐GOA) framework to accurately detect the vehicles, estimate the traffic flow, and find the optimal path with less travel time. First, the surveillance videos are pre‐processed, which includes frame conversion, redundancy removal, and image enhancement. The pre‐processed frames are given as input to the MSDN‐DCNN for multi‐scale vehicle detection. The detected results are used for vehicle counting and estimating the traffic flow. Finally, the optimal path is chosen based on the traffic flow information by using the RS‐GOA algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the existing vehicle detection and path selection techniques. The results illustrate that the proposed Deep CNN‐RS‐GOA framework has improved performance with high detection accuracy (91.03%), high speed (53.9 fps), less running time (1,000 ms), less travel time, and faster convergence.
... Wang et al., 2021, state that a typical IoT platform is an integrated system capable of supporting hundreds of millions of simultaneous device communications to generate large amount of data to be transferred and processed in cloud computing. In addition, according to (Fernando et al., 2020;Hamid et al., 2020;Rahul et al., 2020), a typical IoT platform contains four main components, as shown in Figure 6, all of which are concerned with the IoT autonomous vehicle platform: Smart sensors and hardware devices are important components that collect various data types from the real world, as well as a communication network component that is typically built on wireless technology, namely cellular technologies (3G, 4G, and 5G) or Wi-Fi, and a big data component that represents the amount of data being generated; this data should be transmitted, stored, and processed; and the cloud component where the data will be stored and processed because it provides some processing, analytics, and storage services. As reviewed by Da Xu et al., 2014, traditional IoT applications are hosted in the cloud and can provide input and make choices for physical systems. ...

As more people drive vehicles, there is a corresponding increase in the number of deaths and injuries that happen due to road traffic accidents. Thus, various solutions have been proposed to reduce the impact of accidents. One of the most popular solutions is autonomous driving, which involves a series of embedded systems. These embedded systems assist drivers by providing crucial information on the traffic environment or by acting to protect the vehicle occupants in particular situations or to aid driving. Autonomous driving has the capacity to improve transportation services dramatically. Given the successful use of visual technologies and the implementation of driver assistance systems in recent decades, vehicles are prepared to eliminate accidents, congestion, collisions, and pollution. In addition, the IoT is a state-of-the-art invention that will usher in the new age of the Internet by allowing different physical objects to connect without the need for human interaction. The accuracy with which the vehicle's environment is detected from static images or videos, as well as the IoT connections and data management, is critical to the success of autonomous driving.

The expansion of technology in metropolitan centers draws people to cities, which causes excessive traffic on the roadways during peak hours. This exacerbated the traffic situation, resulting in a delay, a loss of resources, and a waste of time. Like any other metropolitan metropolis, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has everyday traffic congestion during business hours. The current traffic management has made many attempts to ease traffic congestion in cities; despite these measures, the problem has not been solved adequately. To handle this road congestion, there is a need to appropriately store the big data collected by traffic sensors and utilize it for efficient traffic management employing cutting-edge technology. This study provides an architecture for a smart traffic management system that uses modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, 5G, and big data to aid conventional traffic management systems and efficiently handle the stated problem. The proposed technique has the potential to reduce traffic congestion significantly. Our proposed solution encourages mobility by using roadside messaging agents to offer real-time traffic information on traffic congestion and unexpected traffic incidents. Citizens will save time by getting these early warning messages, particularly during peak hours. As part of the suggested method, each signal dashboard gets traffic information. A case study is used in the research to evaluate alternative solutions to traffic congestion. The case study results show that the proposed strategy outperforms the present options.

Fog computing is an advantageous concept that works in consonance with cloud computing to enhance user experience. It presents innumerable benefits such as low latency, bandwidth saving, and location awareness. But, just being opportunistic towards the platform without checking it for security is not at all justifiable. As more and more sensitive data flows through the fog layer, it becomes mandatory to examine it for security. The fog nodes being closer to the user end are highly vulnerable to being malicious. There exists a possibility that a faulty fog node tries to tamper the data generated from the Internet of things (IoT) device layer and restrains the other functioning nodes to operate upon a common perceived value. In this regard, the authors have proposed the FogBus3 framework that guarantees reliable results from the fog level even in the presence of faulty fog nodes. The proposed framework adds a job categorization mechanism and a reliability ensuring IoT‐Fog Agreement Algorithm (IFAA) to the fog layer. The proposed framework has been thoroughly examined with the help of a working example and simulated through MATLAB R2021a. Further, the scenario has been tested before and after implementation of the proposed algorithm on the basis of execution time. Experimental results show that FogBus3's IFAA algorithm improves the execution time of the said setup by 41%. FogBus3 has also been evaluated for its scalability and is believed to ensure reliability in the said scenario.

Before the principal vehicle was created by Henry Ford in 1908, all shipments were dealt with via carriage and ponies. Organizations needed to battle with low security and helpless proficiency utilizing these strategies. At the point when the vehicles began to show up in the business sectors and on streets, individuals began utilizing them for the conveyance of merchandise. It brought about a lesser opportunity to transport items and decreased coordinations costs. Later toward the finish of the twentieth century, coordinations encountered a sensational change that changed the conveyance interaction: coordinations programming. From that point forward, innovation has assumed control over the execution and arranging of different errands, including administrative work and manual work process, while getting weak data. Innovation is constantly upsetting the coordinations area and changing the way how cargo, deals orders, materials, merchandise, creation and stock are overseen. Organizations consistently search for an answer that can carry insight to the coordinations tasks work process and assist with diminishing significant expenses. As speed, insight and proficiency turned into the critical deciding elements; the coordinations area has embraced arising advancements, including AI, IoT and blockchain, to fulfill the rising need and manage complex cycles.

Most visual privacy protection methods only hide the identity information of the face images, but the expression, behavior and some other information, which are of great significant in the live broadcast and other scenarios, are also destroyed by the privacy protection process. To this end, this paper introduces a method to remove the identity information while preserving the expression information by performing multi-mode discriminant analysis on the images normalized with AAM algorithm. The face images are decomposed into mutually orthogonal subspaces corresponding to face attributes such as gender, race and expression, each of which owns related characteristic parameters. Then, the expression parameter is preserves to keep the facial expression information while others parameters, including gender and race, are modified to protect face privacy. The experiments show that this method yields well performance on both data utility and privacy protection.

Low-cost drones are emerging on the horizon of novel smart Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. Researchers in cloud robotics have recently pushed for the integration of low-cost robots and drones in the cloud and IoT. However, the performance of real-time cloud robotics systems remains a fundamental challenge that demands further investigation. In this paper, we present DroneTrack, a real-time object tracking system involving a drone that follows a moving object over the Internet. DroneTrack uses the Dronemap Planner (DP) cloud-based system to control, manage, and communicate with drones over the Internet. The main contributions of this work consist of: (i.) the development and deployment of DroneTrack, a real-time object tracking application using the DP cloud platform, and (ii.) a comprehensive experimental evaluation of its real-time performance. We note that DroneTrack does not use computer vision techniques; rather, it relies on the exchange of GPS locations through the cloud. Three scenarios are presented for conducting various experiments with real and simulated drones. A tracking accuracy of 3.5 meters on average is achieved by DroneTrack with slow-speed moving targets. Our experimental study demonstrates the effectiveness of the DroneTrack system.

Vehicular applications in smart cities, including assisted and autonomous driving, require complex data processing and low-latency communication. An effective approach to address these demands is to leverage the edge computing paradigm, wherein processing and storage resources are placed at access points of the vehicular network, i.e., at roadside units (RSUs). Deploying edge computing devices for vehicular applications in urban scenarios presents two major challenges. First, it is difficult to ensure continuous wireless connectivity between vehicles and RSUs, especially in dense urban areas with many buildings. Second, edge computing devices have limited processing resources compared to the cloud, thereby requiring careful network planning to meet the computational and latency requirements of vehicular applications. This article specifically addresses these challenges. In particular, it targets efficient deployment of edge computing devices in an urban scenario, subject to application-specific quality of service constraints. To this end, this article introduces a mixed integer linear programming formulation to minimize the deployment cost of edge devices by jointly satisfying a target level of network coverage and computational demand. The proposed approach is able to accurately model complex urban environments with many buildings and a large number of vehicles. Furthermore, this article presents a simple yet effective heuristic to deploy edge computing devices based on the knowledge of road traffic in the target deployment area. The devised methods are evaluated by extensive simulations with data from the city of Dublin. The obtained results show that the proposed solutions can effectively guarantee a target application-specific quality of service in realistic conditions.
