LATEST RESEARCH ON SMART CITY FRAMEWORKS

LATEST RESEARCH ON SMART CITY FRAMEWORKS

Our latest conference paper, “Dimensions and Attributes of Smart City Framework: Systematic Literature Review,” which is now published in the Developments and Applications in SmartRail, Traffic, and Transportation Engineering series (ICSTTE 2023). This research provides a comprehensive evaluation of smart city frameworks, focusing on the dimensions and attributes that are crucial for developing intelligent and sustainable urban environments.

Our study reviewed literature from 2014 to 2020, analyzing smart city parameters such as suprastructure, infrastructure, and infostructure. We explored how these elements, along with intelligent government services, can be optimized to better serve society. Our findings highlight the need for improved infrastructure and smarter city facilities, with government prioritizing public infrastructure as a key factor in realizing smart cities.

This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the essential components that make up smart cities, providing a conceptual diagram that simplifies the smart urban concept for policymakers and urban planners.

FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING IN GEOSPATIAL SCIENCE

This is a photo from exactly seven years ago when I was testing an algorithm I developed to create stereo image from a single photo. The tested image on the left is the original. The image on the right shows the local extrema and minimal pixel intersection based on the code I wrote myself. This was done using the Haskell functional programming language, among the fastest programming method available today. This work was conducted in our Photogrammetry lab at the National Space Institute, Denmark.

TRANSFORMING ASSET MANAGEMENT WITH GRAPH DATABASES

TRANSFORMING ASSET MANAGEMENT WITH GRAPH DATABASES

Our research, “Unleashing the Potential of Graph Database in Smart Asset Management: Enhancing Predictive Maintenance in Industry 4.0” explores into how graph databases can revolutionize predictive maintenance for smarter asset management.

In the era of Industry 4.0, managing massive amounts of data from various sources is a challenge. Our study highlights how graph databases, with their flexibility and scalability, can handle this complexity, making data more accessible and useful for predictive maintenance.

We explore the use of graph databases to store and analyze asset information, showcasing their ability to handle complex relationships and vast data volumes. This approach enhances predictive maintenance by providing more accurate and timely insights.

By integrating advanced technologies like big data, IoT, and AI, we pave the way for smarter, more efficient asset management. Our research demonstrates the potential of graph databases to support the dynamic needs of modern industries.

TRANSFORMING URBAN PLANNING WITH 3D TECH!

TRANSFORMING URBAN PLANNING WITH 3D TECH!

We’re pumped to share our latest research, “Analyzing Urban Spatial Distribution in 2D and 3D for Smart City Planning and Zoning,” published in Advances in Geoinformatics Technologies! This study tackles the exciting challenge of making our cities smarter and more efficient.

Cities are getting more complex with high-rise buildings, underground utilities, and diverse land uses. We used both 2D and 3D models to get a clearer picture of urban development, making it easier to plan and zone effectively.

We employed nearest-neighbor analysis to uncover spatial patterns and clustering. Our findings show that 3D models provide way more detail and accuracy than traditional 2D models, revolutionizing how we visualize and plan urban spaces.

This game-changing approach helps urban planners make smarter decisions for sustainable growth. By integrating advanced geospatial techniques, we’re paving the way for resilient, future-ready cities.

Check out our full study here: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-50848-6_18

Let’s build smarter, greener cities together!
