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.

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!

MY RESEARCH ON THE METAVERSE – ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS THE FUTURE OF LEARNING

MY RESEARCH ON THE METAVERSE – ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS THE FUTURE OF LEARNING

My work on the “Virtual 3D Campus for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)” has been cited in the recent paper “UniverseSITy: Applied Learning in a University Metaverse” presented at the International Workshop on Advanced Imaging Technology (IWAIT 2024).

So, what is the metaverse? The metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, merging virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual spaces. It’s where digital and physical realities meet, allowing us to engage in ways we’ve only imagined in science fiction.

In practical terms, the metaverse can revolutionize education by providing immersive learning environments. Imagine attending a lecture, conducting experiments, or collaborating with peers from around the world—all in a virtual setting that feels just like being there in person.

However, it’s challenging to convince the older generation in academia about the metaverse. Their understanding often limits to just the digital world, but the metaverse is so much more—it’s an immersive and interactive experience that has the potential to revolutionize education and beyond. It’s fascinating to see how it can transform the way we learn, work, and interact.

But I hope to see positive growth in the understanding and acceptance of the metaverse among my academic circle in the near future. Better late than never.

For more insights into how the metaverse is shaping the future of education and to learn more about my work, feel free to contact me or explore my research further.

3D TREE MODELLING FOR LESS NOISE

Announcing our latest publication, “Improving Traffic-noise-mitigation Strategies with LiDAR-based 3D Tree-canopy Analysis,” in Geomatics and Environmental Engineering journal (Vol. 18, No. 3, 2024)! This groundbreaking study explores how trees can be our green heroes, reducing traffic noise naturally.

Our team used cutting-edge LiDAR technology to create 3D models of tree canopies. We analyzed how trees’ leaves and structures absorb traffic noise.

We developed a new equation to measure noise reduction, integrating it with existing models. Our findings show that trees can reduce traffic noise by 1 to 3 dB(A).

LiDAR-based 3D visualizations provide accurate data for better urban planning. Tree belts and dense planting schemes are particularly effective in noise mitigation.

Our discoveries pave the way for greener, quieter urban spaces. Imagine strolling down a city street with less noise and more peace—thanks to thoughtful tree planting!

The full study here: https://doi.org/10.7494/geom.2024.18.3.81. 

Join us in celebrating the power of nature and technology to improve urban living. Let’s make our cities not just smarter, but also greener and more serene!
