A Computer Vision-Based Roadside Occupation Surveillance System for Intelligent Transport in Smart Cities

In digital and green city initiatives, smart mobility is a key aspect of developing smart cities and it is important for built-up areas worldwide. Double-parking and busy roadside activities such as frequent loading and unloading of trucks, have a negative impact on traffic situations, especially in cities with high transportation density. Hence, a real-time internet of things (IoT)-based system for surveillance of roadside loading and unloading bays is needed. In this paper, a fully integrated solution is developed by equipping high-definition smart cameras with wireless communication for traffic surveillance. Henceforth, this system is referred to as a computer vision-based roadside occupation surveillance system (CVROSS). Through a vision-based network, real-time roadside traffic images, such as images of loading or unloading activities, are captured automatically. By making use of the collected data, decision support on roadside occupancy and vacancy can be evaluated by means of fuzzy logic and visualized for users, thus enhancing the transparency of roadside activities. The CVROSS was designed and tested in Hong Kong to validate the accuracy of parking-gap estimation and system performance, aiming at facilitating traffic and fleet management for smart mobility.

Smart Mobility

Every day, we are stepping towards to lead a smart life within a smart world, thanks of IoT smart applications. The continually need for new urban systems including smart infrastructures, smart energy grids and smart mobility systems makes appear of a new concept, named: “Smart City”. This concept represents one of the most promising challenges of IoT applications since it involves the enhancement of our lifestyle. Among its promising advantage we can cites: the reducing resource consumption, the real-time guidance for citizens, the transportation facilities, etc. In this paper, we propose, first, a literature review on researches addressing many aspects of Smart City. Second, we provide a comparative study between these researches on the basic of multiple criteria like interoperability, scalability, security, etc.

The Government

This research was conducted to determine the efforts made by the Yogyakarta city government to realize a good mobility system to overcome the congestion that occurs, one of which is at the Janti intersection, Yogyakarta. In its implementation as a breakdown of congestion, it is necessary to know the extent to which the effectiveness and impact arising from the construction of the Janti fly over. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research that presents factual and systematic data. Data collection is done by observation and literature review in order to dig up information and process and draw conclusions as a qualitative research method. The urgency of the embodiment of smart cities in other cities in Indonesia is the imbalance of population growth with the development of industrialization. Technology-based smart mobility systems are designed to regulate the movement of public transportation and traffic management in a city. The application of information technology aims to have a smooth and convenient impact on traffic. The results of this study explain that the Janti fly over is the primary arterial road that connects the three Janti intersections. This development has an effect on traffic circulation, which is reducing the level of vehicle density and congestion. Not only the positive impact but the negative impact is also felt by residents who live around the fly over, especially since since 2017 the road closure has been put under the Janti fly over.The results of this study can certainly be an evaluation material for the government in reviewing the application of policies that have been made. Given the social and economic impacts that occur due to the construction and closure of the road under the Janti fly over.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui upaya yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Kota Yogyakarta untuk mewujudkan system mobilitas yang baik guna mengatasi kemacetan yang terjadi salah satunya di persimpangan Janti, Yogyakarta. Dalam implementasinya sebagai pengurai kemacetan, perlu diketahui sejauh mana efektivitas dan dampak yang ditimbulkan dari pembangunan fly over Janti. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang menyajikan data factual dan sistematis. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi dan tinjauan literature guna menggali informasi dan mengolah lalu menarik kesimpulan sebagaimana metode penelitian kualitatif dilakukan. Urgensi perwujudan kota cerdas di kota-kota lainnya di Indonesia adalah tidak seimbangnya pertumbuhan konsentrasi penduduk dengan perkembangan industrialisasi. System smart mobility yang berbasis teknologi dirancang untuk mengatur pergerakan transportasi public dan traffic management suatu kota. Penerapan teknologi informasi ini bertujuan untuk memberikan dampak kelancaran dan kenyamanan dalam berlalu lintas. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa fly over Janti merupakan jalan arteri primer yang menjadi penghubung simpang tiga Janti. Pembangunan ini berpengaruh pada sirkulasi lalu lintas yaitu pengurangan tingkat kepadatan kendaraan dan kemacetan. Tak hanya dampak positif namun dampak negative juga dirasakan warga yang bermukim di sekitar fly over terlebih setelah sejak tahun 2017 mulai diberlakukan penutupan jalan di bawah fly over Janti. Hasil dari penelitian ini tentunya bisa menjadi bahan evaluasi bagi pemerintah dalam mengkaji penerapan kebijakan yang telah dibuat. Mengingat dampak sosial dan ekonomi yang terjadi akibat adanya pembangunan dan penutupan jalan di bawah fly over Janti tersebut.

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.
