Summary

Safer built environment and smart cities have been the goal of many modern cities. The built environment includes 5 stages: urban planning, construction, occupation, demolition and renewal stage. Computer modelling aids safer urban planning by utilizing geographical information, artificial intelligence such as computer vision allows construction industry detects any risks on construction sites and demolition works. In occupation stage, property management allows camera to detect any strangers enter the buildings to enhance safety in buildings. In this special issue, we wish to shed light on the role of computer modelling in safer built environment and smart cities. Papers including but not limited to:


-Artificial intelligence modelling for construction safety
-Artificial neural network for building safety
-TinyML for built environment
-Digital Twins and computer modelling for the construction industry
-Building information modelling for safer built environment
-Smart cities modelling for safer built environment
-Smart urban planning by using computer vision modelling
-Natural Language Modelling for smart and safe cities analysis
-Ways to lower the safety risks at work in different stages of built environment
-Robot safety via computer modelling

    3D Road Network Modeling and Road Structure Recognition in Internet of Vehicles

    Dun Cao, Jia Ru, Jian Qin, Amr Tolba, Jin Wang, Min Zhu
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.2, pp. 1365-1384, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030260

    Abstract Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a new system that enables individual vehicles to connect with nearby vehicles, people, transportation infrastructure, and networks, thereby realizing a more intelligent and efficient transportation system. The movement of vehicles and the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the road network cause the topological structure of IoV to have the high space and time complexity. Network modeling and structure recognition for 3D roads can benefit the description of topological changes for IoV. This paper proposes a 3D general road model based on discrete points of roads obtained from GIS. First, the constraints… More >

    Predicting Carpark Prices Indices in Hong Kong Using AutoML

    Rita Yi Man Li, Lingxi Song, Bo Li, M. James C. Crabbe, Xiao-Guang Yue
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.134, No.3, pp. 2247-2282, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020930

    Abstract The aims of this study were threefold: 1) study the research gap in carpark and price index via big data and natural language processing, 2) examine the research gap of carpark indices, and 3) construct carpark price indices via repeat sales methods and predict carpark indices via the AutoML. By researching the keyword “carpark” in Google Scholar, the largest electronic academic database that covers Web of Science and Scopus indexed articles, this study obtained 999 articles and book chapters from 1910 to 2019. It confirmed that most carpark research threw light on multi-storey carparks, management… More >
