Abstract The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) holds transformative potential for real-time traffic monitoring, a critical component of emerging smart city infrastructure. UAVs offer unique advantages over stationary traffic cameras, including greater flexibility in monitoring large and dynamic urban areas. However, detecting small, densely packed vehicles in UAV imagery remains a significant challenge due to occlusion, variations in lighting, and the complexity of urban landscapes. Conventional models often struggle with these issues, leading to inaccurate detections and reduced performance in practical applications. To address these challenges, this paper introduces CFEMNet,… More >

Abstract Energy management is an inspiring domain in developing of renewable energy sources. However, the growth of decentralized energy production is revealing an increased complexity for power grid managers, inferring more quality and reliability to regulate electricity flows and less imbalance between electricity production and demand. The major objective of an energy management system is to achieve optimum energy procurement and utilization throughout the organization, minimize energy costs without affecting production, and minimize environmental effects. Modern energy management is an essential and complex subject because of the excessive consumption in residential buildings, which necessitates energy optimization… More >

Abstract In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has played a vital role in providing various services to users in a smart city. However, searching for services, objects, data, and frameworks remains a concern. The technological advancements in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) and the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) open a new era of research. Thus, we propose a Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSs) for service search. Herein, service search and object discovery operation carries with the suitable selection of friends in the network.
