Abstract

This paper presents an in-depth overview of the Bluetooth 5.1 Direction Finding standards potentials, thanks to enhancing the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) firmware. This improvement allows producers to create location applications based on the Angle of Departure (AoD) and the Angle of Arrival (AoA). Accordingly, it is conceivable to design proper Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS), for instance, for the traceability of resources, assets, and people. First of all, Radio Frequency (RF) radiogoniometry techniques, helpful in calculating AoA and AoD angles, are introduced in this paper. Subsequently, the topic relating to signal direction estimation is deepened. The Bluetooth Core Specification updates concerning version 5.1, both at the packet architecture and prototyping levels, are also reported. Some suitable platforms and development kits for running the new features are then presented, and some basic applications are illustrated. This papers final part allows ascertaining the improvement made by this new definition of BLE and possible future developments, especially concerning applications related to devices, assets, or peoples indoor localization. Some preliminary results gathered in a real evaluation scenario are also presented.

Abstract

The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has now reached some entirely unexpected domains. Many applications in modern cities lead to novelties, resulting in new habits of the citizens of tomorrow's smart cities. These innovations include Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). An important application domain of ITS is undoubtedly represented by the dynamic and optimized management of traffic-lighted road intersections. Although several works have already been presented in the literature over the years, many have not considered the new perspectives regarding the source of data to manage traffic lights, i.e., not only Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), but, mainly, the vehicular communications. This paper introduces an innovative approach to dynamically regulating traffic light cycles and phases in an isolated intersection. The suggested method can fit data management from WSNs and vehicular communications through IEEE 802.11p and LTE-V2V, employing various Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) that manage vehicles turning movements for dynamic controls of both the phase and the green time of traffic lights. The results obtained will allow us to observe that the proposed application is better than the others. Each of the implemented configurations will bring advantages and disadvantages that allow choosing one configuration or another based on specific project requirements., Author(s): Fabio Arena [1]; Giovanni Pau [1]; Anca Ralescu [2]; Alessandro Severino (corresponding author) [3]; Ilsun You [4] 1.

Abstract

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) represent an class of antibiotics of medical importance, but their use has been restricted due to their ecologic impact and associated side effects. The reduction of FQs use is an important goal of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP). This work describes an ASP focused on overall antibiotics and FQs consumption reduction. From January 2021, an ASP was implemented in a 700-bed teaching hospital. The ASP was based on: (i) antibiotics consumption monitoring system (DDD/100 bed days); (ii) mandatory antibiotic prescription-motivation (using a dedicated informatic format) with the goal of >75% of motivated prescriptions; and (iii) data feedback and training on FQs use indications. We evaluated the impact of the intervention on overall systemic antibiotics and FQs consumption according to the objectives posed by Italian PNCAR (National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance). A decrease of 6.6% in antibiotic use was observed (2019 vs. 2021). Notably, the FQs consumption fell by 48.3% from 7.1 DDD/100 bd in 2019 to 3.7 DDD/100 bd in 2021 (p < 0.001). After six months of mandatory antibiotic prescription-indication, all units achieved the target set. The study suggests that a simple, bundled ASP intervention can be rapidly effective obtaining the objectives of PNCAR on the reduction of overall antibiotics and FQs consumption.

Abstract

Increasing traffic demands in urban areas lead to higher risks of accidents and car crashes, constituting a treat for road users like drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Intersections are a sensitive part of the road infrastructure, due to the conflict points caused by traffic flows with different directions. Latest technology allows the management of intersections thanks to intelligent systems like Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM), along with other smart devices like CAVs, remote sensors, and optimization algorithms. Hence, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) provide a significant contribution in enhancing the safety levels in transportation infrastructures including road intersections. The implementation of these systems involve professionals of diverse backgrounds, spacing from civil to ICT engineering, and even to social, behavioral and financial studies. ITS still present some weaknesses that prevent them from becoming widespread and of common use, mainly related to costs and required computational power. Future research could be directed towards the development and refinement of algorithms, but also to the production of new sophisticated hardware and construction systems for road infrastructures.

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be tracked back to the 70s and has become more widespread over the last decades, expanding from residential projects to other sectors like transportation infrastructure; its application ranges from the design phase to maintenance management and operation control, providing enriched models with data that can be exchanged among professionals of different industries. Thanks to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technology it is possible to collect technical data for transportation infrastructure, along with an efficient control of transportation systems like traffic flows with sophisticated algorithms. BIM and ITS can be combined together and further implemented with other technologies like Geographic Information System (GIS); this can be done thanks to IT tools like Unified Modelling Language (UML). The integration of BIM with ITS, especially if considered within a larger scheme like Smart Cities or smart transportation networks, facilitates operations such as the management of Intelligent Road Intersections, monitoring structural safety of bridges, or managing the maintenance activities of airport runways.

Abstract

In last decades cities were subjected to an important increase of inhabitants, then significant changes occurred on communities livability related to several aspects as urban mobility and information management. In order to handle the rising demand recent technological innovations as IoT (Internet of Things) or ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) resulted to have a key role for an efficient and safe management. Then such process that makes cities able to ensure a high quality data management for citizens and equipped with technological devices lead to a concept named "|atSmart City". The latter has various definitions that changed in relation to specific studies that were carried out by researchers, however between various actors that characterizes a smart city a key role is represented by AVs (Autonomous Vehicles) that in recent years had a significant spread on market. AVs operation in addition with a smart city environment allows to achieves high quality standards in terms of urban mobility related to service quality and safety. It is possible to state that AVs operation and smart city environment are complementary, because AVs cannot obtain high performance levels without a context equipped with appropriate technological devices and smart cities have to guarantee an efficient and safe mobility to be considerate as such. In this paper it will be carried out an analysis of smart cities main characteristics and developments, taking into account mainly the relation with AVs spread and the benefits that the latter are able provide.

Abstract

COVID pandemic has abruptly changed people habits and lifestyles worldwide, including the usage and perception towards all the different transportation systems; to this date (mid-2021), the pandemic has been going on for over a year now, and there is still no certainty about when it will end. A drastic decline in the number of commercial flights both national and international has happened, as a consequence of the lockdown policies adopted by the various countries around the globe in order to prevent the infection from spreading around, and with variable trends depending on the period and the reciprocal agreements between the various states. Land-side public transportation too has witnessed a backlash mainly due to similar policies or even not leaving home during lockdowns, often working remotely from home, and switching from public transportation to driving, walking or cycling if necessary. COVID-19 and transport are linked by a two-way relationship: if it is true that COVID-19 impacts on transport systems, it is also true that transport systems, in turn, have a very important role in the spread of the pandemic. Swabs first and vaccines recently, are raising new hopes about the pandemic ending soon. The consequences of COVID-19 will in any case be significant, and will revolutionize the way of conceiving transport, meaning new challenges for scientific research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
