SOA-Based Model for Value-Added ITS Services Delivery

Integration is currently a key factor in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), especially because of the ever increasing service demands originating from the ITS industry and ITS users. The current ITS landscape is made up of multiple technologies that are tightly coupled, and its interoperability is extremely low, which limits ITS services generation. Given this fact, novel information technologies (IT) based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm have begun to introduce new ways to address this problem. The SOA paradigm allows the construction of loosely coupled distributed systems that can help to integrate the heterogeneous systems that are part of ITS. In this paper, we focus on developing an SOA-based model for integrating information technologies (IT) into ITS to achieve ITS service delivery. To develop our model, the ITS technologies and services involved were identified, catalogued, and decoupled. In doing so, we applied our SOA-based model to integrate all of the ITS technologies and services, ranging from the lowest-level technical components, such as roadside unit as a service (RS S), to the most abstract ITS services that will be offered to ITS users (value-added services). To validate our model, a functionality case study that included all of the components of our model was designed

Specially, the SP includes digitally enhanced parking, smart routing, high density parking and vacant slot detection solutions. Moreover, the AVP involves Short-range Autonomous Valet Parking (SAVP) and Long-range Autonomous Valet Parking (LAVP). Finally, open issues and future work are provided

Sistem Peminjaman Sepeda Otomatis Berbasis Raspberry Pi Dan RFID

Current bicycle borrowing, generally still using manual system by using paper. In this study, UMS campus is a case study used as a bicycle lending model. Based on observations so far, bicycle lending system is still using traditional methods and has not been supported by computerized systems. This system has several weaknesses, one of which is not effective in data management, because it still uses paper as the identity of the borrower which lead to vulnerability to data loss due to weakness of data security. With this problem, the authors have a motivation about a system that is able to facilitate in improving efficiently, namely by utilizing the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) on the bicycle lending system as an alternative. The purpose of this study is to facilitate in managing data on bicycle borrowing, both bicycle data, data borrowers and flatecord as a bicycle loan report and minimize the occurrence of missing data. The device used, among others, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) as a simulation of a key system model, Raspberry Pi as its main controller, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) playsa role assisting management of input data into the database of bicycle lending system and a website as interface. Testing is done by using card tag on RFID to process input data on Raspberry Pi, then simulated by using LED and borrower data is displayed in a web and Raspberrry pi is connected using Local Are Network (LAN) cable with PC admin. The results of the research obtained the conclusion that the bicycle lending system by utilizing Raspberry pi devices, RFID, LED and LAN cable making it easier and more efficient than the manual or paper system

Internet of Things-aided Smart Grid: Technologies, Architectures, Applications, Prototypes, and Future Research Directions

Traditional power grids are being transformed into Smart Grids (SGs) to address the issues in existing power system due to uni-directional information flow, energy wastage, growing energy demand, reliability and security. SGs offer bi-directional energy flow between service providers and consumers, involving power generation, transmission, distribution and utilization systems. SGs employ various devices for the monitoring, analysis and control of the grid, deployed at power plants, distribution centers and in consumers' premises in a very large number. Hence, an SG requires connectivity, automation and the tracking of such devices. This is achieved with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT helps SG systems to support various network functions throughout the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy by incorporating IoT devices (such as sensors, actuators and smart meters), as well as by providing the connectivity, automation and tracking for such devices. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on IoT-aided SG systems, which includes the existing architectures, applications and prototypes of IoT-aided SG systems. This survey also highlights the open issues, challenges and future research directions for IoT-aided SG systems
