A Proposed IoT-Based Bike Sharing System in Erbil City

urrently, many countries are faced with many problems regarding the environment and the destruction to the planet’s natural resources. In the long run, this will have a devastating effect on the well-being of mankind. As technology advances, and cities become over-populated, the damaging effects of air pollution, noise pollution, carbon monoxide from machinery and overcrowding could very well destroy the planet if countries don’t take measures to minimise this damage, and focus on boosting biodiversity and fighting climate change, thereby making the city a healthier place for everyone. Many countries have implemented the bike sharing system to solve some of the problems caused by mechanised transportation. In this paper, an IoT-based bike sharing docked system is proposed for the city of Erbil. This proposal has looked at expected challenges and solutions

The Shared Bicycle and Its Network—Internet of Shared Bicycle (IoSB): A Review and Survey

With the expansion of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in smart cities, the shared bicycle has developed quickly as a new green public transportation mode, and is changing the travel habits of citizens heavily across the world, especially in China. The purpose of the current paper is to provide an inclusive review and survey on shared bicycle besides its benefits, history, brands and comparisons. In addition, it proposes the concept of the Internet of Shared Bicycle (IoSB) for the first time, as far as we know, to find a feasible solution for those technical problems of the shared bicycle. The possible architecture of IoSB in our opinion is presented, as well as most of key IoT technologies, and their capabilities to merge into and apply to the different parts of IoSB are introduced. Meanwhile, some challenges and barriers to IoSB’s implementation are expressed thoroughly too. As far as the advice for overcoming those barriers be concerned, the IoSB’s potential aspects and applications in smart city with respect to technology development in the future provide another valuable further discussion in this paper

High-level Architecture and Compelling Technologies for an Advanced Web-based Vehicle Routing and Scheduling System for Urban Freight Transportation

The search for a more efficient routing and scheduling, the improvement of service’s level and the increasing complexity of real-world distributive contexts are contingent variables that generate the need for a system’s architecture that may be holistic, innovative, scalable and reliable. Hence, new technologies and a lucid awareness of involved actors and infrastructures, provide the basis to create a more efficient routing and scheduling architecture for enterprises
