Traffic congestion is a critical issue not only in all major cities but also in many rural areas of India. One of the most dangerous side effects of traffic congestion is the unnecessary delay of emergency vehicles. There are several approaches to managing traffic, including wireless sensornetworks, inductive loop detection, video data processing, and infrared sensors which are successful strategies for intelligent traffic management. However, the issue with these systems is that they are incredibly expensive to install, maintain, and take a long time to implement. In this paper, we propose a novel method of traffic management along with pedestrian crossing that uses Fuzzy Logic based on lane density which is sensitive to emergency vehicle in traffic. This method, when used in conjunction with the current signalling system, can be the answer to effective real-time traffic control. When compared to current techniques of reducing traffic congestion, this new plan will be easier to implement and cost less.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely deployed in efficient data collection for Internet of Things (IoT). UAV can not only act as a relay, but also as an energy source to provide information and energy transmission for ground sensor nodes (SNs). This paper studies the efficient multi-UAV-assisted data collection problem in wireless powered IoT. Specifically multiple UAVs wirelessly charge SNs using radio frequency (RF) energy transfer, and the SNs then use the harvested energy to upload the updates of the sensed information to the UAVs, thus improving the freshness of collected data and extending the service time of the SNs. The problem is modeled as a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP) with a large observation and action space, where each UAV acts as an intelligent agent to learn the environment and make decisions independently. The value-decomposition network (VDN) algorithm is employed to find the optimal strategy in the multi-agent deep reinforcement learning framework. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed data collection approach compared to two baseline policies.

This paper considers massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Internet of Things (IoT) networks where each sensor is equipped with a single antenna, while the fusion center (FC) is equipped with a massive array of antennas. Each sensor takes the linear noisy observation of the underlying unknown random quantity, pre-processes it, and then transmits its precoded observation to the FC over a fading wireless channel for efficient post-processing. Since these sensors are battery-operated tiny devices, energy efficiency (EE) becomes such a critical factor to optimize, while individual mean square error (MSE)-based quality of service (QoS) constraints ensures an efficient estimation of the random quantities at the FC. Quadratic transform theory is used to solve the resulting non-convex EE maximization problem, and the first-order Taylor series approximation is used to linearize the non-convex quantities. Our numerical results corroborate the analytical findings of this work.

Graph signal processing is a ubiquitous task in many applications such as sensor, social, transportation and brain networks, point cloud processing, and graph neural networks. Often, graph signals are corrupted in the sensing process, thus requiring restoration. In this paper, we propose two graph signal restoration methods based on deep algorithm unrolling (DAU). First, we present a graph signal denoiser by unrolling iterations of the alternating direction method of multiplier (ADMM). We then suggest a general restoration method for linear degradation by unrolling iterations of Plug-and-Play ADMM (PnP-ADMM). In the second approach, the unrolled ADMM-based denoiser is incorporated as a submodule, leading to a nested DAU structure. The parameters in the proposed denoising/restoration methods are trainable in an end-to-end manner. Our approach is interpretable and keeps the number of parameters small since we only tune graph-independent regularization parameters. We overcome two main challenges in existing graph signal restoration methods: 1) limited performance of convex optimization algorithms due to fixed parameters which are often determined manually. 2) large number of parameters of graph neural networks that result in difficulty of training. Several experiments for graph signal denoising and interpolation are performed on synthetic and real-world data. The proposed methods show performance improvements over several existing techniques in terms of root mean squared error in both tasks.

As a prerequisite of high vehicle autonomy, lane segmentation is a significant perception task for advanced autonomous driving. In recent years, spiking neural networks (SNNs) have garnered the attention of researchers due to their appealing power efficiency, which provides the potential to improve energy consumption for the perception system on power-constrained autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we propose a spiking neural network targeted for LiDAR sensors to solve the lane segmentation problem. By encoding the LiDAR point cloud into spikes, the proposed SNN constructed in an end-to-end fully convolutional network structure is capable of processing the LiDAR input through the network to segment the lane area effectively. Experiments conducted on the KITTI dataset for urban scenes and the power consumption evaluation demonstrate the high performance and energy efficiency of the proposed SNN for LiDAR-based lane segmentation.
