Advancing Cycling Safety: On-Bike Alert System Utilizing Multi-Layer Radar Point Cloud Clustering for Coarse Object Classification.

Cyclists are considered to be vulnerable road users (VRUs) and need protection from potential collisions with cars and other vehicles induced by unsafe driving, dangerous road conditions, or weak cycling infrastructure. Integrating mmWave radars into cycling safety measures presents an efficient solution to this problem given their compact size, low power consumption, and low cost compared to other sensors. This paper introduces an mmWave radar-based bike safety system designed to offer real-time alerts to cyclists.

A Generalized Mechanistic Model for Assessing and Forecasting the Spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Since early 2020, the world has been afflicted with an unprecedented global pandemic. The SARS-CoV-19 (COVID-19) has levied massive economic and public health costs across many countries. Due to its virulence, the pathogen is rapidly propagating throughout the world in such a way that makes it incredibly challenging for officials to contain its spread.

QoS and energy aware cooperative routing protocol for wildfire monitoring wireless sensor networks.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are presented as proper solution for wildfire monitoring. However, this application requires a design of WSN taking into account the network lifetime and the shadowing effect generated by the trees in the forest environment. Cooperative communication is a promising solution for WSN which uses, at each hop, the resources of multiple nodes to transmit its data.
