Swarm-Enabled AI for Smart Mobility and Sustainable Transport
Abstract: The significant issues facing the modern urban infrastructure are the management of road traffic problems, such as severe traffic congestion, the detection of unsafe driving behavior, and road safety. The traditional ground-based surveillance systems will be helpful, but they will reach their limits in large and dynamic environments. It is because of predetermined perspectives, blindness, and the inability to scale. To designate these problems, the present study proposes a traffic …
