UAV-Enabled Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for Smart Cities
Prof. Simon Pun, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen Campus)
Abstract: Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is one of the defining components for smart cities. Thanks to their flexible mobility, autonomous operation, and outstanding communication capabilities, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been well envisaged as one of the most promising technologies for future ITS. In this talk, the latest development of UAV-enabled ITS will be first reviewed with emphasis on the effective integration of UAV and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) in ITS. After that, some of our recent works on three research topics, namely the UAV-enabled UGV path planning, UAV-enabled aerial-ground communication networks and autonomous UAV landing, will be elaborated in depth. In this talk, we will extensively use videos to demonstrate the systems we have designed and implemented.
