“…Such developments are usually created either by the: (1) private sector, or (2) in partnership with both public and private sectors [55]. Moreover, the 'smart city' concept varies differently from the other concepts because it relies on the intelligence of digital devices and deployment across the physical space to improve the 'urban fabric', the economy, and the lives of the citizens [56][57][58][59].…”

“…While these examples are primarily focusing on the smart home environment, and in the context of smart cities, real-life examples of IoTs include reservation of car parking spaces or tracking usage of bicycles across a city (e.g., Copenhagen, Denmark) [62]. Coupled with the growing body of literature and research, which is exploring how cycling can be utilized in the context of big data, IoT, monitoring fleets, connected programs proposes programs such as the 'Smart Velomobility', which explores and considers both political and practical approaches to smart cycling [57][58][59]61,[65][66][67][68].…”

COVID-19 has impacted not only the health of citizens, but also the various factors that make up our society, living environments, and ecosystems. This pandemic has shown that future living will need to be agile and flexible to adapt to the various changes in needs of societal populations. Digital technology has played an integral role during COVID-19, assisting various sectors of the community, and demonstrating that smart cities can provide opportunities to respond to many future societal challenges. In the decades ahead, the rise in aging populations will be one of these challenges, and one in which the needs and requirements between demographic cohorts will vary greatly. Although we need to create future smart age-friendly ecosystems to meet these needs, technology still does not feature in the WHO eight domains of an age-friendly city. This paper extends upon Marston and van Hoof’s ‘Smart Age-friendly Ecosystem’ (SAfE) framework, and explores how digital technology, design hacking, and research approaches can be used to understand a smart age-friendly ecosystem in a post-pandemic society. By exploring a series of case studies and using real-life scenarios from the standpoint of COVID-19, we propose the ‘Concept of Age-friendly Smart Ecologies (CASE)’ framework. We provide an insight into a myriad of contemporary multi-disciplinary research, which are capable to initiate discussions and bring various actors together with a positive impact on future planning and development of age-friendly ecosystems. The strengths and limitations of this framework are outlined, with advantages evident in the opportunity for towns, regions/counties, provinces, and states to take an agile approach and work together in adopting and implement improvements for the greater benefits of residents and citizens.

“…Smart cycling has recently attracted research interest [1] with applications towards pollution monitoring, environmental sensing [2], and ground conditions monitoring for fitness applications [3]. A mechanical energy harvester on a bicycle combined with a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) module can act as an enabling platform for wearable sensing and computing in a smart city environment [4].…”

The design of dynamic wearable wireless power transfer systems (WPT) possesses multiple challenges that affect the WPT efficiency. The varying operation conditions, such as the coils' coupling, and operation in proximity or through the human body, can affect the impedance matching at the resonant frequency. This paper presents a high-efficiency wearable 6.78 MHz WPT system for smart cycling applications. Resonant inductive coupling using dual-receiver textile coils is proposed for separation-independent WPT, demonstrated in a smart cycling glove, for transferring energy from an on-bicycle generator to smart-textile sensors. The effects of over-coupling in a dynamic WPT system have been investigated analytically and experimentally. The embroidered coils efficiency is studied in space, on-and through-body.The measured results, in space, show around 90% agreement between the analytical and experimental results. To overcome frequency-splitting in the over-coupling region, an asymmetric dual-receiver architecture is proposed. Empirical tuning of the lumped capacitors is utilized to achieve resonance at 6.78 MHz between the fundamental frequency and the even mode split frequency. Two different coil sizes are utilized to achieve separation-independent efficiency in the tight coupling region on-and off-body, while maintaining a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) under 0.103 W/kg. The presented system achieves a peak efficiency of 90% and 82% in free space and on-hand respectively, with a minimum efficiency of 50% under loose and tight coupling, demonstrating more than 40% efficiency improvement over a 1:1 symmetric transmit and receive coil at the same separation.INDEX TERMS Coil, electronic textiles, impedance matching, resonant coupling, wireless power transfer.

“…This concept relies on direct twoway communications between bicycles and vehicles (B2V) and infrastructure (B2I). Technologies for both concepts continue to be explored today with a common goal of enhancing the experiences and safety of the bicyclist (Piramuthu, 2017;Silla et al, 2017;Tome, 2018).…”

“…Recent research efforts on connected bicycles have focused on the uses and limitations of the state-of-the-art technologies (Piramuthu, 2016;Piramuthu, 2017); safety implications (Razzaque and Clarke, 2015;Silla et al, 2017); the reliability of various communication modes (Jenkins et al, 2016;Anaya et al, 20149); and consumer adoption (Piramuthu, 2017;Silla et al, 2017). While there has been some mention of how these technologies may encourage an increase in bicycling through enhanced safety, the research is sparse and there is an absence of discussion on how connected bicycles can address other barriers to bicycling.…”

The term "connected vehicle (CV)" refers to vehicles equipped with devices, which enable wireless communication between internal and external entities, supporting vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The widespread deployment of CVs will address a range of transportation challenges related to safety, mobility, and sustainability. Recent research efforts on connected bicycles have focused on the uses and limitations of the state-of-the-art technologies, safety implications, the reliability of various communication modes, and consumer adoption. Existing research focuses on either technologies that utilize data received from sensors and the internet to govern devices attached to the bicycle (situational sensing) or two-way communication. While there has been some mention of how these technologies may encourage an increase in bicycling through enhanced safety, the research is sparse and there is a lack of discussion on how connected bicycles can address other barriers to bicycling. This report provides context into the societal needs of bicycling and the current strategies utilized to increase the bicycle mode share, a cohesive review of existing and prototyped connected bicycle technologies, and discussion about their potential to mitigate barriers to bicycling and better accommodate the needs and desires of diverse riders. We then explore the limitations and benefits of one-way and two-way communications, the potential of bicycle-toinfrastructure technologies, and the future needs and expected pathways of connected bicycle technologies.
