“…In sectors other than transportation, research on dynamic object detection and intelligent image surveillance system construction based on CCTV [23][24][25][26] has been conducted for crime prevention. In the disaster sector, there have been studies on multi-disaster drone system development through optimal path search and deep-learning-based object recognition [27]. In addition, there have been studies on visualization and system development, including dynamic information and mashup performance comparisons of dynamic and spatial information [28], and dynamic image control system development based on user tracking information [29].…”

Recently, the demand for citizen-sensible service solutions such as traffic, crime prevention, and disasters in smart cities is increasing. In order to provide technology-based smart city services, local government control centers could be utilized. Accordingly, this paper presented a method for selecting a control center-based dynamic object information utilization service model through in-depth interviews with 26 related local government control center operation personnel. A comparative analysis according to the size of the local government to which the evaluator belongs was also performed. As a methodology, Fuzzy AHP was used, which can support rational decision-making by mathematically expressing ambiguous phenomena such as subjective and uncertain judgments. The summary of the research results is as follows. Services related to recent incidents in South Korea (e.g., school zone traffic accidents and lowland inundation) were identified as very important. These social issues are significant factors in policy decisions. In comparing the results for each urban scale, the importance of pedestrian safety services on backside roads and main road traffic services was found to be important in the metropolitan area and regional, medium, and small cities, respectively. This was attributed to metropolitan cities with high population density, and medium and small cities experiencing alienated traffic information. In metropolitan areas, new services are highly important owing to the demand for a more scientific control service and future mobility based on a sound control infrastructure. In medium and small cities, facility management services were assessed relatively highly owing to the poor conditions of regional cities with a lack of supervising personnel in the field and a lack of surveillance system infrastructure. This paper was able to confirm the difference in service preference by city size, and it is necessary to select the optimal service model considering these results.

The loss of vision restrained the visually impaired people from performing their daily task. This issue has impeded their free-movement and turned them into dependent a person. People in this sector did not face technologies revamping their situations. With the advent of computer vision, artificial intelligence, the situation improved to a great extent. The propounded design is an implementation of a wearable device which is capable of performing a lot of features. It is employed to provide visual instinct by recognizing objects, identifying the face of choices. The device runs a pre-trained model to classify common objects from household items to automobiles items. Optical character recognition and Google translate were executed to read any text from image and convert speech of the user to text respectively. Besides, the user can search for an interesting topic by the command in the form of speech. Additionally, ultrasonic sensors were kept fixed at three positions to sense the obstacle during navigation. The display attached help in communication with deaf person and GPS and GSM module aid in tracing the user. All these features run by voice commands which are passed through the microphone of any earphone. The visual input is received through the camera and the computation task is processed in the raspberry pi board. However, the device seemed to be effective during the test and validation.

The Functionalities and Technologies Trends in Developing Electronic Travel Aids for the Blind or Visually Impaired People: A Review

In all parts of the community, basic autonomous navigation is essential. The capability to navigate complicated environments allows people to achieve a wide range of physical and mental objectives. With minimal non-visual infrastructure, indoor navigation is a complicated cognitive and perceptual activity, unlike Global Positioning System (GPS) infrastructure for outdoor navigation. Blind or visually impaired people (BVIP) require sophisticated technologies with inbuilt functionalities for obstacle detection and recognition and the identification of desired destinations like rooms, stairs, and elevators to better orient themselves and navigate in unfamiliar indoor environments. Electronic travel aids (ETAs) have developed and offered exceptional navigation support for the BVIP. ETAs increase opportunities for autonomous navigation by providing information regarding the surroundings in the indoor or outdoor environment, the user's present position, and navigational instructions about the route to a targeted destination. However, less focus has been found in the literature on integrating several functions in ETAs to have a more comprehensive system that supports indoor navigation activity of BVIP to facilitate the mobility of BVIP. This study provides a thorough review of previously developed ETAs using two main criteria: the used technologies and the fulfilled functions. Based on the review findings, this study suggests future research path of technological instrumentation for the BVIP' ETA solutions in indoor navigation.
