“…The 5th generation network is becoming more and more popular thanks to its high connection speed, ability to handle large amounts of data, and low latency. The possibilities of its application in the area of smart cities and the IoT make the 5G network an important element of modern technical solutions [41,42]. The use of the 5G network can cover wide areas of communication, ranging from a simple connection with sensors in the city infrastructure, to complex data exchange with an advanced city management system [43][44][45].…”

This article deals with automated urban traffic management, and proposes a new comprehensive infrastructure solution for dynamic traffic direction switching at intersection lines. It was assumed that the currently used solutions based on video monitoring are unreliable. Therefore, the Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technique was introduced, in which vehicles are counted and, if necessary, identified in order to estimate the flows on individual lanes. The data is acquired in real time using fifth-generation wireless communications (5G). The Pots and Ising models derived from the theory of statistical physics were used in a novel way to determine the state of direction traffic lights. The models were verified by simulations using data collected from real traffic observations. The results were presented for two exemplary intersections.

“…The high intensity of the circular economy is linked to accreditation of environmental management systems and strategic decisions for environmental performance improvement and sustainable business models. However, managing distributed energy has enhanced the generation and delivery of more scattered energy [16][17][18]. Issues in energy policy, high power generating prices, old infrastructure, and inadequate power transmission have all contributed to the severe energy crisis.…”

In this paper we examined the interaction between greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear energy, coal energy, urban agglomeration, and economic growth in Pakistan by utilizing time series data during 1972–2019. The stationarity of the variables was tested through unit root tests, while the ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) method with long and short-run estimations was applied to reveal the linkages between variables. A unidirectional association between all variables was revealed by performing a Granger causality test under the vector error correction model (VECM) that was extracted during the short-run estimate. Furthermore, the stepwise least squares technique was also utilized to check the robustness of the variables. The findings of long-run estimations showed that GHG emissions, coal energy, and urban agglomeration have an adversative association with economic growth in Pakistan, while nuclear energy showed a dynamic association with the economic growth. The outcomes of short-run estimations also show that nuclear energy has a constructive association with economic growth, while the remaining variables exposed an adversative linkage to economic growth in Pakistan. Similarly, the Granger causality test under the vector error correction model (VECM) outcomes exposes that all variables have unidirectional association. Furthermore, the outcomes of the stepwise least squares technique reveals that GHG emissions and coal energy have an adverse association with economic growth, and variables nuclear energy and urban agglomeration have a productive linkage to the economic growth in Pakistan. GHG emissions are no doubt an emerging issue globally; therefore, conservative policies and financial support are needed to tackle this issue. Despite the fact that Pakistan contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than industrialized countries, the government must implement new policies to address this problem in order to contribute to environmental sustainability while also enhancing economic development.

“…Vehicular communication has become an emerging technology in intelligent transportation system (ITS) due to the offered road safety, comfort ride, traffic efficiency and infotainment [1]. This promising technology encourages most of the leading car companies to jointly work with national government agencies and wireless network research groups to develop communication-based products related to the transportation sector [2]. ITS is a system that exchanges information among vehicles, infrastructure and people; it can also be called vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.…”

Recent autonomous intelligent transportation systems commonly adopt vehicular communication. Efficient communication between autonomous vehicles-to-everything (AV2X) is mandatory to ensure road safety by decreasing traffic jamming, approaching emergency vehicle warning, and assisting in low visibility traffic. In this paper, a new adaptive AV2X model, based on a novel optimization method to enhance the connectivity of the vehicular networks, is proposed. The presented model optimizes the inter-vehicle position to communicate with the autonomous vehicle (AV) or to relay information to everything. Based on the system quality-of-service (QoS) being achieved, a decision will be taken whether the transmitting AV communicates directly to the destination or through cooperative communication. To achieve the given objectives, the best position of the relay-vehicle issue was mathematically formulated as a constrained optimization problem to enhance the communication between AV2X under different environmental conditions. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, the following factors are considered: distribution of vehicles, vehicle density, vehicle mobility and speed. Simulation results show how the proposed model outperforms other previous models and enhances system performance in terms of four benchmark aspects: throughput (S), packet loss rate (PLR), packet delivery ratio (PDR) and average delivery latency (DL).
