3D SAFE ROUTING NAVIGATION APPLICATION FOR PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS BASED ON OPEN SOURCE TOOLS

The recent advancement in Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is seen as a critical enabler to design intelligent smart cities targeting different domains. One such domain is modes of transport in a city. Currently, various cities around the world are envisioning innovative ways to reduce emissions in the cities by increasing physically active mobility. However, there is still limited information about the safety of cyclists and pedestrians within city limits. To address this, we develop a 3D web-based safe routing tool called Vision Zero. Our concept prototype used Augsburg city, Germany, as a case study. The implementation is based on open-source tools. In the back-end, the OGC 3D Portrayal Service standard helps to deliver and integrate various 2D and 3D geospatial contents on a web-based client using CesiumJS. The OGC SensorThings API (STAPI) standard is used to manage historical and real-time open road-incident data from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany. The navigation system is built up based on the routing engine pgRouting, which calculates the safest route based on the mentioned STAPI server and the road-network dataset from OpenStreetMap.

Implementation of 6-DOF Biped Footstep Planning Under Different Terrain Conditions

Humanoid robots gain starting their anthropomorphic profile when functional in human-made environments. In direct to achieve human-like capabilities, robots must be able to recognize, understand and interrelate with the nearby world. We present the development of safe routing strategy for biped robots moving in difficulty untidy environments. In the near view, humanoids play a vital role in helping the mankind by performing the day today activities. Navigation of a humanoid under different terrain conditions such as flat, inclined and slippery environments is a challenge that requires a solution to use humanoids in the households. In this regard, in the planned paper work, a biped robot with 6-Degree of freedom has been designed and tested on the sloped and slippery surfaces, in addition to it, the ultrasonic sensors are used to identify the obstacles. Based on the obstacle identification, the biped path can be altered in order to evade impact within obstacle.
