Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for the design and management of vehicle sharing systems. Our focus is on one‐way vehicle sharing systems (wherein customers are allowed to pick‐up a vehicle at...

Bike-sharing is adopted as a valid alternative to traditional public transports since they are eco-friendly, prevent traffic congestions, reduce the probability of social contacts which happens on most means. However, some problems may occur such irregular distribution bikes stations/racks/areas, and difficulty knowing in advance rack status with certain degree confidence, whether there will be...

Bike-sharing systems have made notable contributions to cities by providing green and sustainable mobility service users. Over the years, many studies been conducted understand or anticipate usage of these systems, with hope inform their future developments. One important task is accurately predict patterns systems. Although deep learning algorithms developed in recent years support travel dema...

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization made assessment that a new disease (COVID-19) caused by novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) could be characterized as pandemic. From point, chain reaction of events and difficult decisions requiring action was launched. National governments all over world announced partial or total quarantine lockdowns in an effort to control virus’ spreading order sav...

The current quantitative and qualitative development of bike-sharing systems worldwide involves particular implications regarding the level sustainability urban city residents’ quality life. To make these as large possible well most positive, it is essential that people who use municipal bikes on a regular basis to largest extent abandon car travel at same time. Thanks their operational charact...

Base station sites (BSSs) powered with renewable energy sources have gained the attention of cellular operators during the last few years. This is because such “green” BSSs impose significant reductions in the operational expenditures (OPEX) of telecom operators due to the possibility of on-site renewable energy harvesting. In this paper, the green BSSs power supply system parameters detected t...

Creating cities that promote sustainable lifestyles is a complex and far reaching process. One of the most important components of sustainability on an urban scale is the need for an efficient public transportation system, which provides enough convenience that, combined with walking, can be more desirable for residents to use over driving a car. Vehicular traffic congestion is one of the great...

Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate. To both address this issue and obtain a better understanding of the formation of BSSs in different environments we have analysed a sample of BSS candidates in two nearby Galactic dSphs, Draco and Ursa Mino...
