In this paper, we propose a new architecture to read the smart meters which are commonly distributed nowadays in smart cities. In this architecture, public transportation vehicles are utilized as Data Collectors (DCs) that reads these smart meters. Moreover, we target the path planning problem for these DCs given that a limited number of vehicles with a specific storage capacity are able to participate in collecting readings from these meters. We optimize the number of DCs while maintaining their minimum travelling distances and satisfied traffic constraints. We propose a Genetic-based Routing (GR) approach for more optimized solutions. Extensive simulation results are performed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison to other heuristic approaches.

Smart Cities and the Idea of Smartness in Urban Development - A Critical Review Husar, Milan; Ondrejicka, Vladimir; Varis, Sila Ceren (2017-06-16) The concept of smart cities is becoming another mantra for both developing and developed cities. For instance, Indian government in 2015 announced its objective to build one hundred smart cities all over the country. They clearly stated that they are choosing smart development as the underlying concept for their future growth as a way to foster economic development in smart way to avoid the paths of rapid industrialization and pollution of cities as it took place in Europe and United States. The first of th...
Coordinated guidance for multiple UAVs Cakici, Ferit; Ergezer, Halit; Irmak, Ufuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-01) This paper addresses the path planning problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from desired regions (DRs), while avoiding forbidden regions (FRs) and reaching the destination. This study focuses on maximizing collected information instead of minimizing total mission time, as in previous studies. The problem is solved by a genetic algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The initial populations are generat...
Urban compactness : a study of Ankara urban form Çalışkan, Olgu; Günay, Baykan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2003) Sustainable urban development is mentioned together with the concept of urban form in contemporary planning literature. The main reason behind this is a need for determining an ideal physical development scheme and its main principles of urban future in a broad term. Besides, the operational side of urban planning requires a concrete set of design codes in order to transform urban space in both macro and mezzo scale. At this point, the concept of urban compactness and the idea of Compact City have come into...
Optimal siting and sizing of wind farms CETINAY, Hale; KUIPERS, Fernando A.; Güven, Ali Nezih (2017-02-01) In this paper, we propose a novel technique to determine the optimal placement of wind farms, thereby taking into account wind characteristics and electrical grid constraints. We model the long-term variability of wind speed using a Weibull distribution according to wind direction intervals, and formulate the metrics that capture wind speed characteristics at a specific location, namely the arithmetic mean of wind speed, the theoretical wind power density and the capacity factor of a prospective wind power ...
Smart and sustainable urban districts: assessment systems and case studies Özkan Öztürk, Huriye Nur; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2017) The Smart city concept has become an important strategic planning mechanism in past decade or so, with respect to the combination of sustainability, information and communication technologies for urban development in many countries. This study is aimed at an in depth analysis of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to the smart city concept and its applicability to urban neighborhoods. The research is based on case studies in from around the world to determine the instruments of smartness; since th...
