ABSTRACT
Timely detection of roadside assets that require maintenance is essential for improving citizen satisfaction. Currently, the process of identifying such maintenance issues is typically performed manually, which is time consuming, expensive, and slow to respond. In this paper, we present Mobile IoT-RoadBot, a mobile 5G-based Internet of Things (IoT) solution, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to enable opportunistic real-time identification and detection of maintenance issues with roadside assets. The Mobile IoT-RoadBot solution has been deployed on 11 bin service (waste collection) trucks in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, performing real-time assessments of road-side assets as they service areas within the local government. We present the architecture of Mobile IoT-RoadBot and demonstrate its capability via an online 'points of maintenance' (PoMs) map.

IoT-enabled highway safety pre warning system
IoTDI '19: Proceedings of the International Conference on Internet of Things Design and ImplementationWe propose to demo an IoT-enabled highway safety pre warning system which can inform the drivers of the danger ahead. In this system, we use road side unit (RSU) installed on highway guardrail to collect motion information from the on board unit (OBU) ...
