RESEARCH at NEXTCON Lab & SCVI Centre aim to
develop and put
into practice solutions utilizing vehicular
sensing and big data analytics systems for smart cities. To this end,
NEXTCON Lab & SCVI Centre develop digital solutions to acquire sensory
data collected from a connected and autonomous vehicles, and introduce
artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies to analyze
the sensory data in real time. The cutting edge research pursued in NEXTCON
Lab & SCVI Centre specifically aim to lay the foundation of innovative solutions to
integrate distributed resources of edge devices, such as portable sensors and
vehicle equipment, and couple them with machine learning in order to offer
the benefits of operationalization of the data analytics-backed vehicular
sensing services.
Particularly in cyberphysical
systems such as CAVs, NEXTCON-SCVI researchers investigate the potential of
Adversarial Artificial Intelligence to model and design malicious behaviour
in smart spaces monitored by non-dedicated sensors, and develop AI-backed
solutions to detect and prevent cyber threats in cyber-physical systems and
non-dedicated sensor networks. Furthermore, our research investigates novel
machine learning algorithms in order to process high volume data so that
decisions and predictions can be made by eliminating data redundancy and in
turn significantly reducing the amount of information to be processed. Moreover, to address high velocity of the IoT, IoV (internet of Vehicles)
and any big sensed data, NEXTCON-SCVI researchers are working on the
development of AI-driven methodologies to extract valuable statistical
information that can later be used to optimize smart city operations. As an important dimension, NEXTCON-SCVI’s research
aims to address security, dependability, storage, structuring
and privacy challenges in CAVs in
smart cities systems by leveraging data science and machine learning methods. View NEXTCON’s latest works to
