Our proposal is to introduce an optimal model for a new technique that allows the ability to make an interactive communication between intelligent self-driving cars (smart cars) and driver cars possible (V2V). Nowadays with different prototypes of smart cars, road intersection, is one of the issues that smart cars (cars [...]

Built environments have a profound effect on public health as they provide the background on which individuals make decisions to address their mobility, resulting in the adoption of varying degrees of physical activity. This is a logical adjunct to the natural environment which may or may not be conducive to [...]

University campuses meets the different academic disciplines. Such campuses are microcosm of cities where it meets academic facilities like colleges, libraries, common areas, sports buildings, roads and services, residential multiple students, staff and faculty, and facilities of various services such as business services and water purification stations, electricity, sanitation and [...]

Children safety is a big concern to parents. Whether their child is feeling depressed, being attacked or bullied by other kids, at health or physical risk or even being accompanied by an unauthorized person. The currently available smartwatches designed for kids are either using a threshold-based approach which requires pre-configuration [...]

The Kingdom of Bahrain, as many other countries suffers from land scarcity, caused by the overpopulation. This directed them to substitute city designing, based on fundamentals of sustainability. Unfortunately, Government had only one quick solution to accommodate the swift urbanization and that was land reclamation upon the surrounding Gulf water. [...]

Nowadays, home-based health care systems are becoming one of the most important issues in smart city applications. The statistical data of death reasons in Bahrain reveals relatively high percentages of deaths from diabetic disease (15%) and heart complications (16%). The authors of this paper propose a framework for developing a [...]

As an application of quantum information in Smart Cities, we introduce a technique to freeze the accelerated information and consequently it is protected during the communication between the Smart Cities’ users. It is assumed that, the two users share different dimension sizes of particles. The technique depends on local operations, [...]

Consumer electronic device control is one of the key challenges in smart cities development. This paper introduces the design and hardware implementation of smart energy management systems to be applied for Bahrain smart cities development. The system is capable of monitoring the energy consumed by the appliances, and accordingly limits [...]

Collecting, transport, disposal, and managing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) within urban context is a challenge worldwide. It directly impacts; environmental, health and economic aspects of modern and smart urban cities. MSW transport is the most expensive item in MSW management and in some cases might take up most of the [...]

Smart cities era requires changes in the life style of the citizens technically and technologically. Mobility is one of the main domains in smart cities, hence, transportation is the area of focus in this research. Embedding Radio Frequency Identification RFID tags into all vehicles driving in the Kingdom of Bahrain [...]
