V2P (vehicle-to-pedestrian) communication can improve road traffic efficiency, solve traffic congestion, and improve traffic safety. It is an important direction for the development of smart transportation in the future. Existing V2P communication systems are limited to the early warning of vehicles and pedestrians, and do not plan the trajectory of vehicles to achieve active collision avoidance. In order to reduce the adverse effects on vehicle comfort and economy caused by switching the “stop–go” state, this paper uses a PF (particle filter) to preprocess GPS (Global Positioning System) data to solve the problem of poor positioning accuracy. An obstacle avoidance trajectory-planning algorithm that meets the needs of vehicle path planning is proposed, which considers the constraints of the road environment and pedestrian travel. The algorithm improves the obstacle repulsion model of the artificial potential field method, and combines it with the A* algorithm and model predictive control. At the same time, it controls the input and output based on the artificial potential field method and vehicle motion constraints, so as to obtain the planned trajectory of the vehicle’s active obstacle avoidance. The test results show that the vehicle trajectory planned by the algorithm is relatively smooth, and the acceleration and steering angle change ranges are small. Based on ensuring safety, stability, and comfort in vehicle driving, this trajectory can effectively prevent collisions between vehicles and pedestrians and improve traffic efficiency.

LoRa (Long Range), a wireless communication technology for low power wide area networks (LPWANs), enables a wide range of IoT applications and inter-device communication, due to its openness and flexible network deployment. In the actual deployment and operation of LoRa networks, the static link transmission scheme does not make full use of the channel resources in the time-varying channel environment, resulting in a poor network performance. In this paper, we propose a more effective adaptive data rate (ADR) algorithm for low-cost gateways, we firstly analyze the impact of the different hardware parameters (RSSI, SNR) on the link quality and classify the link quality using the fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM). Secondly, we establish an end device (ED) throughput model and energy consumption model and design different adaptive rate algorithms, according to the different link quality considering both the link-level performance and the MAC layer performance. The proposed algorithm uses machine learning to classify the link quality, which can accurately classify the link quality using a small amount of data, compared to other adaptive rate algorithms, and the link parameter adaptation algorithm can maximize the throughput while ensuring the link stability, by considering the link-level performance and the MAC layer performance, compared to other algorithms. The results show that it outperforms the standard LoRaWAN ADR algorithm in both the single ED and the multi ED scenarios, in terms of the packets reception rate (PRR) and the network throughput. Compared to the LoRaWAN ADR in 32 multi-ED scenarios, the proposed algorithm improves the throughput by 34.12% and packets the reception rate by 26%, significantly improving the network throughput and the packets reception rate.

Utilizing reliable and accurate positioning and navigation systems is crucial for saving the lives of rescue personnel and accelerating rescue operations. However, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs), such as GPS, may not provide stable signals in dense forests. Therefore, integrating multiple sensors like GPS and Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) becomes essential to enhance the availability and accuracy of positioning systems. To accurately estimate rescuers’ positions, this paper employs the Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) algorithm with measurement noise variance matrix adaptation, integrating IMU and GPS data alongside barometric altitude measurements for precise three-dimensional positioning in complex environments. The AUKF enhances estimation robustness through the adaptive adjustment of the measurement noise variance matrix, particularly excelling when GPS signals are interrupted. This study conducted tests on two-dimensional and three-dimensional road scenarios in forest environments, confirming that the AUKF-algorithm-based integrated navigation system outperforms the traditional Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), and Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter (AEKF) in emergency rescue applications. The tests further evaluated the system’s navigation performance on rugged roads and during GPS signal interruptions. The results demonstrate that the system achieves higher positioning accuracy on rugged forest roads, notably reducing errors by 18.32% in the north direction, 8.51% in the up direction, and 3.85% in the east direction compared to the EKF. Furthermore, the system exhibits good adaptability during GPS signal interruptions, ensuring continuous and accurate personnel positioning during rescue operations.

With the evolution of communication networks, the Internet of Vehicles (IOV) continues to accelerate the safe and rapid development of autonomous vehicles. Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) communication is a key technology in autonomous vehicles and a potential solution to realize collaborative intelligence between vehicles and pedestrians. However, the existing V2P communication early warning system does not consider the uncertainty of pedestrian trajectory, and the determination of the collision area is limited to a single point, resulting in an inaccurate system judgment and limited improvement of traffic efficiency. This paper designs a new autonomous-oriented V2P communication network architecture and completes a V2P communication early warning system based on Long Range (LoRa). A V2P anticollision model is established, and a new V2P collision risk early warning method is proposed. In this method, danger index is introduced into the early warning of collision between pedestrian and vehicle. The long short-term memory (LSTM) artificial neural network is used to predict the pedestrian’s trajectory, so as to deduce the pedestrian-vehicle collision risk area when the pedestrian trajectory is uncertain. Meanwhile, the confidence probability is used to judge whether the pedestrian and vehicle are warned. The simulation shows that the V2P collision risk warning method proposed in this paper has good performance, which can accurately warn the pedestrian and vehicle under different vehicle speeds and Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning errors. At the same time, it reflects the characteristics of intelligence brought by using LSTM methods. Using the V2P communication early warning system based on LoRa to verify the experimental results show that when the GPS positioning accuracy is submeter level, the prediction accuracy is greater than 98%. The results of the proposed method show good performance and high detection rate.

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) urgently need to realize vehicle identification, dynamic monitoring, and traffic flow monitoring under high-speed motion conditions. Vehicle tracking based on radio frequency identification (RFID) and electronic vehicle identification (EVI) can obtain continuous observation data for a long period of time, and the acquisition accuracy is relatively high, which is conducive to the discovery of rules. The data can provide key information for urban traffic decision-making research. In this paper, an RFID tag motion trajectory tracking method based on RF multiple features for ITS is proposed to analyze the movement trajectory of vehicles at important checkpoints. The method analyzes the accurate relationship between the RSSI, phase differences, and driving distances of the tag. It utilizes the information weight method to obtain the weights of multiple RF characteristics at different distances. Then, it calculates the center point of the common area where the vehicle may move under multi-antenna conditions, confirming the actual position of the vehicle. The experimental results show that the average positioning error of moving RFID tags based on dual-frequency signal phase differences and RSSI is less than 17 cm. This method can provide real-time, high-precision vehicle positioning and trajectory tracking solutions for ITS application scenarios such as parking guidance, unmanned vehicle route monitoring, and vehicle lane change detection.

Attitude information is as important as position information in describing and localizing objects. Based on this, this paper proposes a method for object attitude sensing utilizing ultra-high frequency passive RFID technology. This method adopts a double tag array strategy, which effectively enhances the spatial freedom and eliminates phase ambiguity by leveraging the phase difference information between the two tags. Additionally, we delve into the issue of the phase shift caused by coupling interference between the two tags. To effectively compensate for this coupling effect, a series of experiments were conducted to thoroughly examine the specific impact of coupling effects between tags, and based on these findings, a coupling model between tags was established. This model was then integrated into the original phase model to correct for the effects of phase shift, significantly improving the sensing accuracy. Furthermore, we considered the influence of the object rotation angle on phase changes to construct an accurate object attitude recognition and tracking model. To reduce random errors during phase measurement, we employed a polynomial regression method to fit the measured tag phase information, further enhancing the precision of the sensing model. Compared to traditional positioning modes, the dual-tag array strategy essentially increases the number of virtual antennas available for positioning, providing the system with more refined directional discrimination capabilities. The experimental results demonstrated that incorporating the effects of inter-tag coupling interference and rotation angle into the phase model significantly improved the recognition accuracy for both object localization and attitude angle determination. Specifically, the average error of object positioning was reduced to 12.3 cm, while the average error of attitude angle recognition was reduced to 8.28°, making the method suitable for various practical application scenarios requiring attitude recognition.
