Numerous deep learning studies have achieved remarkable advances in WiFi-based human gesture recognition (HGR) using channel state information (CSI). However, since the CSI patterns of the same gesture change across domains (i.e., users, environments, locations, and orientations), recognition accuracy might degrade significantly when applying the trained model to new domains. To overcome this problem, we propose a WiFi-based cross-domain gesture recognition system (WiGr) which has a domain-transferable mapping to construct an embedding space where the representations of samples from the same class are clustered, and those from different classes are separated. The key insight of WiGr is using the similarity between the query sample representation and the class prototypes in the embedding space to perform the gesture classification, which can avoid the influence of the cross-domain CSI patterns change. Meanwhile, we present a dual-path prototypical network (Dual-Path PN) which consists of a deep feature extractor and a dual-path (i.e., Path-A and Path-B substructures) recognizer. The trained feature extractor can extract the gesture-related domain-independent features from CSI, namely, the domain-transferable mapping. In addition, WiGr implements the cross-domain HGR based on only a pair of WiFi devices without retraining in the new domain. We conduct comprehensive experiments on three data sets, one is built by ourselves and the others are public data sets. The evaluation suggests that WiGr achieves 86.8%–92.7% in-domain recognition accuracy and 83.5%–93% cross-domain accuracy under the four-shot condition.

Urban public transport is a very complex system, and with the development of urbanization, there are many new urban traffic characteristics. Making bus routes and scheduling strategies more efficient, scientific and accurate has a positive impact on the actual operation of public transport. To solve the urban public transport line design problem, this paper describes the implicit law of the characteristics of public transport travel from a deep perspective and analyzes the forms, influencing factors and existing problems of bus dispatching. By establishing a multiobjective public transport dispatching optimization model, starting from bus companies, passengers and government departments, public transportation operating costs comprehensively consider the interests of various parties and finally realize the optimization objective of minimizing fixed costs, fuel costs, carbon emission costs and time window penalty costs. The objective function is set reasonably, and the generation and optimization method of the initial line set in the public transport line design problem is improved; suitable constraint conditions and evaluation indicators are considered. This paper attempts to control the overall length of the bus line on the premise of fully meeting the travel needs of passengers. By solving the multiobjective problem on the same network and comparing different multiobjective optimization algorithms, the effectiveness of the method is evaluated. Additionally, an improved multiobjective adaptive particle swarm optimization (MOAPSO) is proposed, which has the characteristics of faster convergence, higher efficiency and low computational complexity. The simulation experimental results show that the proposed algorithm in this paper can obtain a better Pareto optimal solution set and can effectively solve the multiobjective model. The departure interval conforms to the passenger flow distribution, which can effectively reduce costs and improve the travel service quality of passengers on a large-scale network.

Wi-Fi sensing technology based on deep learning has contributed many breakthroughs in gesture recognition tasks. However, most methods concentrate on single domain recognition with high computational complexity while rarely investigating cross-domain recognition with lightweight performance, which cannot meet the requirements of high recognition performance and low computational complexity in an actual gesture recognition system. Inspired by the few-shot learning methods, we propose WiGR, a Wi-Fi-based gesture recognition system. The key structure of WiGR is a lightweight few-shot learning network that introduces some lightweight blocks to achieve lower computational complexity. Moreover, the network can learn a transferable similarity evaluation ability from the training set and apply the learned knowledge to the new domain to address domain shift problems. In addition, we made a channel state information (CSI)-Domain Adaptation (CSIDA) data set that includes channel state information (CSI) traces with various domain factors (i.e., environment, users, and locations) and conducted extensive experiments on two data sets (CSIDA and SignFi). The evaluation results show that WiGR can reach 87.8–94.8% cross-domain accuracy, and the parameters and the calculations are reduced by more than 50%. Extensive experiments demonstrate that WiGR can achieve excellent recognition performance using only a few samples and is thus a lightweight and practical gesture recognition system compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Intelligent public transport systems are a key direction for the study of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), and they perform the following functions: location and tracking, aided navigation, dispatch and command, and dynamic information release; these systems also help travelers determine optimal routes. This paper mainly studies intelligent bus operation optimization by integrating cases and data from business chains, including the optimization of public transport vehicle scheduling according to the characteristics of vehicle scheduling, considers the interests of passengers and public transport companies, and adopts a true-value encoding method with the departure time as the variable goal optimization. In addition, this paper builds a model for the intelligent scheduling problem in public transport based on an enhanced quantum genetic algorithm (EQGA) to find the optimal timetable. This model sets the minimum waiting time cost of passengers and the maximum interests of public transport companies as the goals, restricts the departure interval and two adjacent intervals, and constrains the load factor of passengers. Moreover, based on the analysis of public transport travel characteristics and passenger flow data, this paper evaluates the efficiency of public transport operation, reasonably analyzes the utilization of public transport resources and the travel time of public transport passengers, and thoroughly studies the public transport operation system. This paper selects actual bus line data for empirical analysis, and the empirical results show that the proposed algorithm and model can meet the requirements of many aspects and provides good intelligence, applicability, and optimization.

Among numerous indoor localization systems, WiFi fingerprint-based localization has been one of the most attractive solutions, which is known to be free of extra infrastructure and specialized hardware. To push forward this approach for wide deployment, three crucial goals on high deployment ubiquity, high localization accuracy, and low maintenance cost are desirable. However, due to severe challenges about signal variation, device heterogeneity, and database degradation root in environmental dynamics, pioneer works usually make a trade-off among them. In this article, we propose iToLoc, a deep learning-based localization system that achieves all three goals simultaneously. Once trained, iToLoc will provide accurate localization service for everyone using different devices and under diverse network conditions, and automatically update itself to maintain reliable performance anytime. iToLoc is purely based on WiFi fingerprints without relying on specific infrastructures. The core components of iToLoc are a domain adversarial neural network and a co-training-based semi-supervised learning framework. Extensive experiments across 7 months with eight different devices demonstrate that iToLoc achieves remarkable performance with an accuracy of 1.92 m and >95% localization success rate. Even 7 months after the original fingerprint database was established, the rate still maintains >90%, which significantly outperforms previous works.

In the development of smart cities, the transportation system plays a crucial role, with road congestion being particularly prominent under conditions of long-distance travel and high traffic volumes. This paper proposes a Vehicle Path Planning and Prediction Algorithm (VPPPA) based on an attention mechanism for complex traffic intersections collaboration in intelligent transportation systems. Our proposed algorithm is designed to plan and analyze traffic flow at urban road intersections. Firstly, attention mechanisms are used to balance the number of vehicles at different traffic intersections, with a particular focus on alleviating congestion at critical intersections during peak hours. Secondly, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is employed to capture the spatial relationships between different road segments and intersections. Moreover, the Long Short-Term Memory and CNN (LSTM-CNN) architecture effectively captures the important temporal correlations in the traffic flow data. Thirdly, the spatiotemporal attention mechanism of vehicles captures the local spatial correlation characteristics between the target intersection and adjacent intersections along the traffic network. Finally, our proposed VPPPA model leverages the advantages of the LSTM-CNN architecture, enhancing learning efficiency during the training process and extracting valuable information. Experimental results show that the proposed VPPPA has significant advantages and greater efficiency in reducing average travel time and improving throughput across various intersections.
