Meanwhile, the definition of IOT in transportation was given. Concerning that many problems occurred during the process of traditional intelligent transportation system, the paper proposed a promising model of lOT in transportation. The advantage of the information utilization model from information to function was confirmed through comparative study. Finally, the model presented that a real interconnection of transportation would be achieved based on the unified information collection. It can greatly save cost on technology transfer, exploit potential value of information, and promote the emergence of a sustainable information service market and the industrial upgrade.展开更多

Based on the relationshipbetween technological innovation and sustainable development, this paper brings forward that technological innovationmust take the sustainable1 development of society as the fundamental goal. Technological innovation should be the realimpulse for the development of society, economy and ecology. On the basis of the analysis on previous technologicalinnovation impetus mechanism, combined with the influential factors, this paper puts forward SD-oriented mechanism oftechnological innovation.展开更多

We assess the reliability, accuracy, and autonomy of low power electronic devices, their market opportunities, and their ability to enhance sustainable development. For small, portable applications that need long lifetime energy supply systems, size, width, finite energy lifetime, and the need for replacement are important drawbacks. New supply alternatives should be explored that are able to make recharging easier or to remove battery dependence altogether. A new trend in the energy sources for low power applications has emerged in recent years, involving the harvesting of the energy available in the environment to supply power for electronic applications instead of using battery technologies that provide only short, finite amounts of energy. In this paper, we describe an all-purpose module of energy harvesting from mechanical, thermal, solar and RF energy sources developed at the University of Barcelona. We provide proof of concept in order to incorporate this novel energy technology in a wide range of applications and environments.展开更多

文摘The paper studied the connection between internet of things （lOT） technology and transportation industry. Meanwhile, the definition of IOT in transportation was given. Concerning that many problems occurred during the process of traditional intelligent transportation system, the paper proposed a promising model of lOT in transportation. The advantage of the information utilization model from information to function was confirmed through comparative study. Finally, the model presented that a real interconnection of transportation would be achieved based on the unified information collection. It can greatly save cost on technology transfer, exploit potential value of information, and promote the emergence of a sustainable information service market and the industrial upgrade.
