Special Issue Information

The popularity of Internet of Things (IoTs) technologies has led to the accumulation of a large amount of data, promoting the need for artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for data analysis. People are increasingly accustomed to the convenience and personalized services provided by IoT devices. The seamless connection of integrating AI and IoT technologies (we called it as AIoT) has become a current and future trend. This Special Issue explores the integration of IoT and AI technologies to develop innovative AIoT algorithms and provide services that meet and even exceed user expectations. We invite academic researchers and industry professionals from a broad range of disciplines to submit to this Special Issue.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • IoTs technologies and algorithms
  • AI technologies and algorithms
  • AIoT innovative algorithms
  • AIoT simulation and applications
  • Other related aspects

Existing crowd evacuation guidance systems require the manual design of models and input parameters, incurring a significant workload and a potential for errors. This paper proposed an end-to-end intelligent evacuation guidance method based on deep reinforcement learning, and designed an interactive simulation environment based on the social force model. The agent could automatically learn a scene model and path planning strategy with only scene images as input, and directly output dynamic signage information. Aiming to solve the “dimension disaster” phenomenon of the deep Q network (DQN) algorithm in crowd evacuation, this paper proposed a combined action-space DQN (CA-DQN) algorithm that grouped Q network output layer nodes according to action dimensions, which significantly reduced the network complexity and improved system practicality in complex scenes. In this paper, the evacuation guidance system is defined as a reinforcement learning agent and implemented by the CA-DQN method, which provides a novel approach for the evacuation guidance problem. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to the static guidance method, and on par with the manually designed model method. Full article
