    Combating Road Traffic Congestion with Big Data: A Bibliometric Review and Analysis of Scientific Research
    (Springer, 2021) Dogo, E.M.; Makaba, T.; Afolabi, O.J.; Ajibo, A.C.
    Road traffic congestion is one of the challenging problems confronting city dwellers globally. It is majorly caused by either one or a combination of recurrent congestion, nonrecurrent congestion, and precongestion conditions in urban road networks. This chapter performs a bibliometric analysis and reviews the volume of literature linking big data with combating road traffic congestion between 2011 and 2020. The review employs a quantitative analysis of bibliometric science mapping tool to highlight features that affect knowledge accumulation. The chapter also reviews the intellectual structure of knowledge based on total publications and citations. The key scholars, documents, affiliations, regions, data, and algorithms that influenced the development of this research area are analyzed. The results of documents co-citation evaluation show that the key research clusters are salient elements linked with the development and deployment of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) technology. These research clusters are traffic flow prediction, congestion and accidents alert systems, security and privacy mitigation, vehicle emission profiles, travel time estimation, optimization of vehicular routing, journey planning and congestion prediction, and travel and parking guidance. Finally, the chapter presents the way forward and future research direction for sustainable road traffic management in the context of smart city initiatives leveraging on big data.

    The Design and Performance Evaluation of a Wireless Sensor Network Based Irrigation System on Different Soil Types
    (2021) Umar, B. U.; Dogo, E.M.; Nuhu, B. K.; Haq, A. K.; Olaleye, P. T.
    In the Nigerian economy, agriculture plays a very important role, and most of its people depend on it for their livelihood. Agricultural practices in the country are still mainly based on conventional, traditional methods of farming which usually results in wastage of water resources and low production of crops to meet the country's demand. There is a need to transform farming from the traditional way to a more efficient method with optimum water utilization. Irrigation is an assistive measure to salvage the problem of inadequate water for dry season farming. Irrigation consumes a lot of water, time and must be done on a timely basis. The automated irrigation system helps to curb the problem of overwatering and under watering of the land. This research proposed an Arduino-based smart irrigation system using a wireless sensor network to overcome the problem of overwatering, underwatering, and efficient time utilization in farming. The system is implemented using Arduino IDE, Proteus Simulation Tools, and Blynk Platform. The effect of the four-mobile network: MTN, GLO, Airtel and 9mobile on response time for Gidan- Kwano area was evaluated. Testing carried out on the system resulted in a response time of 0.75 seconds for Glo 2G network and 0.45 seconds for Glo 4G network. Less than 1sec in the worst-case scenario. This makes the system effective in terms of time response, thereby eradicate the waste of time that manual system operation poised to irrigation scheduling. Also, the appropriate soil moisture content is maintained, whether it rains or not. This reduces excesses and ensures healthy plant growth, increasing agricultural productivity, and cultivating crops are made possible throughout the year. The system also will help in driving agricultural innovation through the use of IoT.

    A Secure Electronic Voting System Using Multifactor Authentication and Blockchain Technologies.
    (2022) Olaniyi, O.M.; Dogo, E.M.; Nuhu, B.K.; Treiblmaier, H.; Abdulsalam, Y.S.; Folawiyo, Z.
    This chapter presents a distributed e-voting system that solves the problems of vote-rigging, voter impersonation, and vote falsification, all of which are prevalent in traditional paper ballot systems. In general, the digitization of democratic decision-making is convenient, fast, and cost-saving but can become a gateway for electoral fraud if not properly secured. Authentication and the simultaneous achievement of confidentiality, integrity, and availability represent major challenges toward establishing e-voting as a reliable means of democratic decision-making. In this chapter, a combination of multifactor authentication (MFA) and blockchain techniques is used to secure electronic voting. MFA hampers the compromising of voters’ identities and allows for easy verification, while blockchain technology protects the integrity of the votes and ensures the verifiability of the cast votes. Combining a facial recognition algorithm and RFID authenticates and authorizes voters to participate in the election process. A smart contract implemented on an Ethereum network provides the required measures of integrity and verifiability for secure e-voting. Performance evaluations of the proposed approach show that the MFA yielded a 0.1% false acceptance rate and a 0.8% false rejection rate for 100 voters, respectively. This illustrates that the proposed technique can solve issues of authentication and integrity, thereby paving the way for free, fair, and credible e-democratic decision-making in digitally enabled voting scenarios.
