A Survey of Technologies and Recent Developments for Sustainable Smart Cycling
Among the problems resulting from the continuous urbanization process, inefficient urban mobility and high pollution levels have been complex challenges that have demanded a lot of public investments and research efforts. Recently, some alternative transportation means have been leveraged as sustain...
