TY - BOOK AV - none N1 - cited By 1 N2 - Smart Cities have a high quality of life determined by several variables with renewable transport networks, protection and health, open space connectivity, and other critical facilities. The key elements of smart city classification are transportation, traffic management, and parking. Among those elements, the intelligent transportation system plays a vital role. Big data analytics can create smart cities to achieve a smart transport system, autonomous vehicles, and crowdsourcing. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread quickly through China since December 2019 and later globally. As this article was written, the disease was reported to globally infect 100 countries. Evening transmission from person to person is a practical approach for controlling and preventing the epidemic. Specific everyday tasks, such as logistics that move goods in our daily lives, ultimately require interaction between men. Using an automated logistic vehicle has been the preferred option for achieving the contactless transportation of goods. This chapter describes Hercules, an autonomous logistic vehicle used to move goods without touch during the outbreak of COVID-19. The vehicle shall be equipped for autonomous navigation capability. The research introduces the mechanism for smart charging of shared autonomous electric vehicles. Researchers include information on the hardware and software and the algorithms for achieving autonomous navigation, including vision, planning, and control. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are believed to provide many profits for individuals and society, with increased road safety, reduced traffic congestion, and an improved ecological footprint. However, many barriers still hinder the widespread acceptance of autonomous driving. During this pandemic situation, decision-making towards adopting autonomous driving imposes a more accessible and reliable way to deliver things, such as food and medical supplies, in an emergency than policymakers and automakers have devoted in recent years. Innovative AVs emerge as potential energy savers in the transportation system. There is a cumulative emphasis on AVs together in terms of rapid technological advances and evaluating these technologies and their significant effects on society and transportation systems during COVID-19 around the world. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
