Item type:Publication, A Transformer-Based Multi-Task Learning Model for Vehicle Traffic Surveillance(MDPI AG, 2025-11-29) ;Fernando Hermosillo-Reynoso; ;Erica Ruiz-Ibarra ;Armando García-BerumenVehicle traffic surveillance (VTS) systems are based on the automatic analysis of video sequences to detect, classify, and track vehicles in urban environments. The design of new VTS systems requires computationally efficient architectures with high performance in accuracy. Conventional approaches based on multi-stage pipelines have been successfully used during the last decade. However, these systems need to be improved to face the challenges of complex, high-mobility traffic environments. This article proposes an efficient system based on transformer architectures for VTS channels. The proposed analysis system is evaluated in scenarios with high vehicle density and occlusions. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme reduces the computational complexity required for multi-object detection and tracking and exhibits a Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy (MOTA) of 0.757 and an identity F1 score (IDF1) of 0.832 when compared to conventional multi-stage systems under the same conditions and parameters, along with achieving a high detection precision of 0.934. The results show the viability of implementing the proposed system in practical applications for high-density vehicle VTS channels.35 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Bridging the Digital Divide in Mexico: A Critical Analysis of Telecommunications Infrastructure and Predictive Models for Policy Innovation(2024); ;Ramon A. Briseño; ; <jats:p>This work presents an in-depth evaluation of the telecommunications landscape in Mexico from 2015 to 2023. The study’s primary focus is on the disparities in broadband access, telecommunications infrastructure, and digital inclusion across various regions, particularly between urban and rural areas. By employing predictive models and correlation analysis, the paper identifies key factors influencing technology adoption and service bundling in households. A significant contribution of this research lies in its identification of strong correlations between broadband access, GDP growth, and the penetration of multiple telecommunication services such as fixed telephony, broadband internet, and television. The predictive models developed offer crucial insights into the regional inequalities of digital access, revealing patterns that policymakers can use to prioritize infrastructure investments. The findings underscore the essential role of public policy innovation in promoting digital inclusion, particularly in underdeveloped regions, and provide a robust analytical framework for understanding how advanced telecommunications services contribute to socio-economic development. Through this analytical approach, the study demonstrates the critical relationship between telecommunications infrastructure and regional economic performance, offering data-driven recommendations to bridge the digital divide and enhance connectivity in underserved areas. The results offer significant value for future research and policy initiatives aimed at fostering equitable access to Information and communication technologies, promoting economic growth, and ensuring broader societal inclusion in the digital age.</jats:p>26 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A Cloud Microservices Architecture for Data Integrity Verifiability Based on Blockchain(2022); ;Luis Alberto Morales-RosalesIgnacio Algredo-Badillo<jats:p>The current digital age, mainly characterized by an economy based upon information technology, demands a data integrity service, even more so because organizations and companies are migrating their services over the cloud. This is not a simple task; it is cumbersome since traditional schemes in databases could be subject to modifications. However, it can be solved using blockchain technology. This paper provides a data integrity verifiability architecture for cloud systems based on blockchain. The architecture provides a mechanism to store events (as logs) within a blockchain platform from any cloud system. Users can then consult data integrity through a microservice, acting as an intermediate server that carries out a set of verification steps within the blockchain, which confirms the integrity of a previously stored log. Our architecture takes advantage of the blockchain strength concerning integrity, providing a traceability track of the stored logs. A prototype system and a case study were implemented based on the proposed architecture. Our experimental results show that the proposed decentralized architecture can be adapted to cloud existing systems that were born without blockchain technology and require a modular and scalable audit characteristic.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 3 1 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, IoT-Based Smart Gas Meter With LTE Connectivity and Cloud Analytics for Stationary Tanks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2026); ; Millions of homes in developing countries rely on stationary LPG tanks, yet the methods for monitoring fuel levels remain manual, unsafe, and highly inefficient. This paper addresses this issue by presenting the design, development, and implementation of an IoT-based smart gas meter that uses a noninvasive Hall-effect sensor to digitally read existing level gauges. Data is transmitted via LTE, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi and optimizing connectivity. The system is designed for low power consumption, achieving a battery life of more than eight years. Additionally, a cloud architecture is implemented in AWS to process the collected data, allowing real-time analysis, predictive maintenance, and logistics optimization. A field test was also conducted with 15 prototypes, demonstrating accurate gas level monitoring, reliable refill detection, and gas theft prevention.38 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comparison of Collaborative and Cooperative Schemes in Sensor Networks for Non-Invasive Monitoring of People at Home(2023); ; ; Paolo Visconti<jats:p>This paper looks at wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in healthcare, where they can monitor patients remotely. WSNs are considered one of the most promising technologies due to their flexibility and autonomy in communication. However, routing protocols in WSNs must be energy-efficient, with a minimal quality of service, so as not to compromise patient care. The main objective of this work is to compare two work schemes in the routing protocol algorithm in WSNs (cooperative and collaborative) in a home environment for monitoring the conditions of the elderly. The study aims to optimize the performance of the algorithm and the ease of use for people while analyzing the impact of the sensor network on the analysis of vital signs daily using medical equipment. We found relationships between vital sign metrics that have a more significant impact in the presence of a monitoring system. Finally, we conduct a performance analysis of both schemes proposed for the home tracking application and study their usability from the user’s point of view.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 5 2 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Digital Identity Blockchain Ecosystem: Linking Government-Certified and Uncertified Tokenized Objects(MDPI AG, 2025-08-01); ;Javier Gonzalez-SanchezLuis Alberto Morales-RosalesThis paper presents a novel digital identity ecosystem built upon a hierarchical structure of Blockchain tokens, where both government-certified and uncertified tokens can coexist to represent various attributes of an individual’s identity. At the core of this system is the government, which functions as a trusted authority capable of creating entities and issuing a unique, non-replicable digital identity token for each one. Entities are the exclusive owners of their identity tokens and can attach additional tokens—such as those issued by the government, educational institutions, or financial entities—to form a verifiable, token-based digital identity tree. This model accommodates a flexible identity framework that enables decentralized yet accountable identity construction. Our contributions include the design of a digital identity system (supported by smart contracts) that enforces uniqueness through state-issued identity tokens while supporting user-driven identity formation. The model differentiates between user types and certifies tokens according to their source, enabling a scalable and extensible structure. We also analyze the economic, technical, and social feasibility of deploying this system, including a breakdown of transaction costs for key stakeholders such as governments, end-users, and institutions like universities. Considering the benefits of blockchain, implementing a digital identity ecosystem in this technology is economically viable for all involved stakeholders.16
