Challenges to data sharing of electric vehicles: alleviating privacy concerns with edge computing
The Australian Government has released Australia’s first National Electric Vehicle Strategy to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia (Australian Government, 2023), which has the potential to reduce carbon emissions substantially, given that electricity is produced from renewable energy sources (Degirmenci & Breitner, 2017).Despite environmental benefits like reduced carbon emissions, EV owners become increasingly concerned about their privacy due to enhanced EV connectivity and increased personal data sharing through EV digital services. Edge computing, where data is processed …

Understanding user behaviours of kinetic energy harvesting
Kinetic energy harvesters are used in devices such as wearable fitness trackers and smartwatches to capture energy from human movement to prolong battery life. They are emerging as both an energy source and a means to provide context information for recognizing human physical activities like exercising or walking (Sandhu et al, 2023).Kinetic energy harvesters provide several benefits, including cost reduction associated with battery replacement and maintenance, minimizing electronic waste, and decreasing the carbon footprint related to energy production and disposal. …
