Autonomous vehicle navigation is a key component of modern intelligent transportation systems, relying on the integration of multiple sensors such as LiDAR, radar, cameras, GPS, and IMUs. Sensor fusion techniques combine data from these sources to improve perception, localization, and reliability. This paper reviews classical pre-2018 sensor fusion methods, including Kalman Filters, Extended Kalman Filters (EKF), Unscented Kalman Filters (UKF), and particle filters. Different sensors have individual limitations—cameras are affected by lighting, LiDAR is costly, and radar has lower resolution—but fusion enhances overall system performance by leveraging their complementary strengths. The study examines low-, mid-, and high-level fusion approaches and proposes a hybrid framework using GPS/IMU for localization and LiDAR-camera fusion for obstacle detection. The system is based on probabilistic and Bayesian models, designed for real-time performance and robustness against noise and sensor failures. Key challenges such as synchronization, calibration, and computational complexity are discussed. Results show that sensor fusion significantly improves navigation accuracy, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate algorithms based on application needs.Overall, the paper emphasizes that multi-sensor fusion is essential for safe and reliable autonomous driving and provides a foundation for future advancements in the field.

Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and climate change have intensified water scarcity, creating a need for intelligent water distribution systems. Traditional leak detection methods rely on manual inspections and threshold-based monitoring, resulting in delayed detection, high water losses, increased maintenance costs, and infrastructure damage. This study proposes an AI-enabled Autonomous Water Distribution System (AWDS) that integrates IoT sensors, cloud-edge computing, and predictive analytics for real-time pipeline monitoring and early leak detection. The framework collects data from pressure, flow, acoustic, and water quality sensors, applying machine learning algorithms to identify hydraulic anomalies and predict leakage probabilities. It also incorporates digital twins and hydraulic simulation models to improve adaptability under varying operational conditions. Mathematical models evaluate leak probability, sensor reliability, and system performance, enabling proactive maintenance and informed decision-making. The proposed architecture enhances detection accuracy, minimizes false alarms, reduces non-revenue water losses and operational costs, and improves infrastructure resilience, supporting sustainable, reliable, and intelligent water resource management.

Cognitive Data Engineering (CDE) is an advanced paradigm that integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and knowledge-based systems into traditional data engineering to enable automated and intelligent data management. This paper presents a Cognitive Data Engineering Framework (CDEF) designed to automate key data lifecycle processes such as ingestion, transformation, integration, quality assurance, and governance. Unlike conventional rule-based pipelines, the proposed framework adapts dynamically to data changes, anomalies, and schema evolution through self-learning and context-aware capabilities. The framework employs metadata-driven intelligence, semantic modeling, reinforcement learning, and cognitive agents within a layered architecture comprising perception, reasoning, learning, and execution. It also leverages knowledge graphs and ontologies to enhance semantic interoperability and data discovery. Experimental results demonstrate improved performance, reduced errors, and increased flexibility compared to traditional systems. Overall, the study highlights the potential of CDEFs in enabling efficient, scalable, and autonomous data management, with future scope in edge computing, real-time analytics, and self-governing data ecosystems.
