Demand Supply Oriented Taxi Suggestion System for Vehicular Social Networks with Fuel Charging Mechanism

Road Oriented Traffic Information System for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks

Over the last few years, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have gained popularity for their interesting applications. To make efficient routing decisions, VANET routing protocols require road traffic density information for which they use density estimation schemes. This paper presents a distributed mechanism for road vehicular density estimation that considers multiple road factors, such as r...

Supply Optimization for Power Demand from PHEV Charging Stations

As plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) become more and more preferable to customers than the vehicles burning fossil fuels when the oil price goes up, the increasing power demand from PHEV charging stations will impose an challenge to the power grid operator that cannot be neglected. In this paper, based on a battery replacement strategy adopted charging stations, firstly, an estimation alg...

Service Demand Discovery Mechanism for Mobile Social Networks

In the last few years, the service demand for wireless data over mobile networks has continually been soaring at a rapid pace. Thereinto, in Mobile Social Networks (MSNs), users can discover adjacent users for establishing temporary local connection and thus sharing already downloaded contents with each other to offload the service demand. Due to the partitioned topology, intermittent connectio...

Enabling Energy Demand Response with Vehicular Mesh Networks

Inter-vehicle communication is becoming increasingly important in recent years. Traditional research efforts on vehicular networks have been put into safety or infotainment applications. In this article, we propose a Vehicular Mesh network (VMesh) to inter-connect disjoint sensor networks and act as a data transit network. Our VMesh networks are designed to provide a low cost, high fidelity, sc...
