Modern Mobile Infrastructure in Transport and Forwarding

Inclusion of Health in Environmental Impact Assessment of Major Transport Infrastructure Projects in Vietnam

Background Infrastructure spending, especially in the transport sector, is expected to increase rapidly in Vietnam. This boost in transportation investment impacts health. Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are essential tools for decision-making to reduce and mitigate anticipated impacts of development projects, and integration of health assessment as an essential part of the EIA process ...

Design an Efficient Community-based Message Forwarding Method in Mobile Social Networks

Mobile social networks (MSNs) are a special type of Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) in which mobile devices communicate opportunistically to each other. One of the most challenging issues in Mobile Social Networks (MSNs) is to design an efficient message forwarding scheme that has a high performance in terms of delivery ratio, latency and communication cost. There are two different approaches fo...

Automatic Recognition of Public Transport Trips from Mobile Device Sensor Data and Transport Infrastructure Information

Automatic detection of public transport (PT) usage has important applications for intelligent transport systems. It is crucial for understanding the commuting habits of passengers at large and over longer periods of time. It also enables compilation of door-to-door trip chains, which in turn can assist public transport providers in improved optimisation of their transport networks. In addition,...

Mobile-relay Forwarding in Opportunistic Networks

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Forwarding in Green Vehicular Infrastructure

Smart scheduling can be used to reduce infrastructure-to-vehicle energy costs in delay tolerant vehicular networks (Hammad et al., 2010). In this thesis we show that by combining this with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) forwarding, energy efficiency can be increased beyond that possible in the single hop case. This is accomplished by having the roadside infrastructure forward packets through vehicles...
