Routing Diverse Evacuees with the Cognitive Packet Network Algorithm

Routing Diverse Evacuees with the Cognitive Packet Network Algorithm

Regarding mobility, health conditions and personal preferences, evacuees can be categorized into different classes in realistic environments. Previous emergency navigation algorithms that direct evacuees with a single decision rule cannot fulfil civilians’ distinct service requirements and increase the likelihood of inducing destructive crowd behaviours, such as clogging, pushing and trampling,...

Routing Emergency Evacuees with Cognitive Packet Networks

Providing optimal and safe routes to evacuees in emergency situations requires fast and adaptive algorithms. The common approaches are often too slow to converge, too complex, or only focus on one aspect of the problem, e.g. finding the shortest path. This paper presents an adaptation of the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) concept to emergency evacuation problems. Using Neural Networks, CPN is a...

Neural Network Based Routing Algorithm for Cognitive Packet Network Architecture

This journal focuses on introducing an adaptive routing algorithm to be used on Wide Area Network(WAN) like Internet, based on the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) architecture to enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered to the end users. This research focuses on Building on top of the CPN network architecture and introducing a neural network based routing algorithm which would improve the ...

Energy-aware routing in the Cognitive Packet Network

An energy aware routing protocol (EARP) is proposed to minimise a performance metric that combines the total consumed power in the network and the QoS that is specified for the flows. The algorithm uses source routing based on the functionalities provided by the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN), running autonomously at each input node to the network based on smart packets which gather relevant in...
