rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

Traffic engineering in P2P networks deals with organizing overlay networks. The challenge of unavailability has not been mastered yet. Considering the resource allocation can gain further improvements. While adapting P2P file sharing onto mobile infrastructures, we learned that replication is a solution to both issues: availability and traffic optimization.

Nowadays, one of the problems of human life is popula- tion congestion and the lack of ability to meet their needs. One of the important infrastructures affected by this issue is the transportation infrastructure. Moreover, increasing transportation facilities through conventional methods, due to the need for macro investment and much time, cannot be nowadays considered as a proper and practi- ...

Movement of people in a city forms a complex system, which includes street networks, traffic infrastructures (e.g. traffic lights, signs) as well as the actions of intelligent pedestrians and vehicles. Since increasing traffic has become a common problem all over the world recently, a peer-to-peer shared ride trip planning system is designed as a solution. With transportation client and host ag...

Society is increasingly dependent on the proper functioning of the electric power system, which in turn supports most other critical infrastructures: water and sewage systems; telecommunications, internet and computing services; air traffic, railroads and other transportation. Many of these other infrastructures are able to operate without power for shorter periods of time, but larger power out...

The growing of the number of vehicles cause serious strains on road infrastructures. Traffic jams inevitably occur, wasting time and money for both cities and their drivers. To mitigate this problem, traffic simulation tools based on multiagent techniques can be used to quickly prototype potentially problematic scenarios to better understand their inherent causes. This work centers around the e...

The increasing number of users as well as their demand for more and richer content has led to an exponential growth of Internet traffic for more than 15 years. In addition, new applications and use cases have changed the type of traffic. For example, social networking enables users to publish their own content. This user generated content is often published on popular sites such as YouTube, Twi...

The requirements for the security of network communication in critical infrastructures have been more focused on availability data rather than integrity and confidentiality. IEC 61850 substations can be hindered by Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) poisoning attacks that might result threats such as Denial Service (DoS) or flooding attacks. In order to accurately detect similar a...

Induction loop detectors have become the most utilized sensors in traffic management systems. The gathered traffic data is used to improve traffic efficiency (i.e., warning users about congested areas or planning new infrastructures). Despite their usefulness, their deployment and maintenance costs are expensive. Vehicular networks are an emerging technology that can support novel strategies fo...
