Recent studies have shown that with appropriate operator decision support and with sufficient automation, inverting the multiple operators to single-unmanned vehicle control paradigm is possible. These studies, however, have generally focused on homogeneous teams of vehicles, and have not completely addressed either the manifestation of heterogeneity in vehicle teams, or the effects of heteroge...

Urban traffic gathers increasing interest as cities become bigger, crowded and “smart”. We present a system for heterogeneous stream processing and crowdsourcing supporting intelligent urban traffic management. Complex events related to traffic congestion (trends) are detected from heterogeneous sources involving fixed sensors mounted on intersections and mobile sensors mounted on public transp...

Sufficient camera coverage is critical to the maintenance of the track continuity of a moving target across a large scale surveillance area. Due to economic and bandwidth reasons, it is often not possible to ensure that cameras within a large distributed surveillance system always have overlapping coverage. Traditional tracking schemes that rely on fixed stationary cameras are prone to fail whe...

nowadays, using public transportation vehicles like metro in large cities are of significance, and exposure to whole-body vibration for the metro passengers is one of the physical contaminations. this paper is conducted with the aim of evaluating the passengers’ convenience and health both in sitting and standing conditions. the present study was done on the passengers of lines 1, 2, and 4 of t...

For an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), Accurate and real time measurement of traffic parameters such as type and number of vehicles, their individual speeds and overall flow pattern are essential to successfully implemented and thus enable optimal utility of existing roadways. For the accurate measurement of such traffic parameters, an efficient vehicle detector is essential. The senso...

The heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (HFFOVRP) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP). The HFFOVRP is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. In this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...

The vision of the upcoming 6G technologies that have fast data rate, low latency, and ultra-dense network, draws great attentions to Internet Vehicles (IoV) Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication for intelligent transportation systems. There is an urgent need distributed machine learning techniques can take advantages massive interconnected networks with explosive amount heterogeneous genera...
