In order to decide on advertisement fees for web servers, Naor and Pinkas [15] introduced metering schemes secure against coalition of corrupt servers and clients. In their schemes any server is able to construct a proof to be sent to an audit agency if and only if it has been visited by at least a certain number of clients. After that in series of papers Masucci et. al. [1–3, 13, 14] generaliz...

Time-based metering is an efficient air traffic management alternative to the more common practice of distance-based metering (or “miles-in-trail spacing”). Despite having demonstrated significant operational benefit to airspace users and service providers, time-based metering is used in the United States for arrivals to just nine airports and is not used at all for non-arrival traffic flows. T...

As an efficient traffic control strategy to ameliorate freeway traffic congestion, ramp metering has been successfully applied in the US. However, the applicability and effectiveness of a ramp-metering strategy are required to be investigated during the preimplementation phase in order to ensure the success of the implementation. The use of traffic simulation models can provide a quick and cost...

Accurate anomaly detection of gateway electrical energy metering device is important for maintenance and operations in the power systems. Traditionally, was typically performed manually through analysis collected information. However, manual process time-consuming labor-intensive. In this condition, paper proposes a hybrid deep-learning model, which integrates Stacked Autoencoder (SAE) Long Sho...

The Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) brought great computational advancements to transform the computing paradigm into a living ecosystem from edge infrastructures to business value propositions. Such advancements form a collaboration network among various entities, services and things which we call Edge-to-Business (E2B) value chain. However, along with the rise of E2B evolution, there is a need f...

We develop an anticipative model-based predictive traffic control approach for ramp metering in freeway traffic networks. If ramp metering is implemented in a freeway network with alternative routes, traffic can spontaneously re-route due to the response of the drivers to the applied control actions. Although spontaneous re-routing can have a significant influence on the resulting traffic situa...

A real-time smart metering system has strict requirements, since every piece of data gathered from various meters every hour is of importance, and each component consisting of metering infrastructure should be sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently manage the meter data set in smart metering networks as well as in a server. Therefore, we propose a dedicated file system, a LIght-...

Congestion is always a serious problem in many transportation commuting corridors. The need to implement effective control in the corridors has long been recognized by transportation professionals. Ramp metering has been discussed as a viable control strategy on freeways in many places of the US, which may alleviate or at least reduce the delay. In this study, a dynamic ramp metering control mo...

In order to improve air pressure utilization and working performance, the direct seed-metering device for rice was designed with spoiler blades embedded in cavity. The study carried out using theoretical analysis hydrodynamic methods obtain optimum structure of blades. Taking rotating speed cavity, negative filling height as test factors, multiple regression response surface were best parameter...
