The combined topics of reliability and security are briefly traced in relation to the past and present endeavors of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Information Directorate. 1. The Past and the Future Prior to being integrated into the Air Force Research Laboratory, the former Rome Laboratory had for many decades a distinguished reliability research program. Because many of the electronic sy...

With reduced environmental impact becoming an increasingly important benefit of the rail transportation mode, continual improvement in efficiency and reduced energy consumption has become a major concern to rail transit operators. For electrified rail transit operations, regenerative braking is one practical way for saving energy because it enables the kinetic energy of a train to be transmitte...

ITE JOURNAL / MARCH 1999 LAS VEGAS, NEV., USA, IS well known for the Strip, the wedding chapels where many Hollywood stars have married and its Elvis impersonators. What is not as widely known is that Las Vegas is home to a relatively large number of small scale Automated People Mover (APM) systems that serve the internal site-circulation needs of resorts. In fact, Las Vegas may be considered t...

This paper describes a cyber-physical system that we called autoBAHN1 as well as some economic and legal aspects for the realization of the vision of a driverless train operating on openly accessible existing railroads, particularly regional branch lines. Existing autonomous trains, for example in use on airports, do not need obstacle recognition because they operate on closed tracks that canno...

Thanks to numerical data gathered by Lyon's shared bicycling system Vélo'v, we are able to analyze 11.6 millions bicycle trips, leading to the first robust characterization of urban bikers' behaviors. We show that bicycles outstrip cars in downtown Lyon, by combining high speed and short paths.These data also allows us to calculate Vélo'v fluxes on all streets, pointing to interesting locations...
