In the last decades the development of very high speed trains in railway transportation requires new maintenance strategies. New trolleys equipped with innovative measuring systems have been employed for monitoring overhead lines (catenaries). Using this system gives two great advantages: i) the diagnose can be performed with a low level of breaking in railway traffic; ii) the monitoring can be...

Algorithms for timetable information systems are usually based on Dijkstra’s algorithm. The concrete scenario that we have in mind is a central information server in the realm of public railroad traffic on wide-area networks. Due to the large size of the underlying timetables the efficiency of a naive implementation is not acceptable in practice, so usually heuristics are used to improve the ef...

Existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures rely completely on human supervision and control. However, with the burgeoning traffic demands, it has become necessary to find options for automated (and possibly decentralized) traffic control. In particular, the problem of aircraft collision avoidance is of great interest. However, current approaches, [1] [2], are either computationally intensive...

Testing network processor based high throughput applications require high-speed traffic generator. Commercial traffic generators are very expensive and their internal working is proprietary. Hence, we have designed a network processor based network Traffic Generator (TG). The Control Plane (CP) takes care of the configuration of the traffic profile. The data plane (DP) is responsible for actual...
