With the world population highly increasing, efficient methods of transportation are more necessary than ever. On other hand, sharing economy must be explored and applied where possible, aiming to palliate effects human development on environment. In this paper we explore demand-responsive shared as a system with potential serve its users’ displacement needs while being less polluting. contrast...

Due to the increasing demand for traveling in public transportation systems and increasing traffic of vehicles, nowadays vehicles are getting to be intelligent to increase safety, reduce the probability of accident and also financial costs. Therefore, today, most vehicles are equipped with multiple safety control and vehicle navigation systems. In the process of developing such systems, simulat...

This paper presents a hybrid control framework for the motion planning of a multi-agent system including N robotic agents and M objects, under high level goals expressed as Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formulas. In particular, we design control protocols that allow the transition of the agents as well as the cooperative transportation of the objects by the agents, among predefined regions of int...

In this paper, combined GPS and GLONASS positioning systems are discussed and some solutions have been proposed to improve the accuracy of navigation. Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) is able to provide position, velocity and time with respect to coordinated universal time. GNSS positioning is based on received satellite signals, so its performance is highly dependent on the quality of...

In this paper we describe applications, research issues, and approaches related to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). More specifically, we focus on spatio-temporal databases in urban transportation. We address the issues of trip planning and navigation, abstraction of concepts from spatio-temporal sensor data, mobile peer-to-peer data management, and social networks and crowd-sourcing. ...

Navigation systems nowadays have become ubiquitous, with many users relaying on them to find on-the-fly directions to new locations. With current advances in technology, modern navigation systems augment navigation directions with new information ranging from traffic, tolls, accidents and any other issue that could lead to delays in a given route, to social network aspects such as schedule, fri...
