Computerized systems are becoming smaller, ubiquitous and more interconnected. Netbooks to smart highways all are expected to be more autonomous and connected to each-other. Such interconnected systems have to manage information and regulate actions on their own, with minimal external guidance. A sensor network is a typical example. With scarce resources and no ready infrastructure, it forms a ...

In this paper we analyze in detail the energy consumption characteristics of the Wireless HART protocol when operated with a popular transceiver, the ChipCon CC2420. We analyze how much various factors contribute to the overall energy consumption over a longer period of 12 h. These factors include the amount of management traffic and the power levels required for various transceiver activities ...

The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RA) in new asphalt pavements can provide important economical savings, while reducing the negative environmental impact. The European research project PARAMIX aims to improve the techniques for hot mix recycling in plant and cold mix in situ recycling, so as to increase the amount of reclaimed asphalt and develop competitive road pavement rehabilitation te...

This paper presents a scalable, discreet and mobile video-camera system that takes elevated video data of roadway locations for traffic safety analysis. The video is used to extract microscopic traffic parameters including road-user trajectories, lane changes and speeds. Collected video data is processed using an open-source automatic tracking tool. Trajectories can be then used to analyse road...
