This paper presents an integrated routing and MAC scheduling algorithm (IRMA) for improving system performance in multihop wireless mesh networks. The IRMA approach is motivated by the fact that conventional contention-based MAC protocols such as 802.11 do not perform well in combination with independent ad hoc routing protocols such as DSR, DSDV or AODV due to interactions between neighboring ...

Real-time applications, such as process control signals, multimedia transmission, are more and more deployed in current networks. These applications produce a type of traffic with stringent timing requirements whose transmission is critical as it has to be completed within its deadline. This transmission can be performed only if the communication system uses protocols that support real-time tra...

The lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. It is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. Therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (MANFIS) are proposed for this behavior. These models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a Driver...

Using MPLS for efficient traffic engineering crucially depends on the optimal dimensioning of Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The standard formulation as multi-commodity flow problem periodically solves a mixed integer programming problem that maximizes total network revenue, assuming fixed charges for carrying traffic of a certain QoS (Quality-of-Service). This paper generalizes this approach: ch...

To improve the level of service for Community Transit (CT) buses, the South Snohomish Regional Transit Signal Priority (SS-RTSP) project was launched. To understand the overall benefit of this project, the SS-RTSP system was tested and evaluated after the hardware and software had been installed on the 164 th Street SW corridor (Phase One) and the SR 99 corridor (Phase Two) in Snohomish County,...

This study discusses the results of ecological risk analysis sediments taken from Kilitbahir Port, one most active ports on shores Strait Çanakkale. ICP-MS analyzes collected samples revealed moderate enrichment in Mo, Cu and Zn relation to anthropogenic activities studied sediments. The compatibility geoaccumulation factor data explains that pollution is anthropogenic. No significant toxic was...

Automated Vehicles (AVs) will bring a fundamental change in the mobility sector coming years. Whereas many studies emphasize opportunities with AVs, on impacts of AVs travel behavior particularly show an overall increase traffic volume. This could impair needs other uses and users within street spaces decrease permeability space for pedestrians cyclists. However, only few studies, so far, have ...
