The rapid growths of power demand and renewable resources have led to numerous challenges. Constructing more resilient microgrids (MGs) provides an opportunity avoid dependency on the main grid. This article proposes innovative Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for that uses non-conventional energy sources such as solar power, wind storage electric vehicles (EVs). Numerous studies been published...

With number of moving vehicles, vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is formed. These are provided with the wireless connections. This network is one kind of class of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) where the communication occurs between various vehicles moving on the paths. VANETs have heterogeneous nature as they provide wireless communication in between various moving vehicles (V2V) together with ...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the impact of increasing automation replanning rates on operator performance and workload when supervising a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. BACKGROUND Futuristic unmanned vehicles systems will invert the operator-to-vehicle ratio so that one operator can control multiple dissimilar vehicles connected through a decentralized network. Sig...

Absolute positioning of vehicles is based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) combined with on-board sensors and high-resolution maps. In Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), the positioning performance can be augmented by means of vehicular networks that enable vehicles to share location-related information. This paper presents an Implicit Cooperative Positioning (...

The problem of integrating task assignment and planning paths for a group of cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles, servicing multiple targets, is addressed. In the problem of interest the uninhabited aerial vehicles need to perform multiple consecutive tasks cooperatively on each ground target. A Dubins car model is used for motion planning, taking into account each vehicle’s specific constr...

Headway or inter-arrival time of vehicles is an important parameter in traffic flow, especially in urban roads, since this is one of the main parameters to determine the minimum (safe) gap between vehicles and the capacity. The studies done on headway analysis have mostly concentrated on homogeneous traffic where the flow follows lane discipline. This ideal situation does not exist on Indian ur...
