As the network access quality for CN and VN is location related, mobile data offloading(MDO), which dynamically selects access networks for vehicles, should be considered with vehicle route planning to further improve the wireless data throughput of individual vehicles and to enhance the performance of the entire ITS. In this paper, we investigate joint MDO and route selection for an individual vehicle in a metropolitan scenario. We aim to improve the throughput of the target vehicle while guaranteeing its transportation efficiency requirements in terms of traveling time and distance. To achieve this objective, we first formulate the joint route and access network selection problem as a semi-Markov decision process(SMDP). Then we propose an optimal algorithm to calculate its optimal policy. To further reduce the computation complexity, we derive a suboptimal algorithm which reduces the action space. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimal algorithm significantly outperforms the existing work in total throughput and the late arrival ratio.Moreover, the heuristic algorithm is able to substantially reduce the computation time with only slight performance degradation.展开更多

The problem of finding such a path is known as the multi-constrained path （MCP） problem, and has been proven to be NP-complete that cannot be exactly solved in a polynomial time. The NPC problem is converted into a multiobjective optimization problem with constraints to be solved with a genetic algorithm. Based on the Pareto optimum, a constrained routing computation method is proposed to generate a set of nondominated optimal routes with the genetic algorithm mechanism. The convergence and time complexity of the novel algorithm is analyzed. Experimental results show that multiobjective evolution is highly responsive and competent for the Pareto optimum-based route selection. When this method is applied to a MPLS and metropolitan-area network, it will be capable of optimizing the transmission performance.展开更多

However, the waste quality such as chemical toxicity and other engineering factors have not been taken into account. Therefore, a synthetic route selection index, Iroute, is proposed to determine the suitability of a chemical route in this paper. Iroute considers the effects of 'extended atom economy', material renewability, chemical characteristics and some engineering factors. The extended atom economy concept regards not only the value of the desired product but also the value of byproducts. The methodology by using Iroute to compare different routes is illustrated in case study of cyclohexanone oxime and acrylonitrile manufacture.展开更多

The foot of mountain is the first choice when the route passes by the valley. The route should pass by but the shady and deposited slope and not in sunny and erosive slope as possible as it can. The pipeline should be vertical to contour climbing and descending the mountain except steep slope. Tunnel can be used in crossing foothill. Perpendicularly traversing the river is better than beveling; the worst choice is to put the pipeline along the river. Bypass is the best choice in karsts area.

The railway passes through the Longmenshan fault zone (Wenchuan earthquake happened there on May 12, 2008), Minjiang fault zone, and Dongkunlun fault zone, which are all active. It runs over the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and crosses high mountains and deep valleys. There exists, along the railway's alignment, different kinds of strata of hard granite and soft, weak metamorphic rocks such as carbonaceous slate, schist, and phyllite. It is, therefore, a key issue for such an infrastructure construction to assess the engineering geological conditions and risks, so as to mitigate or avoid possible georisks and to offer optional designs. Geological survey and georisk assessment along the railway corridor are carried out. Special attention is given to active faults, earthquakes and seismic zones. Based on these, discussions about geological aspects for route selection of the railway are conducted and countermeasures for georisk control are proposed accordingly. Main conclusions are achieved as follows: (1) Geohazards such as landslides, rockfalls and debries flows dominate both the route selection of the railway and the engineering structures (e.g., tunnels or bridges) adopted; (2) Tunnel has been proved to be an excellent structure for linear engineering in geologically active area; and (3) In the case where avoiding is impractical, necessary protection measures should be taken to engineering slopes in high earthquake intensity areas, especially the area with earthquake of Ms. 8 or greater.展开更多

This paper took Xingtai County, Hebei Province, China as an example to practice greenway route selection in the county territory. Eight factors were selected for greenway route planning, namely elevation, water body, mountain, ecological protection redline, cultural relics protection units, population density, road traffic network, and important transportation hub. These eight factors were assigned in the GIS platform, and the suitability evaluation system of each factor was constructed. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method were combined to calculate the weight of these eight factors. The raster calculator was used to weight and overlay the suitability evaluation system of each factor, and the comprehensive suitability evaluation map of greenway route selection was obtained. Based on an important transport hub, along with the water body and the road traffic, the final selection greenway route of traditional villages in Xingtai county was formed. The results of the research can provide a certain reference for the greenway route selection at the county scale.展开更多

A false injected attack which takes place on application layer is elected by the compromised node. If the false report arrives in a base station, a false alarm is occurred, and the energy of the nodes is consumed. To detect the false report, statistical en-route filtering method is proposed. In this paper, we proposed the secure path cycle selection method using fuzzy rule-based system to consume effective energy. The method makes balanced energy consumption of each node. Moreover, the lifetime of the whole network will be increased. The base station determines the path cycle using the fuzzy rule-based system. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulation studies with the three methods.展开更多

To balance energy consumption, fuzzy next-hop selecting strategy was designed： nodes of different gradients are fuzzily classified into relevant levels; each level has a chance to provide a node with maximum residual energy as the next-hop. Based on the above strategy and directed diffusion （DD）, fuzzy next-hop selection based energy balance （FNSEB） routing protocol was proposed. The simulation results showed that FNSEB utilized the limited energy more thoroughly and rationally, decreased the average energy consumption and prolonged the lifetime of WSNs.展开更多

Although ...An efficient QoS routing algorithm was proposed for multiple constrained path selection. Making use of efficient pruning policy, the algorithm reduces greatly the size of search space and the computing time. Although the proposed algorithm has exponential time complexity in the worst case, it can get the running results quickly in practical application. When the scale of network increases, the algorithm can efficiently control the size of search space by constraint conditions and prior queue. The results of simulation show that successful request ratio ( r ) of efficient algorithm for multi-constrained optimal path (EAMCOP) is better than that of heuristic algorithm for multi-constrained optimal path (H-MCOP), but average computing time ( t ) of EAMCOP is far less than that of H-MCOP. And it can be seen that the computing time of EAMCOP is only one fourth of that of H-MCOP in Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANet) topology.展开更多

We focus on improving those severely congested links. Firstly,a multi-agent system is built,where each agent stands for a vehicle,and it makes its routing selection by considering the shortest path and the minimum congested degree of the target link simultaneously. The agent-based model captures the nonlinear feedback between vehicle routing behaviors and road-network congestion status.Secondly,a hybrid routing selection strategy is provided,which guides the vehicle routes adapting to the realtime road-network congestion status. On this basis, we execute simulation experiments and compare the simulation results of network congestion distribution,by Floyd agent with shortest path strategy and our proposed adaptive agent with hybrid strategy. The simulation results show that our proposed model has reduced the congestion degree of those seriously congested links of road-network. Finally,we execute our model on a real road map. The results finds that those seriously congested roads have some common features such as located at the road junction or near the unique road connecting two areas. And,the results also show an effectiveness of our model on reduction of those seriously congested links in this actual road network. Such a bottom-up congestion control approach with a hybrid congestion optimization perspective will have its significance for actual traffic congestion control.展开更多

文摘Up till now,no systematic studies on railway route selection in urban areas,HSR route selection in particular,have been taken in China.Based on the Shenzhen Railway Terminal Project and the Shenzhen-Shanwei Railway Project,research on HSR route selection in complicated urban areas has been conducted.An optimal route selection plan is determined after studying the local geological and environmental conditions and the complexity of tunnel construction.The research concludes that there are four major concerns in HSR route selection:the match between the new route and the urban planning,the potential economic return for the massive investment,the likely impacts of land expropriation on social stability,and the best synthesis of multiple controlling factors to meet the HSR standard.Moreover,six principles should be followed in railway route selection in complicated urban areas:the new route should be in alignment with the railway deployment;the route should align with the existing passage as much as possible;extensive analysis and in-depth demonstrations should be done to find the most appropriate combination of open and hidden excavation in tunnel construction;geological conditions and tunnel construction complexities are among the priorities;environmental sensitive sites and environmental vibration noise should be avoided as much as possible;special attention should be paid to the relocation of the power supply,television and communication facilities and the rearrangement of tubes and wires.
文摘Sensor nodes are easily compromised to malicious attackers due to an open environment. A false injected attack which takes place on application layer is elected by the compromised node. If the false report arrives in a base station, a false alarm is occurred, and the energy of the nodes is consumed. To detect the false report, statistical en-route filtering method is proposed. In this paper, we proposed the secure path cycle selection method using fuzzy rule-based system to consume effective energy. The method makes balanced energy consumption of each node. Moreover, the lifetime of the whole network will be increased. The base station determines the path cycle using the fuzzy rule-based system. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulation studies with the three methods.

文摘The real-time path optimization for heterogeneous vehicle fleets in large-scale road networks presents significant challenges due to conflicting traffic demands and imbalanced resource allocation.While existing vehicleto-infrastructure coordination frameworks partially address congestion mitigation,they often neglect priority-aware optimization and exhibit algorithmic bias toward dominant vehicle classes—critical limitations in mixed-priority scenarios involving emergency vehicles.To bridge this gap,this study proposes a preference game-theoretic coordination framework with adaptive strategy transfer protocol,explicitly balancing system-wide efficiency(measured by network throughput)with priority vehicle rights protection(quantified via time-sensitive utility functions).The approach innovatively combines(1)a multi-vehicle dynamic routing model with quantifiable preference weights,and(2)a distributed Nash equilibrium solver updated using replicator sub-dynamic models.The framework was evaluated on an urban road network containing 25 intersections with mixed priority ratios(10%–30%of vehicles with priority access demand),and the framework showed consistent benefits on four benchmarks(Social routing algorithm,Shortest path algorithm,The comprehensive path optimisation model,The emergency vehicle timing collaborative evolution path optimization method)showed consistent benefits.Results showthat across different traffic demand configurations,the proposed method reduces the average vehicle traveling time by at least 365 s,increases the road network throughput by 48.61%,and effectively balances the road loads.This approach successfully meets the diverse traffic demands of various vehicle types while optimizing road resource allocations.The proposed coordination paradigm advances theoretical foundations for fairness-aware traffic optimization while offering implementable strategies for next-generation cooperative vehicle-road systems,particularly in smart city deployments requiring mixed-priority mobility guarantees.

文摘The implementation of energy balanced routing is an effective way to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks （WSNs）. To balance energy consumption, fuzzy next-hop selecting strategy was designed： nodes of different gradients are fuzzily classified into relevant levels; each level has a chance to provide a node with maximum residual energy as the next-hop. Based on the above strategy and directed diffusion （DD）, fuzzy next-hop selection based energy balance （FNSEB） routing protocol was proposed. The simulation results showed that FNSEB utilized the limited energy more thoroughly and rationally, decreased the average energy consumption and prolonged the lifetime of WSNs.
文摘An efficient QoS routing algorithm was proposed for multiple constrained path selection. Making use of efficient pruning policy, the algorithm reduces greatly the size of search space and the computing time. Although the proposed algorithm has exponential time complexity in the worst case, it can get the running results quickly in practical application. When the scale of network increases, the algorithm can efficiently control the size of search space by constraint conditions and prior queue. The results of simulation show that successful request ratio ( r ) of efficient algorithm for multi-constrained optimal path (EAMCOP) is better than that of heuristic algorithm for multi-constrained optimal path (H-MCOP), but average computing time ( t ) of EAMCOP is far less than that of H-MCOP. And it can be seen that the computing time of EAMCOP is only one fourth of that of H-MCOP in Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANet) topology.

文摘This paper investigates the power control and routing problem in the communication process of an energy harvesting(EH)multi-hop cognitive radio network(CRN).The secondary user(SU)nodes(i.e.,source node and relay nodes)harvest energy from the environment and use the energy exclusively for transmitting data.The SU nodes(i.e.,relay nodes)on the path,store and forward the received data to the destination node.We consider a real world scenario where the EH-SU node has only local causal knowledge,i.e.,at any time,each EH-SU node only has knowledge of its own EH process,channel state and currently received data.In order to study the power and routing issues,an optimization problem that maximizes path throughput considering quality of service(QoS)and available energy constraints is proposed.To solve this optimization problem,we propose a hybrid game theory routing and power control algorithm(HGRPC).The EH-SU nodes on the same path cooperate with each other,but EH-SU nodes on the different paths compete with each other.By selecting the best next hop node,we find the best strategy that can maximize throughput.In addition,we have established four steps to achieve routing,i.e.,route discovery,route selection,route reply,and route maintenance.Compared with the direct transmission,HGRPC has advantages in longer distances and higher hop counts.The algorithm generates more energy,reduces energy consumption and increases predictable residual energy.In particular,the time complexity of HGRPC is analyzed and its convergence is proved.In simulation experiments,the performance(i.e.,throughput and bit error rate(BER))of HGRPC is evaluated.Finally,experimental results show that HGRPC has higher throughput,longer network life,less latency,and lower energy consumption.

文摘This paper proposes an adaptive agent model with a hybrid routing selection strategy for studying the road-network congestion problem. We focus on improving those severely congested links. Firstly,a multi-agent system is built,where each agent stands for a vehicle,and it makes its routing selection by considering the shortest path and the minimum congested degree of the target link simultaneously. The agent-based model captures the nonlinear feedback between vehicle routing behaviors and road-network congestion status.Secondly,a hybrid routing selection strategy is provided,which guides the vehicle routes adapting to the realtime road-network congestion status. On this basis, we execute simulation experiments and compare the simulation results of network congestion distribution,by Floyd agent with shortest path strategy and our proposed adaptive agent with hybrid strategy. The simulation results show that our proposed model has reduced the congestion degree of those seriously congested links of road-network. Finally,we execute our model on a real road map. The results finds that those seriously congested roads have some common features such as located at the road junction or near the unique road connecting two areas. And,the results also show an effectiveness of our model on reduction of those seriously congested links in this actual road network. Such a bottom-up congestion control approach with a hybrid congestion optimization perspective will have its significance for actual traffic congestion control.

文摘A methodology is proposed to evaluate and rank potential sites for facilities dealing with hazardous materials(HAZMAT).The proposed methodology incorporates HAZMAT route planning into facility siting while considering transportation preferences and challenges.The area of interest is divided into smaller zones representing potential sites for a HAZMAT facility.A multimodal transportation network including railways and roads is considered for transportation of HAZMAT.Each zone is evaluated based on its accessibility from a set of selected points of interests(POIs),which are defined as potential origin/destination points for transportation of HAZMAT.The shortest routes between each POI and potential zones are evaluated based on a cost function which can accommodate multiple criteria to determine the associated disutility for each potential zone.Finally,zones are ranked based on their cumulative disutility scores.The proposed analysis method is quantitative,and at the same time it is adequately flexible to allow inclusion of subjective criteria.Application of the proposed methodology is demonstrated for identifying optimal locations for a HAZMAT facility(e.g.,a nuclear facility)using the Canadian province of Saskatchewan as an example.Three scenarios were evaluated including(1)all network segments and POIs were treated equally,(2)network segments were rank ordered based on their functional classification while POIs were treated equally and(3)network segments were rank ordered based on their functional classification with preferences given to specific POI(s).
