This approach was developed within the wood-forwarding context of four harvest blocks in Northern and Central New Brunswick. Field measurements used for model calibration involved determining soil rut depths, volumetric moisture content, bulk density, soil resistance to cone penetration (referred to as cone index, or CI), and the dimensionless nominal soil cone index (NCI) defined by the ratio of CI over wheel foot print pressure. With STRAM, rut depth is inferred from: 1) machine dimensions pertaining to estimating foot print area and pressure;2) pore-filled soil moisture content and related CI projections guided by year-round daily weather records using the Forest Hydrology Model (ForHyM);3) accounting for within-block soil property variations using multiple and Random Forest regression techniques. Subsequent evaluations of projected soil moisture, CI and rut-depth values accounted for about 40 (multiple regression) and 80 (Random Forest) percent of the corresponding field measured values.展开更多

文摘Traffic sign detection is a critical component of driving systems.Single-stage network-based traffic sign detection algorithms,renowned for their fast detection speeds and high accuracy,have become the dominant approach in current practices.However,in complex and dynamic traffic scenes,particularly with smaller traffic sign objects,challenges such as missed and false detections can lead to reduced overall detection accuracy.To address this issue,this paper proposes a detection algorithm that integrates edge and shape information.Recognizing that traffic signs have specific shapes and distinct edge contours,this paper introduces an edge feature extraction branch within the backbone network,enabling adaptive fusion with features of the same hierarchical level.Additionally,a shape prior convolution module is designed to replaces the first two convolutional modules of the backbone network,aimed at enhancing the model's perception ability for specific shape objects and reducing its sensitivity to background noise.The algorithm was evaluated on the CCTSDB and TT100k datasets,and compared to YOLOv8s,the mAP50 values increased by 3.0%and 10.4%,respectively,demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the accuracy of traffic sign detection.

文摘Urban traffic generates massive and diverse data,yet most systems remain fragmented.Current approaches to congestion management suffer from weak data consistency and poor scalability.This study addresses this gap by proposing the Urban Traffic Congestion Unified Metadata Model(UTC-UMM).The goal is to provide a standardized and extensible framework for describing,extracting,and storing multisource traffic data in smart cities.The model defines a two-tier specification that organizes nine core traffic resource classes.It employs an eXtensible Markup Language(XML)Schema that connects general elements with resource-specific elements.This design ensures both syntactic and semantic interoperability across siloed datasets.Extension principles allow new elements or constraints to be introducedwithout breaking backward compatibility.Adistributed pipeline is implemented usingHadoop Distributed File System(HDFS)and HBase.It integrates computer vision for video and natural language processing for text to automate metadata extraction.Optimized row-key designs enable low-latency queries.Performance is tested with the Yahoo!Cloud Serving Benchmark(YCSB),which shows linear scalability and high throughput.The results demonstrate that UTC-UMM can unify heterogeneous traffic data while supporting real-time analytics.The discussion highlights its potential to improve data reuse,portability,and scalability in urban congestion studies.Future research will explore integration with association rulemining and advanced knowledge representation to capture richer spatiotemporal traffic patterns.

文摘With the continuous progress of automatic driving technology,automatic driving technology standards are gradually affecting the determination of criminal responsibility for traffic accidents in China.At present,the characteristics and tendency of China's automatic driving technology standards present the situation of high policy relevance coexisting with low normative binding,professionalism coexist with barriers,forefront coexist with ambiguity.Therefore,challenges are presented both theoretically and practically on the determination of criminal responsibility based on automatic driving technology standard..In this regard,the misunderstanding should be clarified in theory:The legal order under the automatic driving technology standard has constitutionality and systematic,and there is a balance between the frontier of automatic driving technology development and the lagging of criminal law.The automatic driving technology risk level system should be built to clarify the boundary of the effectiveness of criminal law norms,seeking fora breakthrough in the application of the establishment of a comprehensive judgment system of the risks and accidents and the system of evidence to prove the system,which clarifies the determination of criminal responsibility under the automatic driving technology standard.This essay hopes to pursue breakthroughs in the application-to establish a comprehensive judgment system of risks and accidents as well as an evidence proof system,so as to clarify the determination of criminal responsibility under automatic driving technology standards.
文摘This paper investigates the traffic offloading optimization challenge in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks(SAGIN)through a novel Recursive Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization(RMAPPO)algorithm.The exponential growth of mobile devices and data traffic has substantially increased network congestion,particularly in urban areas and regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure.Our approach jointly optimizes unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)trajectories and satellite-assisted offloading strategies to simultaneously maximize data throughput,minimize energy consumption,and maintain equitable resource distribution.The proposed RMAPPO framework incorporates recurrent neural networks(RNNs)to model temporal dependencies in UAV mobility patterns and utilizes a decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning architecture to reduce communication overhead while improving system robustness.The proposed RMAPPO algorithm was evaluated through simulation experiments,with the results indicating that it significantly enhances the cumulative traffic offloading rate of nodes and reduces the energy consumption of UAVs.

文摘With the increasing emphasis on personal information protection,encryption through security protocols has emerged as a critical requirement in data transmission and reception processes.Nevertheless,IoT ecosystems comprise heterogeneous networks where outdated systems coexist with the latest devices,spanning a range of devices from non-encrypted ones to fully encrypted ones.Given the limited visibility into payloads in this context,this study investigates AI-based attack detection methods that leverage encrypted traffic metadata,eliminating the need for decryption and minimizing system performance degradation—especially in light of these heterogeneous devices.Using the UNSW-NB15 and CICIoT-2023 dataset,encrypted and unencrypted traffic were categorized according to security protocol,and AI-based intrusion detection experiments were conducted for each traffic type based on metadata.To mitigate the problem of class imbalance,eight different data sampling techniques were applied.The effectiveness of these sampling techniques was then comparatively analyzed using two ensemble models and three Deep Learning(DL)models from various perspectives.The experimental results confirmed that metadata-based attack detection is feasible using only encrypted traffic.In the UNSW-NB15 dataset,the f1-score of encrypted traffic was approximately 0.98,which is 4.3%higher than that of unencrypted traffic(approximately 0.94).In addition,analysis of the encrypted traffic in the CICIoT-2023 dataset using the same method showed a significantly lower f1-score of roughly 0.43,indicating that the quality of the dataset and the preprocessing approach have a substantial impact on detection performance.Furthermore,when data sampling techniques were applied to encrypted traffic,the recall in the UNSWNB15(Encrypted)dataset improved by up to 23.0%,and in the CICIoT-2023(Encrypted)dataset by 20.26%,showing a similar level of improvement.Notably,in CICIoT-2023,f1-score and Receiver Operation Characteristic-Area Under the Curve(ROC-AUC)increased by 59.0%and 55.94%,respectively.These results suggest that data sampling can have a positive effect even in encrypted environments.However,the extent of the improvement may vary depending on data quality,model architecture,and sampling strategy.

文摘Semantic segmentation for mixed scenes of aerial remote sensing and road traffic is one of the key technologies for visual perception of flying cars.The State-of-the-Art(SOTA)semantic segmentation methods have made remarkable achievements in both fine-grained segmentation and real-time performance.However,when faced with the huge differences in scale and semantic categories brought about by the mixed scenes of aerial remote sensing and road traffic,they still face great challenges and there is little related research.Addressing the above issue,this paper proposes a semantic segmentation model specifically for mixed datasets of aerial remote sensing and road traffic scenes.First,a novel decoding-recoding multi-scale feature iterative refinement structure is proposed,which utilizes the re-integration and continuous enhancement of multi-scale information to effectively deal with the huge scale differences between cross-domain scenes,while using a fully convolutional structure to ensure the lightweight and real-time requirements.Second,a welldesigned cross-window attention mechanism combined with a global information integration decoding block forms an enhanced global context perception,which can effectively capture the long-range dependencies and multi-scale global context information of different scenes,thereby achieving fine-grained semantic segmentation.The proposed method is tested on a large-scale mixed dataset of aerial remote sensing and road traffic scenes.The results confirm that it can effectively deal with the problem of large-scale differences in cross-domain scenes.Its segmentation accuracy surpasses that of the SOTA methods,which meets the real-time requirements.

文摘Traffic flow prediction constitutes a fundamental component of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS),playing a pivotal role in mitigating congestion,enhancing route optimization,and improving the utilization efficiency of roadway infrastructure.However,existingmethods struggle in complex traffic scenarios due to static spatio-temporal embedding,restricted multi-scale temporal modeling,and weak representation of local spatial interactions.This study proposes Bi-STAT+,an enhanced bidirectional spatio-temporal attention framework to address existing limitations through three principal contributions:(1)an adaptive spatio-temporal embedding module that dynamically adjusts embeddings to capture complex traffic variations;(2)frequency-domain analysis in the temporal dimension for simultaneous high-frequency details and low-frequency trend extraction;and(3)an agent attention mechanism in the spatial dimension that enhances local feature extraction through dynamic weight allocation.Extensive experiments were performed on four distinct datasets,including two publicly benchmark datasets(PEMS04 and PEMS08)and two private datasets collected from Baotou and Chengdu,China.The results demonstrate that Bi-STAT+consistently outperforms existing methods in terms of MAE,RMSE,and MAPE,while maintaining strong robustness against missing data and noise.Furthermore,the results highlight that prediction accuracy improves significantly with higher sampling rates,providing crucial insights for optimizing real-world deployment scenarios.
文摘With the proliferation of Internet of Things(IoT)devices,securing these interconnected systems against cyberattacks has become a critical challenge.Traditional security paradigms often fail to cope with the scale and diversity of IoT network traffic.This paper presents a comparative benchmark of classic machine learning(ML)and state-of-the-art deep learning(DL)algorithms for IoT intrusion detection.Our methodology employs a twophased approach:a preliminary pilot study using a custom-generated dataset to establish baselines,followed by a comprehensive evaluation on the large-scale CICIoTDataset2023.We benchmarked algorithms including Random Forest,XGBoost,CNN,and StackedLSTM.The results indicate that while top-performingmodels frombothcategories achieve over 99%classification accuracy,this metric masks a crucial performance trade-off.We demonstrate that treebased ML ensembles exhibit superior precision(91%)in identifying benign traffic,making them effective at reducing false positives.Conversely,DL models demonstrate superior recall(96%),making them better suited for minimizing the interruption of legitimate traffic.We conclude that the selection of an optimal model is not merely a matter of maximizing accuracy but is a strategic choice dependent on the specific security priority either minimizing false alarms or ensuring service availability.Thiswork provides a practical framework for deploying context-aware security solutions in diverse IoT environments.

文摘Traffic sign detection is an important part of autonomous driving,and its recognition accuracy and speed are directly related to road traffic safety.Although convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have made certain breakthroughs in this field,in the face of complex scenes,such as image blur and target occlusion,the traffic sign detection continues to exhibit limited accuracy,accompanied by false positives and missed detections.To address the above problems,a traffic sign detection algorithm,You Only Look Once-based Skip Dynamic Way(YOLO-SDW)based on You Only Look Once version 8 small(YOLOv8s),is proposed.Firstly,a Skip Connection Reconstruction(SCR)module is introduced to efficiently integrate fine-grained feature information and enhance the detection accuracy of the algorithm in complex scenes.Secondly,a C2f module based on Dynamic Snake Convolution(C2f-DySnake)is proposed to dynamically adjust the receptive field information,improve the algorithm’s feature extraction ability for blurred or occluded targets,and reduce the occurrence of false detections and missed detections.Finally,the Wise Powerful IoU v2(WPIoUv2)loss function is proposed to further improve the detection accuracy of the algorithm.Experimental results show that the average precision mAP@0.5 of YOLO-SDW on the TT100K dataset is 89.2%,and mAP@0.5:0.95 is 68.5%,which is 4%and 3.3%higher than the YOLOv8s baseline,respectively.YOLO-SDW ensures real-time performance while having higher accuracy.

文摘Reliable detection of traffic signs and lights(TSLs)at long range and under varying illumination is essen-tial for improving the perception and safety of autonomous driving systems(ADS).Traditional object detection models often exhibit significant performance degradation in real-world environments characterized by high dynamic range and complex lighting conditions.To overcome these limitations,this research presents FED-YOLOv10s,an improved and lightweight object detection framework based on You Only look Once v10(YOLOv10).The proposed model integrates a C2f-Faster block derived from FasterNet to reduce parameters and floating-point operations,an Efficient Multiscale Attention(EMA)mechanism to improve TSL-invariant feature extraction,and a deformable Convolution Networks v4(DCNv4)module to enhance multiscale spatial adaptability.Experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed architecture achieves an optimal balance between computational efficiency and detection accuracy,attaining an F1-score of 91.8%,and mAP@0.5 of 95.1%,while reducing parameters to 8.13 million.Comparative analyses across multiple traffic sign detection benchmarks demonstrate that FED-YOLOv10s outperforms state-of-the-art models in precision,recall,and mAP.These results highlight FED-YOLOv10s as a robust,efficient,and deployable solution for intelligent traffic perception in ADS.

文摘Lizards usually exhibit frequent turnovers and a much greater diversity of sex determination mechanisms compared to birds and mammals,with the conserved ZW sex chromosomes of anguimorph lizards originating over 115 million years ago a seeming exception.We previously discovered in an anguimorph lizard Varanus acanthurus(Vac)whose entire chrW,but not chrZ is homologous to part of the chr2 by cytogenetic mapping,suggesting its complex history of sex chromosome evolution yet to be elucidated.To address this,we assemble a chromosome-level genome,and provide evidence that the Vac sex chromosome pair has undergone at least two times of recombination loss,producing a pattern of evolutionary strata like that of birds and mammals.Comparison to other lizard genomes date the stepwise propagation of specific retrotransposon subfamilies enriched near the duplicated gene pairs on the chrW and chr2 to the varanid ancestor.These retrotransposons probably have mediated the recruitment and amplification of autosomal genes on the chrW,including members of a large vomeronasal chemosensory receptor gene family V2R.Our results suggest that the W or Y chromosome as a refugium of repetitive elements,may recurrently recruit short-lived functional genes responsible for sexual dimorphisms during its long-term course of degeneration.
文摘Transit managers can use Intelligent Transportation System technologies to access large amounts of data to monitor network status.However,the presentation of the data lacks structural information.Existing single-network description technologies are ineffective in representing the temporal and spatial characteristics simultaneously.Therefore,there is a need for complementary methods to address these deficiencies.To address these limitations,this paper proposes an approach that combines Network Snapshots and Temporal Paths for the scheduled system.A dual information network is constructed to assess the degree of operational deviation considering the planning tasks.To validate the effectiveness,discussions are conducted through a modified cosine similarity calculation on theoretical analysis,delay level description,and the ability to identify abnormal dates.Compared to some state-of-the-art methods,the proposed method achieves an average Spearman delay correlation of 0.847 and a relative distance of 3.477.Furthermore,case analyses are invested in regions of China's Mainland,Europe,and the United States,investigating both the overall and sub-regional network fluctuations.To represent the impact of network fluctuations in sub-regions,a response loss value was developed.The times that are prone to fluctuations are also discussed through the classification of time series data.The research can offer a novel approach to system monitoring,providing a research direction that utilizes individual data combined to represent macroscopic states.Our code will be released at https://github.com/daozhong/STPN.git.
