Today, one of the most important environmental problems in urban areas is air pollution. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution represents a serious risk to human health in many cities of the world. Road traffic is one of the main source ...
In Switzerland, the calculation method of road traffic noise is specified in the Ordonnance sur la protection contre le bruit (OPB) (Noise Protection Ordonnance (NPO)). This method is mainly based on observations that were realized in the 80s, and that are ...
Caused by the rising interest in traffic surveillance for simulations and decision management many publications concentrate on automatic vehicle detection or tracking. Quantities and velocities of different car classes form the data basis for almost every ...
Modeling spatial and temporal noise variations at roundabouts is a tedious task. Indeed, noise levels are strongly influenced by the complex vehicle interactions taking place at the entries. An accurate modeling of the merging process and its impact on veh ...
We define and evaluate methods to perform robust network monitoring using trajectory sampling in the presence of report loss. The first challenge is to reconstruct an unambiguous set of packet trajectories from the reports on sampled packets received at a ...
This work is focused on the problem of the contamination of surface water and sediments by heavy metals, more particularly by cadmium and zinc, contained in runoff water and wastewater. To bring to light the urban cycle of cadmium and zinc, we have used th ...
Positioning, tracking and communication (PTC) systems are the basic components of cooperative systems, and it is their development in recent years that has in turn made possible the idea of cooperative systems. The ongoing developments of GNSS (Global Navi ...
In this paper, a formal engineering design synthesis methodology based on evolutionary computation is presented, with special emphasis on the design and optimization of distributed independent systems. A case study concerned with design of a sensory system ...
This paper aims to understand the dynamics of the Traffic Management Center operator workplace. Currently we can observe an expansion of tools, tasks and traffic volumes the operator has to handle. Using expert interviews and Mayring’s Qualitative Content ...
Realistic simulation is a necessary tool for the proper evaluation of newly developed protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). Several recent efforts focus on achieving this goal. Yet, to this date, none of the proposed solutions fulfill all the r ...
