In this study, we investigate the maximum possible profit for a commercial office building participating in New York’s Day-Ahead Demand Response (DADR) program. We formulate an optimal control problem, assuming perfect knowledge of future weather, occupanc ...
Crowdsensing applications are increasing at a tremendous rate. In crowdsensing, mobile sensors (humans, vehicle-mounted sensors, etc.) generate streams of information that is used for inferring high-level phenomena of interest (e.g, traffic jams, air pollu ...
Traffic dynamics have been the focal point of research aiming to provide a better understanding of traffic phenomena and to be integrated in traffic management for recurrent congestion. The aim of the study is to ameliorate complex highway and/or freeway n ...
This paper presents an attempt to create synthetic weather data for stochastic building simulation. The synthetic data are created entirely from the freely available Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) weather files using time series models and resampling. T ...
Research on congestion propagation in large urban networks has been based mainly on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behavior and the complexity of accurate physical modeling present challenges, ...
Abstract: Congestion at motorway junctions is a traffic phenomenon that degrades operation of infrastructure and can lead to breakdown of traffic flow and associated reduction in capacity. Advanced communication technologies open new possibilities to preve ...
GSN (Global Sensor Networks) is capable of managing configurable virtual sensors through a wide range of wrappers, and is able to manage one-shot and continuous queries, even in a distributed environment with several GSN instances. However, each GSN instan ...
This paper examines the effectiveness of variable speed limits (VSLs) on improving traffic flow efficiency and reducing vehicular emissions in a stylized setting of morning commute where a fixed number of individuals commute from home to work through the f ...
Nowadays, reassignments of hard shoulders into traffic lanes are spreading across Europe. This traffic management measure allows to respond to the growing saturation of high-capacity roads.In Switzerland, the first stretch to be equipped in such a way was ...
Research on congestion and propagation in large urban city networks has been mainly based on microsimulations of link-level traffic dynamics. However, both the unpredictability of travel behaviors and high complexity of accurate physical modeling remain ch ...
