Position weighted backpressure intersection control for urban networks

Investigating Backpressure based Rate Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

From a theoretical standpoint, backpressure-based techniques present elegant cross-layer rate control solutions that use only local queue information. It is only recently that attempts are being made to design real world wireless protocols using these techniques. To aid this effort, we undertake a comprehensive experimental evaluation of backpressure mechanisms for multihop wireless networks, i...

Intersection for Weighted Formalisms

The paradigm of parsing as intersection has been used throughout the literature to obtain elegant and general solutions to numerous problems involving grammars and automata. The paradigm has its origins in (Bar-Hillel et al., 1964), where a general construction was used to prove closure of context-free languages under intersection with regular languages. It was pointed out by (Lang, 1994) that ...

Sustainable Intersection Control Accommodating Urban Freight Mobility

15. Supplementary Notes Supported by a Grant From the U.S. Department of Transportation, University Transportation Centers Program 16. Abstract In this research, we studied green extension of a two-phased vehicle−actuated signal at an isolated intersection between two one-way streets. The green phase is extended by a preset time interval, referred to as critical gap, from the time of a vehicle...

Backpressure Policies for Wireless ad hoc Networks

Lightweight intersection-based traffic aware routing in Urban vehicular networks

One of the important characteristics of VANETs is the multi-hop communications, which provides Vehicleto-Vehicle(V2V) communication for many applications. In order to adapt to mobility in high speeds and limited-time communication links, traffic aware routing was proposed in many research works. As a type of position based routing protocols, traffic aware routing utilizes vehicles’ positions an...
