A promising way to use limited 3G mobile resources efficiently is 3G mobile traffic offloading through WiFi by the user side. However, we currently do not know enough about how effective the mobile traffic offloading is in the wild. In this paper, we report the results of a two-day-long user-based measurement of mobile traffic offloading by over 400 android smartphone users in Japan. We first e...

It is important to know the road traffic density real time especially in mega cities for signal control and effective traffic management. In recent years, video monitoring and surveillance systems have been widely used in traffic management. Hence, traffic density estimation and vehicle classification can be achieved using video monitoring systems. In most vehicle detection methods in the liter...

Traffic-related air pollution is recognized as an important contributor to health problems. Epidemiologic analyses suggest that prenatal exposure to traffic-related air pollutants may be associated with adverse birth outcomes; however, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the relation is causal. The Study of Air Pollution, Genetics and Early Life Events comprises all births to women ...

The need for traffic noise prediction models that take traffic dynamics into account has been recently shown for urban areas. Such models couple a dynamic representation of traffic with noise emission laws. The contribution of the paper is to test different traffic and noise source representations for LAeq and statistical levels estimation. Tests on four scenarios that reflect urban traffic con...

Recently, content delivery services have grown rapidly over the Internet. For ASPs (Application Service Provider) providing content delivery services, P2P architecture is beneficial to reduce outgoing traffic from content servers. On the other hand, ISPs are suffering from the increase in P2P traffic. The P2P traffic is unnecessarily redundant because the same content or the same fractions of c...

We address the problem of estimating the real-time traffic flows in data center networks (DCNs), using the light-weight SNMP data. Unlike the problem of estimating the traffic matrix (TM) across origin-destination (OD) pairs in ISP networks, the traffic flows across servers or Top of Rack (ToR) switch pairs in DCNs are notoriously more irregular and volatile. Although numerous methods have been...
