Wireless Sensor Networks are proposed to improve vehicle safety to avoid collisions in congested junctions and to enhance the capability of warning systems in the event of an emergency. The critical challenge in sensor networks is the extended temporal operation of the individual sensor node using a typically limited battery power supply. The sensor node consumes power due to sensing, signal pr...

Infrared communication in the wavelength band 780950 nm is very suitable for short-range point-to-point communications. It is a good choice for vehicle-to-vehicle communication in several intelligent-transportation-system (ITS) applications such as cooperative driving, collision warning, and pileup-crash prevention. In this paper, with the aid of a physical model established in our previous wor...

Traffic congestion is one of the most serious problems that impact urban transportation efficiency, especially in big cities. Identifying traffic congestion locations and occurring patterns is a prerequisite for urban transportation managers in order to take proper countermeasures for mitigating traffic congestion. In this study, the historical GPS sensing data of about 12,000 taxi floating car...

Specification of PM2.5 spatial and temporal characteristics is important for understanding PM2.5 adverse effects and policymaking. We applied network analysis to studying the dataset MIX, which contains PM2.5 emissions recorded from 2168 monitoring stations in China in 2008 and 2010. The results showed that for PM2.5 emissions from industrial sector 8 clusters were found in 2008 but they merged...

Recently, surveillance on moving vehicles for traffic flow monitoring has emerging in rapid rate. A comprehensive traffic data, that is vehicle trajectory, is selected as reliable data for discovering the underlying pattern via trajectory mining. As the task of monitoring moving vehicles via vehicle trajectory dataset can be tedious, researchers are keen to provide solutions that reducing the t...
