Recently appeared necessity of enterprises, homes and other objects energy consumption information automatic collection. For this purposes various metering devices by different vendors have been created. While using different metering devices, problem of central information collecting appears. This paper raises the problem of creating a web-interface for metering devices remote monitoring syste...

The trend of increasing traffic demand is causing congestion on existing urban roads, including motorways, resulting in a decrease Level Service (LoS) and safety, an increase fuel consumption. Lack space non-compliance with cities’ sustainable plans prevent the expansion new transport infrastructure some areas. To alleviate aforementioned problems, appropriate solutions come from domain Intelli...

This paper proposes a Logic-Based Traffic Flow Control algorithm (LB-TFC) for integrated control of Ramp Metering (RM) installations and Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) in order to reduce traffic jams created at bottlenecks. LB-TFC estimates, each time step, the number vehicles that should be held back or released by measures (i.e. VSLs RM rates) avoid capacity drop (maximizing outflow bottleneck)...

This paper proposes a cryptographic mechanism for metering the duration and/or the number of instances of running a data process. This mechanism has the following property: knowing a secret, one can validate a piece of metering evidence in constant units of time while without the secret the job of generating a valid piece of evidence requires time indicated by a value in the evidence. Because t...

Implementing smart metering is an important field for energy policy to successfully meet energy efficiency targets. From an integrated social acceptance and customer perceved vaue theory perspective we model the importance of customer value of smart metering in this regard. ...

Prepayment or pay as you go system is receiving more and more attention worldwide as utilities are looking at ways to improve customer service, improve their cash flow and minimize their risks. The concept of prepaid remains the same but there is going to be a paradigm shift in the application. It's altogether a new arena in Metering India which is likely to be important to revenue and energy m...

A metering scheme allows a correct counting on the number of hits that a Web site received during a certain period. In this paper, we first derive tight lower bounds on the communication complexity |Vi| (i = 1, . . . , n) and the size of server’s secrets |Es| for robust and perfect (k, n)-metering schemes. We next show an almost equivalence between (k, n)-metering schemes and k-multiple-use A-c...

As the effects of climate change increasingly become a reality, policymakers have recognized the need for more renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and the benefits of distributed generation. One important way that both renewable energy and distributed generation are being addressed is through the use of electrical net metering policies. Net metering allows property owners to generat...

Given the current connected vehicles program in the United States, as well as other similar initiatives in vehicular networking, it is highly likely that vehicles will soon wirelessly transmit status data, such as speed and position, to nearby vehicles and infrastructure. This will drastically impact the way traffic is managed, allowing for more responsive traffic signals, better traffic inform...

A number of air traffic management decision support tools (DST) are being developed to help air traffic managers and controllers improve capacity, efficiency, and safety in the National Airspace System. Although DST functionality may vary widely, trajectory prediction algorithms can be found at the core of most DST. A methodology is presented for the automated statistical analysis of trajectory...
