the control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. for this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on armax structure from a real traffic dataset and design a model predictive control (mpc) system. based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the mpc predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...

Botnets are large networks of bots (compromised machines) that are under the control of a small number of bot masters. They pose a significant threat to Internet's communications and applications. A botnet relies on command and control (C2) communications channels traffic between its members for its attack execution. C2 traffic occurs prior to any attack; hence, the detection of botnet's C2 tra...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

Botnets are a major security threat to today’s Internet. Therefore, the detection of botnets has become a central task for network administrators. In this paper, we study the detection of botnets by monitoring and analyzing the Command and Control (C2) channels communication traffic. We note that this detection approach is effective as it detects a botnet before it engages in any harmful activi...

A road traffic participant is a person who directly participates in traffic, such as vehicle drivers, passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists, however, accidents cause numerous property loss
