We present a new approach to regulating traffic related pollution in urban environments by utilising hybrid vehicles. We give a number of different strategies and some variants of how to achieve this. The efficacy of our approach is exemplified both by the construction of a proof of concept vehicle and by extensive simulations.
This paper introduces and illustrates some novel\ud
stochastic policies that assign parking spaces to cars looking for\ud
an available parking space. We analyze in detail both the main\ud
features of a single park, i.e., how a car could conveniently decide\ud
whether to try its luck at that parking lot or try elsewhere,\ud
and the case when more parking lots are available, and how to\ud
choose the best one. We discuss the practical requirements of\ud
the proposed strategies in terms of infrastructure technology and\ud
vehicles’ equipment and the mathematical properties of the proposed\ud
algorithms in terms of robustness against delays, stability,\ud
and reliability. Preliminary results obtained from simulations are\ud
also provided to illustrate the feasibility and the potential of our\ud
stochastic assignment policies
Abstract-Delay-based TCP variants continue to attract a large amount of attention in the networking community. Potentially, they offer the possibility to efficiently use network resources while at the same time achieving low queueing delay and virtually zero packet loss. One major impediment to the deployment of delay-based TCP variants is their inability to coexist fairly with standard loss-based TCP. In this paper we propose a simple strategy to make the fair coexistence possible and to ensure that delay-based flows will revert back to the delay-based operation when loss-based flows are no longer present. Analytical and ns-2 simulation results are presented to validate the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
