An Approach using Local Information to Build QoS Routing Algorithminventionjournals
The requirement for quality of service (QoS) is more and more sophisticated, such as the required bandwidth, the value of delay time or packet loss. To assure the network performance, localized QoS routing algorithms have recently been proposed as a promising alternative to the currently deployed global QoS routing schemes. Different from the traditional QoS routing algorithms which use global state information, the localized routing algorithms use local information collected from source node to make routing decisions. These localized routing algorithms can be solutions to users’ demand in the near future. In this paper, we propose a new localized QoS routing algorithm which can help to assure quality of service, and show our simulations which are better in results against other routing algorithms.
A survey on mac strategies for cognitive radio networksAbir Hossain
The document presents CoRe-MAC, a MAC protocol for cooperative relaying in wireless networks that extends CSMA/CA. It uses reactive relay selection, where a relay is selected only if direct transmission between the source and destination fails. This avoids overhead when cooperation is not needed. Potential relays listen to direct transmissions and can act as relays if needed. Relay selection involves relays applying to relay and the destination selecting the best relay. Simulation results show CoRe-MAC performs similar to CSMA/CA for good SNR but improves throughput and reliability over larger distances by enabling cooperation when needed.

Routing protocol and congestion control in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) have important roles in wireless mobile network performance. In wireless communication, the stability of the path and successful data transmission will be influenced by the channel condition. This channel condition constraints come from path loss and the multipath channel fading. With these constraints, the algorithm in the routing protocol and congestion control is confronted with the uncertainty of connection quality and probability of successful packet transmission, respectively. It is important to investigate the reliability and robustness of routing protocol and congestion control algorithms in dealing with such situation. In this paper, we develop a detailed approach and analytical throughput performance with a cross layer scheme (CLS) between routing and congestion control mechanism based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) in Rician and Rayleigh as multipath fading channel. We proposed joint routing and congestion control TCP with a cross layer scheme model based on SNR (RTCP-SNR). We compare the performance of RTCP-SNR with conventional routing-TCP and routing-TCP that used CLS with routing aware (RTCP-RA) model. The analyses and the simulation results showed that RTCP-SNR in a multipath channel outperforms conventional routing-TCP and RTCP-RA.

Robust Resource Allocation in Relay Node Networks for Optimization ProcessIJCERT
Overlay steering has risen as a promising way to deal with enhances unwavering quality and effectiveness of the Internet. For one-jump overlay source steering, when a given essential way experiences the connection disappointment or execution debasement, the source can reroute the movement to the destination by means of a deliberately set transfer hub. Be that as it may, the over-substantial activity going through the same transfer hub may bring about incessant bundle misfortune and postponement jitter, which can corrupt the throughput and usage of the system. To defeat this issue, we propose a Load-Balanced One-jump Overlay Multipath Routing calculation (LB-OOMR), in which the activity is first part at the source edge hubs and afterward transmitted along numerous one-bounce overlay ways. So as to decide an ideal split proportion for the activity, we plan the issue as a direct programming (LP) definition, whose objective is to minimize the more regrettable case system blockage proportion. Since it is hard to take care of this LP issue in commonsense time, a heuristic calculation is acquainted with select the transfer hubs for building the disjoint one-jump overlay ways, which enormously lessens the computational multifaceted nature of the LP calculation. Reproductions in light of a genuine ISP system and an engineered Internet topology demonstrate that our proposed calculation can diminish the system clog proportion significantly, and accomplish top notch overlay directing administration.

A New Bi-level Program Based on Unblocked Reliability for a Continuous Road N...IJMER
With increasing demands for better and more reliable service, developing a method for designing a highly-reliability road network has become a critical issue. A Network Design Problem is used to determine a set of design parameters leading to the creation of an optimal road network. Moreover, the performance of an Origin-Destination pair with high traffic demands is a top priority in the optimizing process. A bi-level programming technique, that is upper-level and lower-level programs, can be used to formulate the Continuous Network Design Problem. This study establishes a new type of bi-level program based on unblocked reliability. The proposed bi-level program is applied to analyze a real local road network that has 22 nodes and 62 links. A set of link capacity expansions is determined by solving the proposed bi-level program using the Hooke-Jeeves algorithm. This kind of capacity expansion results in optimization by maximizing the balance between the unblocked reliability of the entire road network and the road network expansion ratio. The new, proposed bi-level program can comply with the various limits on environment and financial resources.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new position-based routing protocol called PBLA (Position-Based routing protocol using Learning Automata) for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in urban scenarios. PBLA uses learning automata and traffic information to initially find the best and shortest path to a mobile destination. It has two phases: a learning phase where vehicles learn traffic patterns on streets to assign costs; and a routing phase where the shortest path is found using Dijkstra's algorithm and packets are forwarded between intersections greedily. The performance of PBLA is evaluated against GPSR and GPCR protocols in a simulated urban road network, showing it can efficiently route packets in high mobility V
This document proposes a new framework called the Live Traffic Index (LTI) to enable efficient online shortest path computation using energy-based clustering and aggregation. LTI improves upon existing hierarchical index techniques by introducing a novel index structure and using dynamic shortest path trees to efficiently maintain the index under live traffic updates. Test results show LTI reduces lookup time significantly compared to state-of-the-art methods while still providing competitive query response times, broadcast sizes and update costs for online shortest path computation.
The Linear Road paper proposes a benchmark for stream data management systems that addresses challenges from continuous and unbounded streaming data. It defines four types of input tuples representing vehicle position and query data. Queries include continuous queries that compute trip times and historical queries that analyze past expenditure and travel times. The benchmark implementation uses a traffic simulator to generate streaming input data and measures systems' ability to answer queries within a given response time and load. Experimental results showed stream data management systems outperforming relational databases by at least a factor of five for processing streaming data.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes CafRep, an adaptive congestion control protocol for delay-tolerant networks (DTNs). CafRep uses implicit heuristics based on contact and resource congestion to offload traffic from congested parts of the network to less congested areas. It also adaptively replicates messages at lower rates in different parts of the network with non-uniform congestion levels. The paper evaluates CafRep across three real mobility traces and shows it outperforms state-of-the-art DTN forwarding algorithms in maintaining high delivery rates while keeping low delays and packet loss, especially in congested networks.
An Improved Greedy Parameter Stateless Routing in Vehicular Ad Hoc NetworkIJAAS Team
Congestion problem and packet delivery related issues in the vehicular ad hoc network environment is a widely researched problem in recent years. Many network designers utilize various algorithms for the design of ad hoc networks and compare their results with the existing approaches. The design of efficient network protocol is a major challenge in vehicular ad hoc network which utilizes the value of GPS and other parameters associated with the vehicles. In this paper GPSR protocol is improved and compared with the existing GPSR protocol and AODV protocol on the basis of various performance parameters like throughput of the network, delay and packet delivery ratio. The results also validate the performance of the proposed approach.
Solving bandwidth guaranteed routing problem using routing dataIJCNCJournal

as possible on the condition that a certain amount of bandwidth resource is reserved for each accepted

Optimizing Data Plane Resources for Multipath FlowsIRJET Journal
This document discusses optimizing data plane resources for multipath flows. It introduces the concepts of routing with minimum overhead (RMO) and decomposition with minimum overhead (DMO) to minimize forwarding costs when splitting traffic flows across multiple paths.
The key ideas are:
1) Dividing a traffic flow across multiple paths improves bandwidth utilization but incurs higher forwarding costs due to additional network resources used.
2) RMO and DMO problems are defined to minimize these forwarding costs by reducing the number of paths or nodes used. Efficient algorithms are presented to solve the problems.
3) Simulation results show that algorithms which prefer smaller paths generally perform better at reducing the number of nodes traveled, though they may increase
Effective Router Assisted Congestion Control for SDN IJECEIAES
This document proposes a new congestion control method called PACEC (Path Associativity Centralized Congestion Control) that works within the Software Defined Networking (SDN) framework. PACEC aims to overcome weaknesses of traditional Router Assisted Congestion Control (RACC) methods by utilizing global network information available in SDN. It calculates an aggregate rate for the entire data path rather than individual links. The controller collects switch utilization data and uses it to determine the path rate (Rp), updating it each control period. Simulation results show PACEC achieves better efficiency and fairness than TCP and RCP.
In the growing trend of technology, it is important to keep up with user expectation and his level of satisfaction. Thus, there is high demand for Quality of Experience (QoE) in the research domain. The Quality of Experience is defined as the degree of delight or annoyance of the user of an application or service. It results from the fulfillment of his or her expectations with respect to the utility and/or enjoyment of the application or service in the light of the user’s personality and current state. In the context of communication services, it is influenced by content, network, device, application, user expectations and context of use.QoE is a subjective measure whereas QoS is objective. Thus, it is interesting to analyze the behavior of QoE rather than QoS.

This document summarizes a load aware proposal for maximum available bandwidth routing in wireless mesh networks. It first introduces wireless mesh networks and discusses that seeking maximum available bandwidth paths is a fundamental routing issue. It then analyzes several existing routing techniques that provide bandwidth guarantees, including ETX, AVAIL, EED, and CAB. ETX considers packet loss ratios, AVAIL models 802.11 MAC behavior to predict throughput and delay, EED accounts for queuing delay, and CAB satisfies consistency requirements through hop-by-hop routing. The document identifies problems with these existing methods and proposes a load aware routing protocol to route through maximum available bandwidth paths while satisfying optimality and consistency requirements. It will plot throughput and delay graphs
PALBMRP: Power Aware Load Balancing Multipath Routing Protocol for MANETEswar Publications
A set of mobile hosts or nodes that form a dynamic topology which is ad hoc in nature is called MANET. There are several challenges while designing a routing protocol for MANET due to the limited energy, less processing capability, fewer resources and dynamic environmental changes. Most of the existing energy efficient protocols focuses on choosing a route or path through the nodes with maximum residual energy and distribute a network traffic blindly among generated paths. Network congestion caused due to traffic and node packet carrying capability based on its remaining energy are not considered which leads to increasing number of dead nodes and result in more energy depletion. Hence we have proposed a Power Aware Load Balancing Multipath Routing Protocol (PALBMRP) which selects an optimal energy efficient route based on multiple parameters i.e. residual energy, delay, congestion and hop count and perform load balancing by considering nodes minimal residual energy to transmit packets according to its capacity. The simulation shows the proposed protocol reduced overall energy consumption up to 9%, increased packet delivery ratio up to 12%, and reduced end to end delay up to 3%, compared to AOMDV and LBMMRE-AOMDV [1].

INVESTIGATING MULTILAYER OMEGA-TYPE NETWORKS OPERATING WITH THE CUT-THROUGH T...IJCNCJournal
The continuous increase in the complexity of data networks has motivated the development of more effective Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) as important factors in providing higher data transfer rates in various switching divisions. In this paper, semi-layer omega-class networks operating with a cut-through forwarding technique are chosen as test-bed subjects for detailed evaluation, and this network architecture is modelled, inspected, and simulated. The results are examined for relevant singlelayer omega networks operating with cut-through or ‘store and forward’ forwarding techniques. Two series of experiments are carried out: one concerns the case of uniform traffic, while the other is related to hotspot traffic. The results quantify the way in which this network outperforms the corresponding singlelayer network architectures for the same network size and buffer size. Furthermore, the effects of the dimensions of the switch elements and their corresponding reliability on the overall interconnection system are investigated, and the complexity and the relevant cost are examined. The data yielded by this investigation can be valuable to MIN engineers and can allow them to achieve more productive networks with lower overall implementation costs.
This document discusses adaptive multistreaming over a network using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). It proposes adapting the number of streams based on estimates of available bandwidth and current congestion window size to improve performance under congestion. The performance of this adaptive streams mechanism is evaluated through computer simulation using the OMNeT++ network simulation tool and INET framework. Simulation results are compared between the proposed adaptive streams approach and normal SCTP streaming.
Load Balancing and Congestion Control in MANETijsrd.com
The document summarizes a proposed load balancing and congestion control algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The algorithm uses a coordinated multi-path routing approach where multiple paths between source and destination nodes are established. When congestion is detected at an intermediate node, a congestion notification message is sent to the source node. The source node then distributes data packets across the multiple paths randomly to balance load and avoid congested areas of the network. The algorithm aims to reduce end-to-end delay, packet loss, and imbalance in energy consumption among nodes through coordinated load balancing across multiple routes. Simulation results show the approach is effective at alleviating network congestion compared to single-path routing.

POSITION BASED ADAPTIVE ROUTING FOR VANETSIJCNCJournal
Routing plays a very significant role in multi hop data dissemination in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
(VANETs). Wehave proposed a Position based Adaptive Routing (PAR) protocol which is scalable for different
network densities in VANETs. This scheme uses Preferred Group Broadcasting (PGB) for route discovery.
In this mode, after broadcasting the request for route discovery the source node starts listening to
the channel. If the packet is not further rebroadcasted by any neighbor in a set timeout, then it repeats the
broadcast. This process is repeated until the request reaches the destination. The destination keeps on accumulating
route requests coming from different paths until predefined time. It then chooses the least cost
path as route reply. It uses the set of traversed anchors for sending the unicast route reply to the source
node. PAR uses Advance Greedy Forwarding (AGF) for data forwarding and greedily forwards the data
packet to the next anchor towards destination node. It switches to carry and forward mode once it finds
partitions in the network. The intermediate vehicle buffers the packet until next junction and switches back
to position based scheme and greedily forwards to next node in range which is closest to the destination. To
have an end to end connectedpath, it uses guards to guard anchors tied to different junction and geographical
locations in the network. The algorithm is scalable and exploits advantages of existing techniques
already developed for specific scenarios in VANET. Results show that the service ratio and packet
delay of PAR are higher than its counterparts.

INVESTIGATING MULTILAYER OMEGA-TYPE NETWORKS OPERATING WITH THE CUT-THROUGH T...IJCNCJournal
The continuous increase in the complexity of data networks has motivated the development of more effective Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) as important factors in providing higher data transfer rates in various switching divisions. In this paper, semi-layer omega-class networks operating with a cut-through forwarding technique are chosen as test-bed subjects for detailed evaluation, and this network architecture is modelled, inspected, and simulated. The results are examined for relevant singlelayer omega networks operating with cut-through or ‘store and forward’ forwarding techniques. Two series of experiments are carried out: one concerns the case of uniform traffic, while the other is related to hotspot traffic. The results quantify the way in which this network outperforms the corresponding singlelayer network architectures for the same network size and buffer size. Furthermore, the effects of the dimensions of the switch elements and their corresponding reliability on the overall interconnection system are investigated, and the complexity and the relevant cost are examined. The data yielded by this investigation can be valuable to MIN engineers and can allow them to achieve more productive networks with lower overall implementation costs.
This document discusses adaptive multistreaming over a network using the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). It proposes adapting the number of streams based on estimates of available bandwidth and current congestion window size to improve performance under congestion. The performance of this adaptive streams mechanism is evaluated through computer simulation using the OMNeT++ network simulation tool and INET framework. Simulation results are compared between the proposed adaptive streams approach and normal SCTP streaming.
Load Balancing and Congestion Control in MANETijsrd.com
The document summarizes a proposed load balancing and congestion control algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The algorithm uses a coordinated multi-path routing approach where multiple paths between source and destination nodes are established. When congestion is detected at an intermediate node, a congestion notification message is sent to the source node. The source node then distributes data packets across the multiple paths randomly to balance load and avoid congested areas of the network. The algorithm aims to reduce end-to-end delay, packet loss, and imbalance in energy consumption among nodes through coordinated load balancing across multiple routes. Simulation results show the approach is effective at alleviating network congestion compared to single-path routing.

POSITION BASED ADAPTIVE ROUTING FOR VANETSIJCNCJournal
Routing plays a very significant role in multi hop data dissemination in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
(VANETs). Wehave proposed a Position based Adaptive Routing (PAR) protocol which is scalable for different
network densities in VANETs. This scheme uses Preferred Group Broadcasting (PGB) for route discovery.
In this mode, after broadcasting the request for route discovery the source node starts listening to
the channel. If the packet is not further rebroadcasted by any neighbor in a set timeout, then it repeats the
broadcast. This process is repeated until the request reaches the destination. The destination keeps on accumulating
route requests coming from different paths until predefined time. It then chooses the least cost
path as route reply. It uses the set of traversed anchors for sending the unicast route reply to the source
node. PAR uses Advance Greedy Forwarding (AGF) for data forwarding and greedily forwards the data
packet to the next anchor towards destination node. It switches to carry and forward mode once it finds
partitions in the network. The intermediate vehicle buffers the packet until next junction and switches back
to position based scheme and greedily forwards to next node in range which is closest to the destination. To
have an end to end connectedpath, it uses guards to guard anchors tied to different junction and geographical
locations in the network. The algorithm is scalable and exploits advantages of existing techniques
already developed for specific scenarios in VANET. Results show that the service ratio and packet
delay of PAR are higher than its counterparts.

Link Prediction And Link Establishment Based On Network Nodes Life Time In Mo...inventionjournals
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new routing algorithm called the Link Prediction Routing Algorithm (LPRA) for mobile ad hoc networks. The LPRA aims to establish reliable links and perform persistent data forwarding based on predicting node and link lifetimes. It does so by selecting routes with the longest predicted lifetimes. The algorithm is evaluated through simulation and shown to improve performance metrics like throughput, delivery ratio, and delay compared to existing techniques. It aims to efficiently route data in unstable mobile ad hoc networks where topology frequently changes.
Traffic assignment models are used to estimate traffic flows on a transportation network based on origin-destination flows and the network's topology, link characteristics, and performance functions. Traffic is assigned to paths between origin-destination pairs based on travel time or impedance. Traffic assignment is a key part of travel demand forecasting and is used to predict future network flows and performance under different planning scenarios. Common traffic assignment methods include all-or-nothing assignment, user equilibrium assignment, and system optimum assignment.
A Gradient Projection Algorithm For Side-Constrained Traffic AssignmentLori Moore
This document presents a new solution procedure for the side-constrained traffic assignment problem (SCTAP) based on combining the inner penalty function method with a path-based gradient projection algorithm. The SCTAP incorporates explicit capacity constraints into the standard traffic assignment framework to model bottlenecks and queues. The new algorithm finds solutions at both the path and link level while ensuring all intermediate solutions satisfy the side constraints. The procedure only checks constraints on links belonging to the shortest path, making it efficient.
THE DEVELOPMENT AND STUDY OF THE METHODS AND ALGORITHMS FOR THE CLASSIFICATIO...IJCNCJournal
This document summarizes a study on developing methods and algorithms for classifying data flows of cloud applications in the network of a virtual data center. The researchers developed a hybrid approach using data mining and machine learning methods to classify traffic flows in real-time. They created an algorithm for classifying and adaptively routing cloud application traffic flows, which was implemented as a module in the software-defined network controller. This solution aims to improve the efficiency of handling user requests to cloud applications and reduce response times.
This document compares proactive and reactive routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks. It classifies routing protocols as either proactive, which maintain routes at all times, or reactive, which determine routes on demand. Proactive protocols have lower latency but higher overhead, while reactive protocols have higher latency but lower overhead. The document evaluates the performance of AODV, TORA, and DSDV protocols based on packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, and throughput under both CBR and TCP traffic patterns. Simulation results found reactive protocols had better packet delivery and delay, with performance varying based on node number and traffic type.
Transport Chicago- Creating a Transit Supply Index 2003Andrew Keller
- The presenter developed a Transit Supply Index (TSI) to measure and aggregate transit service levels for northeastern Illinois using publicly available data.
- The TSI methodology calculates frequency of transit service by buffering transit stops, dissolving buffers by route and frequency, and normalizing by population coverage. Challenges include accurately accounting for catchment areas and adjusting buffers based on street network patterns.
- Next steps include incorporating additional factors like capacity, accessibility, auto access to transit, and travel times between zones to measure accessibility to attractions. The TSI aims to provide a meaningful metric for both experts and non-experts to evaluate transit service levels.
This document proposes using drones to assist emergency vehicles by providing real-time traffic information. It discusses how current traffic sensing technologies have drawbacks and drones can help overcome these. It outlines a framework where drones would collect link-based data on traffic density, queues, and road geometry. This data would be used to calculate real-time link costs, and an algorithm would find the k-shortest reliable paths for emergency vehicles to take based on the changing link costs. The methodology, including data collection and modeling, is described. The approach aims to reduce emergency response times by dynamically routing vehicles based on real-time traffic conditions monitored by drones.

A PROACTIVE FLOW ADMISSION AND RE-ROUTING SCHEME FOR LOAD BALANCING AND MITIG...IJCNCJournal
The centralized architecture in software-defined network (SDN) provides a global view of the underlying network, paving the way for enormous research in the area of SDN traffic engineering (SDN TE). This research focuses on the load balancing aspects of SDN TE, given that the existing reactive methods for data-plane load balancing eventually result in packet loss and proactive schemes for data plane load
balancing do not address congestion propagation. In the proposed work, the SDN controller periodically monitors flow level statistics and utilization on each link in the network and over-utilized links that cause network congestion and packet loss are identified as bottleneck links. For load balancing the identified largest flow and further traffic through these bottleneck links are rerouted through the lightly-loaded alternate path. The proposed scheme models a Bayesian Network using the observed port utilization and residual bandwidth to decide whether the newly computed alternate path can handle the new flow load before flow admission which in turn reduces congestion propagation. The simulation results show that
when the network traffic increases the proposed method efficiently re-routes the flows and balance the network load which substantially improves the network efficiency and the quality of service (QoS) parameters.
21 9149 simulation analysis for consistent path identification edit septianIAESIJEECS
As the demand for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) applications grows, so does their use of many essential services where node consistent and stability of the communication paths are of great importance. In this scheme, we propose Simulation Analysis for Consistent Path Identification to Refine the Network Lifetime (CPIR). This technique offers more stable path and transmits the data through the consistent nodes. This article is focused on protecting the route from the inconsistent node in mobile communications to improve the network performance and reduce the energy consumption in the network. The simulation results demonstrate that CPIR provided reduce the energy utilization and improved both the longer lifetimes and increased number of packets delivered.
Hop Count Based Interest Selection and Content Forwarding Scheme for Vehicula...IJCNCJournal
Vehicular Named Data Networks (VNDN) face challenges in efficiently disseminating content due to high mobility and intermittent connectivity. To address these challenges, a Hop Count based Interest Selection and Content Forwarding (HISCF) scheme for VNDNs is proposed. The scheme focuses on mitigating interest flooding, reducing data packet duplication, and alleviating network congestion. HISCF consists of two components: interest selection and content forwarding. The selection process chooses a vehicle based on hop count and Interest Satisfaction Ratio (ISR) to forward the interest packet. Content forwarding is performed considering a hop count limit and pending interests, ensuring efficient content delivery. The HISCF scheme is evaluated using extensive simulations in ns-3 with ndnSIM. Performance metrics such as Data Packet Replication Count (DPRC), total number of interest packets forwarded, Interest Response Time (IRT) and routing overhead are analysed. Results show that HISCF outperforms naïve VNDN, reducing DPRC, minimizing interest packets forwarded, and decreasing average IRT. The findings demonstrate that HISCF effectively mitigates interest broadcast storms, reduces data packet duplication, and improves content delivery efficiency in VNDNs. This study contributes to VNDN research advancement and provides insights for designing effective content forwarding mechanisms in vehicular networks.

Investigating Time-of-Use as a Factor in Dynamic Wireless Charging Infrastruc...Joseph Chow
1) The document investigates modeling optimal locations for dynamic wireless charging infrastructure for electric buses by accounting for time-of-use factors like varying energy costs and vehicle speeds throughout the day.
2) Previous models for single and multi-route infrastructure planning are reviewed and a new time-of-use model is proposed to determine if the optimal solution changes with daily energy and traffic patterns.
3) The model is validated using real-world New York City bus network and energy cost data, finding the solutions are nearly identical with and without accounting for time-of-use, likely due to limitations in the model and data simplifications.
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have seen tremendous growth in the last decade, providing a vast
range of applications in both military and civilian activities. The temporary connectivity in the vehicles can also
increase the driver’s capability on the road. However, such applications require heavy data packets to be shared on
the same spectrum without the requirement of excessive radios. Thus, e-client approaches are required which can
provide improved data dissemination along with the better quality of services to allow heavy traffic to be easily
shared between the vehicles. In this paper, an e-client data dissemination approach is proposed which not only
improves the vehicle to vehicle connectivity but also improves the QoS between the source and the destination. The
proposed approach is analyzed and compared with the existing state-of-the-art approaches. The effectiveness of the
proposed approach is demonstrated in terms of the significant gains attained in the parameters namely, end to end
delay, packet delivery ratio, route acquisition time, throughput, and message dissemination rate in comparison with
the existing approaches.
Influence of Clustering on the Performance of MobileAd Hoc Networks (MANETs)Narendra Singh Yadav
Clustering is an important research area for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) as it increases the capacity of network, reduces the routing overhead and makes the network more scalable in the presence of both high mobility and a large number of mobile nodes. Routing protocols based on flat topology are not scalable because of their built-in characteristics. However, clustering cause overhead which consumes considerable bandwidth, drain mobile nodes energy quickly, likely cause congestion, collision and data delay in larger networks. This paper uses an implementation of the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), an flat architecture based and the Cluster Based Routing Protocol (CBRP), a cluster architecture based routing protocol to examine the influence of clustering on the performance of mobile ad hoc networks. This paper evaluates channel utilization and control overhead as a function of number of nodes per sq. km to show the effect of clustering. Simulation results show that in high mobility scenarios, CBRP outperforms DSR. CBRP scales well with increasing number of nodes.

Improving convergence of static assignment models with strict capacity constr...Luuk Brederode
Extended abstract presented in poster-form on 6th International Symposium on Dynamic Traffic Assignment (Sydney, 28-30 June, 2016).
Conclusions:
In this extended abstract methods in literature and logical extensions to those methods that could improve convergence of quasi dynamic assignment models where investigated. Two important mechanisms causing convergence issues where identified (existence of an ‘instable phase’ and spatial inseparability of route cost functions) using examples on theoretical networks and two enhancements to existing methods where proposed and successfully demonstrated.
Based on this research, novel methods that will be tested in the full study include SRA applied to ODpairs clustered by usage of bottlenecks, two hybrid forms of MSA and SRA, diagonalization and/or dampening of spillback effects, capping routecost for routes where the ratio between time in congestion and total travel time is too high and discarding diverging iterations instead of only lowering their step size (as SRA does).

Strategic transport models and smart urban mobilityLuuk Brederode
This document discusses strategic transport models and how to incorporate smart urban mobility concepts. It notes that transport models currently model people's travel choices and interactions, but do not fully account for emerging smart mobility options that depend on these choices. Incorporating smart mobility requires including new choice dependencies, additional data on these choices, and addressing uncertainty around new concepts' effects. A microsimulation approach that produces statistically-valid outcomes is needed, along with longitudinal data matching model variables to reduce uncertainties from new scenarios.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

20. Solution method: current practice: pros and cons
Requires a traditional capacity
restrained traffic assignment
model (quick!)
Allows for use of widely available
solution methods
Fast and easy fits (on
unconstrained demand level!)
Requires a traditional capacity
restrained traffic assignment
model (not suited for cong conditions)
Accuracy of the link demand
estimates cannot be assessed, since
it cannot be measured
A good fit on unconstrained demand
doesn’t imply a good fit on observed
flow
Tractability is low: errors in input and
calibration of parameters of
assignment model and solver cannot
be isolated pagina 21

28. Conclusions (only highlights)
• Active bottlenecks determine what quantity an observed link flow actually represents
• Current practice translates all quantities to ‘unconstrained demand’, causing
intractability to the matrix estimation process
• Links where (partial) demand is observed can be used for demand estimation. This
accounts for 91% of count locations in the congested Randstad area
• To use observed partial travel demand data, a capacity constrained assignment
model is required (otherwise only 21% of count locations is usable). No dynamic traffic
assignment model required.
• The capacity constrained assignment model also allows for
• Enforcing stability using link state constraints
• Calibration on observed travel times
• Usage of observed bottleneck locations from e.g. floating car data
pagina 29
29. Ongoing research and development
• Extension of the capacity constrained traffic assignment model with residual traffic
transfer, allowing for sequential calibration
• Relaxation of FIFO assumption within node model of capacity constrained model**,
allowing to model slip lanes without additional network coding
