Advances in autonomous vehicular technology facilitate the development of intelligent traffic regulation systems. Such a system aims to configure and regulate vehicular mobility patterns to enhance in-road transportation safety and efficiency. To effectively function, the autonomous system must enable high-rate communications and rapid dissemination of vehicle-to-vehicle messaging flows. Instead of...
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network technology facilitates real time information dissemination by enabling efficient inter-vehicle communications for the wide broadcasting of public safety and other message flows. A key challenge in VANET broadcasting is to develop a networking mechanism to coordinate data transmissions among moving vehicles. We propose a Directional Vehicular Backbone Network (DVBN) protocol...
In this paper, we use advanced multi-agent technologies to establish a smart power grid to solve the power distribution restoration problems. Specifically, we modeled switches in the power distribution systems as intelligent agents who can communicate and coordinate together to find a global optimal solution to the power distribution service restoration problems. We modeled the society of intelligent...
Establishing a smart power grid utilizing advanced agent information technology has raised much attention recently. In this paper we propose a method that is based on coordination and negotiation among a set of distributed local power committees who could together reach a consensus of “global” optimal power restoration solution in cope with local power failures after a fault is detected in a power...
ZigBee is a standard protocol suite for low rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs) and has been widely utilized in various fields. Since both ZigBee and WLAN (802.11 b/g) operate in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed industrial scientific medical (ISM) frequency band, mutual interference is likely to exist and cause signal degradation. In this paper, an interference analysis model is suggested to obtain...
