In order to allow this system to integrate seamlessly with other transport modes, but also to encourage users to use carpooling, a clearing service has been implemented to solve the inherent compensation issues. Both the carpooling system and the underlying utility services have been prototyped, using the Netlogo simulator, to prove not only the efficiency of WiSafeCar at reducing the congestion in cities; but also to validate the business models to be implemented and more precisely the clearing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130354173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of this, it is reasonable to expect that VANETs will finally hit the market in the near future. In order to reach commercial success, VANETs must effectively operate also during the first years of deployment, when the market penetration rate will be unavoidably low and, consequently, only a small number of suitably equipped vehicles (VANET-enabled) will be present in the roads. Among the possible strategies to face the initial sparse VANET scenarios, the deployment of an auxiliary network constituted by fixed Road Side Units (RSUs), either Dissemination Points (DPs) or relays, is certainly a promising one. In order to maximize the benefits offered by this support infrastructure, the placement of RSUs needs to be carefully studied. In this work, we analyze, by means of numerical simulations, the performance of an application that leverages on a finite number of DPs for disseminating information to the transiting vehicles. The positions of the DPs are determined through a recently proposed family of optimal placement algorithms, on the basis of properly generated (through simulations) vehicular mobility traces. The analysis is carried out considering two realistic urban scenarios. In both cases, the performance improvement brought by the use of multi-hop broadcast protocols, with respect to classical single-hop communications with DPs, is investigated.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122079973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective function of weighted least-squares estimation is adopted, which shows good convexity and has immunity to shadowing effect. We also approximate the subgradient of the objective function by a recursive form so that it can be implemented in a decentralized manner within each sensing node. A variable step size is proposed to take into consideration both the subgradient and minimum adjustment to accelerate convergence. Furthermore, the convergence analysis is also given to show the feasibility of our design for the step size. From simulation results, we can see the proposed algorithm has better accuracy and convergence rate than the conventional decentralized algorithms to localize a stationary or moving target in wireless network.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122158581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stereo vision finds many applications in automated systems such robotics, tracking object in 3D space and constructing a 3D spatial model of a scene. There are many human-machine control applications, such vision based remote control system which exploits stereo vision to control the machine in a touch-free environment. In this paper, we present a new stereo vision matching algorithm using an adaptive support window. In many area based algorithms, the selection and computation of the size and shape of the window is the most crucial factor for obtaining high quality disparity map. We developed an adaptive support window based stereo matching using similar color regions selected by the seed growing algorithm. The proposed approach is tested on Middlebury stereo images and results were promising.","PeriodicalId":220290,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122903513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proposals are made to allow the relocation also for active mode devices (user activity detection), to detect the occurrence of a non optimal routing situation and to detect situations where a relocation should be suppressed to avoid particularly poor user experience.
