Among these events, urban flash floods are particularly deadly because of the short timescales on which they occur, and because of the high concentration of population in cities. Since most flash flood casualties are caused by a lack of information, it is critical to generate accurate and detailed warnings of flash floods. However, deploying an infrastructure that solely monitor flash floods makes little economic sense, since the average periodicity of catastrophic flash floods exceeds the lifetime of a typical sensor network. To address this issue, we propose a new sensing device that can simultaneously monitor urban flash floods and another phenomenon of interest (traffic congestion on the present case). This sensing device is based on the combination of an ultrasonic rangefinder with one or multiple remote temperature sensors. We show an implementation of this device, and illustrate its performance in both traffic flow and flash flood sensing. Field data shows that the sensor can detect vehicles with a 99% accuracy, in addition to estimating their speed and classifying them in function of their length. The same sensor can also monitor urban water levels with an accuracy of less than 2 cm. Two of the sensors have been deployed in a flood prone area, where they captured the only (minor) flash flood that occurred over the one-year test period, with no false detection, and an agreement in the estimated water level estimate (during the flash flood event) of about 2 cm.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132873735","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}

In the near future, this technology could enable devices containing LEDs-such as car lights, city lights, screens and home appliances-to form their own networks. VLC, however, is currently limited to point-to-point communication. To unleash VLC's full potential, we need to provide it with more sophisticated networking capabilities. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a novel platform aimed at distributed multi-hop visible light communication. Compared to the state-of-the-art, our platform provides similar data rates and coverage, but adds two unique characteristics: (i) 360° coverage, which is necessary to investigate an important property of LED communication: directionality, and (ii) a flexible design, which allows our platform to be connected to many experimental boards such as Arduino, Beagle bone, Raspberry Pi and sensor nodes. To quantify the communication capabilities of our board, we evaluate three key components: link quality, neighbor discovery and packet forwarding. Overall, we hope that our work will lower the entry barrier for members of the pervasive and networking communities to investigate and exploit future LED-based networks.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128833585","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}

Fortunately, the wide spread deployment of various network technologies and the increased adoption of multi-interface-enabled devices allow researchers to develop solutions for those challenges. Such solutions exploit available interfaces on these devices in both local and collaborative forms. These solutions, however, have faced a formidable deployment barrier. Therefore, in this paper, we present OSCAR, a multi-objective, incentive-based, collaborative, and deployable bandwidth aggregation system, designed to exploit multiple network interfaces on modern mobile devices. Oscar's architecture does not introduce any intermediate hardware nor require changes to current applications or legacy servers. This architecture estimates the interfaces characteristics and application requirements, schedules various connections and/or packets to different interfaces, and provides users with incentives for collaboration and bandwidth sharing. We formulate the OSCAR scheduler as a multi-objective scheduler that maximizes system throughput while achieving user-defined efficiency goals for both cost and energy consumption. We implement a small scale prototype of our OSCAR system, which we use to evaluate its performance. Our evaluation shows that we provide up to 150% enhancement in the throughput compared to current operating systems with only minor updates to the client devices.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114967559","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}

Towards that end, a variety of applications and driver advisory tools have been developed. To work efficiently, many require knowledge of not only street maps but also elements affecting traffic flow. The most obvious elements are traffic lights and stop signs, which we shall henceforth call traffic regulators. Unfortunately, information on traffic regulators is not widely available in public databases such as Open Street Map (OSM). Prior work described crowd-sourcing solutions to predict regulator type and locations. In this paper, we improve the prediction by offering a combination of map-based modeling and crowd-sensing solutions. The modeling component reverse engineers rules for placement of traffic regulators, allowing it to predict their locations and type based on map information. Where available, crowd-sourced vehicular GPS traces are incorporated into the prediction function to improve the results. The approach is evaluated across multiple cities and is shown to outperform both crowd-sourcing alone and map-based modeling alone. It achieves a prediction accuracy level above 97% in detecting the existence and determining the type of traffic regulators in the cities considered.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129726707","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 majority of the existing localization approaches have utilized signal-fingerprint as a metric for location determinations. However, one of the most challenging issues is the problem of uncertain fingerprints for building the fingerprint map, termed as the jigsaw puzzle problem. In this paper, for more accurate fingerprints of the mobile localization, we investigate the changes of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) from the connected cell-towers over time along the mobile users' trajectories, termed as RSSI Time Series (RTS). Thus, we propose an RTS Assisted Localization System (RALS), which is a GPS-less outdoor mobile localization system. For localization, an RTS map is built on the back-end server, which consists of RTS harvested from the mobile phones, by the way of crowd sensing. The jigsaw puzzle problem slows down the map construction solely by the regular unintentional users with short-distance trajectories, and affects its efficiency. To speed up the map construction, we propose employing a few advanced intentional users with additional long-distance trajectories, at a higher cost than the regular user, this is called extra mile. Our extensional experiments verify the effectiveness of our localization system.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128252997","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}

It has more benefits compared to the traditional sensing-based systems. To build a more practical and reliable system, a hybrid sensing-based and database-driven spectrum access system is a promising solution. In this paper, we consider the integration problem of the database information and sensing results, which is a very important factor in order in realizing the hybrid system. We propose the integration framework, which is implemented on the database engine. The framework is divided into two main components. The first one is to process the sensing results, which contains the predictions for locations without sensing results, and the fusion policy on the sensing samples. The second component is the dynamic integration process of the generated sensing results and the database information. We first model the evaluation of the integration results as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP), which enables the database engine to know its current status. Then, we propose an iterative algorithm for the database engine to dynamically adjust its integration policy. In this way, the balanced status of the generated spectrum map is maintained. Simulations are conducted to reveal the performance of our framework.","PeriodicalId":436496,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132318888","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}
