We propose a fast generic MOT system for use in real world applications which is capable of tracking objects from different sensor / detector types with their respective latencies and update rates. An SORT inspired online tracking scheme is extended by time awareness using timelines as unifying concept. The system supports different object, sensor and filter and tracking types by modularizing and generalizing the online tracking scheme, while ensuring high performance using an efficient data-oriented C++-template-based implementation. Using the proposed system we achieve, with comparable evaluation metrics, framerates up to ten times higher than the fastest MOT schemes publicly listed for the axis-aligned bounding-box tracking challenges MOT17 and MOT20.","PeriodicalId":44110,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Journal","volume":"199 1","pages":"65 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76572169","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}

A “smart” allocation should also consider the necessities of the vehicle’s passengers and the needs of the people those passengers ought to serve. This paper deals with a “smart” junction, where several cars approach the intersection from different directions and a traffic light is set to comply to a sequence of time intervals of red and green lights in each direction. The novel approach presented here is based not only on traffic congestion parameters, but also on the social and economic characteristics of the passengers (e.g. a handicapped person, a medical doctor, an employee who is extremely required in a certain organization due to an emergency situation). This paper proposes to enhance the smart junction with a fast lane, which has a flexible entry permit based on social and economic criteria. Machine learning (specifically, Reinforcement Learning (RL)) is added to the junction’s algorithm with the aim of optimizing the social utility of the junction. For the purposes of this study, the utility of the junction is defined by the total social and economic potential benefits given a certain red/green time allocation is set. This is defined as the measure of the reward function which contains positive factors for vehicles which crossed the junction or advanced their position and a negative factor for vehicles which remains in their positions. In addition, a weight value for the vehicles with high priority is also part of the equation. A simplified version of the smart junction has been used, serving as a model for incorporating RL into the “smart’ junction with Fast Lane (FL). Specifically, the Q-Learning algorithm is used to maximize the reward function. Simulation results show that prioritizing high priority vehicles via FL is influenced by the weights and factors given to the reward components. Farther research should enhance the “Smart” junction with FL to a more complex and realistic one using a varying amount of vehicles crossing the junction.","PeriodicalId":44110,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"1 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87208604","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}

Nevertheless, VoIP numerous challenges that hinder its spread. One of the significant challenges is the poor exploit of the VoIP technology network bandwidth (BW), caused by the huge preamble of the VoIP packet. This paper suggests a novel methodology to manage this huge preamble overhead challenge. The proposed methodology is named runt payload VoIP packet (RPV). The core principle of the RPV methodology is to reemploy and exploit the VoIP packet preamble’s data (fields) that are superfluous by VoIP technology, especially for unicast IP voice calls. Generally, those fields will be used to convey the VoIP packet payload. Consequently, diminish or zero the length of the payload and, therefore, spare the BW. The results of the investigation into the suggested RPV methodology indicated significant enhancement in the BW exploitation of VoIP technology. For instance, the saved BW in the examined environment with the LPC codec came to up to 25.9%.","PeriodicalId":44110,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":"33 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89651780","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 variations of strength was assessed using measurements of P-wave velocity of the elastic waves propagating through soil specimens stabilized by different combination of binders. Measurements were performed on 28th day of soil treatment. The best effects of added binders were noted in the following combinations: cement / energy fly ash / bio fly ash (P-waves >3100 m/s), followed by combination lime / energy fly ash / GGBFS (P-waves >2800 m/s) and cement / lime / energy fly ash (P-waves >2700 m/s). Adding lime is effective due to its fixation and chemical bond with particles.

In highly automated driving without a seated user, real-time trajectory prediction of other road users is crucial for collision avoidance with other motor vehicles or vulnerable road users (VRU). For this purpose, moving obstacles are detected by environmental sensors and classified and tracked using object detection and tracking algorithms. The current and past position data as well as environmental information are used to predict future positions. In this paper, we present several AI-based trajectory prediction models that are specifically suited for this use case. Our focus is not only on the accuracy of trajectory prediction, but additionally on a robust, real-time and practical application. We consider models that can predict the trajectories with position estimation or distributions for position estimation for each time step in the future. For this aim, we present generative network structures based on Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) in different variants. After training, the models are integrated into our production system and their computation time is determined on the hardware we use.","PeriodicalId":44110,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"55 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83230880","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}

Kounte","doi":"10.2478/ttj-2022-0024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2478/ttj-2022-0024","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Predicting the most favorable traveling routes for Vehicles plays an influential role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Shortest Traveling Routes with high congestion grievously affect the driving comfort level of VANET users in populated cities. As a result, increase in journey time and traveling cost. Predicting the most favorable traveling routes with less congestion is imperative to minimize the driving inconveniences. A major downside of existing traveling route prediction models is to continuously learn the real-time road congestion data with static benchmarking datasets. However, learning the new information with already learned data is a cumbersome task. The main idea of this paper is to utilize incremental learning on the Hybrid Learning-based traffic Congestion and Timing Prediction (HL-CTP) to select realistic, congestion-free, and shortest traveling routes for the vehicles. The proposed HL-CTP model is decomposed into three steps: dataset construction, incremental and hybrid prediction model, and route selection. Firstly, the HL-CTP constructs a novel Traffic and Timing Dataset (TTD) using historical traffic congestion information. The incremental learning method updates the novel real-time data continuously with the TDD during prediction to optimize the performance efficiency of the hybrid prediction model closer to real-time. Secondly, the hybrid prediction model with various deep learning models performs better by taking the route prediction decision based on the best sub-predictor results. Finally, the HL-CTP selects the most favorable vehicle routes selected using traffic congestion, timing, and uncertain environmental information and enhances the comfort level of VANET users. In the simulation, the proposed HL-CTP demonstrates superior performance in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).","PeriodicalId":44110,"journal":{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"293 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90468156","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}

Smartphones are a valuable source for urban planners to understand and investigate passengers’ behavior and recognize travel patterns more precisely. Different investigations tried to automatically extract transit mode from sensors embedded in the phones such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope. This allows to reduce the resources used in travel diary surveys, which are time-consuming and costly. However, figuring out which mode of transportation individuals use is still challenging. The main limitations include GPS, and mobile sensor data collection, and data labeling errors. First, this paper aims at solving a transport mode classification problem including (still, walking, car, bus, and metro) and then as a first investigation, presents a new algorithm to compute waiting time and access time to public transport stops based on a random forest model. Several public transport trips with different users were saved in Rome to test our access trip phase recognition algorithm.
