This paper proposes a novel quantity-based demand management system that aims to promote ridesharing. The system sells a time-dependent permit to access a road facility (conceptualized as a bottlen…
Weakly-coupled mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique based on linearly-polarized (LP) modes in ultralow-modal-crosstalk few-mode fibers (FMF) has been considered as a promising candidate for c…
The “asymmetry” between spatiotemporally varying passenger demand and fixed-capacity transportation supply has been a long-standing problem in urban mass transportation (UMT) systems around the…
Many malicious activities require a large number of IP addresses for altering user identities. It is well known that a large number of IP addresses could be obtained through compromising numerous m…
In smart cities, the Internet of Things (IoT) consists of many low-power smart nodes. Its robustness is essential for protection of communication in data science against node failures caused by ene…
