6. CORNER.

Author

Giordano, Eugenio, Frank, Raphael, Pau, Giovanni, and Gerla, Mario

Abstract

Advances in portable technologies and emergence of new applications stimulate interest in urban vehicular communications for commercial, military, and homeland defense applications. Simulation is an essential tool to study the behavior and evaluate the performance of protocols and applications in large-scale urban vehicular networks. In this paper we propose CORNER a low computational cost yet accurate urban propagation model for mobile networks. CORNER estimates the presence of buildings and obstacles along the signal path using information extrapolated from urban digital maps. A reverse geocoding algorithm is used to classify the propagation situation of any two nodes that need to communicate starting from their geographical coordinates. Sender and Receiver are classified as in Line of Sight if there are no obstacles in between, and as NON in Line of Sight when there are obstacles (i.e. buildings) between them. CORNER has been validated through extensive on-the-road experiments, the results show high accuracy in predicting the network connectivity. In addition, on-the-road experiments suggest the need to refine the fading model to differentiate between Line of Sight, and NON Line of Sight situations. Finally, we show the impact of CORNER on simulation results for widely used applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

One of the main global challenges to cope with for a sustainable development is transport and mobility. They are undisputed key issues of modern life affecting people's well-being and quality of life, which are significantly impacting the environment. In this scenario, innovative self-driving car technologies and electric solutions, emerging sensing technologies, and interconnected infrastructure can lead to more efficient transport systems and innovative mobility services, keeping into account the urgent need to foster a sustainable development. This workshop aims to gather practitioners with different background and different perspective from both Academia and Industry to further the knowledge in the area of emerging smart technologies and infrastructures for Smart Mobility and Sustainability.

Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary experiment done to identify potential problems and issues in setting up a testbed for air pollution measurement and modeling. Our final testbed, part of a joint research activity between the University of Bologna and the Macao Polytechnic Institute, will be composed of three lines of the air pollution sensors Canarin II and it will be used to produce spatio-temporal open data to test third-party air pollution models. Here, we present a preliminary experiment based on a single line of sensors, showing interesting insights into the actual open challenge of air pollution modeling techniques validation, taking into account the effects of air pollutant emissions sources, meteorology, atmospheric concentrations and urban vegetation.

Abstract

Climate change and higher level of pollutants are affecting our heritage affect the conservation abilities and endangering centuries old buildings and artifacts. Governments and conservation agencies alike are scrambling to monitor and prevent disasters that would result in the loss of precious cultural artifacts. Sensing technologies, on one side, and new restoration techniques on the other, are in being used in this effort however they result in high costs and complex installation logistics. In this paper we present a pollution monitoring study for the Biblioteca Joanina, a baroque library situated in University of Coimbra that has been inducted in the UNESCO world's heritage list in 2013. In contrast with current practices the study has been conducted using a low-cost sensing platform, namely CANARIN II, built in a joint effort by the Sorbonne Universite, the Macao Polytechnic Institute and the Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand). Our study shows that is possible to use low-cost platform for cultural heritage monitoring and preservation and how it can support decision makers in execute simple policy changes and yet achieve substantial impacts in the preservation efforts.
