Abstract

Faced with the challenge of providing adequate transport services with limited resources, cities have, for several decades, been investing in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS utilize Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to make more efficient use of existing [...]

Abstract

The increasing need for mobility has brought about significant changes in transportation infrastructures. Inefficiencies cause enormous losses of time, decrease in the level of safety for both vehicles and pedestrians, high pollution, degradation of quality of life, and huge waste [...]

Abstract

[EN] Today, smart cities are presented as a solution to achieve a more sustainable urban development while increasing the quality of life of its citizens through the use of new technologies (Neirotti, 2013). Smart Mobility is based on innovative and sustainable ways to provide transport [...]

Abstract

One of the most significant urban transport problems is traffic congestion. All major cities both in developed and developing countries are facing the problem due to increasing travel demand caused by increasing urbanization and the attendant economic and population growth. Recognizing [...]

Abstract

Mención Internacional en el título de doctor The technological advances in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are exponentially improving over the last century. The objective is to provide intelligent and innovative services for the different modes of transportation, towards [...]

Abstract

With the advent of intelligent transportation systems and their associated more stringent requirements in terms of latency and packet delivery ratio, existing radio access technologies have exhibited a limited performance in specific scenarios that makes their sole operation in isolation [...]

Abstract

Los rápidos avances tecnológicos han permitido una nueva generación de redes denominadas USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network), donde los dispositivos móviles y pequeños sensores están presentes en todas partes y se entremezclan en las actividades cotidianas del ser humano. Esta [...]

Abstract

This paper presents the tools that have been developed in the IST-Anemone project, a large European testbed deployed for testing and validating IPv6 mobility protocols and products. The testbed is available to third parties, which may include research projects and companies seeking [...]

Abstract

Wireless vehicular networks are to be deployed in both Europe and the USA within upcoming years. Such networks introduce a new promising source of information about vehicular environments to be used by cooperative advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). However, development and [...]

Abstract

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), successful delivery of GeoUnicast and GeoBroadcast packets depends on scenario-specific aspects like vehicle density, distribution of vehicles on the road and type of the environment (e.g., urban, rural). These aspects can significantly influence [...]
