Abstract

The call for papers resulted in a high number of submis- sions, from which we have been able to select 12 excellent papers dealing with the different aspects of satellite commu- nications and navigation. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are attracting a considerable [...]

Abstract

RTS is a new instrument designed to discover transient astronomical sources in the radio spectrum. To operate, it will require a high-performance radio transient pipeline, capable of processing hundreds of data streams in real-time, at a data rate of 36 GB/s. What makes the processing [...]

Abstract

International audience; When displaying thousands of aircraft trajectories on a screen, the visualization is spoiled by a tangle of trails. The visual analysis is therefore difficult, especially if a specific class of trajectories in an erroneous dataset has to be studied. We designed [...]

Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the implementation and subsequent improvement of a technique for computing AC interference on buried metallic pipelines due to nearby power transmission lines. In order to perform this task, the finite element method (F.E.M.) is employed. After performing [...]

Abstract

The runway configuration is the set of the runways at an airport that are used for arrivals and departures at any time. While many factors, including weather, expected demand, environmental considerations, and coordination of flows with neighboring airports, influence the choice of [...]

Abstract

The evaluation of driver's steering comfort, which is mainly concerned with the haptic driver–vehicle interaction, is important for the optimization of advanced driver assistance systems. The current approaches to investigating steering comfort are mainly based on the driver's subjective [...]

Abstract

The route guidance system (RGS) has been considered an important technology to mitigate urban traffic congestion. However, existing RGSs provide only route guidance after congestion happens. This reactive strategy imposes a strong limitation on the potential contribution of current [...]

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is seen as another information and industrial wave after the invention of personal computers, the Internet, and mobile communication networks. Especially, IoT/cellular network integration becomes a new service platform for the different kinds of traffic manipulation. [...]

Abstract

Pipeline networks are one of the key infrastructures of our modern life. Proactive monitoring and frequent inspection of pipeline networks are very important for sustaining their safe and efficient functionalities. Existing monitoring and maintenance approaches are costly and inefficient [...]

Abstract

SUMMARY In this paper we consider a specific Air Traffic Management problem, where multiple aircraft in as pecif ic region are required to reach ad if ferent target zone in minimum expected time, while maintaining safe separation. The problem is complicated by the presence of random [...]
