Persistent Autoregressive Mapping with Traffic Rules for Autonomous Driving
Safe autonomous driving requires both accurate HD map construction and persistent awareness of traffic rules, even when their associated signs are no longer visible. However, existing methods either focus solely on geometric elements or treat rules as temporary classifications, failing to capture their persistent effectiveness across extended driving sequences. In this paper, we present PAMR (Persistent Autoregressive Mapping with Traffic Rules), a novel framework that performs autoregressive c…

Traffic State Estimation in Congestion to Extend Applicability of DFOS
This paper presents a traffic state estimation (TSE) method in congestion for distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS). DFOS detects vehicle driving vibrations along the optical fiber and obtains their trajectories in the spatiotemporal plane. From these trajectories, DFOS provides mean velocities for real-time spatially continuous traffic monitoring without dead zones. However, when vehicle vibration intensities are insufficiently low due to slow speed, trajectories cannot be obtained, leading t…

DNS in the Time of Curiosity: A Tale of Collaborative User Privacy Protection
The Domain Name System (DNS) is central to all Internet user activity, resolving accessed domain names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. As a result, curious DNS resolvers can learn everything about Internet users' interests. Public DNS resolvers are rising in popularity, offering low-latency resolution, high reliability, privacy-preserving policies, and support for encrypted DNS queries. However, client-resolver traffic encryption, increasingly deployed to protect users from eavesdroppers…

A Hybrid Optimal Velocity Drag Model for Traffic Flow Dynamics

A Hybrid Optimal Velocity Drag Model for Traffic Flow Dynamics
We develop a Hybrid Optimal Velocity-Drag (OVD) model that combines the behavioral structure of the classical Optimal Velocity Model (OVM) with a drag-based saturation law motivated by Newtonian mechanics. The model retains the OVM principle that desired speed depends on headway, but replaces the linear relaxation law with a formulation that enforces bounded accelerations and smooth convergence to equilibrium. After reviewing the OVM framework and its stability properties, we introduce the OVD …

Self-driving cars: Are we there yet?
Autonomous driving remains a highly active research domain that seeks to enable vehicles to perceive dynamic environments, predict the future trajectories of traffic agents such as vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists and plan safe and efficient future motions. To advance the field, several competitive platforms and benchmarks have been established to provide standardized datasets and evaluation protocols. Among these, leaderboards by the CARLA organization and nuPlan and the Waymo Open Dataset …

QoS-Aware Proportional Fairness Scheduling for Multi-Flow 5G UEs: A Smart Factory Perspective

QoS-Aware Proportional Fairness Scheduling for Multi-Flow 5G UEs: A Smart Factory Perspective
Private 5G networks are emerging as key enablers for smart factories, where a single device often handles multiple concurrent traffic flows with distinct Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Existing simulation frameworks, however, lack the fidelity to model such multi-flow behavior at the QoS Flow Identifier (QFI) level. This paper addresses this gap by extending Simu5G to support per-QFI modeling and by introducing a novel QoS-aware Proportional Fairness (QoS-PF) scheduler. The scheduler dy…

Approximately Optimal Toll Design for Efficiency and Equity in Arc-Based Traffic Assignment Models
Congestion pricing policies have emerged as promising traffic management tools to alleviate traffic congestion caused by travelers' selfish routing behaviors. The core principle behind deploying tolls is to impose monetary costs on frequently overcrowded routes, to incentivize self-interested travelers to select less easily congested routes. Recent literature has focused on toll design based on arc-based traffic assignment models (TAMs), which characterize commuters as traveling through a traff…

A provision in the recently passed Wisconsin state budget that diverts $2.2 million annually from schools to fund 12 Milwaukee County prosecutors may violate the Wisconsin Constitution.
The positions had previously been paid for with federal funding that is set to expire.
The budget act redirects all traffic fines and forfeiture revenues in Milwaukee County to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office to fund 12 positions.

Short-Term Guidance Algorithm on a Drone Road System
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have experienced expanding use in urban environments in recent years. However, the growing density of drones raises significant challenges, such as avoiding collisions and managing air traffic efficiently, especially in congested areas. To address these issues, a structured road system and an effective guidance algorithm are essential. In this paper, we introduce a markup language allowing to describe drone road systems (DRS), in which …

Flexible and High-Performance Radio Access Networks for upcoming Sixth-Generation (6G) Systems
The collaborative research project 6G-ANNA develops concepts for the 6G radio access network (RAN) architecture and technology components. Previous RAN generations have become inherently more complex and reach their limits in handling foreseen future traffic demands with their diverse characteristics in an efficient manner, e.g., for the use-case of mobile eXtended Reality (XR) on a massive scale. One main objective of 6G is to regain both operational and energy efficiency, i.e., by simplificat…

User-Centric Communication Service Provision for Edge-Assisted Mobile Augmented Reality
Future 6G networks are envisioned to facilitate edge-assisted mobile augmented reality (MAR) via strengthening the collaboration between MAR devices and edge servers. In order to provide immersive user experiences, MAR devices must timely upload camera frames to an edge server for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based device pose tracking. In this paper, to cope with user-specific and non-stationary uplink data traffic, we develop a digital twin (DT)-based approach for user-centric…

Building Transparency in Deep Learning-Powered Network Traffic Classification: A Traffic-Explainer Framework
Recent advancements in deep learning have significantly enhanced the performance and efficiency of traffic classification in networking systems. However, the lack of transparency in their predictions and decision-making has made network operators reluctant to deploy DL-based solutions in production networks. To tackle this challenge, we propose Traffic-Explainer, a model-agnostic and input-perturbation-based traffic explanation framework. By maximizing the mutual information between predictions…

Semantic Edge-Cloud Communication for Real-Time Urban Traffic Surveillance with ViT and LLMs over Mobile Networks
Real-time urban traffic surveillance is vital for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to ensure road safety, optimize traffic flow, track vehicle trajectories, and prevent collisions in smart cities. Deploying edge cameras across urban environments is a standard practice for monitoring road conditions. However, integrating these with intelligent models requires a robust understanding of dynamic traffic scenarios and a responsive interface for user interaction. Although multimodal Large Lan…
