Latent Factorization of Tensors with Threshold Distance Weighted Loss for Traffic Data Estimation
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) rely heavily on complete and high-quality spatiotemporal traffic data to achieve optimal performance. Nevertheless, in real-word traffic data collection processes, issues such as communication failures and sensor malfunctions often lead to incomplete or corrupted datasets, thereby posing significant challenges to the advancement of ITS. Among various methods for imputing missing spatiotemporal traffic data, the latent factorization of tensors (LFT) model…

A global urban road network self-adaptive simplification workflow from traffic to spatial representation - Scientific Data
Urban road network is crucial for understanding and revealing the spatial logic of urban organization and evolution. However, existing urban road network datasets like OpenStreetMap are designed for traffic studies, treating each lane as a distinct spatial unit of mobility, which may not align with urban studies considering each road as an integration space for social and cultural dynamics. This study established a novel workflow to self-adaptively transform the global urban road network from t…

Nonlinear Oscillatory Response of Automated Vehicle Car-following: Theoretical Analysis with Traffic State and Control Input Limits
This paper presents a framework grounded in the theory of describing function (DF) and incremental-input DF to theoretically analyze the nonlinear oscillatory response of automated vehicles (AVs) car-following (CF) amidst traffic oscillations, considering the limits of traffic state and control input. While prevailing approaches largely ignore these limits (i.e., saturation of acceleration/deceleration and speed) and focus on linear string stability analysis, this framework establishes a basis …

Catastrophic Forgetting Mitigation via Discrepancy-Weighted Experience Replay
Continually adapting edge models in cloud-edge collaborative object detection for traffic monitoring suffers from catastrophic forgetting, where models lose previously learned knowledge when adapting to new data distributions. This is especially problematic in dynamic traffic environments characterised by periodic variations (e.g., day/night, peak hours), where past knowledge remains valuable. Existing approaches like experience replay and visual prompts offer some mitigation, but struggle to e…

Geminet: Learning the Duality-based Iterative Process for Lightweight Traffic Engineering in Changing Topologies
Recently, researchers have explored ML-based Traffic Engineering (TE), leveraging neural networks to solve TE problems traditionally addressed by optimization. However, existing ML-based TE schemes remain impractical: they either fail to handle topology changes or suffer from poor scalability due to excessive computational and memory overhead. To overcome these limitations, we propose Geminet, a lightweight and scalable ML-based TE framework that can handle changing topologies. Geminet is built…

SkyLB: A Locality-Aware Cross-Region Load Balancer for LLM Inference
Serving Large Language Models (LLMs) efficiently in multi-region setups remains a challenge. Due to cost and GPU availability concerns, providers typically deploy LLMs in multiple regions using instance with long-term commitments, like reserved instances or on-premise clusters, which are often underutilized due to their region-local traffic handling and diurnal traffic variance. In this paper, we introduce SkyLB, a locality-aware multi-region load balancer for LLM inference that aggregates regi…

This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework aimed at emission reduction on peripheral freeway corridors. Emission rates on freeways exhibit high sensitivity to speed fluctuations and congestion recovery processes. To addr…

Offline Map Matching Based on Localization Error Distribution Modeling
Offline map matching involves aligning historical trajectories of mobile objects, which may have positional errors, with digital maps. This is essential for applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), such as route analysis and traffic pattern mining. Existing methods have two main limitations: (i) they assume a uniform Localization Error Distribution (LED) across urban areas, neglecting environmental factors that lead to suboptimal path search ranges, and (ii) they struggle to ef…

Stochastic highway capacity: Unsuitable Kaplan-Meier estimator, revised maximum likelihood estimator, and impact of speed harmonisation
The Kaplan-Meier estimate, also known as the product-limit method (PLM), is a widely used non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in survival analysis. In the context of highway engineering, it has been repeatedly applied to estimate stochastic traffic flow capacity. However, this paper demonstrates that PLM is fundamentally unsuitable for this purpose. The method implicitly assumes continuous exposure to failure risk over time - a premise invalid for traffic flow, where intensity doe…

Autonomous Vision-Aided UAV Positioning for Obstacle-Aware Wireless Connectivity
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer a promising solution for enhancing wireless connectivity and Quality of Service (QoS) in urban environments, acting as aerial Wi-Fi access points or cellular base stations. Their flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities make them suitable for addressing infrastructure gaps and traffic surges. However, optimizing UAV positions to maintain Line of Sight (LoS) links with ground User Equipment (UEs) remains challenging in obstacle-dense urban scenarios. Th…

At this point, I would like to thank the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure and PKP PLK company for repeatedly delaying the electrification of railway line 203 on the Krzyż — Piła segment. As a result of this kind of good maintenance, during today's closing of the traffic on line 354 near Budzyń, PKP InterCity trains (with electric locomotives) needed to take a (longer) detour through Bydgoszcz, and therefore they did not cause any delays on lines 203 and 351. Thanks to that, I was able to easily catch my 10-minute change, and the whole ordeal only cost me 30 minutes total.

MetaSTNet: Multimodal Meta-learning for Cellular Traffic Conformal Prediction
Network traffic prediction techniques have attracted much attention since they are valuable for network congestion control and user experience improvement. While existing prediction techniques can achieve favorable performance when there is sufficient training data, it remains a great challenge to make accurate predictions when only a small amount of training data is available. To tackle this problem, we propose a deep learning model, entitled MetaSTNet, based on a multimodal meta-learning fram…

Supporting Deterministic Traffic on Standard NICs
Networked mission-critical applications (e.g., avionic control and industrial automation systems) require deterministic packet transmissions to support a range of sensing and control tasks with stringent timing constraints. While specialized network infrastructure (e.g., time-sensitive networking (TSN) switches) provides deterministic data transport across the network, achieving strict end-to-end timing guarantees requires equally capable end devices to support deterministic traffic. These end …

Real-Time Network Traffic Forecasting with Missing Data: A Generative Model Approach
Real-time network traffic forecasting is crucial for network management and early resource allocation. Existing network traffic forecasting approaches operate under the assumption that the network traffic data is fully observed. However, in practical scenarios, the collected data are often incomplete due to various human and natural factors. In this paper, we propose a generative model approach for real-time network traffic forecasting with missing data. Firstly, we model the network traffic fo…
