Navigation assistance systems are aiming to improve safety and provide traffic optimization and have become more and more popular in a modern vehicular technology. The reason is given by the significant traffic increase and numerous congestion events in large cities, large complexity of road infrastructure, and unexpected or hazardous conditions that can be found on roads. This paper proposes an innovative...
The increasing number of personal and commercial vehicles in transit induces a high volume of road traffic, which can often lead to serious incidents such as permanent traffic jams, increased gas pollution, accidents with material or even human losses. Technology and transportation infrastructure providers are required to provide safer, more scalable, flexible, and cost effective solutions to these...
In this paper a Low Noise Amplifier is implemented with optimal gain and Noise Factor, with a potential application such as S band in the domain microwave. A single transistor with matching and decoupling circuit is used, designed for a 2GHz center frequency, 16 dB gain and 1.4 Noise factor.
In the past decade, due to increasingly challenging traffic conditions in large cities, pollution and safety issues, the development of intelligent transportation systems gained a significant interest due to the potential they present for traffic optimization. The current paper describes the MobiWay Integrated Platform for the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems which provides the infrastructure...
the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of an embedded lane departure monitoring system implemented using the Blackfin microcomputer. This paper is focused on evaluating the image processing algorithm and the main goal of this work is to propose methods to speed-up the necessary computations. A practical, flexible and low cost solution is proposed and the monitoring system is effective...
Pesticides are very important in improving agricultural production, but can harm beneficial insect species, soil, air, water, plants and their fruits. The purpose of this paper is to describe a telemetry solution together with a novel generation of immunobiosensors that will be used in order to gather data to a platform for remote monitoring of pesticide residues. The paper is an overview of the techniques...
With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), the requirements for scalability and flexibility are continuously increasing, thus easy reconfigurable systems such as Software Defined Radio (SDR) are gaining more popularity. The paper provides an overview of the related work in the field of SDR technologies and solutions for convergence of SDR applications. Furthermore, we analyze how the convergence...
Adaptive content streaming is frequently used as an efficient and cheap solution to achieve a good quality for media streaming, in systems having light Over-the-Top architectures. The streaming system developed here makes an initial optimized server selection based on multi-criteria algorithms and then in-session media adaptation. The focus of this paper is on performance analysis (based on real-life...
In this paper, we investigate computing systems and network architectures, dedicated to high frequency trading applications and evaluate their performances. Both a high processing speed and low network latency are important for high-frequency traders. The financial market literature suggests, however, that extremely high speeds discourage other traders from participating in the market, therefore harming...
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of embedded content aware routers implemented using the Blackfin microcomputer. The main goal of this work is to propose methods to speed-up the necessary computations in the content aware routers. A practical solution is proposed.
This work has the goal to study how an efficient deep packet inspection (DPI) algorithm may be implemented using the graphical processing unit (GPU) CUDA (Computer Unified Device Architecture) enabled boards existing in personal computers, and to analyze implementation efficiency. The following tasks have been analyzed: the parallelization of the pattern matching algorithm and the optimization of...
The paper has the purpose to evaluate the performance of the lightweight TCP/IP protocol stack using the digital signal processor Blackfin BF537. The applications of such embedded system are in sensor networking, voice over IP (VoIP) communications and process control in industrial environments. The performance of LwIP stack has been evaluated using the evaluation board EZ-KIT. In this paper we demonstrated...
An architecture based on new concepts of Content Aware Networking (CAN) and Network Aware Applications (NAA) is proposed in FP7 ALICANTE research project as a better support for multimedia flows across the internet. A virtual CAN is a multi-domain overlay network based on light virtualization, provisioned to enable customized treatment of data flows and especially media streams. While it uses legacy...
