In this paper, the wireless butterfly-typed network coding scheme is considered. The average packet acquisition time of the wireless network coding scheme is evaluated by theoretical analysis. The effect of the wireless network coding scheme is shown by comparing with the system without network coding scheme. Consequently, it is shown that the wireless network coding scheme is superior to the system without network coding scheme in the reliable channel environment. However, when the distance between nodes becomes longer, the network coding scheme has no effect on shortening of average packet acquisition time.

A traditional parking field is managed by manpower, and perhaps there are also plenty of advanced areas which are auxiliary installed or embedded with IR equipment or marked lines. However, this kind of state is constrained with limit service and bounded. This paper presents an innovative concept of services for parking guidance. Driver can make a reservation by smart phone or tablet pc in thirty minutes before, and furthermore the service platform will book a parking lot using vehicle ID. When vehicle pass through the entrance of parking area, the location of reserved parking lot will be marked in a customized map and transmitted to in-vehicle device using DSRC. After driver parks his vehicle to scheduled parking lot, parking server will send a message to driver or in-vehicle device in order to log the final vehicle location and heading. The developed system, which is named as SmartValet, is also available in underground parking area or interior of the building. The autonomous ability is integrated different sensors to offer robots or remotely operated systems a reliable navigation means. It addresses a global and all weather navigation design based on GPS, gear-box speed, odometry and inertial measurement in dead reckoning and data fusion. Positioning uncertainty will grow with time as a result of integration error so the performance will lose accuracy. To solve this shortcoming with error bounded, this paper uses a creative idea which driver clicks and drags touch panel to give a new position and heading. The proposed system which utilizes DSRC devices, inertial sensors and vehicle network information is implemented with theoretical application and hardware integration, and furthermore the result shows navigation ability and approach applicability.

Automated container terminal is one of the most important confined areas that have attracted extensive research interests over last decade. To improve productivity, as well as enhance operational efficiency of a sea port, automated container terminals must play an important role in global cargo transportation by saving energy consumption, reducing the service cost and increasing the cargo throughput. To achieve these requirements, the development of reliable heterogeneous communication system among all communicating objects such as Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles (IAV), Confined Base Station (CBS) and RFID-based container that communicate inside container terminals, becomes a paramount objective. This communication system has specific challenges comparing to classical vehicular communication systems ones by emphasizing mainly on IAV-to-IAV, IAV-to-CBS and IAV-to- RFID-based container communications. Our aim in this paper is to introduce the IAV architecture dealing with IAVs based communication system, and then present candidate communication technologies for port container terminals. Further discussions about challenging issues will also be provided.

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) were proposed as a novel disruptive networks based on the delay tolerant networking (DTN) paradigm. VDTN architecture uses vehicles to relay data, enabling network connectivity in challenging scenarios. This architecture uses the store-carry-and-forward parading allowing messages reaching their destination by hopping over nodes. This paper presents an evaluation study performed through a real-world VDTN testbed using two applications: Warning Message and Traffic Jam Information. It also validates the real deploy of this new vehicular communication approach. Because the laboratory environment does not accomplished several complex issues presented in vehicular communication systems, this real testbed is an important contribution. The real deployment of VDTN is confirmed by the results. This deployment is possible and this can be seen as a very promising technology for vehicular communications, although it is required appropriated technologies for outline interferences and quality of service support.

Taxi service in Taipei Metropolitan is an industry which is full of information asymmetry. Due to taxi service distribution inefficiently, extra supply exists in terms of time and space in service area. In order to decrease the difference of supply and demand, this study proposes a cloud computing based taxi dispatching service- Cloud Taxi. All the driving behaviors are recorded in the system and are transformed into business insight for the taxi driver. Meanwhile, several innovative services are delivered to the end users. Finally, the information generated by Cloud Taxi would be a strong reference for government to foster and manage the industry.

The paper presents a model of operation rescue and group vehicle approach to support green vehicle communication for urban operation rescue. Using vehicular technology could benefit operation rescue vehicles by enabling each vehicle spreads the information related before arriving at the incident place. In an effort to understand the operation rescue activities, studies on the case study are briefly discussed. Green vehicle communications requirements are presented to show the significance of using vehicular technology. Experiments using NS-2 to measure the average delay time per trip and average throughput for three different scenarios are presented.

The purpose of Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is to improve the spectrum utilization and the spectrum selection is one of the important issues to achieve this objective. In CR environment, many secondary users (SU) share the available spectrum and the SU shall properly select the channel to avoid congestion on the same channel so that the throughput can be maximized. This paper proposes a systematic method to select channel for better transmission performance. A fusion center (FC) is assumed to collect the channel information sent by SUs and decides the channel for the SU that issues the transmission request. The proposed schemes adopt the weight based concept to choose the appropriate channel for the SU. Two strategies, which are the egoistic approach and the cooperative approach, are proposed in this paper to maximize the individual transmission rate and overall system throughput, respectively. Exhaustive simulations were carried out to examine the performance of the proposed schemes. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better performance when compared to the other scheme.

A dedicated Human and Organisational Factors (HOFs) framework for maritime accidents analysis is obviously worthwhile to be developed. In this article, a prototype of the framework is proposed and named as Human Factors Analysis and Classification System for Maritime Accidents (HFACS-MA). This is an analogue of HFACS and is in line with the core concepts of Reason's Generic Error Modelling System (GEMS) and Hawkins's SHEL model. Moreover, it complies with the requirements regarding the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines. A proposed analysis method which incorporates HFACS-MA with Why-Because Analysis to provide a comprehensive insight into the accident regarding Herald of Free Enterprise disaster is also demonstrated. This integration may prove beneficial for spotlighting the causalities of the causal factors identified and the vulnerability of the operating system. The reasons that the integration can be deemed as complements to the demographics of a study using HFACS are also discussed in this paper.

In this paper, we developed an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) image registration system consisting of UAV image to UAV image registration, UAV image to Google satellite image registration, and registration refinement with a normalized variant of mutual information for quality mismatch problem. We show the limitation of the conventional mutual information for quality mismatch and then suggest using a normalized variant of mutual information to refine registration between UAV image and Google satellite image. Experiments carried out on the realistic UAV image sequence and Google satellite image show that the developed system could provide better UAV-to-satellite image registration and could conquer the quality mismatch problem.
