In the field of urban traffic management, optimising traffic signal control on major arterial road is crucial for reducing congestion and improving overall road efficiency. In this paper, we explore a novel approach to design and implement green wave control for urban arterials using Large Language Models (LLM), such as GPT-4. Our approach combines state-of-the-art LLM with traffic signal control policies, aiming to explore the potential of LLM for application in the field of traffic control. We design a workflow for LLM-driven green wave control generation for urban arterial road traffic signal control as an example. The experiments use SUMO simulation software to construct the traffic signal control problem of the arterial road. We verify that LLM can implement the analysis and solution process of the traffic signal control problem. The traffic signal control policy is generated interactively through natural language, which reduces the data analysis and computation pressure of traffic managers. The experimental results show that the process generates the green wave control of the arterial road that can improve the average speed of the road. The potential application of LLM in the field of traffic control is verified in this work.

Benefiting from advantages such as miniaturization, lightweight design, and cost-effectiveness, 13.56 MHz High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (HF RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) tags have found increasing applications across various fields like biomedical, tracking, and logistics, bringing a lot of convenience to the industries and commercials, as well as decreasing the medical and employment pressure. Nevertheless, the smaller the tag, the less likely it is to be fixed in orientation. As the detection of such tags relies on magnetic coupling, the orientation sensitivity is high, and some nulls of detection are introduced inside the considered volume of interest in practical applications. It is essential to optimize the magnetic field vectorial distribution generated by the NFC reader. This paper uses a combination of two paralleled tuned coils (RLC resonator model) in series to be the RFID/NFC reader coils. In such a system, the currents feeding the coils are in quadrature. The system is made of two-phase coils. Additionally, each coil is composed of two sub-coils placed on opposite surfaces of a cube, for the prototype of this system presented in the paper. CST simulations have been analyzed and a 3D printed cube structure with copper tapes has been realized, to validate the idea experimentally. Detection tests were performed with a commercial HF RFID reader and an ISO15693 NFC tag.
13.56 MHz 高频射频识别(HF RFID)和近场通信(NFC)标签具有小型化、轻量化设计和成本效益高等优点,在生物医学、跟踪和物流等各个领域的应用日益广泛,为工业和商业带来了极大的便利,同时也减轻了医疗和就业压力。然而,标签越小,越不容易固定方向。由于这类标签的检测依赖于磁耦合,因此方向灵敏度很高,在实际应用中,在所考虑的相关体积内会出现一些检测空。因此,必须优化 NFC 阅读器产生的磁场矢量分布。本文使用两个串联的并联调谐线圈(RLC 谐振器模型)组合作为 RFID/NFC 阅读器线圈。在这种系统中,馈入线圈的电流是正交的。该系统由两相线圈组成。此外,每个线圈都由放置在立方体相对表面上的两个子线圈组成,这就是本文介绍的系统原型。我们对 CST 仿真进行了分析,并实现了带有铜带的 3D 打印立方体结构,通过实验验证了这一想法。使用商用高频 RFID 阅读器和 ISO15693 NFC 标签进行了检测测试。

As space information networks become more heterogeneous by integrating various space platforms, layers and operators, new security challenges arise that need proper investigation. Existing works mainly focus on specific solutions but do not provide security models that can address these challenges holistically. This work analyzes the adoption of the Bundle Protocol Security (BPSec) to safeguard these networks. Our work demonstrates the flexibility of this protocol in such heterogeneous scenario. We propose different security models that can be adopted based on traffic conditions and node’s knowledge, resulting in a security model that can evolve and adapt over time. Overall, our study unveils new opportunities associated with BPSec in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) environments, encouraging further investigation in this domain.

Developing accurate mathematical or data-driven models for effective controller design under dynamic variable conditions becomes increasingly challenging. For this reason, the concept of a digital twin (DT) as a virtual representation of a physical asset has been introduced as a tool for process modelling, design, and control implementation while providing additional knowledge of the system that can be used to enable awareness capabilities on the asset. However, digital twin models used to be complex, requiring expensive computational times depending on the application to provide the most accurate system representation, limiting its application in edge, embedded, and register transfer level computing domains. Therefore, using reduced-order digital twin models is an alternative to get DT closer to the physical asset. Considering these challenges, we propose a reduced-order FPGA-based digital twin implementation that directly sources data from the real system, operates in parallel with the virtual system, and enables awareness mechanisms to improve the system’s operation. This setup removes large data transfers, cloud interfaces and expensive computational times deriving into a faster and more efficient DT. To illustrate the capabilities of this embedded digital twin, we present a case study focused on monitoring a power converter. The study involves establishing and enforcing a safe operating area (SOA) for the power converter, implementing error awareness mechanisms, and enabling machine learning models to predict converter load conditions and fault events detection. Thus, we aim to showcase the effectiveness of our proposed FPGA-based digital twin approach in addressing real-time control challenges towards smart control engineering.

The development of innovative, miniaturized, and low-cost Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for application in asset monitoring, counterfeit prevention, or personnel tracking requires advancements in materials, fabrication processes, and packaging. Typical RFID tags can be circumvented by tampering, cloning, or spoofing; however, by adding security features to the tag, nefarious actions such as these can be mitigated. Toward this objective, this paper presents the design and fabrication of an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID tag through flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) materials and processes for authentication and anti-tamper /anti-counterfeit applications. The presented UHF RFID tag consists of a passive RF chip and dipole antenna with embedded hardware and software security features. The tag was fabricated using a hybrid of manufacturing techniques including, conventional photolithography and additive aerosol jet printing. The design, materials selection, processing, and tailored FHE fabrication processes, led to achieving a system-level functional RFID tag with a read distance of up to 15 in (0.381 m). The dependency of the read distance on the host surface was studied by attaching tags to different materials including surfaces with various dielectric constants and thicknesses. The performance of the tags was evaluated under realistic use conditions by performing thermal cycling, bending, and wearability tests. The RFID tag’s resistance to different tamper attack vectors (vulnerability assessment) is demonstrated. Overall, the demonstrated UHF RFID tag opens new opportunities for the development of flexible, lightweight, and low-cost RFID tags that leverage FHE fabrication techniques and materials for authentication and anti-tamper applications.
要开发创新型、小型化和低成本的射频识别(RFID)标签,用于资产监控、防伪或人员追踪,就必须在材料、制造工艺和包装方面取得进步。典型的 RFID 标签可以通过篡改、克隆或伪造来规避;但是,通过在标签中添加安全功能,可以减少此类不法行为。为实现这一目标,本文介绍了通过柔性混合电子(FHE)材料和工艺设计和制造的超高频(UHF)射频识别(RFID)标签,用于身份验证和防篡改/防伪造应用。该超高频射频识别(UHF RFID)标签由无源射频芯片和偶极子天线组成,具有嵌入式硬件和软件安全功能。该标签采用混合制造技术制造,包括传统的光刻技术和增材气溶胶喷射打印技术。通过设计、材料选择、加工和量身定制的 FHE 制造工艺,实现了读取距离达 15 英寸(0.381 米)的系统级功能 RFID 标签。通过在不同材料(包括具有不同介电常数和厚度的表面)上安装标签,研究了读取距离与主机表面的关系。通过热循环、弯曲和耐磨测试,评估了标签在实际使用条件下的性能。此外,还展示了 RFID 标签对不同篡改攻击向量的抵抗能力(脆弱性评估)。总之,所展示的超高频 RFID 标签为开发灵活、轻质、低成本的 RFID 标签提供了新的机遇,这些标签利用了用于身份验证和防篡改应用的超高频电子元件制造技术和材料。

Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing intersection adaptive control methods in terms of the control scheme initiative and the interaction level between simulation and the actual system, this paper proposes a traffic signal active control method based on the parallel control theory. The method constructs a set of artificial systems parallel to the actual traffic signal control system, designs a traffic flow prediction and simulation module on the artificial system. At the same time, a linear optimization model of traffic signal is constructed in the actual system. Through the two sets of parallel systems, the evaluation of the operation effect and the generation of comprehensive optimization direction of the signal scheme under the predicted traffic state and historical traffic state are realized. The application of the parallel control system in traffic signal control is finally realized, and the experimental results show that this method can effectively reduce the trip delay, especially in the time when the traffic flow fluctuation is obvious.

Ground-based assets traditionally aid space vehicle navigation, but the need for autonomy is steadily growing to meet the demands of future deep-space exploration. This paper proposes a customized Trajectory-Aware Extended Kalman Filter (TA-EKF) architecture, which conforms to the kinematic approach for Orbit Determination (OD) based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Challenges at high altitudes, such as reduced GNSS signal availability and poor geometry, necessitate advanced filtering architectures leveraging external aiding data. When the receiver is not expected to interface with on-board guidance and control subsystems, aiding observations—in the form of a pre-mission planned spacecraft trajectory—allow to pursue precise and accurate OD only relying on GNSS measurements. Two alternative OAEKF designs are formulated, which foresee observation-domain and state-domain integration of aiding observations, respectively. While the former design acts directly on the filter posterior, the latter aims to overcome deficiencies in the state prediction owing to misspecified process dynamics. The feasibility of using terrestrial GNSS signals in Earth-Moon transfer orbits (MTOs) is thus demonstrated against aiding observation errors and mismodeling. The developed OAEKF models are thoroughly assessed via extensive Monte Carlo (MC) analyses, comparing their OD performance against a standalone EKF solution in a dedicated constellation simulator and mission planner.
地基资产传统上用于辅助太空飞行器导航,但为了满足未来深空探索的需求,对自主性的需求正在稳步增长。本文提出了一种定制的轨迹感知扩展卡尔曼滤波器(TA-EKF)架构,它符合基于全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)的轨道确定(OD)运动学方法。高海拔地区面临的挑战,如全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)信号可用性降低和几何形状不佳,需要利用外部辅助数据建立先进的滤波架构。当接收器预计不会与机载制导和控制子系统连接时,辅助观测--任务前计划航天器轨迹的形式--允许仅依靠全球导航卫星系统的测量来追求精确和准确的定向。本文提出了两种可供选择的 OAEKF 设计,分别设想了观测域和状态域的辅助观测整合。前一种设计直接作用于滤波器后验,而后一种设计则旨在克服由于过程动态的不确定而导致的状态预测缺陷。因此,在地月转移轨道(MTOs)上使用地面全球导航卫星系统信号的可行性得到了验证,从而避免了辅助观测误差和错误建模。通过广泛的蒙特卡罗(MC)分析,对所开发的 OAEKF 模型进行了全面评估,并在专用星座模拟器和飞行任务规划器中将其 OD 性能与独立的 EKF 解决方案进行了比较。

In this work, we demonstrate that it is possible to read UHF RFID tags without a carrier. Specifically, we introduce an alternative reader design that does not emit a carrier and allows reading RFID tags intended for conventional carrier-based systems. While traditional RFID tags modulate a carrier, it is important to note that a modulation circuit used for backscatter also modulates the inherent noise of the tag circuitry, including the Johnson noise, irrespective of whether a carrier is present or not. Our Modulated Noise Communication (MNC) approach leverages recent work on Modulated Johnson Noise (MJN) and can be read by an alternative RFID reader design that enables simpler, more accessible RFID readings than a conventional backscatter reader by eliminating self-jamming obstructions. MNC is shown to support wireless transmission of data packets between 2 cm to 10 cm of separation between a standard UHF RFID tag and the proposed alternative reader for data rates of 1 bps and 2 bps.
在这项工作中,我们证明了在没有载波的情况下读取超高频 RFID 标签是可能的。具体来说,我们引入了一种不发射载波的替代读取器设计,可以读取传统载波系统使用的 RFID 标签。传统的 RFID 标签会对载波进行调制,但值得注意的是,用于反向散射的调制电路也会对标签电路的固有噪声(包括约翰逊噪声)进行调制,而与载波存在与否无关。我们的调制噪声通信(MNC)方法利用了最近在调制约翰逊噪声(MJN)方面的研究成果,可通过另一种射频识别(RFID)读取器设计进行读取,与传统的反向散射读取器相比,这种读取器消除了自干扰障碍,读取起来更简单、更方便。MNC 支持在标准 UHF RFID 标签和拟议的替代读取器之间 2 厘米至 10 厘米的距离内无线传输数据包,数据传输速率为 1 bps 和 2 bps。

In recent years, the combination of ultrasound imaging and robotics has opened up new possibilities, and a flexible and efficient robotic wrist is the key to achieving the implementation of this technology. Equipped with an ultrasound probe, a robotic wrist with remote center of motion (RCM) control can effectively assist physicians in performing ultrasound examinations. In this paper, we present the development of a parallel mechanism-based robotic wrist and illustrate the kinematic solution of the control, which can effectively set different RCM points. For validation, we tested the control accuracy of the prototype using an optical tracking system and the results show that the average absolute translational error is 0.51mm, rotational error is 0.41° and the constraint point error along the axis is 0.57mm. Furthermore, to simulate a realistic environment, an ultrasound image acquisition experiment is designed based on an ultrasound abdominal phantom. The results effectively demonstrate the effectiveness of RCM control for adjusting actual ultrasound images through real image acquisition, demonstrating the usefulness of the method in assisting physicians to perform ultrasound sweeps as well as providing new ways of acquiring diagnostic information.
