Footprints of the Future: Cleaner and Faster Transportation with Shared E-Scooter Operational Models by Ömer Kaya

“…In this study, the Geographic Information System (GIS)-based hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method is proposed for the solution of implementation, site selection, and service areas problems of three different shared e-scooter operational models. To this end, a four-step scientific and strategic solution approach is developed: (i) the identification and detailed explanation of 5 main and 24 sub-criteria, (ii) the weighting of criteria through the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), Multi-Influencing Factor (MIF), and Best–Worst Method (BWM) in order to increase the sensitivity and robustness of the study, (iii) obtaining a suitability map for the solution of implementation, site selection, and service areas problems of operational models, and (iv) assigning shared e-scooter stations and analyzing their performance levels with COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS). …”

On the implementation of a global optimization method for mixed-variable problems by Nannicini, Giacomo

“…We propose several modifications aimed at generalizing and improving these two algorithms: (i) the use of an extended space to represent categorical variables in unary encoding; (ii) a refinement phase to locally improve a candidate solution; (iii) interpolation models without the unisolvence condition, to both help deal with categorical variables, and initiate the optimization before a uniquely determined model is possible; (iv) a master-worker framework to allow asynchronous objective function evaluations in parallel. …”

FDR coding and decoding algorithm for reliable transmission in underwater acoustic network by Lijuan WANG, Xiujuan DU, Chong LI

“…By analyzing the shortcomings of RLT coding and decoding algorithm,a filtering dimension reduction (FDR) algorithm was proposed,which eliminated the waiting time of the traditional decoding algorithm and achieves fast decoding.In addition,XOR operation between encoded packages effectively increased the number of one-degree encoded packages,and improved decoding probability while reducing transmission delay.An optimized degree distribution function for FDR decoding algorithm was proposed,which increased the proportion of two-degree,three-degree and four-degree encoded packages,further increased the probability of one-degree packet,so that speeded up the decoding progress.Simulation results with NS3 show that the decoding success probability of FDR algorithms higher than RLT algorithm.…”
