Backscatter communication assisted vehicular positioning technology with ultra-high accuracy by Kaifeng HAN, Tiezhi LIU

“…The accurate vehicular positioning technology has been the fundamentalfunction for safer auto-driving and vehicular-to-everything networks.One research trend focuses on enabling the low-cost,reliable,and accurate vehicular positioning in high-density cities,tunnels,and underground where the GPS or cellular positioning can’t work due to the signaling blocking.To this end,a novel backscatter communication assisted vehicular positioning system was proposed where a backscatter-reader (with two antennas) was deployed on vehicle and at least one backscatter-tag is deployed along a roadside,based on which the location of vehicle could be estimated with ultra-high reliability and accuracy.Through simulation verification,BackCom vehicle positioning technology can achieve extremely high positioning accuracy.At the same time,BackCom’s vehicle positioning technology is very easy to expand.By increasing the number of antennas in its positioning reader,it could further improve its positioning accuracy.BackCom vehicle positioning technology has the advantages of low cost,low power consumption,high accuracy,high reliability,and easy deployment.It is suitable for various driving environments and has extremely high theoretical research value and commercial value.…”

Construction and Verification of the Refined Forecast Model for Storm Surges Based on ADCIRC in Guangzhou by LUO Zhifeng, CHEN Gang, DAO Fuhai

“…Considering the joint influence of upstream water,astronomical tides,and storm surges,this paper constructs a refined forecast model for storm surges in Guangzhou based on ADCIRC.Driven by the Jelesnianski typhoon model,this model takes the upstream water and the forecast of tide levels in the open sea as the upper and lower boundary input and uses the irregularly triangular grids to simulate the topographic change of coastlines.The astronomical tides of six representative tide stations in cities near the Pearl River Estuary are compared with the measured water levels of six tide stations in Guangzhou under the influence of Typhoon Mangkhut and Hato for verification.The results show that the refinement degree of this forecast model can reach the hundred-meter level,and the maximum mean absolute error of astronomical tide fitting is less than 13 cm.The water increasing process,maximum water level value, and occurrence time of storm surges of the two typhoons are well fitted.All of these indicate that the model can basically reflect the astronomical tides and the water increasing process of storm surges along the Pearl River Estuary,which can provide a reference for the warning and high-resolution prediction of storm surges in Guangzhou.…”
