Preamble Arbitration Rule and Interference Suppression-Based Polling Medium Access Control for In-Vehicle Ultra-Wideband Networks by Makoto Okuhara, Nobuyuki Kurioka, Shigeki Mitoh, Patrick Finnerty, Chikara Ohta

“…Second, the algorithm exploits the hierarchical nature of preamble codes in simultaneously received frames, reducing data loss rate to the order of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10^{-5}$</tex-math></inline-formula> by prioritizing frames from critical communication devices based on the preamble code hierarchy. Implementing the UWB-based PARIS method in wireless vehicle networks can reduce the weight of the wire harnesses by approximately 20&#x0025;, offering a promising solution to the challenges posed by traditional wiring systems.…”

Multi-criteria decision-making method for emergency shelter site selection considering flood risk: A case study of Zhuhai, China by Bo Liu, Yingbing Li, Yan Zhang, Zhichao Wu, Yansong Pan, Meiquan Li

“…To address these two issues, this study innovatively proposes a new multi-criteria decision-making model for selecting urban emergency shelter sites. (1) For the first time, the model systematically classifies the factors affecting the location of emergency shelter sites into four categories: hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and relief capacity, from which 11 decision-making indicators, such as flood risk, precipitation, and slope, are selected; (2) The model integrates multiple algorithms, including analytic hierarchy process, entropy weight method, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and TOPSIS, during the decision-making process, and is capable of comprehensively weighing the expert's subjective preferences, objective indicator levels and the relationship between multiple indicators to achieve a more reasonable ranking. …”
