Promenades sensibles à performer by Mathilde Christmann , Élise Olmedo , Mathias Poisson

“…The protocol of « maps-scores » (« cartes-partitions » in french) is thought as a navigation tool. It articulates descriptions of spatial experiments (« descriptive cartography ») and the possibility of experiences to come (prescriptive score); this tool refers to a process which traces the experience at the same time as it guides the exploration. …”

Digital twin based intelligent urban traffic forecasting and guidance strategy by Xiwen LIAO, Supeng LENG, Yujun MING, Tianyang LI

“…As the technology of ubiquitous Internet of things and artificial intelligence improves by leaps and bounds, the transportation system revolution is flourishing and bringing new opportunities and challenges.Considering the defect in the existing navigation system, and the neglect of the temporal and spatial characteristics of traffic flow, the macro traffic network and micro vehicle network were modeled and their coupling relationship was mined.Then, a digital twin based urban traffic forecasting and guidance method was proposed to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.The spatial-temporal traffic flow information was predicted through the diffusion convolution recurrent neural network, which was explicitly applied to the vehicle path planning decision.On this basis, a spatial-temporal collaborative deep reinforcement learning method was proposed to implement the future-oriented collaborative path planning of vehicles.It also guided the underlying vehicle twins to select the optimal strategy for the real world.With SUMO for simulation verification, the experimental results show that the proposed method is significantly better than the existing algorithms in improving the travel completion ratio and congestion relief, and can improve the efficiency of urban traffic travel.…”

LQG control-aware resource scheduling method for IEEE 802.11ax networks by Meng ZHENG, Lei ZHANG, Wei LIANG

“…Due to the advantages in low cost, ease of maintenance and license-exempt spectrum, etc, IEEE 802.11ax is widely adopted in industrial control applications.For a wireless networked control system based on IEEE 802.11ax, a control-aware resource scheduling method was proposed to support the wireless high-speed control of multiple control systems.Firstly, considering the packet dropout problem of sensing data in IEEE 802.11ax, the optimal state estimator and the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control of the studied control system were given.Secondly, the dependency between the LQG performance and the transmission reliability of IEEE 802.11ax was analyzed, the expected LQG performance minimization problem of resource scheduling was formulated, and further, an LQG control-aware resource scheduling (LCARS) method was proposed.Finally, the effectiveness of the LCARS method was demonstrated via extensive simulations.LCARS can be applied to smart factory applications including navigation of automated guided vehicles, remote control of robots and so on.…”
