Research on Wavelength Algorithm for Cross-Layer Routing in Software Defi ned Satellite Optical Network by Hai LI, Shanghong ZHAO, Yongjun LI, Cong PENG

“…In response to the difficulty of satellite network management and maintenance and the urgent need for large-capacity data transmission, a software-defi ned satellite optical network cross-layer wavelength routing algorithm based on ant colony algorithm (SDNCLRWA) was proposed.The algorithm took delay and available wavelength rate as heuristic functions, and designed a two-stage cross-layer wavelength routing mechanism to reduced routing hops and network congestion rate.First, it was routed in the LEO satellite single-layer network.The MEO satellite network was used for routing only when the routing fails or the routing hop count was too high.The simulation was carried out under the software-defi ned satellite optical network architecture and the results showed that the SDNCL-RWA algorithm proposed was better than the traditional Dijkstra+FF algorithm and the wavelength routing ant colony algorithm (ACO+FF) in terms of network blocking rate and average routing hops.…”

An Investigation of the Safety Performance of Roundabouts in Korea Based on a Random Parameters Count Model by Minho Park, Dongmin Lee, Je-Jin Park

“…Using random parameters that can take into account unobserved heterogeneity, this study tried to make up for the weakness of the fixed parameters model, which constrains estimated parameters to be fixed across all observations. A total of eight variables were determined to be the main influencing factors on traffic accident frequency including the number and width of entry lanes, the presence of pedestrian crossings, the width of the circulatory lanes, the presence of central islands, the radius and number of entry lanes, and traffic volume influence accident frequency. …”
