Security of supply in gas and hybrid energy networks

Reliable energy supply becomes increasingly complex in hybrid energy networks, due to increasing amounts of renewable electricity and more dynamic demand. Accurate modeling of integrated electricity and gas distribution networks is required to quantify operational bottlenecks in these networks and to increase security of supply. In this paper,...

Co-simulation framework for control, communication and traffic for vehicle platoons

Vehicle platooning has gained attention for its potential to achieve an increased road capacity and safety, and a higher fuel efficiency. Member vehicles of a platoon wirelessly communicate complying with industrial standards such as IEEE 802.11p. By exchanging information with other members via wireless communication, a platoon member computes...

Understanding the impact of circuit-level inaccuracy on sensor network performance

Energy efficiency is of paramount importance in designing low-power wireless sensor nodes. Approximate computing is a new circuit-level technique for reducing power consumption. However, the gain in power by applying this technique is achieved at the cost of computational errors. The impact of such inaccuracies in the circuit level of a radio...

Validation methodology focussing on fuel efficiency as applied in the eCoMove project

This paper discusses the validation approach applied in the eCoMove project (a large scale EU 7th Framework Programme project). In this project, applications are developed that on the one hand optimise network-wide traffic management and control, and on the other hand advise drivers on the most efficient routes and assist them in applying an eco...

Wireless network simulation - Your window on future network performance

The paper describes three relevant perspectives on current wireless simulation practices. In order to obtain the key challenges for future network simulations, the characteristics of "beyond 3G" networks are described, including their impact on simulation. © Springer 2005.

Networked simulators: effects on the perceptual validity of traffic in driving simulators [Genetwerkte simulatoren: effecten op de perceptuele kwaliteit van verkeer in rijsimulatoren]

Simulators have been used as a tool for training for many decades, and they are still gaining importance. Originally built for stand-alone use, the emergence of (global) network communication allowed these simulators to be connected with other simulators. This introduced the possibility of practicing large, complex exercises with multiple...
