Delay Increase

Nowadays, the Internet of Things enabled Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (IoT-UWSN) is suffering from serious performance restrictions, i.e., high End to End (E2E) delay, low energy efficiency, low data reliability, etc. The necessity of efficient, reliable, collision and interference-free communication has become a challenging task for the researchers. However, the minimum Energy Consumption (EC) and low E2E delay increase the performance of the IoT-UWSN. Therefore, in the current work, two proactive routing protocols are presented, namely: Bellman–Ford Shortest Path-based Routing (BF-SPR-Three) and Energy-efficient Path-based Void hole and Interference-free Routing (EP-VIR-Three). Then we formalized the aforementioned problems to accomplish the reliable data transmission in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN). The main objectives of this paper include minimum EC, interference-free transmission, void hole avoidance and high Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). Furthermore, the algorithms for the proposed routing protocols are presented. Feasible regions using linear programming are also computed for optimal EC and to enhance the network lifespan. Comparative analysis is also performed with state-of-the-art proactive routing protocols. In the end, extensive simulations have been performed to authenticate the performance of the proposed routing protocols. Results and discussion disclose that the proposed routing protocols outperformed the counterparts significantly.

Aiming at the problem of link congestion caused by the shortage of network bandwidth resources at the user end, this paper first proposes a regional load balancing idea. Then, for the problem of bandwidth resource allocation in regional load balancing, a bandwidth allocation model is established and a dynamic auction algorithm is proposed. The algorithm calculates the link quality and stability by constructing a link model, and introduces the auction bandwidth to the auctioneer's incentive degree to obtain the auction bidding function. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the user's network status, reduce the service response delay, increase the throughput, and at the same time can effectively prevent the auction user's false bidding behavior, so that the auction quote quickly converges to the maximum quote, reduces the number of auctions, and reduces Communication overhead.

Balance Board

Neurological disorders, a concussion, or aging can extend the time-delay in the human neuromuscular balance system; this time-delay increase has been shown [5] to be an important factor contributing to the loss of balance. However, commercial balance boards used to help improve individual’s balance deficiencies do not utilize time-delay as a tunable parameter. In order to systematically study stiffness and time-delay induced instabilities in standing posture, we developed an active balance board system with controllable torsional board stiffness, as well as an added controllable feedback time-delay of the torsional board. Using this dynamical system we confirmed the presence of two distinct mechanisms of instability: insufficient stiffness leading to tipping posture and excessive time-delays leading to limit cycle oscillations. We expect that this active balance board will allow for the early identification of an increased fall-risk, especially for subjects with extended time-delays and could help provide insights into how the human postural system adapts to various environments.

And Performance

Research suggests that successfully implemented access management programs can reduce delay, increase capacity, and improve safety performance on single roadway segments and across larger roadway networks. However, quantifying how access management, as a single entity, might affect a transportation system is difficult because countless combinations of strategies can be implemented. Consequently, large-scale access management decisions are often based on subjective assessments and the engineering judgment of practitioners and decision makers. There is a need for a standard, objective, and quantifiable approach to evaluating the impacts and performance of large-scale access management applications. This paper presents a quantitative method for evaluating an access management project on factors including operations; safety; impacts to adjacent land uses; and bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. The result is an access management rating (AMR), a numerical value that allows for straightforward comparisons between corridors or between design alternatives on the same corridor. The proposed methodology eliminates the subjective component of the decision-making process while maintaining enough flexibility to be tailored to a specific agency’s needs and priorities. By improving the consistency of access management evaluations, the decision-making process will be streamlined, funding will be allocated to projects with the greatest needs and opportunities for improvement, and the entire transportation industry will benefit from improved safety, operations, and land use development.
