Current proposals for combining service functions (SFs) do not address some critical management issues, such as the discovery of SF instances close to IP data paths. This information is crucial for deploying complex services both in large…
Real-time crowdsourced maps such as Waze provide timely updates on traffic, congestion, accidents and points of interest. In this paper, we demonstrate how lack of strong location authentication allows creation of software-based {\em Sybil…
We examine how introduction of Shared Connected and Automated vehicles (SCAVs) as a new mobility mode could affect travel demand, welfare, as well as traffic congestion in the network. To do so, we adapt an agent-based day-to-day adjustment…
Data collaboration between municipal authorities (MA) and mobility providers (MPs) has brought tremendous benefits to transportation systems in the era of big data. Engaging in collaboration can improve the service operations (e.g., reduced…
Apple recently published its first Beta of the iCloud Private Relay, a privacy protection service with promises resembling the ones of VPNs. The architecture consists of two layers (ingress and egress), operated by disjoint providers. The…
As the most significant data source in smart mobility systems, GPS trajectories can help identify user travel mode. However, these GPS datasets may contain users' private information (e.g., home location), preventing many users from sharing…
Wastewater surveillance (WWS) has emerged as a valuable tool for public health surveillance, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Its long-term utility is constrained, however, by fragmented data systems, inconsistent metadata…
Global solar photospheric magnetic maps play a critical role in solar and heliospheric physics research. Routine magnetograph measurements of the field occur only along the Sun-Earth line, leaving the far-side of the Sun unobserved. Surface…
Urban transportation is being transformed by mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems. One of the goals of MoD systems is to provide personalized transportation services to passengers. This process is facilitated by a centralized operator that…
Automatic detection of public transport (PT) usage has important applications for intelligent transport systems. It is crucial for understanding the commuting habits of passengers at large and over longer periods of time. It also enables…
A large amount of information has been published to online social networks every day. Individual privacy-related information is also possibly disclosed unconsciously by the end-users. Identifying privacy-related data and protecting the…
We develop a system for real-time public transportation data, deciding to use the data standard GTFS-RT (GTFS Realtime), an open data format for public transit data. We give an overview of the design of a physical GPS sensor device, its…
Electronic tickets (e-tickets) are electronic versions of paper tickets, which enable users to access intended services and improve services' efficiency. However, privacy may be a concern of e-ticket users. In this paper, a…
In recent years, satellite communication (SatCom) systems have been widely used for navigation, broadcasting application, disaster recovery, weather sensing, and even spying on the Earth. As the number of satellites is highly increasing and…
An important aspect of public bus transit is its reliability of being on-time, which has a major impact on bus ridership. Currently, there is no unified national standard to measure bus on-time performance in the United States. This paper…
This work, for the first time, considers confidential data collection in the context of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless networks, where the scheduled ground sensor node (SN) intends to transmit confidential information to the UAV…
A smart grid is an advanced method for supplying electricity to the consumers alleviating the limitations of the existing system. It causes frequent meter reading transmission from the end-user to the supplier. This frequent data…
Crowdsourced vehicle-based observations have the potential to improve forecast skill in convection-permitting numerical weather prediction (NWP). The aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics of vehicle-based observations of air…
In this research paper, an efficient routing protocol for all optical network (AOL) is proposed. The technique uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). The proposed one is different from the conventional AOL protocol in transmission of…
Observation Resilient Authentication Schemes (ORAS) are a class of shared secret challenge-response identification schemes where a user mentally computes the response via a cognitive function to authenticate herself such that eavesdroppers…
