In the context of sixth-generation (6G) networks, emergency management systems (EMSs) based on wireless communications have recently gained increasing interest. Hereby, fundamentals and open problems of post-disaster communications are…
Post-disaster crew dispatch is a critical but computationally intensive task. Traditional mixed-integer linear programming methods often require minutes to several hours to compute solutions, leading to delays that hinder timely…
High renewable penetration has been witnessed in power systems, resulting in reduced system inertia and increasing requirements for frequency response services. Electric vehicles (EVs), owing to their vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, can…
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to enhance driving safety, for example by enabling safe vehicle following and more efficient traffic scheduling. For such future deployments, safety requirements should be…
The frequency of extreme events (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods) and man-made attacks (cyber and physical attacks) has increased dramatically in recent years. These events have severely impacted power systems ranging from long…
Mobile power sources (MPSs) have been gradually deployed in microgrids as critical resources to coordinate with repair crews (RCs) towards resilience enhancement owing to their flexibility and mobility in handling the complex coupled…
Natural disasters such as storms usually bring significant damages to distribution grids. This paper investigates the optimal routing of utility vehicles to restore outages in the distribution grid as fast as possible after a storm. First,…
Integrating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) provides an effective solution for persistent surveillance in disaster management. UAVs excel at covering large areas rapidly, but their range is limited by…
