Cellular Energy Architecture to Secure Resilient Energy Supply for Critical Infrastructure2025-01-051611/25/2025
The introduction of renewable energy systems offers the opportunity to achieve energy self-sufficiency or autarky in addition to contributing towards carbon neutrality by reducing the dependency on energy logistics. Amidst growing geo-political conflicts and natural calamities, the scenario of energy shortage or disruption of energy logistics is a major threat, especially for Europe due to the significant reliance on import of primary energy. Achieving autarky, however, requires a distinction between energy consumers that need uninterrupted energy supply and consumers that could potentially be cut-off during energy shortages to avoid prohibitive costs resulting from oversizing the system. Critical infrastructure such as hospitals, communication systems, emergency services and key mobility nodes like fuelling stations and charging points needed to sustain the services provided by them, always need continuous energy supply. The architecture in current tools for optimising the design and

Research on Urban Traffic Congestion Optimisation Strategies Based on V2X Technology2025-99-011711/11/2025
This study investigates urban traffic congestion optimisation strategies based on V2X technology. V2X technology (Vehicles and Internet of Everything) aims to alleviate urban traffic congestion, improve access efficiency, and reduce tailpipe emissions through real-time collection and fusion of traffic data to optimise traffic signal control and path planning. The efficacy of the optimisation strategies under different V2X penetration rates is evaluated by conducting multi-factor orthogonal experiments in different typical congestion scenarios. The experimental results show that the V2X-based signal optimisation, path induction, and event response combination strategies exhibit significant optimisation effects in all three scenarios: node bottleneck, corridor congestion, and event induction. Under the condition of 100% penetration, the combined strategy reduces delay by 41.9% in the node bottleneck scenario, improves accessibility by 28.1% in the corridor congestion scenario, and

Analysis of Simulators for Designing Network Architecture in Wireless Sensor Network Applications2025-28-033811/06/2025
Recent advancements in energy efficient wireless communication protocols and low powered digital sensor technologies have led to the development of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications in diverse industries. These WSNs are generally designed using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee and Wi-Fi communication protocol depending on the range and reliability requirements of the application. Designing these WSN applications also depends on the following factors. First, the environment under which devices operate varies with the industries and products they are employed in. Second, the energy availability for these devices is limited so higher signal strength for transmission and retransmission reduces the lifetime of these nodes significantly and finally, the size of networks is increasing hence scheduling and routing of messages becomes critical as well. These factors make simulation for these applications essential for evaluating the performance of WSNs before physical deployment of

The Digital Backbone of Manufacturing: A Framework for Network Protocol Selection2025-28-024511/06/2025
Manufacturers need pragmatic guidance when choosing network protocols that must balance responsiveness, high data throughput, and long-term maintainability. This paper presents a step-by-step, criteria-driven framework that scores protocols on six practical dimensions, real-time behavior, bandwidth, interoperability, security, IIoT readiness, and legacy support and demonstrates the approach on both greenfield and brownfield scenarios. By combining vendor specifications, peer-reviewed studies, and field experience, the framework delivers transparent, weighted rankings designed to help engineers make defensible deployment choices. This paper explores how network protocols can be mapped to different layers of the automation pyramid, ranging from field-level communication to enterprise-level. For example, Profinet is shown to be highly effective for time-critical applications such as robotic assembly and motion control due to its deterministic, real-time ethernet capabilities. Meanwhile

Road Simulation Techniques for Reproducing Off-Road Vehicle Behavior2025-32-003111/03/2025
A road simulator reproduction method was developed to reproduce the off-road conditions of utility vehicles in a laboratory setting. Off-road running behavior can be reproduced by considering the effects of inertial forces from jump landings owing to uneven terrain and slow-speed navigation. However, extremely low-frequency components and behaviors, including inertial forces from jumps, vehicle acceleration and deceleration, are difficult to reproduce with a normal road simulator in the limited test space of a laboratory. Therefore, it is common practice to intentionally remove input components below 1 Hz. Alternatively, inertial forces can be reproduced by adding a restraining device to the sprung mass of the vehicle along the wheel-axle inputs. Therefore, the former method excludes extremely low-frequency components, whereas the effects between actuators, which increase the test complexity and time required, should be canceled in the latter method. Furthermore, the restraining device
