Using a random mobility model, this paper derives the probability equation of the relative distance (RDIS) between any two mobile hosts in an ad-hoc network. Consequently, combining with average equivalent hop distance (AEHD), a host can estimate the routing hops between itself and any destination host each time the RD/RR procedure is triggered, and reduce the flooding area of RD/RR messages. Simulation results show that this optimized route repair (ORR) algorithm can significantly decrease the communication overhead of RR process by about 35%.展开更多

As final results, are expected to promote cost savings to the public coffers, as well as environmental benefits. The developed mathematical model is formulated as a problem of linear programming with mixed-integer variables and transcribed into software GAMS (general algebraic modeling system). The practical application was tested using data collected in the central region of a Brazilian city with approximately 90,000 inhabitants. The deterministic model used allowed an optimal solution. It was found after inclusion of restrictions that eliminated the appearance of sub-routes. It was concluded that the optimal routes allow for a 38% reduction in total distance traveled, which can generate savings of $320.00 per day regarding maintenance and fuel trucks.展开更多

Within this realm, the network imposes stringentQuality of Service (QoS) requirements, revealing the inadequacies of traditional routing allocation mechanismsin accommodating such extensive data flows. In response to the imperative of handling a substantial influx of datarequests promptly and alleviating the constraints of existing technologies and network congestion, we present anarchitecture forQoS routing optimizationwith in SoftwareDefinedNetwork (SDN), leveraging deep reinforcementlearning. This innovative approach entails the separation of SDN control and transmission functionalities, centralizingcontrol over data forwardingwhile integrating deep reinforcement learning for informed routing decisions. Byfactoring in considerations such as delay, bandwidth, jitter rate, and packet loss rate, we design a reward function toguide theDeepDeterministic PolicyGradient (DDPG) algorithmin learning the optimal routing strategy to furnishsuperior QoS provision. In our empirical investigations, we juxtapose the performance of Deep ReinforcementLearning (DRL) against that of Shortest Path (SP) algorithms in terms of data packet transmission delay. Theexperimental simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has significant efficacy in reducing networkdelay and improving the overall transmission efficiency, which is superior to the traditional methods.展开更多

摘要In the NEtwork MObility(NEMO)environment,mobile networks can form a nested structure.In nested mobile networks that use the NEMO Basic Support(NBS)protocol,pinball routing problems occur because packets are routed to all the home agents of the mobile routers using nested tunneling.In addition,the nodes in the same mobile networks can communicate with each other regardless of Internet connectivity.However,the nodes in some mobile networks that are based on NBS cannot communicate when the network is disconnected from the Internet.In this paper,we propose a route optimization scheme to solve these problems.We introduce a new IPv6 routing header named"destination-information header"(DH),which uses DH instead of routing header type 2 to optimize the route in the nested mobile network.The proposed scheme shows at least 30%better performance than ROTIO and similar performance improvement as DBU in inter-route optimization.With respect to intra-route optimization,the proposed scheme always uses the optimal routing path.In addition,the handover mechanism in ROAD+outperforms existing schemes and is less sensitive to network size than other existing schemes.

摘要Air route network optimization,one of the essential parts of the airspace planning,is an effective way to optimize airspace resources,increase airspace capacity,and alleviate air traffic congestion.However,little has been done on the optimization of air route network in the fragmented airspace caused by prohibited,restricted,and dangerous areas(PRDs).In this paper,an air route network optimization model is developed with the total operational cost as the objective function while airspace restriction,air route network capacity,and non-straight-line factors(NSLF) are taken as major constraints.A square grid cellular space,Moore neighbors,a fixed boundary,together with a set of rules for solving the route network optimization model are designed based on cellular automata.The empirical traffic of airports with the largest traffic volume in each of the 9 flight information regions in China's Mainland is collected as the origin-destination(OD) airport pair demands.Based on traffic patterns,the model generates 35 air routes which successfully avoids 144 PRDs.Compared with the current air route network structure,the number of nodes decreases by 41.67%,while the total length of flight segments and air routes drop by 32.03% and 5.82% respectively.The NSLF decreases by 5.82% with changes in the total length of the air route network.More importantly,the total operational cost of the whole network decreases by 6.22%.The computational results show the potential benefits of the model and the advantage of the algorithm.Optimization of air route network can significantly reduce operational cost while ensuring operation safety.
摘要The rapid transformation of Arctic maritime routes,driven by diminishing sea ice and shifting geopolitical conditions,presents both opportunities and challenges for global shipping.This study develops an integrated optimization framework for sustainable Arctic marine logistics,grounded in Agile Supply Chain Theory(ASCT),to address cost efficiency,environmental sustainability,and operational robustness under climate and policy uncertainty.A Mixed‐Integer Linear Programming(MILP)model was employed to optimize vessel routing across Arctic corridors,incorporating Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator(EEOI)and Carbon Intensity Indicator(CII)metrics directly into the objective function.Scenario analyses tested performance under varying climate conditions and policy constraints.The model was parameterized using vessel operational data from Arctic shipping logs,environmental datasets from ESA CryoSat‐2 and NSIDC,port accessibility records from Arctic port authorities,and economic data from Clarksons and the World Bank,ensuring realistic and replicable inputs for the analysis.Results demonstrate that ASCT‐based optimized routes achieved an average 14.8%reduction in operating costs,12.3%reduction in CO₂emissions,and an 11.6%improvement in EEOI,with the majority of voyages improving by at least one CII grade.Robustness analysis showed that optimized routes maintained up to 14.7 percentage points higher feasibility under severe ice scenarios and reduced cost volatility by 20–28%under carbon tax regimes.These findings confirm the value of embedding agility and resilience principles into Arctic shipping,aligning operational efficiency with International Maritime Organization(IMO)decarbonization objectives.The study extends ASCT into extreme maritime contexts,offering a replicable model for sustainable route planning in high‐risk logistics sectors.

摘要The transfer system,an important subsystem in urban citizen passenger transport system,is a guarantee of public transport priority and is crucial in the whole urban passenger transport traffic.What the majority of bus passengers consider is the convenience and comfort of the bus ride,which reduces the transfer time of bus passengers."Transfer time" is considered to be the first factor by the majority of bus passengers who select the routes.In this paper,according to the needs of passengers,optimization algorithm,with the minimal distance being the first goal,namely,the improved Dijkstra algorithm based on the minimal distance,is put forward on the basis of the optimization algorithm with the minimal transfer time being the first goal.
摘要A main shortcoming of mobile Ad-hoc network's reactive routing protocols is the large volume of far-reaching control traffic required to support the route discovery (RD) and route repair (RR) mechanism. Using a random mobility model, this paper derives the probability equation of the relative distance (RDIS) between any two mobile hosts in an ad-hoc network. Consequently, combining with average equivalent hop distance (AEHD), a host can estimate the routing hops between itself and any destination host each time the RD/RR procedure is triggered, and reduce the flooding area of RD/RR messages. Simulation results show that this optimized route repair (ORR) algorithm can significantly decrease the communication overhead of RR process by about 35%.
摘要This paper presents an optimization model for solving the planning problem of collection and transportation of solid waste in medium-sized cities. As final results, are expected to promote cost savings to the public coffers, as well as environmental benefits. The developed mathematical model is formulated as a problem of linear programming with mixed-integer variables and transcribed into software GAMS (general algebraic modeling system). The practical application was tested using data collected in the central region of a Brazilian city with approximately 90,000 inhabitants. The deterministic model used allowed an optimal solution. It was found after inclusion of restrictions that eliminated the appearance of sub-routes. It was concluded that the optimal routes allow for a 38% reduction in total distance traveled, which can generate savings of $320.00 per day regarding maintenance and fuel trucks.

摘要Air route network(ARN)planning is an efficient way to alleviate civil aviation flight delays caused by increasing development and pressure for safe operation.Here,the ARN shortest path was taken as the objective function,and an air route network node(ARNN)optimization model was developed to circumvent the restrictions imposed by″three areas″,also known as prohibited areas,restricted areas,and dangerous areas(PRDs),by creating agrid environment.And finally the objective function was solved by means of an adaptive ant colony algorithm(AACA).The A593,A470,B221,and G204 air routes in the busy ZSHA flight information region,where the airspace includes areas with different levels of PRDs,were taken as an example.Based on current flight patterns,a layout optimization of the ARNN was computed using this model and algorithm and successfully avoided PRDs.The optimized result reduced the total length of routes by 2.14% and the total cost by 9.875%.

摘要By delving into low-carbon transportation research,we can address the imperative for the high-quality development of transportation services,while simultaneously advancing the realization of the dual-carbon objective.This study focuses on optimizing multimodal transport routes under varying carbon tax frameworks,taking into account the demand uncertainty that arises from unforeseen events such as abrupt restocking or seasonal fluctuations.We formulate a dual-objective 0-1 path optimization model under both a unified carbon tax mechanism and a piecewise progressive carbon tax scheme.The model aims to minimize total cost and carbon emissions in the face of stochastic demand.Utilizing Monte Carlo simulation and the laws of large numbers,we convert the model to maximize the expected value of the uncertain objective.An enhanced non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is then developed to solve this model,yielding solutions that more effectively meet our objectives.This algorithm is designed to expand the search space,mitigating the""premature convergence"issue and thereby generating superior individuals and solutions.Finally,we assess the applicability of our model and algorithm to transportation challenges within the context of the dual-carbon initiative through a numerical example.We also explore the influence of different carbon tax mechanisms on total cost and emissions,as well as their applicability and efficacy in the face of demand uncerainty.The findings indicate that companies can achieve emission reductions with minimal cost increases under dual-target cost scenarios,ideal for dual carbon transportation contexts.Moreover,carbon tax rates significantly impact emission control,with segmented progressive taxes proving more effective,especially in high-demand uncertainty.Decisionmakers should consider technological capabilities to set optimal tax rates and thresholds,fostering corporate enthusiasm.This research informs policy and decision-making for authorities and firms.

摘要Next-GenerationNetworks(NGNs)demand high resilience,dynamic adaptability,and efficient resource utilization to enable ubiquitous connectivity.In this context,the Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network(SAGIN)architecture is uniquely positioned to meet these requirements.However,conventional NGN routing algorithms often fail to account for SAGIN’s intrinsic characteristics,such as its heterogeneous structure,dynamic topology,and constrained resources,leading to suboptimal performance under disruptions such as node failures or cyberattacks.To meet these demands for SAGIN,this study proposes a resilience-oriented routing optimization framework featuring dynamic weighting and multi-objective evaluation.Methodologically,we define three core routing performance metrics,quantified through a four-dimensionalmodel,encompassing robustness Rd,resilience Rr,adaptability Ra,and resource utilization efficiency Ru,and integrate them into a comprehensive evaluation metric.In simulated SAGIN environments,the proposed Multi-Indicator Weighted Resilience Evaluation Algorithm(MIW-REA)demonstrates significant improvements in resilience enhancement,recovery acceleration,and resource optimization.It maintains 82.3%service availability even with a 30%node failure rate,reduces Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attack recovery time by 43%,decreases bandwidth waste by 23.4%,and lowers energy consumption by 18.9%.By addressing challenges unique to the SAGIN network,this research provides a flexible real-time solution for NGN routing optimization that balances resilience,efficiency,and adaptability,advancing the field.
摘要Plateau specialty agricultural products are constrained by long transport distances,unstable temperature control,weak rural logistics infrastructure,and fragmented smallholder production.This paper reframes cold chain logistics under the company-farmer order model as an integrated problem of route optimization,temperature-risk control,and contract coordination.Based on a literature review and a case-based scenario reconstructed from a plateau agricultural supply chain,the study proposes a compact optimization framework that incorporates transport cost,delivery time,vehicle capacity,cold-chain loss,weather and road risk,and allowable temperature fluctuation.The scenario comparison indicates that optimized routing and digital temperature monitoring may reduce transport cost from 5,000 to 4,000 RMB per ton,shorten delivery time from 48 to 36 hours,reduce temperature-related loss from 10%to 5%,increase transport efficiency from 80%to 95%,and lower risk frequency from 15%to 8%.The results suggest that cold chain upgrading in plateau areas should not be treated as a purely technical routing problem.It requires coordinated investment in refrigerated infrastructure,information sharing between firms and farmers,incentive-compatible order contracts,and public support for rural logistics platforms.The paper contributes a policy-oriented analytical framework for improving agricultural supplychain resilience in geographically disadvantaged plateau regions.

摘要To enhance the efficiency and expediency of issuing e-licenses within the power sector, we must confront thechallenge of managing the surging demand for data traffic. Within this realm, the network imposes stringentQuality of Service (QoS) requirements, revealing the inadequacies of traditional routing allocation mechanismsin accommodating such extensive data flows. In response to the imperative of handling a substantial influx of datarequests promptly and alleviating the constraints of existing technologies and network congestion, we present anarchitecture forQoS routing optimizationwith in SoftwareDefinedNetwork (SDN), leveraging deep reinforcementlearning. This innovative approach entails the separation of SDN control and transmission functionalities, centralizingcontrol over data forwardingwhile integrating deep reinforcement learning for informed routing decisions. Byfactoring in considerations such as delay, bandwidth, jitter rate, and packet loss rate, we design a reward function toguide theDeepDeterministic PolicyGradient (DDPG) algorithmin learning the optimal routing strategy to furnishsuperior QoS provision. In our empirical investigations, we juxtapose the performance of Deep ReinforcementLearning (DRL) against that of Shortest Path (SP) algorithms in terms of data packet transmission delay. Theexperimental simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has significant efficacy in reducing networkdelay and improving the overall transmission efficiency, which is superior to the traditional methods.

摘要In power communication networks,it is a challenge to decrease the risk of different services efficiently to improve operation reliability.One of the important factor in reflecting communication risk is service route distribution.However,existing routing algorithms do not take into account the degree of importance of services,thereby leading to load unbalancing and increasing the risks of services and networks.A routing optimization mechanism based on load balancing for power communication networks is proposed to address the abovementioned problems.First,the mechanism constructs an evaluation model to evaluate the service and network risk degree using combination of devices,service load,and service characteristics.Second,service weights are determined with modified relative entropy TOPSIS method,and a balanced service routing determination algorithm is proposed.Results of simulations on practical network topology show that the mechanism can optimize the network risk degree and load balancing degree efficiently.
摘要This paper proposes a route optimization method to improve the performance of route selection in Vehicle Ad-hoc Network(VANET).A novel bionic swarm intelligence algorithm,which is called ant colony algorithm,was introduced into a traditional ad-hoc route algorithm named AODV.Based on the analysis of movement characteristics of vehicles and according to the spatial relationship between the vehicles and the roadside units,the parameters in ant colony system were modified to enhance the performance of the route selection probability rules.When the vehicle moves into the range of several different roadsides,it could build the route by sending some route testing packets as ants,so that the route table can be built by the reply information of test ants,and then the node can establish the optimization path to send the application packets.The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the traditional AODV algorithm,especially when the vehicle is in higher speed or the number of nodes increases.
