Heavy-duty vehicles or trucks contribute in a significant share with global green house emissions and energy consumption in transportation systems. Truck platoon coordination strategies have introduced new technologies for better coordination and management of those intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to account for environmental efficiency. C...
Estimating the gain of an antenna prototype is an important step during both design and validation phases. Nevertheless, many small technology companies and universities are not provided with adequate infrastructure to run this type of test. In this paper, we propose a computational tool to deal with undesirable contributions coming from non-ideal ...
Au sein de l'Idrrim, le groupe spécialisé EAPIC (Essais d'aptitude par intercomparaison) organise des essais d'aptitude par comparaison interlaboratoires dans le domaine routier. La série 8.2.17, réalisée en 2017-2018 sur le module des enrobés, a fourni des données en grand nombre sur de nombreux paramètres pouvant influer sur les résultats d'essai...
Since the development of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), many traffic control strategies and algorigthms have been developed to implement perimeter control over a specific urban region. In most cases, the typical assumption is to have a common average trip length for all vehicles traveling within the same region. However, the proper cali...
The characterization of sands detailed in this paper has been performed in order to support the in-flight radiometric performance assessment of space-borne optical sensors over the so-called Pseudo-Invariant Calibration Sites (PICS). Although the physical properties of PICS surface are fairly stable in time, the signal measured from space varies wi...

In the frame of the monitoring of Sentinel 2 MSI sensors in orbit, a method for inter-band calibration validation, using Antarctic site, has been developed and tested. The method relies on the directional hemispheric reflectance found in ASTER data base. In order to consider that the spectral shape of the directional directional reflectance is the ...

The calibration of trip lengths is an important challenge for multi-regional MFD-based applications, as it can influence the dynamics of regional densities (and speeds). Existing research has not paid significant attention in the topic, giving opportunities for answering some fundamental questions. In this paper, we propose an original methodology ...
Modern water distribution networks (WDNs) are complex and difficult to manage due to increased level of urbanization, varying consumer demands, ageing infrastructure, operational costs, and inadequate water resources. The management problems in such complex networks may be classified into short-term, medium-term, and long-term, depending on the dur...
