Vehicle Speed Reduction Based on Authorized Speed Limits
Abstract Keeping vehicle speed under control according to the speed limit is considered the main key to the traffic departments in the world to reduce vehicle accidents. This paper presents a prototype of a novel idea to control vehicle speed automatically according to the types of roads that the vehicle passes through without human ...

Speed reductions, inequalities, and transport [PDF]
Editor,—We read the editorials in the BMJ and Injury Prevention about speed limits with interest1, 2 and would like to share some of the Scottish experience on speed reduction. Councils throughout Scotland are conducting trials of advisory 20 mph limits as part of a Scottish Executive initiative. In Lothian these are generally in residential areas and

Speeding Multicast by Acknowledgment Reduction Technique (SMART) [PDF]
We present a novel feedback protocol for wireless broadcast networks that utilize linear network coding. We consider transmission of packets from one source to many receivers over a single-hop broadcast erasure channel. Our method utilizes a predictive model to request feedback only when the probability that all receivers have completed decoding is ...
