Contextual adaptation of ASR can be very beneficial for multi-accent and often noisy Air-Traffic Control (ATC) speech. Our focus is call-sign recognition, which can be used to track conversations of ATC operators with individual airplanes. We developed a t ...
Modeling urban traffic on the level of network is a wide research area oriented to the development of ITS. In this thesis properties of models based on MFD (Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram) are studied. The idea behind MFD is to say that the state of the t ...
The paper describes the formulation and application of an Optimal Power Flow (OPF)-driven Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme in low-inertia power grids hosting large-scale battery energy storage systems. Thanks to the accurate prediction of the sy ...
This paper proposes an integrated methodological framework to design a spatially heterogeneous bus route network and time-dependent service headways to serve travel demand that varies over time and space. Travelers choose to use either the transit mode or ...
Pedestrians, like drivers, generally dislike congestion. This is true for most pedestrian environments: trains stations, airports, or shopping malls. Furthermore, pedestrian congestion also influences the attractiveness of public transportation networks. T ...
In this article, I discuss the process of designing an object to protest against a specific surveillance device: the IMSI catcher, a controversial object used to monitor GSM networks. Being widely used in protests, I develop a tactical approach based on ob ...
We present a novel method for isogeometric analysis (IGA) to directly work on geometries constructed by Boolean operations including difference (i.e., trimming), union, and intersection. Particularly, this work focuses on the union operation, which involve ...
