A 2m-Range 711uW Body Channel Communication Transceiver Featuring Dynamically-Sampling Bias-Free Interface Front End

Body Channel Communication (BCC) offers a low-loss signal transmission medium for ultra-low-power wearable devices on human body [1]. However, the effective communication range on human body is limited to less than 1m in the state-of-the-art BCC transceivers [2], where the signal loss at the interface of body surface and BCC receiver remains to...

Dynamic rolling horizon scheduling of waterborne AGVs for inter terminal transport

The demand for transport between terminals within port areas, known as inter terminal transport (ITT), is increasing. This paper proposes a dynamic rolling horizon scheduling strategy for ITT using waterborne Autonomous Guided Vessels (waterborne AGVs). The strategy is dynamic in that it can handle the dynamically arriving ITT requests and...

Unraveling the Hierarchy of Public Transport Networks

Hierarchy is regarded as a natural phenomenon of public transport networks (PTN). The imbalanced distribution of passenger flow result in a hierarchical structure of PTN and it is also related to the development of technology and the introduction of new modes. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on how to identify the hierarchical...
