Efficient Routing Decisions for Electric Vehicles in a Congested Network

The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (E-VRP) is an extension of the infamous Vehicle Routing Problem which asks which routing decisions an electric vehicle needs to take in order to traverse the network efficiently. Many extensions of this problem have been subject to research in the last decade and now that electric vehicles are starting to pop...

Improving the Anonymity of the Lightning Network using Sub-Optimal Routes

The Lightning Network is a second layer payment protocol built on top of Bitcoin, which is scalable and has reduced transaction fees. It does so by eliminating the need to broadcast every transaction to the whole network. When one user wants to send a payment to another, the routing protocol generates a path between them that is always fast and...

Coordinate Routing in the Lightning Network

Blockchains such as the Bitcoin facilitate the online transaction between users without an intermediate financial institution and can serve as a global currency. However, at the moment, blockchain solutions are suffering from low transaction throughput and high delays. For instance, the bitcoin network processes at most 7 transactions per second...

A study of demand oblivious routing algorithms

Nowadays, people make use of communication networks (e.g. Internet) everyday and expect high quality from the offered services. Providing a good quality of service and optimizing the utilization of the network resources are the main objectives in designing a routing. It has always been believed that traffic demands play an important role in this...

Dynamic Intelligent Algorithm for Navigation (DIANa): A Route Finding System using Historical Traffic Data

Traffic congestion has been one of the major problems in our everyday life. It has caused billions and billions of dollars including loss of productivity in our everyday life. Many institutions, governmental organizations, and academics have tried to come up with many initiatives and solutions to minimize congestion. Our research on dynamic...
