Geospatial digital monitoring of COVID-19 cases at high spatiotemporal resolution

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder

SARS-CoV-2 spreads via close contact during daily activities, forming clusters of cases mainly in households and workplaces. A crucial challenge to contain the spread lies in the early detection of these outbreak clusters, and the localisation and isolatio ...

Quantification of the conditional value of SHM data for the fatigue safety evaluation of a road viaduct

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

Fatigue safety verification of existing bridges that uses ‘‘re-calculation’’ based on codes, usually results in insufficient fatigue safety, triggering invasive interventions. Instead of “re-calculation”, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) should be used f ...

Consistent Tomography over Diffusion Networks under the Low-Observability Regime

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

This work considers a diffusion network responding to streaming data, and studies the problem of identifying the topology of a subnetwork of observable agents by tracking their output measurements. Topology inference from indirect and/or incomplete dataset ...

Enhancing model-based feedback perimeter control with data-driven online adaptive optimization

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh

Most feedback perimeter control approaches that are based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and are tested in detailed network structures restrict inflow from the external boundary of the network. Although such a measure is beneficial for the ne ...

Price-based Controller for Utility-aware HTTP Adaptive Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Stefano D'Aronco

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) permits to efficiently deliver video to multiple heterogenous users in a fully distributed way. This might however lead to unfair bandwidth utilization among HAS users. Therefore, network-assisted HAS systems have been propose ...
