CAV driving safety monitoring and warning via V2X-based edge computing system

Driving safety and accident prevention are attracting increasing global interest.Current safety monitoring systems often face challenges such as limited spatiotemporal coverage and accuracy,leading to delays in alerting drivers about potential hazards.This study explores the use of edge computing for monitoring vehicle motion and issuing accident warnings,such as lane departures and vehicle collisions.Unlike traditional systems that depend on data from single vehicles,the cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system collects data directly from connected and automated vehicles(CAVs)via vehicle-to-everything communication.This approach facilitates a comprehensive assessment of each vehicle’s risk.We propose algorithms and specific data structures for evaluating accident risks associated with different CAVs.Furthermore,we examine the prerequisites for data accuracy and transmission delay to enhance the safety of CAV driving.The efficacy of this framework is validated through both simulated and real-world road tests,proving its utility in diverse driving conditions.

The crosstalk between ferroptosis and anti-tumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment:molecular mechanisms and therapeutic controversy

The advent of immunotherapy has significantly reshaped the landscape of cancer treatment,greatly enhancing therapeutic outcomes for multiple types of cancer.However,only a small subset of individuals respond to it,underscoring the urgent need for new methods to improve its response rate.Ferroptosis,a recently discovered form of programmed cell death,has emerged as a promising approach for anti-tumor therapy,with targeting ferroptosis to kill tumors seen as a potentially effective strategy.Numerous studies suggest that inducing ferroptosis can synergistically enhance the effects of immunotherapy,paving the way for a promising combined treatment method in the future.Nevertheless,recent research has raised concerns about the potential negative impacts on anti-tumor immunity as a consequence of inducing ferroptosis,leading to conflicting views within the scientific community about the interplay between ferroptosis and anti-tumor immunity,thereby underscoring the necessity of a comprehensive review of the existing literature on this relationship.Previous reviews on ferroptosis have touched on related content,many focusing primarily on the promoting role of ferroptosis on anti-tumor immunity while overlooking recent evidence on the inhibitory effects of ferroptosis on immunity.Others have concentrated solely on discussing related content either from the perspective of cancer cells and ferroptosis or from immune cells and ferroptosis.Given that both cancer cells and immune cells exist in the tumor microenvironment,a one-sided discussion cannot comprehensively summarize this topic.Therefore,from the perspectives of both tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells,we systematically summarize the current conflicting views on the interplay between ferroptosis and anti-tumor immunity,intending to provide potential explanations and identify the work needed to establish a translational basis for combined ferroptosis-targeted therapy and immunotherapy in treating tumors.

Mapping essential urban land use categories in China(EULUC-China):preliminary results for 2018

Land use reflects human activities on land.Urban land use is the highest level human alteration on Earth,and it is rapidly changing due to population increase and urbanization.Urban areas have widespread effects on local hydrology,climate,biodiversity,and food production[1,2].However,maps,that contain knowledge on the distribution,pattern and composition of various land use types in urban areas,are limited to city level.The mapping standard on data sources,methods,land use classification schemes varies from city to city,due to differences in financial input and skills of mapping personnel.To address various national and global environmental challenges caused by urbanization,it is important to have urban land uses at the national and global scales that are derived from the same or consistent data sources with the same or compatible classification systems and mapping methods.This is because,only with urban land use maps produced with similar criteria,consistent environmental policies can be made,and action efforts can be compared and assessed for large scale environmental administration.However,despite of the fact that a number of urban-extent maps exist at global scales[3,4],more detailed urban land use maps do not exist at the same scale.Even at big country or regional levels such as for the United States,China and European Union,consistent land use mapping efforts are rare[5,6](e.g.,https://sdi4apps.eu/open_land_use/).

Dynamic Parameters Cellular Automaton Model for Passengers in Subway

To simulate the passenger behavior in subway system, a Dynamic Parameters Cellular Automaton(DPCA) model is put forward in this paper. Pedestrian traffic flows during waiting, getting on or off, and traveling can be simulated. The typical scenario in Beijing Subway Line 13 is modeled to analyze the passenger behavior in subway system. By comparing simulation results with statistical ones, the correctness and practicality of the DPCA model are verified. At last, the additional results made by DPCA model can make contribution to passenger comfort analysis and pedestrian facility planning and guidance.

A Generalized Comfort Function of Subway Systems Based on a Nested Logit Model

With rapid urbanization,subway systems are widely acknowledged as one of the best solutions to urban transportation problems.The operators or managers of subway systems should pay more attention to passenger＇s perceptions of service quality to maintain its competitive position.Taking the traffic state,efficiency,and environmental impact into consideration,the concept of generalized comfort is proposed in this paper.Based on a nested logit model,the selection probability for each factor in a generalized comfort function can be estimated using a nested structure.A certain factor is considered to be more significant in a generalized comfort function than others,when the corresponding probability of this factor is higher in value.Using stated preference and revealed preference data about passenger travel behavior obtained from the Beijing subway,the parameters of generalized comfort function are estimated by maximum likelihood techniques.
