An optimization-based dynamic reordering heuristic for coordination of vehicles in mixed traffic intersections

In this article, we address a coordination problem for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in mixed traffic settings with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). The main objective is to have a safe and optimal crossing order for vehicles approaching unsignalized intersections. This problem results in a mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) formulation, which is unsuitable for real-time applications. Therefore, we propose a computationally tractable optimization-based heuristic that monitors ...

Assessing the impact of virtual workplaces on collaboration and learning

Introduction: The shift toward remote work and digitization has driven the widespread adoption of virtual collaboration tools. While these technologies offer opportunities for enhanced remote interaction, they also present challenges related to communication, security, and social dynamics. Understanding how different digital environments impact collaboration and learning is crucial as workplaces evolve. Methods: This study investigated the impact of four workplace environments—physical prese...

The SPADA methodology for threat modelling

As individuals engage with innovative technologies, including smart cars and smart homes, a comprehensive treatment of the threats to their privacy becomes increasingly urgent. This article recognises the relevance of security and, in particular, privacy threat modelling, especially under the umbrella of GDPR compliance, and addresses the challenge of the pursuit of completeness in eliciting security and privacy threats. The core contribution is SPADA, a methodology for threat modelling revol...
