EERP: Energy-Efficient Relay Node Placement for k-Connected Wireless Sensor Networks Using Genetic Algorithm
In this article, we propose relay node placement for providing k-connectivity to randomly deployed sensor nodes with energy efficacy using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Here, we also explain the basic step of GA with suitable examples. Also, we carried out the extensive simulations to study proposed algorithm’s performance with existing one in terms of number of deployed nodes and lifetime of the network.
Using GPS and GIS technology, the next generation of ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) system, are designed in this paper. The structure and approaches of the system has also been presented. The next generation of ERP system has resolved the issues of traditional ERP system, such as, high cost, unavailable for wide range of application. And, The new system not only more consistent with road pricing principles and objectives of reducing traffic congestion and air pollution, but also more flexible for the integration of ERP system with other Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The paper also elaborated the key technical issues of the system.
