Enhancing Vehicle Location Prediction Accuracy with Road-Aware Rectification for Multi-Access Edge Computing Applications by Asif Mehmood, Afaq Muhammad, Faisal Mehmood, Wang-Cheol Song

“…Existing estimation techniques to forecast vehicle position aim to meet the real-time data needs but compromise accuracy due to a lack of context awareness. While algorithms such as the Kalman filter improve estimation accuracy by considering certainty-grading and current-state estimate of measurements, they do not include the road context, which is vital for more accurate predictions. …”

From Imbalance to Synergy: The Coupling Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Urban Ecological Resilience in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Xi Chen, Xuan Huang, Tonghui Yu, Yu Zhang, Xufeng Cui

“…The results show that (1) The CCD between DIF and UER in the YREB has increased annually from 2011 to 2020. However, there are persistent imbalances, with an overall low level of coordination and uneven spatial development, and a trend of “higher coordination in the east and lower coordination in the west”. (2) The overall CCD of the YREB has reached at least the primary coordination level, with the coupling enhancement speed ranked as “downstream > midstream > upstream”, and regional differences decreasing. (3) The decoupling analysis reveals a predominant decoupling trend between DIF and UER, indicating that the digitization of financial services has not concurrently increased ecological pressures. (4) The obstacle degree analysis identifies resilience and digitalization as major barriers hindering CCD. …”
