Today, travel information services are predominantly provided by Global Distribution Systems (GDS), which provide access to real time availability and price information for flights, hotels and car rental companies. However GDSs have legacy architectures with private networks, specialized hardware, and limited speed and search capabilities. Furthermore it is difficult to interoperate them with other systems and data sources. For these reasons, Web service technology is an ideal fit for travel information systems. However to be able to exploit Web services to their full potential, it is necessary to introduce semantics. Without describing the semantics of Web services we are looking for, it is difficult to find them in an automated way. If we cannot describe the service we have, the probability that people will find it in an automated way is low. In this paper, we describe how to deploy semantically enriched travel Web services and how to exploit semantics through Web service registries. We also address the need to use the semantics in discovering both Web services and Web service registries through peer-to-peer technology. This work is being developed within the scope of the IST-1-002104-STP SATINE Project.

Measurement-based replanning of GSM cell capacities considering retrials, redials and hand-offs
Onur, Ertan; Ersoy, C; Caglayan, MU (2002-01-01)
During the optimization of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, the operations and maintenance center (OMC) measurements are of significant importance. Because of false predictions, the capacity planning of a cell may be done inaccurately. If the capacity of the cell is not adequate to handle all of the busy-hour requests, the requests are not granted a channel and users are blocked. Thus, when the blocking ratio is high, the cellular capacity should be replanned. However, the capacity p...
Telegram scheduling for the periodic phase of the multifunction vehicle bus
Güldiken, Mustafa Çağlar; Schmidt, Klaus Werner.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
Train communication network comprises different standards such as the Wire Train Bus (WTB) for the data exchange among different vehicles and the Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) for the data communication within vehicles. Specifically, MVB is a highly robust real-time field bus specifically designed for control systems built into rail-vehicles. MVB supports both periodic process data and sporadic message data transfers in the form of telegrams. In order to achieve timely and efficient data exchange on MVB, ...
Deriving public transit (PT) reliability measures using smart card data: 2 case study PT lines from Konya city
Sarıyüz, Fatih; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2020-9)
In Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications for Public Transit (PT), it is almost customary to monitor and collect bus trajectory data in addition to smart card systems, which includes geocoded information on ticketing. These datasets enable system managers to derive PT reliability and Level-of-Service (LOS) measures, such as average travel time, dwell time, etc, at a PT line level. However, it is also necessary to derive such measures spatio-temporally to get PT characteristics in metropolitan...
Air passenger demand forecasting for planned airports, case study : Zafer and Or-gi airports in Turkey
Yazıcı, Rıza Onur; Acar, Soner Osman; Gökdalay, Meriç; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
The economic evaluation of a new airport investment requires the use of estimated future air passenger demand.Today it is well known that air passenger demand is basicly dependent on various socioeconomic factors of the country and the region where the planned airport would serve. This study is focused on estimating the future air passenger demand for planned airports in Turkey where the historical air passsenger data is not available.For these purposses, neural networks and multi-linear regression were use...
Modelling and analysis of vertical handover in highly mobile environments
Kirsal, Yonal; Ever, Enver; Koçyiğit, Altan; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Mapp, Glenford (2015-12-01)
Various types of wireless networks have been developed and deployed including 3G, WLAN, WiMAX, LTE and LTE Advanced. User connectivity and network performance can be improved using vertical handover techniques which involve switching between available networks in heterogeneous environments. In this respect, recently there has been an increased interest in the integration of cellular and WLAN systems. In this study, the integrated heterogeneous wireless systems are modelled using two-stage open queuing syste...
