• Abstract: For a new city that is committed to promoting Electric Vehicles (EVs), it is significant to plan the public charging infrastructure where charging demands are high. However, it is difficult to predict charging demands before the actual deployment of EV chargers for lack of operational data, resulting in a deadlock. A direct idea is to leverage the urban transfer learning paradigm to learn the knowledge from a source city, then exploit it to predict charging demands, and meanwhile determine locations and amounts of slow/fast chargers for charging stations in the target city. However, the demand prediction and charger planning depend on each other, and it is required to re-train the prediction model to eliminate the negative transfer between cities for each varied charger plan, leading to the unacceptable time complexity. To this end, we propose the concept and an effective solution of Simultaneous Demand Prediction And Planning (SPAP): discriminative features are extracted from multi-source data, and fed into an Attention-based Spatial-Temporal City Domain Adaptation Network (AST-CDAN) for cross-city demand prediction; a novel Transfer Iterative Optimization (TIO) algorithm is designed for charger planning by iteratively utilizing AST-CDAN and a charger plan fine-tuning algorithm. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets collected from three cities in China validate the effectiveness and efficiency of SPAP. Specially, SPAP improves at most 72.5% revenue compared with the real-world charger deployment.

  Long-term urban mobility predictions play a crucial role in the effective management of urban facilities and services.

In our research, we introduce a fresh perspective on urban mobility prediction. Instead of oversimplifying urban mobility data as traditional video data, we regard it as a complex time series.

  A self-driving vehicle (SDV) must be able to perceive its surroundings and predict the future behavior of other traffic participants. Existing works either perform object detection followed by trajectory of the detected objects, or predict dense occupancy and flow grids for the whole scene. This motivates our unified approach to perception and future prediction that implicitly represents occupancy and flow over time with a single neural network.

  To meet the ever increasing mobile traffic demand in 5G era, base stations (BSs) have been densely deployed in radio access networks (RANs) to increase the network coverage and capacity. As the high density of BSs is designed to accommodate peak traffic, it would consume an unnecessarily large amount of energy if BSs are on during off-peak time. To save the energy consumption of cellular networks, an effective way is to deactivate some idle base stations that do not serve any traffic demand. In this paper, we develop a traffic-aware dynamic BS sleep control framework, named DeepBSC
