Activity-travel behavior modeling of pilgrims in mass religious gatherings
The number of participants in mass gatherings like Kumbh Mela is ever increasing. Simulations for pre-event crowd modeling, risk assessment, and control planning can help set up robust crowd management and control mechanisms. ...
Minimizing latency in data acquisition, distributed processing, storage and retrieval
Achieving low latency is of utmost importance in applications demanding real-time sensing
and control as in cyber-physical systems. In this thesis, we explore three different facets of
ensuring low latency in such systems. ...
On the Optimality of Generative Adversarial Networks — A Variational Perspective
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a popular learning framework to model the underlying distribution of images. GANs comprise a min-max game between the generator and the discriminator. While the generator transforms ...
Design and Analysis of Random Access Protocols for Massive Machine-Type Communications
Massive machine-type communications (mMTC) is a 5G and beyond use case, where the network is expected to serve millions of devices per square kilometre. Typical mMTC devices include smart energy meters, pressure sensors, ...
Study of Human Safety-centric Strategies for Human-Robot Coexistence
With the increasing integration of robots into various domains and their coexistence with humans, ensuring human safety has become a critical concern. This thesis highlights the challenges associated with human safety in ...
