Abstract: A multiple-attributes, classifiers-based, broadcast scheme for use in vehicular ad-hoc networks may be employed to assess numerous attributes in order to accurately and effectively determine an appropriate rebroadcast decision for a message received by a vehicle. Various schemes may be employed, comprising one classifier module, or a plurality of classifier modules used in parallel and in accordance with a combination rule function, to effectively examine the attributes contained within a received message and select an appropriate rebroadcast decision, thereby increasing the performance of the vehicular ad-hoc network as a whole. The performance of the broadcast scheme may further be analyzed in a simulation, whereby certain values, such as probability values to be used in the broadcast scheme, may be determined.

Abstract: An energy warehouse comprising a plurality of energy storage units and switches, and connected to at least one microgrid and at least one bulk power system may be used in connection with an energy management system for the effectuation of power storage and power wheeling. Pursuant to a plurality of inputs transmitted from the energy storage units, microgrid(s), and bulk power system(s) to the energy management system, economical and sustainable power management between the energy warehouse, microgrid(s), and bulk power system(s) may be governed according to applicable operating scenarios as determined by an optimization procedure performed by said energy management system.
