RFID Technology in Intelligent Tracking Systems in Construction Waste Logistics Using Optimisation Techniques

Construction waste disposal is an urgent issue for protecting our environment. This paper proposes a waste management system and illustrates the work process using plasterboard waste as an example, which creates a hazardous gas when land filled with household waste, and for which the recycling rate is less than 10% in the UK. The proposed system integrates RFID technology, Rule-Based Reasoning, Ant Colony optimization and knowledge technology for auditing and tracking plasterboard waste, guiding the operation staff, arranging vehicles, schedule planning, and also provides evidence to verify its disposal. It h relies on RFID equipment for collecting logistical data and uses digital imaging equipment to give further evidence; the reasoning core in the third layer is responsible for generating schedules and route plans and guidance, and the last layer delivers the result to inform users. The paper firstly introduces the current plasterboard disposal situation and addresses the logistical problem that is now the main barrier to a higher recycling rate, followed by discussion of the proposed system in terms of both system level structure and process structure. And finally, an example scenario will be given to illustrate the system’s utilization

NTRU Implementation of Efficient Privacy-Preserving Location-Based Querying in VANET

The key for location-based service popularization in vehicular environment is security and efficiency. However, due to the constrained resources in vehicle-mounted system and the distributed structure of fog computation, disposing of the conflicts between real-time implementation and user’s privacy remains an open problem. Aiming at synchronously preserving the position information for users as well as the data proprietorship of service provider, an efficient location-based querying scheme is proposed in this paper. We argue that a recent scheme proposed by Jannati and Bahrak is time-consuming and vulnerable against active adaptive corruptions. Thus accordingly, a postquantum secure oblivious transfer protocol is devised based on efficient NTRU cryptosystem, which then serves as the understructure of a complete location-based querying scheme in ad hoc manner. The security of our scheme is proved under universal composability frame, while performance analysis is also carried out to testify its efficiency
