This paper evaluates the performance of a newly proposed B2C e-commerce model based on trust factors and requirements in the context of Saudi Arabia. Two categories of trust factors, namely, governmental and nongovernmental types, are identified to create the model for determining the feasibility of an efficient online business strategy in the Kingdom. Data are collected over a duration of 10 weeks based on the designed questionnaire, carefully analyzed, and interpreted. The standpoint of the end user is analyzed to determine the influence of the proposed trust requirements and factors on B2C e-commerce in Saudi Arabia. The reliability of the questionnaires for each requirement with their factors is quantitatively analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha. The questionnaire consists of three parts, namely, demographic component, questions related to the identified requirements, and additional notes as an open question. Questions are designed as per the requirements and the factors of trust models to demonstrate their possible relationship. Furthermore, the questionnaires’ content validity is judged by expert lecturers with relevant specialization before distributing them, which are well organized together with easy understandability. They are randomly distributed among 222 academic and administrative staff (female and male) in addition to university students from the Faculty of Computer Science and Information System in Saudi Arabia. This random selection performed on total 222 responders ensures the statistical accuracy of the sampling. Adaptable government approaches, enactment, rules, insurance of buyer rights, and banking network situation with less web expenses are demonstrated to be significant to e-commerce expansion in the Kingdom. Implementation of the proposed model is believed to augment consumer self-confidence and reliance together with e-commerce growth in Saudi Arabia.

The current state of ubiquitous computing has been greatly influenced by emerging networking developments like Internet of Things (IoT), Future Internet etc. Adequate trust management is crucial to provide security. The entities involved in communication must be trusted for specific purposes depending on their role. Using trust model, devices can run trust computations and guide their behaviors. To this effect, a method is needed to evaluate the level of trust between devices. Trust models investigated so far discusses that devices face problems when communicating as transforming trust relationships from real to virtual world requires the negotiation of trust based on the security properties of devices. However, these models are developed in limited devices. This paper proposes a distributed trust model for device-to-device communication in ubiquitous computing. Mathematical model based on fuzzy rules to establish trust is presented. Fuzzy simulation of the model is presented to validate the findings. Simulation results show that proposed model calculates fuzzy trust values reliably.

Trust plays an important role in the development and implementation of P2P e-commerce systems. This paper proposes a novel Trust Evaluating Model Based on Reputation with Multifactor. By introducing many comprehensive trust factors in computing trust level and improving the computing methods of the local reputation and global reputation, this model can not only accurately reflect the node’s trust level, but also reduce the time complexity in computing trust level. Experimental results show that the trust model can improve the rate of successful trading compared with the existing trust models, and can be effectively applied to the P2P e-commerce system.

A robust trust model based on group for P2P environments-RobustGroup is put forward, which measures trust values based on the group relationship between requesting peers and serving peers. Trust’s aging time and peers’ similarity are introduced with weights for direct trust and indirect trust being dynamically adjusted in trust calculation against critical issues affecting trust evaluation such as false feedback, incentive and penalty, Whitewashing behavior, dynamic trust. Simultaneously service control policies are implemented on the basis of groups, and peers’ initial trust is determined by behavior in “silent time”. The simulation shows that the proposed model has advantages in successful requests and system overhead over the existing P2P trust models.

Trust relationship between peers must to be established in P2P systems. But current trust models have some flaw in computing peer’s trust value, trust security and so on. This paper referred to the interpersonal social network, in which trust relationship between individuals are set up upon recommendations of other individuals, and proposed a recommendation trust model based on D-S evidence theory for P2P systems. The model deduces a peer’s local trust values from its transaction history, and then combines the peer’s local trust values by D-S combination rule and gets its global trust value finally. The experiment shows that, compared to the current trust model, the proposed model is more robust in security and more accurate in computing peer’s global trust value.

Abstract Easy-to-use tire models for vehicle dynamics have been persistently studied for such applications as control design and model-based on-line estimation. This paper proposes a modified combined-slip tire model based on Dugoff tire. The proposed model takes emphasis on less time consumption for calculation and uses a minimum set of parameters to express tire forces. Modification of Dugoff tire model is made on two aspects: one is taking different tire/road friction coefficients for different magnitudes of slip and the other is employing the concept of friction ellipse. The proposed model is evaluated by comparison with the LuGre tire model. Although there are some discrepancies between the two models, the proposed combined-slip model is generally acceptable due to its simplicity and easiness to use. Extracting parameters from the coefficients of a Magic Formula tire model based on measured tire data, the proposed model is further evaluated by conducting a double lane change maneuver, and simulation results show that the trajectory using the proposed tire model is closer to that using the Magic Formula tire model than Dugoff tire model.

Abstract In this paper, a new empirical path loss model based on frequency, distance, and volumetric occupancy rate is generated at the 3.5 and 4.2 GHz in the scope of 5G frequency bands. This study aims to determine the effect of the volumetric occupancy rate on path loss depending on the foliage density of the trees in the pine forest area. Using 4.2 GHz and the effect of the volumetric occupancy rate contributes to the literature in terms of novelty. Both the reference measurements to generate a model and verification measurements to verify the proposed models are conducted in three different regions of the forest area with double ridged horn antennas. These regions of the artificial forest area consist of regularly sorted and identical pine trees. Root mean square error (RMSE) and R-squared values are calculated to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. For 3.5 and 4.2 GHz, while the RMSEs are 3.983 and 3.883, the values of R-squared are 0.967 and 0.963, respectively. Additionally, the results are compared with four path loss models which are commonly used in the forest area. The proposed one has the best performance among the other models with values 3.98 and 3.88 dB for 3.5 and 4.2 GHz.

AbstractLane departure collisions have contributed to the traffic accidents that cause millions of injuries and tens of thousands of casualties per year worldwide. Due to vision-based lane departure warning limitation from environmental conditions that affecting system performance, a model-based vehicle dynamics framework is proposed for estimating the lane departure event by using vehicle dynamics responses. The model-based vehicle dynamics framework mainly consists of a mathematical representation of 9-degree of freedom system, which permitted to pitch, roll, and yaw as well as to move in lateral and longitudinal directions with each tire allowed to rotate on its axle axis. The proposed model-based vehicle dynamics framework is created with a ride model, Calspan tire model, handling model, slip angle, and longitudinal slip subsystems. The vehicle speed and steering wheel angle datasets are used as the input in vehicle dynamics simulation for predicting lane departure event. Among the simulated vehicle dynamic responses, the yaw acceleration response is observed to provide earlier insight in predicting the future lane departure event compared to other vehicle dynamics responses. The proposed model-based vehicle dynamics framework had shown the effectiveness in estimating lane departure using steering wheel angle and vehicle speed inputs.
