This paper advocates for the digitization of transportation enterprises, focusing on the railway industry's need for integrated ticketing and asset management systems. It introduces Data Lake technology as a solution for centralized data management, enabling railway companies to enhance operational efficiency and improve decision-making processes. By integrating diverse data sources within the Data Lake framework, the paper demonstrates the potential for achieving holistic insights and predictive analytics to optimize railway operations. Practical implementation of Data Lake in the MOTIONAL project exemplifies its efficacy in real-world applications, underscoring its pivotal role in modernizing railway transportation and station management systems.

In the 5G era, the diversification of application scenarios and the expansion of service demands necessitate a paradigm shift in mobile communication development to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for a multitude of network services, thereby enhancing user experience and optimizing network resource management. To address this, we extend the traditional single-objective optimization model of Service Function Chains (SFC) to a multi-objective optimization model, incorporating considerations such as latency, deployment cost, and throughput. However, traditional evolutionary computation struggles to optimize multiple objectives simultaneously without considering initial population quality, while Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) faces challenges in determining weights between multiple objectives, requiring repeated training and optimization. In this paper, we propose a two-stage solution multi-objective evolutionary reinforcement learning (MOERL) to deploy SFC. In the first stage, DRL can effectively generate excellent initial population solutions, while in the second stage, using this solution as the initial solution for NSGA-ii can obtain the required placement solution and reduce computational time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MOERL significantly reduces computational time, with its efficacy increasing as the initial population size grows. Furthermore, MOERL exhibits superior performance across three objective functions under varying request numbers, outperforming DRL by 20.9% and NSGA-ii by 38.2% in computational time reduction. Thus, MOERL adeptly meets the rigorous resource and real-time demands within 5G network environments.

Phase change heat storage technology faces challenges such as slow heat transfer rates and uneven melting, limiting its performance. Introducing active rotation can effectively enhance the heat storage rate in phase change systems. This study presents a novel triplex-tube latent heat storage unit with a rotating middle tube and coupled V-fin to improve heat transfer efficiency through active rotation. The main goal is to investigate the effects of the rotating wall and structural parameters on system performance. The relationship between structural parameters and performance is fitted using the MEA-BP neural network, followed by optimization with the NSGA-ii algorithm. The results show that rotating the wall at 2 rps reduces melting time by 66.32 %, with a slight decrease in heat absorption by 3.72 %, indicating significant improvements in heat transfer efficiency and uneven heat distribution. Further analysis shows that increasing fin length from 20 mm to 32 mm reduces melting time by 30.86 %, and the optimal fin angle of 20 degrees achieves the shortest melting time of 24.8 min. A five-fin configuration results in the most uniform melting, while an 8 mm eccentricity reduces melting time by 5.86 % compared to the central model. Higher wall temperatures (367.15 K) improve melting efficiency. Multi- objective optimization determined the better fin parameters (length of 28.53 mm, angle of 15 degrees, and eccentricity of 9.33 mm), resulting in a 44.75 % reduction in melting time and a 2.29 % increase in heat absorption. This study provides new insights into the application and optimization of rotational mechanisms in phase change storage systems.

Building Energy Management (BEM) with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) poses significant challenges due to the intricate coordination required among components such as Power-to-Heat (P2H) converters, TES units, and zone temperature controllers. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) method for BEM, capable of optimizing the energy efficiency and flexibility of Building Energy systems (BESs) integrated with TES without requiring manual efforts to set up a control-oriented model. Our method-distributed optimized NNPC via DRL-consists of two parts: i) a Neural network Predictive control (NNPC) for zone temperature regulation, leveraging an attention-based artificial neural network for forecasting operational conditions and a Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm to jointly optimize both comfort levels and energy efficiency;and ii) a distributed optimization strategy realized through a coordinating policy that facilitates the collaboration between conventional on/off and NNPC agents/controllers. The efficacy of our method is confirmed through simulations established based on a real-world BES that integrates a TES unit. We compare our method with three alternatives: a conventional on/off control, an optimized on/off control, and an optimized Naive NNPC, with the latter two also incorporating our distributed optimization strategy. Specifically, our method realizes approximately 7% reduction in energy consumption compared to the conventional on-off method while maintaining equivalent comfort levels. Furthermore, it attains parity with the performance of the optimized Naive NNPC without requiring manual tuning, thereby illustrating its adaptability and ease of implementation. Collectively, these findings underscore our method's superiority across metrics of energy efficiency, comfort and applicability, demonstrating the profound potential of DRL in BEM, particularly when TES is involved.
