Simulation models for evaluation of terminal operations and traffic flow on adjacent road network
(2009)
The goods movement via terminals at ports is a complex operation as it involves use of different modes of transport that includes surface and marine. In this paper, we present three simulation models which can be used to ...
Real-Time Control of a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
The control of large segmented telescopes is a challenging one due to the complexity and high order of the system. The high order dynamics lead to high order controllers that require more memory and faster computations for ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semiautomated vehicles
(2003)
The introduction of semiautomated vehicles designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near-term objective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects on traffic-flow characteristics and ...
Evaluation of the environmental effects of intelligent cruise control vehicles
(2001)
Intelligent cruise control (ICC) vehicles are already commercially available in Japan and should be ready for the North American market by next year. Although the controllers are local and string stable, it is not clear ...
Fuzzy traffic density homogenizer for automated highway system
(IEEE, 1994)
In this paper, a fuzzy traffic density homogenizer is proposed to alleviate or avoid the congestion by smoothing the traffic density distribution profile over the freeway. The proposed fuzzy traffic density homogenizer ...
Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(American Automatic Control Council, 1994)
Entrainment and vehicle following controllers are proposed for autonomous intelligent vehicles in both non-tight and tight vehicle following maneuvers. A nonlinear vehicle model is used for designing the controllers. The ...
Roadway traffic controller design for automated highway systems
(IEEE, 1994)
For manual driving, the traffic flow is often irregular, unstable leading to congestion and to low traffic flow rate during minor incidents. These irregularities are due to variation of vehicle speeds and headways that are ...
How fast are the two-dimensional gaussian waves?
(2002)
For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive the intensity distributions of appropriately defined velocities of crossing contours. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. ...
Modelling significant wave height in the North Atlantic
(2003)
The surface of the ocean, and so such quantities as the significant wave height, can be thought of as a random surface in space which develops over time. In this paper, we explore certain types of random fields (in space ...
A heuristic search algorithm for maneuvering of UAVs across dense thermal areas
(2007)
In order to ensure that an aircraft has the potential to meet the assigned performance requirements which are often mission specific, the particular aerodynamic demands involved must be taken into account during the aircraft ...
