In this paper, a new D-distance factor is proposed to determine the failure probability and prioritize maintenance actions of power circuit breakers in high-voltage substations. The calculated by using condition index renovation breaker (HVCB). To facilitate effective decision-making on with simple method less computational effort, model incorporates weighting–scoring (WSM) analytical hierarchy...

This paper presents a cost-effective probabilistic approach to be used in engineering applications. The proposed consists of an improved Kriging-based method aiming at reducing minimum the number evaluations true performance function when computing failure probability. It is kind variant classical Active learning combining Kriging and Monte Carlo Simulation (AK-MCS) developed by Echard et al. (...

Advanced heterogeneous vehicular network (AHVN) is a promising architecture for providing vehicular services in the next generation of vehicular networks. AHVN is an integrated architecture between vehicular ad hoc networks and existing cellular wireless networks. In this work, we propose a Multihop vehicular connectivity model in V2V system, which depends on the physical characteristics of the...

We study a common-pool resource game where the resource experiences failure with a probability that grows with the aggregate investment in the resource. To capture decision making under such uncertainty, we model each player’s risk preference according to the value function from prospect theory. We show the existence and uniqueness of a pure strategy Nash equilibrium when the players have arbit...
