This paper addresses the lack of reliability within the Swedish rail network by identifying passenger train delay distributions. Arrival delays are analyzed in detail using data provided by the Swedish Transport Administration, covering all train departures and arrivals during 2008 and 2009. The paper identifies vulnerabilities by size, space and time in the network. Our results show that the d...

the performance of nanoscale field effect diodes as a function of the spacer length between two gates is investigated. our numerical results show that the ion/ioff ratio which is a significant parameter in digital application can be varied from 101 to 104 for s-fed as the spacer length between two gates increases whereas this ratio is approximately constant for m-fed. the high-frequency perform...

there are two significant goals in teleoperation systems: stability and performance. this paper introduces an lmi-based robust control method for bilateral transparent teleoperation systems in presence of model mismatch. the uncertainties in time delay in communication channel, task environment and model parameters of master-slave systems is called model mismatch. the time delay in communicatio...

this paper deals with a delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a threshold harvesting policy. we study the equilibria of the system before and after the threshold. we show that the threshold harvesting can improve the undesirable behavior such as nonexistence of interior equilibria. the global analysis of the model as well as boundedness and permanence properties a...

this paper is pertained with the problem of admissibility analysis of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear singular systems by adopting the state-space takagi-sugeno fuzzy model with time-delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. lyapunov krasovskii functionals are constructed to obtain delay-dependent stability condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which is dependent on the low...

An important signal parameter estimation problem is time-delay estimation. Here the unknown is the time origin of the signal: s (l, θ) = s (l − θ). The duration of the signal (the domain over which the signal is de ned) is assumed brief compared with the observation interval L. Although in continuous time the signal delay is a continuous-valued variable, in discrete time it is not. Consequently...

A transmitted and known signal is observed at the receiver through more than one path in additive noise. The problem is to estimate the number of paths and for each of them the associated attenuation and delay. It is a frequent problem in sonar, radar and geophysics. We propose an algorithm that is easy to implement, that has a reasonable computational load and seems to be able to solve the pro...

The development of the hardware systems has incurred various types of delays such as processing and transmission delays. Such delay may be due to the effect of tolerances of electronic components which were used while developing the system. Such time delay parameters must be implemented in the transfer function of the system so as to identify the correct cause of dynamic behavior of the system ...
