bus systems are unstable without considering any control. thus, we are able to consider some control strategies to alleviate this problem. a holding control strategy is one commonly used real-time control strategy that can improve service quality. this paper develops a mathematical model for a holding control strategy. the objective of this model is to minimize the total cost related to passeng...

time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. the stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. it is well-known that the stabi...

generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. a failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. in addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...

real-time pricing schemes make the customers to feel the energy price volatility and improve their load profiles. however, these schemes have no significant effect on demand-side uncertainty reduction. in this paper, considering smart grid infrastructures and smart building energy management system (ems), a new real-time pricing scheme is presented to reduce the uncertainty of demand-side. in t...

car-following models, as the most popular microscopic traffic flow modeling, is increasingly being used by transportation experts to evaluate new intelligent transportation system (its) applications. a number of factors including individual differences of age, gender, and risk-taking behavior, have been found to influence car-following behavior. this paper presents a novel idea to calculate the...

the late detection of the kick (the entrance of underground fluids into oil wells) leads to oil wellblowouts. it causes human life loss and imposes a great deal of expenses on the petroleum industry.this paper presents the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system designed for an earlierkick detection using measurable drilling parameters. in order to generate the initial fuzzy infere...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...
