A multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) experimental test facility has been developed for the evaluation, benchmarking and comparison of iterative learning control (ILC) strategies. The system addresses the distinct lack of experimental studies for the multivariable case and enables controller performance and robustness to be rigorously investigated over a broad range of operating conditions. ...

The work describes the collaboration between a large experimental research facility and emerging national and cross-national data infrastructures, with the purpose of sharing experimental data and making it findable in common multi-disciplinary data catalogues.

In this paper, the two-echelon multi-period multi-product location–inventory problem with partial facility closing and reopening is studied. For each product period, plants serve warehouses, which consolidation hubs, service customers independent, normally distributed demands. The schedule of construction, temporary closing, modular capacities facilities, continuous-review inventory control pol...

accident is one of the dangers that threated the child’s life. 85 percent of mortality in children in the world is related to accidents. lack of use seatbelt for children in raer seats is one of the major reasons of children mortality. unfortunately, in 70-75% cases, damage in children occurs in their face and head. also, the physical damage can lead to maim and death in children. on the other ...

competitive facility location focus on locating facilities by considering the fact of competition in businesses, so every facilities try to reach their reachable shares through competition. reachable shares have an indirect relation with the distance of facilities to the customer and a direct relation with the attractiveness of the facility. attractiveness of any facility is depend on variety o...

this research is aimed at developing a model for measuring and comparison amount of supply and demand for different urban services from quality of life and equity perspectives, in urban built-up areas. this paper explains different steps of implementing the model as a tool for evaluating accessibility of residents to various services according to two main criteria: land per capita and distance ...

one of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. the cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. one approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by plug-in electric vehicles (pevs). in spite of reducing the emission, pevs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. technical challenges such as load and...
