In order to improve the safety of train operation, a short-term wind speed forecasting method is proposed based on a linear recursive autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) algorithm and a non-linear recursive generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (GARCH) algorithm (ARIMA-GARCH). Firstly, the non-stationarity embedded in the original wind speed data is pre-processed...

We consider the stability properties for thermoelastic Bresse system which describes the motion of a linear planar shearable thermoelastic beam. The system consists of three wave equations and two heat equations coupled in certain pattern. The two wave equations about the longitudinal displacement and shear angle displacement are effectively damped by the dissipation from the two heat equations...

This paper presents mechanical characteristics of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) when it operates in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) or in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), i.e. when the current through the phase coils (windings) flows discontinuously or continuously. Firstly, in order to maximize the output power of SRM optimization of its control parameters was performed, such that the p...

We propose a light controlled intersection model based on a constant speed continuous Petri net. The Model is innovative, firstly, by the free space modeling together with the opposite direction of the vehicular flow, secondly by the continuous Petri net use only leading to a smaller state space. For this purpose, we show a new method for conflict resolution in a Petri net based on the maximal ...

To enhance the control performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), a generalized predictive control (GPC)-based proportional integral feedforward (PIF) controller is proposed for the speed control system. In this new approach, firstly, based on the online identification of controlled model parameters, a simplified GPC law supplies the PIF controller with suitable control paramet...

This paper considers the effect of nonlinear atmospheric disturbances on wind power prediction. A Lorenz system is introduced as an atmospheric disturbance model. Three new improved wind forecasting models combined with a Lorenz comprehensive disturbance are put forward in this study. Firstly, we define the form of the Lorenz disturbance variable and the wind speed perturbation formula. Then, d...

telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

In this paper a realistic cellular automata model is proposed to simulate traffic flow at single-lane roundabouts. The proposed model is built on fine grid Cellular Automata (CA), so it is able to simulate actual traffic flow more realistically. Several important novel features are employed in our model. Firstly, 1.5-second rule is used for the headway (=distance /speed) in carfollowing process...

Th e publication of scientifi c literature and textbooks is probably one of the last stages in the development of a serious and mature university. Th is does not mean that universities after this phase do not continue to develop further, but rather that this phase is the completion of the internal structure. Th is is probably because publishing is a mature and developed academic activity associ...

This paper summarises the results of a pilot project conducted to investigate the correlation between automatic evaluation metric scores and post-editing speed on a segment by segment basis. Firstly, the results from the comparison of various automatic metrics and post-editing speed will be reported. Secondly, further analysis is carried out by taking into consideration other relevant variables...
