concept of locating business units includes the most important factors in their success and one the most competitive advantage of industrial units. entrepreneurs have been considered in this context, and different mathematical models have been developed. this paper aims to develop a decision support system based on a mathematical model in linear programming. in a comprehensive approach to this ...

In order to cope with global climate change, an electric vehicle (EV) and new energy building are constantly being innovated improved. With the popularity application of big data Internet Things, available charging piles may also become a station, which can solve problem difficult EVs promote local consumption building. Therefore, this study proposes shared concept for buildings, that is, photo...

the suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. when a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. the most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and low ...

Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) have become very popular in recent years. These systems provide a contemporary layer of automation named automatic object location detection. Location measurements involve the transmission and reception of signals between hardware components of a system. A RTLS consists of at least two separate hardware components: a signal transmitter and a measuring unit. The...

Bicycle sharing programs have emerged as a global trend as an affordable, convenient, and sustainable travel option with various benefits. One of the benefits of such programs is touted to be their positive impacts on transit ridership by extending transit catchment area and providing much needed last-mile connection. Thus, locating bicycle sharing programs in transit station areas is believed ...

Process mining is a rapidly developing field that aims at automated modeling of business processes based on data coming from event logs. In recent years, advances in tracking technologies, e.g., RealTime Locating Systems (RTLS), put forward the ability to log business process events as location sensor data. To apply process mining techniques to such sensor data, one needs to overcome an abstrac...

The fundamental cause of localization error in an indoor environment is fading and spreading of the radio signals due to scattering, diffraction, and reflection. This work proposes a new factor called R-factor to measure the localization error introduced by a receiver in a real-time location determination system (RTLS). Additionally, R-factor is shown to be reduced by using antenna or frequency...

This paper researches an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) positioning method based on SINS (Strapdown Inertial Navigation System)/LBL (Long Base Line) tightly coupled algorithm. This algorithm mainly includes SINS-assisted searching method of optimum slant-range of underwater acoustic propagation multipath, SINS/LBL tightly coupled model and multi-sensor information fusion algorithm. Fuzzy c...

The locations of dwell points for idle vehicles in an automated guided vehicle (AGV) system determine the response times for pick-up requests and thus affect the performance of automated manufacturing systems. In this study, we address the problem of optimally locating dwell points for multiple AGVs in general guide-path layouts with the objective of minimizing the maximum response time in the ...
