Abstract The research on braking performance a of tractor-semitrailer is a hard and difficult point in the field of vehicle reliability and safety technology. In this paper, the tire braking model and the dynamic characteristic model of the brake torque with the variable of the controlling air pressure were established. We also established a nonlinear kinematic model of the tractor-semitrailer when it brakes on a curve. The parameters and variables of the model were measured and determined by the road experiment test. The optimal control strategy for the tractor-semitrailer based on the optimal slipping ratio was More >

Abstract The water conservancy industry is one of the oldest fundamental industries in human history with high attention all the time, which is a vital factor to national well-being and people’s livelihood. The “Five Water Governance” is one of important strategies as a breakthrough to force transforming and upgrading for ecological water conservancy and sustainable development. A regional dynamic CGE model was constructed to simulate and analyze the short-term and longterm influence of the water conservancy investment to water conservancy industry itself, other national economy sectors and macro economy, so as to provide scientific proof for More >

Abstract This paper investigates the delay-dependent stability problem of recurrent neural networks with time-varying delay. A new and less conservative stability criterion is derived through constructing a new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and employing the linear matrix inequality method. A new augmented LKF that considers more information of the slope of neuron activation functions is developed for further reducing the conservatism of stability results. To deal with the derivative of the LKF, several commonly used techniques, including the integral inequality, reciprocally convex combination, and free-weighting matrix method, are applied. Moreover, it is found that the obtained More >

Abstract For the study of the effect of deicing with carbon fiber heating wire in the bridge pavement structure, through built-in carbon fiber heating wire in the bridge pavement structure, experimental studies were carried out indoor on the effects of thermal conductivity in different embedding positions, layout spacing and the installs power of carbon fiber heating wire. With indoor laboratory test data as the basic parameters, using ABAQUS finite element software simulation, an analysis was carried out of the degree that the surface temperature of the heating wire, the thermal physical parameters of asphalt concrete, and More >

Abstract In this article, a new user authentication protocol using trust model, elliptic curve cryptography and biometrics for WSNs is submitted. The result of the trust model analysis indicates that the model can improve the model’s ability of withstanding attacks from the malicious nodes. The results of safety analysis and performance analysis for our proposed user authentication protocol demonstrate that this protocol can be flexible to all sorts of common known attacks and performs similarly or better compared with some active user authentication protocols. It is suitable for WSNs which have a prominent request for the More >

Abstract Handwritten numeral recognition is one of the most popular fields of research in automation because it is used in many applications. Indeed, automation has continually received substantial attention from researchers. Therefore, great efforts have been made to devise accurate recognition methods with high recognition ratios. In this paper, we propose a method for integrating the correlation coefficient with a Self-Organizing Maps (SOM)-based technique to recognize offline handwritten Arabic decimal digits. The simulation results show very high recognition rates compared with the rates achieved by other existing methods. More >

Abstract The objective of this paper is to monitor and control a micro-grid model developed in MATLABSimulink through Multi Agent System (MAS) for autonomous and distributed energy management. Since MATLAB/Simulink is not compatible with parallel operations of MAS, MAS operating in Java Agent Development Environment (JADE) is linked with MATLAB/Simulink through Multi Agent Control using Simulink with Jade extension (MACSimJX). This allows the micro-grid system designed with Simulink to be controlled by MAS for realizing the advantages of MAS in distributed and decentralized microgrid systems. JADE agents receive environmental information through Simulink and they coordinate to More >

Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of the appearance-based localization of a humanoid robot, in the context of robot navigation. We only use information obtained by a single sensor, in this case the camera mounted on the robot. We aim at determining the most similar image within a previously acquired set of key images (also referred to as a visual memory) to the current view of the monocular camera carried by the robot. The robot is initially kidnapped and the current image has to be compared with the visual memory. To solve this problem, More >

Abstract Structure from Motion algorithms offer good advantages, such as extract 3D information in monocular systems and structures estimation as shown in Hartley & Zisserman for numerous applications, for instance; augmented reality, autonomous navigation, motion capture, remote sensing and object recognition among others. Nevertheless, this algorithm suffers some weaknesses in precision. In the present work, we extent the proposal in Arana-Daniel, Villaseñor, López-Franco, & Alanís that presents a new strategy using bio-inspired intelligence algorithm and Conformal Geometric Algebra, based in the object mapping paradigm, to overcome the accuracy problem in two-view Structure form motion algorithms.
