Communications Multi-Path Access Decision Scheme

Resolution of seamless switching within a set of available wireless access solutions applied in ITS (Intelligent Transport System) applications is presented. The CALM based system or specifically designed and configured L3/L2 switching can be an adequate solution for the multi-path access communication system. These systems have to meet requirements of the seamless secure communications functionality within even an extensive cluster of moving objects. Competent decision processes based on pre...

Artificial Intelligence Methods Used for Predicting Traction Power Consumption

In this paper some remarks on predictive modeling of traction power consumption and their use in intelligent control systems are stated. Special emphasis is put on discussing neural networks and genetic algorithms for such models described in the second Chapter. In the third Chapter, significant applications of neural networks and genetic algorithms in area of power consumption and train diagram are stated. A methodology of model development and assessment is presented in Chapter 4. In Chapte...

Self-Organizing Aspects in Transportation and Their Modelling*

Traffic control is significantly contributing to lower the implications of ever increasing amount of traffic in almost all countries and thus lower the impacts of increasing number of vehicles in traffic. One of the means how to improve the traffic control is to take into the account more significantly the impact of individual human behaviour. Drivers interact with each other and this leads to the emergence of self-organization processes. Description of self-organization is important for more...

Operation Safety and Reliability Improvement of Large Transport Systems by Complex Sensitivity Investigation

Transportation system safety and reliability pertain to the dominant factors affecting present life of human society. In this paper, we describe the method for an analysis and further subsequent optimization of complex transportation system safety and reliability based on their complex sensitivity investigation. Reasonable applications of this theoretical tool can also be used for improvement of complex transportation system resistance against terrorist activities.

Distributed Approach to Neuroinformatics Data Interchange

This contribution presents a concept and an analysis of system and functional requirements for a database management system for neuroinformatics data (NIDB). The basic idea of NIDB is to allow to collect and interchange biomedical and associated data among research groups working on several projects in the field of neuro-informatics and HMI. The main aim of NIDB is to collect the output data measured in the projects, to allow to organize and annotate them, to provide an arbitrary selected sub...

Fusion of Local Maps in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks*

One of the problems during a great disaster is the breakdown of communication infra structure. One of the solutions is the use of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). In this paper, we consider the situation in a building after a big fire, explosion or earthquake. Rescue workers equipped with PDAs, which are wireless connected, explore the dynamically changing world. Each individual builds up a local world map based on their local exploration and observation. The local maps are fused via the MANET...

A Knowledge-Based Approach to Dynamic Route Planning*

In this paper, an expert system that performs route planning using dynamic traffic data is introduced. Also an algorithmic approach is introduced to find the shortest path in a three-dimensional. Using both implementations, a comparison is made between the expert system approach and the algorithmic approach. It is concluded that the expert system shows great potential. The expert system indeed finds the best routes, and it outperforms the algorithm approach in computation time, too.
