Objective : Conventional therapy approaches for stroke survivors have required considerable demands on therapist's effort and patient's expense. Thus, new robotics rehabilitation therapy technologies have been proposed but they have suffered from less than optimal control algorithms. This article presents a novel technical healthcare solution for the real-time, simultaneous and propositional myoelectric control for stroke survivors' upper limb robotic rehabilitation therapy. Methods : To implement an appropriate computational algorithm for controlling a portable rehabilitative robot, a linear regression model was employed, and a simple game experiment was conducted to identify its potential of clinical utilization. Results : The results suggest that the proposed device and computational algorithm can be used for stroke robot rehabilitation. Conclusion : Moreover, we believe that these techniques will be used as a prominent tool in making a device or finding new therapy approaches in robot-assisted rehabilitation for stroke survivors.

Fuzzy supervisory control technique for the seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges subject to earthquakes is studied. The proposed technique is a hybrid control method, which adopts a hierarchical structure consisting of several sub-controllers and a fuzzy supervisor. Sub-controllers are independently designed to reduced the responses to be controlled of a cable-stayed bridge, and a fuzzy supervisor achieves improved seismic control performance by tuning the pre-designed sub-controllers. It is realized by converting static gains of the sub-controllers into time-varying dynamic gains through the fuzzy inference mechanism. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed technique, the benchmark control problem of cable-stayed bridge proposed by Dyke et al. is adopted. The control variables for the seismic response control of the cable-stayed bridge are determined to be t도 shear forces and bending moments at the base of the towers, the longitudinal displacements at the top of the towers, the relative displacements between the deck and the tower, and the tensions in the stay cables. Comparative results between the fuzzy supervisory controller and LQG controller demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control technique.

일반적으로 시스템 인식과 제어에 이용하는 다층 신경회로망은 기존의 역전파 알고리즘을 이용한다. 그러나 결선강도에 대한 오차의 기울기를 구하는 방법이기 때문에 국부적 최소점에 빠지기 쉽고, 수렴속도가 매우 늦으며 초기 결선강도 값들이나 학습계수에 민감하게 반응한다. 이와 같은 단점을 개선하기 위하여 확장된 칼만 필터링 기법을 역전파 알고리즘에 결합하였으나 계산상의 복잡성 때문에 망의 크기가 증가하면 실제 적용할 수 없다. 최근 신경회로망을 선형과 비선형 구간으로 구분하고 칼만 필터링 기법을 도입하여 수렴속도를 빠르게 하고 초기 결선강도 값에 크게 영향을 받지 않도록 개선하였으나, 여전히 은닉층의 선형 오차값을 역전파 알고리즘에 의해서 계산하기 때문에 학습계수에 민감하다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 언급한 기존의 신경회로망 알고리즘의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 은닉층의 목표값을 최적기법에 의하여 직접계산하고 각각의 결선강도 값은 반복최소 자승법으로 온라인 학습하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 이들 신경회로망 알고리즘과 비교하고자 한다. 여러 가지 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 초기 결선강도에 크게 영향을 받지 않으며, 기존의 학습계수 선정에 따른 문제점을 해결함으로써 신경회로망 모델에 기초한 실시간 제어기 설계에 응용할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 유도전동기의 속도추정과 제어에 적용하여 좋은 결과를 보였다.

Since the 1st of July, 2004, the public transport system of the Seoul metropolitan area has been rearranged. In the new system, bus lines are divided into 4 classes-wide area, arterial road, branch, and rotation lines with renewed fare system based on the total distance travelled. Since central control center known as the Bus Management System (BMS) integrates the entire system operation. it now becomes feasible to collect travel information and provide it to the users scientifically and systematically. The Purpose of this study is to forecast transit travel time using real-time traffic data coming from both buses and subway. This is significant contribution since provision of real-time transit information and easy access to it would most likely boost the use of mass transit system, alleviating roadway congestion in the metropolitan area.

Recently, the research, utilizing bio and environment sensors in agricultural and cattle industries, are drawing attention among the various IT convergence technologies. Among such research IT convergence techniques which aim to improve the quality of cattle industry management are necessary in particular. Real-time monitoring of the cattles health condition, identification of the cause of the diseases and timely response to such epidemic based on IT convergence techniques are among them. In order to achieve the better management of cattle industry, we propose a cattles management system which based on various bio environment sensors and wireless network technologies. The system consists of wireless environmental sensor data acquisition nodes, sensor data processing nodes, the gateway and the server. The proposed system is able to actively monitor the cattle field, to respond quickly in the case of massive cattle diseases and to control the environment of the cattle fields. We believe the proposed system will demonstrate the successful application of IT technologies to an applied field such as farming industries because of real-time crisis management capability in case of epidemic and optimal management of cattle industry.

Real-time traveler information disseminated through Variable Message Signs (VMS) is known to have effects on driver route choice decisions. In the past, many studies have attempted to optimize the system performance using VMS message content as the primary control variable of driver route choice. This research proposes a VMS information provision optimization model which searches the best combination of VMS message contents and display sequence to minimize the total travel time on a highway network considered. The driver route choice models under VMS information provision are developed using a stated preference (SP) survey data in order to realistically capture driver response behavior. The genetic algorithm (GA) is used to find the optimal VMS information provision strategies which consists of the VMS message contents and the sequence of message display. In the process of the GA module, the system performance is measured using micro traffic simulation. The experiment results highlight the capability of the proposed model to search the optimal solution in an efficient way. The results show that the traveler information conveyed via VMS can reduce the total travel time on a highway network. They also suggest that as the frequency of VMS message update gets shorter, a smaller number of VMS message contents performs better to reduce the total travel time, all other things being equal.

The conventional fixed gain PI controller is very sensitive to step change of command speed, parameter variation and load disturbances. The precise speed control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) drive becomes a complex issue due to nonlinear coupling among its winding currents and the rotor speed as well as the nonlinear electromagnetic developed torque. Therefore, there exists a need to tune the PI controller parameters on-line to ensure optimum drive performance over a wide range of operating conditions. This paper proposes hybrid intelligent-PI(HIPI) controller of IPMSM drive using adaptive learning mechanism(ALM) and fuzzy neural network(FNN). The proposed controller is developed to ensure accurate speed control of IPMSM drive under system disturbances and estimation of speed using artificial neural network(ANN) controller. The PI controller parameters are optimized by ALM-FNN at all possible operating condition in a closed loop vector control scheme, The validity of the proposed controller is verified by results at different dynamic operating conditions.
