  • In this paper, we wish to construct a optimal traffic cycle using wire remote control. if police vehicle or ambulance suddenly enter the traffic Intersection, it will increase the traffic accident. In this paper, wireless traffic light use the radio traffic control signal and research about the hardware manufacture to check special detectors on urgency vehicles may safety and rapidly enter traffic intersection. Also, this paper present a traffic signal control conditions that analyzes different traffic intersection flows in cases of saturated flows, where the real traffic volume demand is large and the capacity constraints of bottlenecks have significant effects on the flow patterns. Through computer simulation this wireless traffic light has been proven to be much more safety and efficient than fixed traffic signal light which does not consider emergency vehicles for safety escort.

  • The demand for steam generators is increasing in industrial systems in which the design strategy should be implemented for safe and efficient operation of steam generators. It is, however, difficult to design a controller by the conventional method because of the nonlinear dynamics of the steam generator and influences by the set value of disturbance. This paper presents an automatic parameter optimization technique for a multivariable fuzzy controller using evolutionary strategy, At first, we use the steady state information such as a steady state gain matrix(SSGM) and a relative gain matrix(RGM). We can obtain much information on the control inputs and the outputs of the boiler-turbine system from the matrices. In order to determine the structure of the controller by using RGM and SSGM, the fuzzy rules are trained by evolutionary strategy. The good performance of the proposed multivariable fuzzy controller is verified through simulations.

  • It is bringing out the importance of automated LCD testing equipment that satisfy a definite quality, confidence and testing speed, as LCD enterprises are recently expanding the production and facility investment in proportion to the sudden increase of LCD demand. So far, LCD inspection is however conducted by manual, or the confidence of existing testing equipment falls short of LCD enterprises's standard. It is therefore important to develop the testing equipment that determines the quality of product for production of an excellent LCD.

  • Due to growing demand on wireless data traffic, a large number of different types of base stations (BSs) have been installed. However, space-time dependent wireless data traffic densities can result in a significant number of idle BSs, which implies the waste of power resources. To deal with this problem, we propose an active state control algorithm based on semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) for a heterogeneous network. A MDP in discrete time domain is formulated from continuous domain with some approximation. Suboptimal on-line learning algorithm with a random policy is proposed to solve the problem. We explicitly include coverage constraint so that active cells can provide the same signal to noise ratio (SNR) coverage with a targeted outage rate. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm properly controls the active state depending on traffic densities without increasing the number of handovers excessively while providing average user perceived rate (UPR) in a more power efficient way than a conventional algorithm.

  • The objective of this study is to analyze customer needs for the configuration of an aircraft cockpit layout of a single piston propeller aircraft. From the result of survey, we figure out the demand of the potential customers. We consider control stick and instrument out of several items to determine which pay for the aircraft or not. We analyze types and features of the aircraft control stick and the instrument which are equipped in the same aircraft in order to figure out what is best needed through a market survey and a questionnaire survey.

  • In this paper, we suggest a design scheme of receding horizon predictive control(RHPC) for boiler-turbine systems whose dynamics are given in nonlinear equations. RHPC is designed for linear state space models which are obtained at a nominal operating point of the boiler-turbine system. In this consideration, the boiler is operated in a sliding pressure mode, in which the reference value of drum pressure is changing according to the electrical power generation. The reference values of the system outputs are prefiltered before they are fed to the RHPC in order to compensate the linearization errors. Simulation results show that the proposed controller provides acceptable performances in both of the cases of 'steep and small changes' and 'slow and large changes' of power demand and yields the effect of modest coordination of conventional PID schemes such as boiler-following and turbine-following control.

  • Water management is important in proton exchange membrane fuel cell because the water balance has a significant impact on the overall fuel cell system performance. In fuel cell vehicle, the vehicle's power demand is dynamic; therefore, the dynamic water management system is required. This present study proposes a method to control the humidity of the input air in cathode side of the fuel cell vehicle. The simulation using several driving cycles shows the proposed air humidification control obtains a relatively good result. The liquid saturation level is seen constant at the target level although still there are small deviations at driving cycles which having averagely high power demands.

  • Cascaded H-Bridge rectifier (CHBR) is a more attractive solution in traction application for its transformerless structure. Because of the currents of different cells are exactly the same one, it is a challenge job to regulate the voltages of cells with only one current controller. In this paper, a PI-based control scheme is presented to deal with the voltages balance issue in CHBR. To satisfy the demand of rectifier such as unity power factor and regulated output DC voltages, the proposed control scheme consists of two parts. One is for shaping the grid current waveform and regulating the sum of DC-link voltages of all the cells; the other one is for balancing DC-link voltages. The latter is more concerned in this paper and is discussed in detail especially. Simulations and experiments are carried on. The results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

  • Mechanical characteristics of nodular graphite cast iron has found to tan higher utilization to the gray cast iron. So, Nodular graphite cast iron is used as a basic material in mechanical industry. Great demand of Nodular graphite cast iron is expected to increase due to the sharp development in mechanical and automobile industry. Therefore, Nodular graphite cast iron requires not only good quality product but experienced skills in manufacturing process. But there exist a lot of difficulties to manufacture nodular graphite cast iron than gray cast iron in manufacturing process. In this study, the following topics are studied for good quality product of nodular graphite cast iron. $\circled1$ Activities of managerial staff. $\circled2$ Qualite control method in manufacturing process. $\circled3$ Manufacturing process system. As a result of the study, a intensive Quality control activities should be applied and reinforced at each stage of manufacturing process rather that at the last stage of final product.
