Analyzing dynamic performance between pantograph and contact wire depends on mechanical and electrical conditions such as contact force, currents, aerodynamics of pantograph and tension of overhead contact wire. For the characteristic of dynamic performance between pantograph and overhead contact wire, various evaluation systems are used to measuring of the interaction of the contact line and the pantograph. Among the various methods, the contact force and percentage of arcing are intended to prove the safety and the quality of the current collection system on the train. However, these methods are only capable of measuring on the train which are installed measurement systems. Therefore in this paper, a track-side monitoring system was implemented to measure electrical characteristics from active overhead contact wire systems in order to constantly estimate current collection performance of railway operation. In addition, a method to analyze loss of contact phenomena was proposed. According to simulation results, the proposed system was capable of measuring abnormal electrical behavior of pantograph and contact wires on the track-side. The advantage of the proposed system is possible to detect loss of contact or any other electrical abnormalities of all types of trains within sections from sub to sub without the need to install any on-board equipment on trains.

Recently, WBI model which is based on web has been proposed in the part of the new activity model of teaching-learning. The demand for the customized coursewares which is required from the learners is increased, the needs of the efficient and automated education agents in the web-based instruction are recognized. But many education systems that had been studied recently did not service fluently the courses which learners had been wanting and could not provide the way for the learners to study the learning weakness which is observed in the continuous feedback of the course. In this paper we propose design of multi-agent system for course scheduling of learner-oriented using weakness analysis algorithm. First, proposed system monitors learner's behaviors constantly, evaluates them, and calculates his accomplishment. From this accomplishment, the multi-agent schedules the suitable course for the learner. The learner achieves an active and complete learning from the repeated and suitable course.

Recently, some of people are keep in research and development of the further more efficient and convenient auction systems using intelligent software agents in electronic commerce. The purpose of this thesis is that a simple auction system has web bulletin boards, is aided by intelligent agent, and generates pertinent auction duration time and starting price for auction goods of auctioneer into a auction system, then the auctioneer gets the highest margin. The seller who want to sell goods, is using internet sends mail that has information for goods to agent of internet auction system. The agent undertake filtering process for already learned information about similar goods. And it calculate duration time and start price from stored bidding history database. In this thesis we propose a mailing agent system pushing information in internet auction that enables to aid decision for auctioneer about the starting time and price which delivers the highest margin.

A bit-rate controller that can achieve a constant bit rate when coding object-based video sequences is an important part to achieve an adaptation to bit-rate constraints, desired video quality, distribution of bits among objects, relationship between texture and shape coding, and determination of frame skip or not. Therefore we design content-based bit rate controller which will be used for relevant bit-rate control. The implementation is an extension of MPEG-4 rate control algorithm which employs a quadratic rate-quantizer model. The importance of different objects in a video is analyzed and segmented into a number of VOPs which are adaptively bit-allocated using the object-based modelling. Some test sequences are observed by a number of non-experts and interests in each object are analysed. The initial total target bit-rate for all objects is obtained by using the proposed technique. Then the total target bits are jointly analyzed for preventing from overflow or underflow of the buffer fullness. The target bits are distributed to each object in view of its importance, not only of statistical analysis such as motion vector magnitude, size of object shape, and coding distortion of previous frame. The scheme is compared with the rate controller adopted by the MPEG-4 VM8 video coder by representing their statistics and performance.

In this paper, we explain the development procedure for a WLAN (IEEE 802.l1b Wireless Lan) handoff simulator using OPNET Modeler 9.0 and analyze the handoff performance when TCP and UDP traffic is applied. Because the BSS (Basic Service Set) is set only once at the beginning of a simulation in WLAN model supported by OPNET Modeler 9.0, the discontinuation of the communication between MS (Mobile Station) and AP (Access Point) is occurred by the migration of the MS from one BSS to another. We implement a handoff simulator based on this WLAN model and analyze handoff performance in various scenarios Also, we propose a new handoff algorithm which prevents TCP timeout by analyzing the problems of the handoff using the simulator.

SC-FDMA is employed in the 3GPP-LTE standard as the uplink transmission scheme. SC-FDMA has advantages that the signal has a low PAPR property and a simple equalizer such as FD-LE can be implemented. But FD-LE has inferior performance to Hybrid-DFE composed of frequency-domain feedforward filter and time-domain feedback filter. Recently, several IB-DFE algorithms have been proposed to overcome the disadvantages of implementation and processing complexity of Hybrid-DFE and to obtain superior performance to FD-LE. In this paper, we apply several IB-DFE algorithms to 3GPP-LTE uplink system and compare their performance by calculating BER. We investigate the effects of channel estimation errors and Doppler shift on performance. Finally, by analyzing computational complexity of IB-DFEs, we present some criteria to choose appropriate algorithm and to decide the number of iterative processes.

Currently, geographical information is interpreted and adopted in a wide range of context, and used for meeting diverse demands, such as, battlefield, traffic management, or public safety. With such an explosive increase of location-based applications, a considerable amount of research on the localization technique has been carried out. Among them, RSS (Received Signal Strength)-based approach is used especially for the indoor localization due to intrinsic limitations of the indoor environment. In this paper, we perform theoretical and empirical studies on enhancing the accuracy of the RSS-based localization on the IEEE 802.15.4 network. To this end, we set up an indoor testbed and implement a localization system on it. In addition to the theoretical analysis of the localization algorithm that we used, an empirical analysis on the effect of the factors which affect the accuracy of a localization system is carried out. Finally, we suggest some critical guidelines that should be considered for building a highly accurate localization system.

Digital vessels can occur large a disaster at sea because vessels in fire and collision in case of certain unforeseen circumstances. In this paper, We propose digital vessel context monitoring system through risk analysis. We propose environment information analysis system using wireless sensor that have to acquire marine environment and context of marine digital vessel. For conducting simulation, we chose 300 data sets to train the neural network. As a result, we obtained about 96% accuracy for fire risk context and we obtained 88.7% accuracy for body of vessel risk context. To improve the accuracy of the system, we implement a FEC (Forward Error Correction) block. We implemented digital vessel context monitoring system that transmitted to diagnosis result in CDMA.

Genetic algorithms using a Process of genetic evolution of an organism are appropriate for hard problems that have not been solved by any deterministic method. Up to now, the controller design method has been made with the frequency dependent specification but the design method with the time specification has gotten little progress. In this paper, we study the controller design to satisfy the performance of a plant using the generalized Manabe standard form. When dealing with a controller design in the case of two parameter configurations, there are some situations that neither a known pseudo inverse technique nor the inverse method can be applicable. In this case, we propose two methods of designing a controller by the gradient algorithm and the new pseudo inverse method so that the desired closed polynomials are either equalized to or approximated to the designed polynomial. Design methods of the proposed controller are implemented in Java.
