PURPOSES : Although signalized intersections have been considered the best way to control traffic volume in urban areas for several decades, roundabouts are currently being discussed as an alternative way to control traffic volume, especially when traffic is light. Because a roundabout's efficiency depends on the load geometry as well as the traffic volume, design guidelines for roundabouts are recommended only if the incoming traffic volume is very low. It is rare to substitute a roundabout for an existing signalized intersection in urban areas. This study aims to estimate the benefits from the transformation of an existing signalized intersection into a roundabout in an urban area. When there is a more moderate volume of traffic, roundabouts can be effectively used by optimizing signals located at an approaching roadway. METHODS : The methodologies of this paper are as follows: First, a signalized intersection was analyzed to determine the traffic characteristics. Second, the signalized intersection was transformed into a roundabout using VISSIM microscopic traffic simulation. Then, we estimated and analyzed the effects and the performance of the roundabout. In addition, we adjusted a method to improve the benefits of the transformation via the optimization of signals located at an approaching road to control the incoming traffic volume. RESULTS : The results of this research are as follows: The signal-optimized roundabout improved delays compared with the signalized intersection during the morning peak hour, non-peak hour, and evening peak hour by 1.78%, 12.45%, and 12.72%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : According to the simulation results of each scenarios, the signal-optimized roundabout had less delay time than the signalized intersection. If optimized signal control algorithms are installed in roundabouts in the future, this will lead to more efficient traffic management.

We propose a new method to deal with the optimized auto-tuning for the PID controller which is used to the process -control in various fields. First of all, in this method, initial values of DC motor are determined by the Ziegler-Nichols method. Finally, after studying the parameters of PID controller by input vector of multiple regression analysis, when we give new K, L, T values to multiple regression model, the optimized parameters of PID controller is found by multiple regression analysis program.

In this paper, we implemented a speaker-independent speech recognizer using the TMS320F28335 DSP which is optimized for control applications. For this implementation, we used a small-sized commercial DSP module and developed a peripheral board including a codec, signal conditioning circuits and I/O interfaces. The speech signal digitized by the TLV320AIC23 codec is analyzed based on MFCC feature extraction methed and recognized using the continuous-density HMM. Thanks to the internal SRAM and flash memory on the TMS320F28335 DSP, we did not need any external memory devices. The internal flash memory contains ADPCM data for voice response as well as HMM data. Since the TMS320F28335 DSP is optimized for control applications, the recognizer may play a good role in the voice-activated control areas in aspect that it can integrate speech recognition capability and inherent control functions into the single DSP.

본 연구에서는 지방부 간선 또는 지선 축에서 효과적으로 사용 가능한 연동형 반감응 신호제어 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 평가하였다. 연동형 반감응 신호제어에 대한 모의실험 결과를 살펴보면, 주 부 도로의 교통량 차이가 커질수록 연동형 반감응 신호제어의 지체가 최적화된 고정식 신호제어에 비해 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 주부도로의 교통량이 같거나 전체 교통량이 많아지면 최적화된 고정식 신호제어의 지체가 더 낮게 나타났으며, 횡단 보행량이 많아질수록 차량 지체가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 연동형 반감응 신호제어는 차량 교통량이 일정수준 이하인 곳에 적용하되, 횡단 보행량을 고려하여 적용지역을 선별해야 할 것이다.

최근 대도시의 경우 교통정보센터 및 ITS센터 등을 통하여 도시부 신호교차로를 운영 관리하고 있으며, 천안시도 ITS 1,2,3차 사업을 통하여 2007년 교통정보센터를 설립하여, 버스정보시스템, 교통정보 수집 및 제공 시스템, 주차정보시스템, 그리고 신신호제어시스템 등을 운영하고 있다. 천안시 신호운영체계의 경우, 주요 축별로 신호기를 그룹화 하여 연동화 운영중에 있으며, 교통량에 따라 실시간으로 주기와 현시가 변동되도록 운영하고 있다. 이와 같이 도시부 Network는 교통 대응식 (TRC; Traffic Responsive Control)운영모드의 사용으로 교통지체 및 축별 속도 등의 향상을 확인하였다. 그러나 인접도시를 연결하는 지방부 지역의 경우는 정통적인 고정식 운영을 사용함으로써 신호운영효율이 낮은 것으로 확인 되었다. 이에 지방부 독립신호교차로 형태의 신호교차로의 효율성 확대를 위해 감응식 운영모드의 사용 가능성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 천안시 교통정보센터에서 운영하고 있는 신호교차로 중 천안 외곽지역의 신호교차로를 대상으로 감응식 신호제어를 운영하여, 이를 현재 운영중인 고정식 제어와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 현장 운영시 감응식 신호운영제어가 고정식 신호운영에 비해 지체감소 효과가 월등하였으며, 비최적화 고정식, 최적화 고정식, 비최적화 감응식, 그리고 최적화 감응식의 네가지 Case의 시뮬레이션 지체비교에서는 최적화 고정식과 비최적화 및 최적화 감응식의 지체 차이는 통계적으로 차이가 없는 것으로 판명되었다. 이는 지방 중소도시의 경우, 도시부 이외의 지방부 성격을 갖는 신호교차로에서 있어서, 교통량 조사 등과 같은 부가적 노력 없이 신호교차로를 운영할 수 있는 감응식 신호제어 운영이 보다 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a robust-optimal control strategy to improve the output-voltage error-tracking and control capability of a DC-DC boost converter. The proposed strategy employs an optimized Fractional-order Proportional-Integral (FoPI) controller that serves to eliminate oscillations, overshoots, undershoots and steady-state fluctuations. In order to significantly improve the error convergence-rate during a transient response, the FoPI controller is augmented with a pre-stage nonlinear error-modulator. The modulator combines the variations in the error and error-derivative via the signed-distance method. Then it feeds the aggregated-signal to a smooth sigmoidal control surface constituting an optimized hyperbolic secant function. The error-derivative is evaluated by measuring the output-capacitor current in order to compensate the hysteresis effect rendered by the parasitic impedances. The resulting modulated-signal is fed to the FoPI controller. The fixed controller parameters are meta-heuristically selected via a Particle-Swarm-Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The proposed control scheme exhibits rapid transits with improved damping in its response which aids in efficiently rejecting external disturbances such as load-transients and input-fluctuations. The superior robustness and time-optimality of the proposed control strategy is validated via experimental results.

The traffic congestion caused by the exploding increase of vehicles became one of the severest social problems. Among the various approaches to solve this problem, controlling the length of traffic signals appropriately according to the individual traffic situation would be the most plausible and cost-effective method. To design a traffic signal controller which has such a property as adaptive decision-making process, we adopt fuzzy logic control method(fuzzy traffic signal controller), Moreover, using genetic algorithms we obtain an optimized fuzzy traffic signal controller (GA-fuzzy traffic signal controller). To evaluate and validate the proposed fuzzy and GA-fuzzy traffic signal controller, simulation results are presented.

In this study, a brain emotional learning-based intelligent controller (BELBIC) is developed for the speed control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). A novel and simple model of the IPMSM drive structure is established with the intelligent control system, which controls motor speed accurately without the use of any conventional PI controllers and is independent of motor parameters. This study is conducted in both real time and simulation with a new control plant for a laboratory 3 ph, 3.8 Nm IPMSM digital signal processor (DSP)-based drive system. This DSP-based drive system is then compared with conventional BELBIC and an optimized conventional PI controller. Results show that the proposed method performs better than the other controllers and exhibits excellent control characteristics, such as fast response, simple implementation, and robustness with respect to disturbances and manufacturing imperfections.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to propose delay-minimizing operation methodology of a signalized intersection based upon optimization of lane-uses on approaching lanes for an intersection. METHODS : For the optimization model of lane-uses, a set of constraints are set up to ensure feasibility and safety of the lane-uses, traffic flow, and signal settings. Minimization of demand to saturation flow ratio of a dual-ring signal control system is introduced to the objective function for delay minimization and effective signal operation. Using the optimized lane-uses, signal timings are optimized by delay-based model of TRANSYT-7F. RESULTS : It was found that the proposed objective function is great relation with delay time for an intersection. From the experimental results, the method was approved to be effective in reducing delay time. Especially, cases for two left-turn lanes reduced greater delays than those for a left turn lane. It is noticed that the cases for different traffic volume by approach reduced greater delays than those for the same traffic volume by approach. CONCLUSIONS : It was concluded that the objective function is proper for lane-uses optimizing model and the operation method is effective in reducing delay time for signalized intersections.

Energy harvesting is an increasingly attractive source of power for cellular networks, and can be a promising solution for green networks. In this paper, we consider a cellular network with power beacons powering multiple mobile terminals with microwave power transfer in energy beamforming. In this network, the power beacons are powered by grid and renewable energy jointly. We adopt a dual-level control architecture, in which controllers collect information for a core controller, and the core controller has a real-time global view of the network. By implementing the water filling optimized power allocation strategy, the core controller optimizes the energy allocation among mobile terminals within the same cluster. In the proposed green energy cooperation paradigm, power beacons dynamically share their renewable energy by locally injecting/drawing renewable energy into/from other power beacons via the core controller. Then, we propose a new water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy, which jointly exploits water filling optimized power allocation strategy and green energy cooperation in cellular networks. Finally, we validate our works by simulations and show that the proposed water filling optimized green energy cooperation management strategy can achieve about 10% gains of MT's average rate and about 20% reduction of on-grid energy consumption.
