Typical textile waste water contains a high concentration of spent dye that can pose serious destructive impact on aquatic environment. Therefore, treatment of textile industry effluents is strictly imposed by the relevant government authorities and environmental protection agencies. During present studies, spent dye was removed using potato starch, an environmental friendly, biodegradable and cost...
Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system offers a significant potential in enhancing the driving performance of a vehicle where the energy conserving issue is important. In this paper, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is implemented as tuning mechanism for PID controller. The aim of this hybrid controller is to minimize energy consumption of the EPAS system in Electric Vehicle (EV) by minimizing...
This paper presents a simulation-based optimization approach for railway timetabling, which is made interesting by the need for trains to stop periodically to allow passengers to pray. The developed framework is based on integration of a simulation model and an evolutionary path re-linking algorithm with the capability of scheduling trains, subject to the capacity constraints in order to minimize...
This paper presents an event-driven simulation-based optimization method for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize the total traveling time in the hybrid single and double track railway networks. The simulation approach is well applied for solving the train timetabling problems. In present simulation model, the stations and block sections of the railway network are respectively considered...
In this paper, an optimisation technique is adopted to manipulate the input and output scaling of a fuzzy logic controller for lifting the front wheels of a wheelchair and stabilizing the wheelchair in two-wheeled mode. A virtual wheelchair (WC) model is developed within Visual Nastran (VN) software environment where the model is further linked with Matlab/Simulink for control purposes. The lifting...
