In this paper, we present a driver-automation system for providing brake assistance to the driver using the concepts of various levels of intervention. The system offers potential for further development and integration into main stream cars using by-wire technology, both from passenger safety and system usability perspectives. The criticality of the situation of a potential crash is estimated using...
One of the general objectives of visual surveillance is to recognise abnormal activities from images. Current object detection/tracking techniques cannot directly classify such activities as fighting and snatching, while they reliably recognise primitive actions, such as walking and running. We represent each target activity as ground, weighted and undirected trees, Markov logic networks (MLNs), starting...
This paper describes WECC's (formerly WSCC) experience in generator testing and model validation. WSCC introduced a generator testing requirement following failure of simulations to reproduce events that occurred in the summer of 1996 in the Western Interconnection. The benefits of generator testing have been indisputable. The generator model data has been improved significantly in many cases. It...
Sets of Pairs of Functions to be Distinguished (SPFD) is a functional flexibility representation method that was recently introduced in the logic synthesis domain, and promises superiority in exploring the flexibility offered by a design over all previous representation methods. In this work, we illustrate how the SPFD of a particular wire reveals information regarding the number of potential transient...
This paper summarizes the key results of testing work performed by three organizations (EPRI, SCE, and BPA) on a total of twenty seven air conditioning units in order to better understand and thus characterize their behavior for power system simulations. The diversity of the tested air conditioner units included sizes (tonnage), compressor technology (reciprocating and scroll), type of refrigerant...
This paper discusses the development of a load component database for household appliances and office equipment. To develop more accurate load models at both the transmission and distribution levels, a better understanding of the behaviors of home appliances and office equipment associated with the variations of the power system voltage becomes more and more critical. The Bonneville Power Administration...
