In the presented work we predict the life expectancy of multi-part railway fail-safe signaling systems. The monitored electronic track circuits detect train locations and movement in real time, and issue alerts and warnings to prevent collisions. Based on 10 years of failure reports from the manufacturer of systems used by Railway Infrastructure Administration in the Czech Republic, we establish estimates...
Multi-agent and holonic systems have been successfully investigated for several decades; nevertheless, their real industrial applications are still rare. This paper contributes to their utilization in practice. It discusses possibilities for integration and deployment of such systems into standard or legacy automation systems, which are distributed and should satisfy common global goals. These requirements...
Integration of simulators, data sources, optimizers and other tools is discussed in this paper. More exacting requirements on the quality of the plant operation together with environmental limits and lowering energy intensity bring more complex control systems into the everyday life. When controlling the complex multi-variable systems usually variety of control techniques can be applied in all layers...
