A diagnostic system was setup to test the ferroelectric micro-plasma thruster(FMPT). The V-I characteristic of the FMPT was measured. The optical spectrum of microplasma generated in FMPT was obtained. Additionally, the electron temperature has been found to be ∼3.43 eV from atomic Boltzmann plots of neutral Ag I lines.
This paper proposes a novel sliding mode based learning control for a class of interconnected systems. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modelling technique has been employed to model the interconnected subsystems. Then, based on the fuzzy models, sliding mode learning controllers have been developed to ensure that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable with good tracking performance...
Abnormal object detection and discrimisnation is a critical research area for vision-based surveillance systems. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the detection and discrimination of abnormal objects, such as abandoned and stolen objects. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages and three different filters. The three stages cooperate with each other using the feedforward model to enhance...
A traffic network of a city area is considered in this paper. This paper presents a linear program which is based on optimization from a purely mathematical point of view to solve the problem of optimizing city area traffic control. The phase sequence of each intersection is known. The identification of the optimal phase relationship between all intersections and duration for the signal phases are...
Previous experience has shown that transit responsive signal control has ability to reduce delay of buses in urban areas when compared to traditional fixed-time control at arterial signal progression. However, most of these experiences have focused primarily on the impact on buses or delay per person. This paper describes development and evaluation of transit passive priority with transit phase overlapped...
