The Intelligent Lighting System changes the luminances for individual lights based on a self-distribution algorithm. It learns the influence of lights on illuminance sensors through regression analysis and controls the lighting to achieve the required illuminance in the required places. When the numbers of lights and illuminance sensors increase, however, an error in the regression coefficient becomes larger; accordingly, the influence of the lights on illuminance sensors may not be correctly estimated. To solve this problem, this study proposes a method for correcting the results of the learning of the influence of the lights on illuminance sensors by estimating the illuminance sensor positions. With the proposed method, we estimate the illuminance sensor positions and determine the distances between the individual lights and illuminance sensors to correct the results of the learning according to the distances. The method proposed in this study enables the illuminance sensor positions to be estimated with an error of less than 1 m. Moreover, the method makes it possible to appropriately control lighting luminance compared with conventional method, achieving an improvement in illuminance convergence speed as well as a 5% reduction in power consumption.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121791719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead guaranteeing global stability the so designed controllers work smoothly in a bounded region of operation. Both the limits of this region as well as the performance of the controller depends on the basic component of the RFPT-based design, i.e. on the properties of a sigmoid function that can be defined in various manners. In this case a special, easily parameterizable sigmoid was chosen that is widely used in the daily engineering practice, a truncated linear function. This function has a single parameter, its slope, that in the same time determines the width of the window within which the adaptive nature of the controller is guaranteed. It was found that by varying this parameter either the precision of the controller or the frequency of the necessary adaptive tuning can be improved. This statement is substantiated by simulations.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122901366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We integrate the resulting planner method with various local planner strategies for kinematically constrained vehicles, and compare the sizes of the roadmaps needed to solve a problem with bug traps for several vehicle models, one of which is reversible and serves as a base-line. Finally, we suggest directions of improvement of the algorithm based on simulation results.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122356967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second one is the “Normal” class, which measures and transmits environmental data (eg. temperature). For the performance evaluation of the wireless transmission we study and compare two cases: In the first model the RF transmission possibility will be available randomly for the sensor nodes (Non Controlled case) and in the second model the RF transmission requests coming from the emergency class, will access the wireless channel immediately (Controlled case).
