The main motivation is the comparison among a nonlinear predictive control structure previously developed (based on first principle equations) with a predictive control whose prediction model is an artificial neural network. Particular emphasis is given on how to tune the neural network to gain good closed-loop performance. Twenty-one different networks are designed and tuned in order to correlate their closed-loop performance with the type and length of training data set, for building energy efficiency applications. Finally, a linear time-variant predictive control is given, obtained as analytical linearization along the future system trajectory, of the nonlinear equations of the neural network model. The goal is to add to the comparison a low computational burden (linear controller) still derived from nonlinear data-driven methods.","PeriodicalId":325778,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"382 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115212664","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}

An efficient solution we take is to employ a robot equipped with a camera to perform inspection task. However, automatic crack detection for airport runway is challenging, as the runway surface is seriously polluted by fuel stain and aircraft wheel mark, and the cracks need to be detected luare usually extremely thin. Thus, we propose a CNN model, AggCrack, to perform the crack detection task. AggCrack adopts an innovative semantic-level attention mechanism on the edges of the targets to focus the model on crucial features, and combines edge information and semantic segmentation for more accurate crack detection. We have implemented the algorithm and have it extensively tested on an airport runway dataset collected by our inspection robot from four different airport runways. Compared with four existing deep learning methods, experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms all counterparts. Specifically, it achieves the Precision, Recall and F1-measure at 84.24%, 70.36% and 76.68%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":325778,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115679486","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}

However, research on obtaining network measures is still scarce and difficult. Majority of previous research mainly applies the traditional simulation method to solve this problem. But in fact, the result of such traditional simulation methods may suffer from many shortcomings. To solve this problem, we adopt the max-plus method to the telecommunication system and establish simulation processes, inspired by the success of using max-plus algebra on the simulation of the production line. In this paper, we focus on the simulation of an origin-destination flow telecommunication system. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are verified by comparative simulation with other simulation methods. On the premise of ensuring the accuracy of simulation, our method performs 20 times faster than traditional event scheduling method. Moreover, we analyze simulation results under different scheduling strategies to illustrate the accuracy of the simulation.","PeriodicalId":325778,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"234 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123118232","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}

To adapt to dynamic interactive situations, the social value orientation of interacting drivers is estimated on-line, while the right of way and tentative merging attempts are further integrated to improve the social-awareness of the decision model. A drone dataset of naturalistic driving is built to calibrate and validate the model effectiveness. Simulator experiments with drivers in the loop further show that the model can improve the safety and success rate in ramp merging.","PeriodicalId":325778,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121793778","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}

A high-speed camera and image analysis were used to capture the spray painting and identify the values of the parameters. Using the developed model, we analyzed the change in the film thickness distribution for the scene of painting on a flat plate in the vertical direction.

PdM has become a top priority as it can optimize tool utility. The so-called iFA system platform, realized by integrating several intelligent services including Intelligent Predictive Maintenance (IPM), was proposed to accomplish the goal of Zero-Defect Manufacturing. However, the current algorithm in IPM did not provide a feasible aging feature extraction procedure. Thus, once the aging features cannot be acquired adequately, the monitoring accuracy will become poor. To remedy the above-mentioned problem, the automated Aging Feature Extraction Scheme (AFES) is proposed in this paper to perform analysis of process data for remote health prediction. This automated AFES is packed as an application module and plugged in the cyber physical agent of iFA. The proposed architecture, which integrates iFA, Resource Agent (RA), message broker, and automated Production System, is also designed to effectively monitor tool health status and predict the remaining useful life via the automated AFES. The experimental results indicate that the proposed architecture can not only enhance the performance of the IPM algorithm, but also feed-back the tool health indexes to RA via comprehensive system integration, such that the goal of optimized/maximum OEE can be accomplished. This work was submitted alongside another paper to CASE2022, conceptualizing a data exchange infrastructure and its impact on dependability characteristics of the technical process.","PeriodicalId":325778,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 18th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125817808","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}
