Therefore some new solutions must be found which are potentially able to change the traffic situation efficiently. Fuzzy control approach is a rule-based methodology for controlling systems with complicated behavior. The approach, however, has proved to work well with problems such as the one we face here. Studying traffic data during different time intervals and clustering them into similar groups and finally extracting the traffic patterns in the form of some fuzzy sets are necessary for this study. The current study uses an agent-based modeling of an urban traffic network in order to gather data and construct the corresponding matrices. Then a two-stage clustering algorithm based on a fuzzy graph approach is implemented and the mobility patterns are extracted finally in order to provide the needs for a fuzzy control system to be applied. The results show a promising sight of the alterations made for the methodology used for clustering.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134457295","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}

This dryer solves the lack of information about the dried problem that it is the major problem of other dryers. Therefore the intelligent dryer control system has three input variables (temperature, humidity and weight) and two outputs variables (heater and fan voltage). The dynamic model of the product (wet clothes, etc.) is unknown and nonlinear. Therefore a controller is designed and implemented based on fuzzy logic. The 660W heater increases the temperature and the fan discharges the moisturized air. System control works by ATMEGA micro-controller. After putting the product inside the dryer, the initial weight is measured and the heater is turned on. With heat production, the humidity of the product diminishes. This humidity is vented with the fan and the drying process is continued until the product is completely dried. Several tests are performed in the implemented system and system performance is evaluated carefully.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122498360","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}

In order to implement this approach an experimental setup is prepared which consists of a virtual slave robot, a Phantom Omni haptic device as master robot and TCP/IP communication channel. Implementation details and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The capsubot is an underactuated nonlinear dynamics system which is driven by an internal impact force and friction. Here, motion mechanism of the capsubot is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the aim is to design an optimal controller minimizing energy consumption. In the second one, optimization is not an objective and instead a four-step strategy for inner mass of the capsubot is proposed. Then based on the proposed motion strategy, a trajectory profile is given. Using this trajectory profile, the capsubot moves in a desired direction. To evaluate the performance of the proposed control scheme, a comparative study has been performed by means of simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is promising as compared to the Open-Loop Control (OLC) approach which widely used in the literature for control of the capsubot.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126850881","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}
