Locator and Sensor Placement for Automated Coordinate Checking Fixtures

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks

Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

Sensor placement for leak monitoring

The goal of this chapter is to review recent developments on sensor placement for fault diagnosis in drinking water networks. Solving a sensor placement problem for fault diagnosis entails the evaluation of the diagnosis performance of a monitoring system for a certain sensor configuration. In model-based fault diagnosis the monitoring system is built upon a set of consistency indicators, which...

Cost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
