This article presents some principles for selfmaintenance in an on-board architecture that embeds on-line active diagnosis. The objective of active diagnosis is to find an action plan that refines the diagnosis without radically changing the mission plan. This leads to the definition of a planning problem that relies on an active diagnoser. According to a decision criterion, the aim is then to ...

A novel active-vision system for 3-D object recognition was developed. The vision system combines object pre-marking and active sensing. Therein, an object is modeled by a few of its 2-D perspective (standard) views, each with a corresponding viewing axis defined by a marker placed on the object. The operation of the active-vision system is characterized by its off-line planning and on-line rec...

This study presents a dynamic way in a DG planning problem instead of the last static or pseudo-dynamic planning point of views. A new way in modeling the DG units’ output power and the load uncertainties based on the probability rules is proposed in this paper. A sensitivity analysis on the stochastic nature of the electricity price and global fuel price is carried out through a proposed model...

The problem of robust line planning requests for a set of origin-destination paths (lines) along with their frequencies in an underlying railway network infrastructure, which are robust to fluctuations of real-time parameters of the solution. In this work, we investigate a variant of robust line planning stemming from recent regulations in the railway sector that introduce competition and free ...

It is widely agreed that the rate of change in many industries is faster than ever before. Strategic decisions are, in addition to top management plans, made on a day-to-day basis closer to the firms markets. In order for the decisions made by individual employees to be strategically coherent it is necessary that the employees develop a shared understanding of some of the basic assumptions and ...

Abstract. We present a game-theoretic model for the line planning problem in public transportation, in which each line acts as player and aims to minimize a cost function which is related to the traffic along its edges. We analyze the model and in particular show that a potential function exists. Based on this result, we present a method for calculating equilibria and present first numerical re...
