improvement in braking performance and vehicle stability can be achieved through the use of braking systems whose brake force distribution is variable. electronic braking force distribution has an important and serious role in the vehicle stopping distance and stability. in this paper a new approach will be presented to achieve the braking force distribution strategy for articulated vehicles. f...

The memory-type control charts, such as EWMA and CUSUM, are powerful tools for detecting small quality changes in univariate and multivariate processes. Many papers on economic design of these control charts use the formula proposed by Lorenzen and Vance (1986) [Lorenzen, T. J., & Vance, L. C. (1986). The economic design of control charts: A unified approach. Technometrics, 28(1), 3-10, DOI: 10...

Simulation software can be an effective tool to analyze and optimize process based operations. This abstract details the implementation of a warehouse simulation using the Simcad Pro dynamic simulation environment and its integrated data connectivity. The validated simulation model is then transformed to a real-time system providing live visibility, tracking, and real-time optimization of the w...

We propose a simulation based algorithm for optimizing the average reward in a Markov Reward Process that depends on a set of parameters As a special case the method applies to Markov Decision Processes where optimization takes place within a parametrized set of policies The algorithm involves the simulation of a single sample path and can be implemented on line A convergence result with probab...

the simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. in this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. the effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. the results show signi...
