Original scientific paper After large scale blackout, there may be more than one black-start unit in power system. A rational subsystem partitioning restoration scheme could speed up the entire system restoration procedure and promote restoration reliability. In the paper, a subsystem partitioning strategy considering the restoration reliability is proposed. The calculation of nodes restoration...

in this context, a novel structure has been proposed for simple differential evolutionary (de) algorithm to solve optimal recloser placement. for this, an operator is added to de algorithm to adapt concept of the problem. other contribution of this work is formulating a novel objective function. the proposed objective function has been formulated to improve four reliability indices which consis...

Bus bunching is an instability problem where buses operating on high-frequency public transport lines arrive at stops in bunches. This work unveils that bus-following models can be used to design bus-to-bus cooperative control strategies and mitigate bunching. The use of avoids the explicit modelling bus-stops, which would render resulting discrete, with events occurring arbitrary time interval...

Many real-world learning and classification problems involve mastering subtle and noisy distinctions. For example, predicting the winner of a baseball game is challenging due to numerous interactions and inherent noise in outcomes. One common approach in machine learning to reduce overfitting and boost performance (i.e., generalization) on novel test items is to use regularization methods that ...

In this paper we focus on computational aspects of network reliability importance measure evaluation. It is a well known fact that most network reliability problems are NP-hard and therefore there is a significant gap between theoretical analysis and the ability to compute different reliability parameters for large or even moderate networks. In this paper we present two very efficient combinato...

Real-time bus arrival information systems at transit stops can be useful to passengers for efficient trip planning and reducing waiting times. The accuracy of such systems depends upon the ability of the model to account for variations in the data series and to adjust according to changing traffic conditions. Many of the existing studies on passenger information systems have modeled the system ...

In Deep-submicron (DSM) systems, the crosstalk effect on onchip data buses and interconnects dictates the overall performance and reliability of the highly integrated systems. In many digital processors and SoC the reliable transfer of the information over the data bus is crucial for the proper operation of a particular system. Hence ECC techniques are used on data buses for reliable transfer o...
