Vehicular travel is increasing throughout the world, particularly in large urban areas. Therefore the need arises for simulating and optimizing traffic control algorithms to better accommodate this increasing demand. In this paper we study the simulation and optimization of traffic light controllers in a city and present an adaptive optimization algorithm based on reinforcement learning. We hav...

Intelligent monitoring and control involves observing and guiding the behavior of a physical system toward some objective, with real-time constraints on the utility of particular actions. Generic functional requirements for this task include: integration of perception, reasoning , and action; integration of multiple reasoning activities; reasoning about complex, time-varying systems; coordinati...

Flight control systems can benefit by being designed to emulate functions of natural intelligence. Intelligent control functions fall in three categories. Declarative actions involve decision making, providing models for system monitoring , goal planning, and systemlscenario identification. Procedural actions concern skilled behavior and have parallels in guidance, navigation, and adaptation. R...

The existing technology of carbon dioxide regulation methods are incomplete and time consuming. It is difficult to manage and not environmentally friendly. Carbon dioxide regulation systems in greenhouse can only set carbon density thresholds relying on human experience. They cannot meet the practical requirements of the carbon dioxide density accurately; hence result in negative effects on cro...

The main challenge facing the oil industry is to reduce development costs while accelerating recovery with maximizing reserves. One of the key enabling technologies in this area is intelligent well completions. Intelligent well technology (IWT) is a relatively new technology that has been adopted by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Intelligent well completions emp...

The conventional passive lightning protection mode depending on fixed lightning rods, overhead grounded wires, arresters and SPDs couldn’t fit for the demand in practice gradually. Therefore, it is necessary to explore an available and optional way that could enhance and improve them. Based on Intelligent Control Technology and combined with lightning detection, the Active Lightning Protection ...
