In this paper we discuss delay estimation in time-delay systems. In the Introduction a short overview is given of some existing estimation techniques as well as identifiability studies. In the following sections we propose several algorithms for the delay identification based on variable structure observers.

In this paper, time delay estimation using the maximum likelihood principle is addressed for the multipath exploitation problem, and the corresponding Cramér-Rao bounds are derived. A single wideband radar, and a target in a known reflecting geometry are assumed. If the multipath is indeed detectable and resolvable, it is shown here that multipath exploitation, firstly, permits estimating the a...

In this paper, we propose a delay time estimation algorithm for Petri net models of signaling pathways based on experimental data. Firstly, we model signaling pathways (we use the example of ErbB4 receptor signaling pathway) with discrete Petri nets. Then, we propose a delay time estimation algorithm for Petri net models with experimental data, and assign estimated delay times to a model to be ...

project participants are becoming more aware of the high costs and risks associated with delay claims and their litigation. among delays, weather delay has an important role in projects performed in severe environmental conditions. this research is the extension of delay analysis techniques by approving analysis of weather delays using fuzzy logic. at the presented technique, first using a fuzz...

This paper addresses the problem of acoustic source localization in shallow water environment commonly dominated by impulsive noise and multipath phenomenon. Traditionally acoustic source localization with sensors spaced several wavelengths apart involves Time Delay Estimation (TDE) via Generalized Cross-Correlation Phase Transform (GCCPHAT). However multipath signals and impulsive noise in und...

The accuracy of the time delay estimation using the direct correlation technique has been theoretically calculated. The random errors of the time delay estimation in digital ultrasonic measurement systems have been studied. The techniques for the time-offlight (ToF) estimation have been discussed. The theoretical equations for analog and discrete case are presented. Numerical simulation has bee...

this article proposes a direct method for solving three types of integral equations with time delay. by using operational matrix of integration, integral equations can be reduced to a linear lower triangular system which can be directly solved by forward substitution. numerical examples shows that the proposed scheme have a suitable degree of accuracy.

A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...
