Abstract In this study, we developed a vehicle allocation model that can meet the requirements and cost best, data related to number of calls in each zone, variability required respond different types calls. First, several indicators are extracted quantify advantages station construction hierarchical analysis method TOPSIS used score then select stations need be built according score. Subsequen...

The inertial forces acting on operators of joystick controlled machinery in moving vehicles can produce unwanted control signals through the joystick. These forces tend to deteriorate continuous tracking performance and further, when the machinery in control is the vehicle itself, they may lead to unstable oscillations that jeopardize that vehicle’s safe operation. In this paper, we propose the...

This pilot study of a school-based telepractice pilot project in a rural, remote county of North Carolina investigated the satisfaction of parents/caregivers, teachers, and administrators with a year-long telespeech therapy program delivered by a university clinic. Upon completion of the almost year-long project, a satisfaction survey incorporating a 5-point equal-appearing Likert scale (1= str...

Steer-by-wire is the electrical steering systems on vehicles that are expected with the development of an optimal control system can improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle. This paper aims to optimize the control systems, namely Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control on the vehicle steering system using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (IC...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...
