This paper describes a practical dynamic route planning method using real road maps in a wide area. The maps include traffic signals, road classes, and the number of lanes. The proposed solution is using a genetic algorithm adopting viral infection. The method is to use viruses as domain specific knowledge. A part of an arterial road is regarded as a virus. A population of viruses is generated ...

Residential development in fire-prone wildlands is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Community-based evacuation planning in many areas is an emerging need. In this paper we present a method for using microscopic traffic simulation to develop and test neighborhood evacuation plans in the urban ^wildland interface. The method allows an analyst to map the subneighborhood variation in household e...

A report on page 195 by BekkerJensen et al. maps out the damage-induced rearrangement of proteins involved in repairing doublestranded DNA breaks (DSBs). The map, the authors hope, will help scientists assign functions to future putative damageresponsive proteins. Treatments such as ionizing radiation (and chemotherapy) that induce DSBs lead to the accumulation of nuclear foci containing repair...

In this paper, a novel search graph approach has been developed to find a free-collision path in a complicated unknown environment. This algorithm gives the possibility to consider some constraints based on the real world path as in road or factory environments. The main feature of the proposed approach is it’s capability to deal with unknown environments. To assess the capability of this algor...

Researchers in the organizational sciences and in the social and behavioral sciences in general encounter a host of problems as they seek to describe, predict, and understand behavior. The procedures we use to measure and analyze behavior are constantly improving as a result of the efforts of psychometricians and applied statisticians, among others. Many of the techniques discussed in this book...

This paper presents a technique, Probabilistic Road Map (PRM) planning and its application to aircraft for rapidly generating routes using aggressive maneuvers to avoid incoming munitions, terrain, and other aircraft while trying to maintain other mission objectives. The technique was applied to a high fidelity simulation and shown to always generate correct routes within its 0.1 seconds deadli...

To many geographic systems (GIS) application scheme such as urban planning and navigation, updating road network database is critical problem. Rapidly changing urban environments accelerate the need for frequent updates or revisions of road network databases. With the advent of high-resolution satellite images, there has been a resurgence of research interest in road extraction techniques. Howe...

in this paper we present a new method for tool-path generation and adaptive interpolation for a three-axis cnc milling machine. this method satisfied the force and / or the error conditions by using a variable-direction variable-feedrate strategy based on maximum feedrate map. the proposed adaptive interpolator modifies the cutting path and the moving direction according to the actual instantan...
