One problem of modelling hybrid systems with existing notations of hybrid automata is that there is no modular structure in the model. We introduce an extended modelling notation which allows the modelling of a system as a hierarchical structure of modules. The modules are capable of communicating through the elements of an explicitly defined interface. The interface consists of signals and var...

This paper describes a laboratory equipped for the teaching of realtime systems. The laboratory has been built around a Digital Model Railroad Platform and it allows the development of different control applications for educational purposes. Because of the platform is a limited resource and the students can not test their programs simultaneously, a railroad platform simulator has been developed...

We conducted a carcass census of Mongolian gazelles (Procapra gutturosa) along the Trans-Mongolian railroad in June 2005. We counted 241 gazelles that had died within the previous 12 months. Carcass numbers were greater on the southwestern side in the northern 3 zones, but we found carcasses only on the northeastern side in the southernmost zone. It suggests that impact of the railroad was stro...

Abstract: This study is carried out to describe the behaviour of vehicles flow on the road, in the presence of blocking effects. A non-linear three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to describe vehicles flow on the road. The study classify total vehicles population on the road into three compartments as Free – Slow – Released vehicles. The formulated model is well-po...

Abstract The capacitor compensation circuit of the traction substation is affected by high-harmonics and differential voltage protection frequently mal-operation, which causes serious disturbance to railroad transportation order. In this paper, effect parasitic inductance banks parameter characteristics under high harmonics are analyzed establishing high-frequency structure banks. Then, a fitti...

The distributed blocking flow shop scheduling problem (DBFSP) allows modeling the scheduling process in companies with more than one factory. It configures production systems as flow shop lines where the blocking constraint must be considered. To the best of our knowledge, this variant of the distributed permutation flow shop scheduling problem has not been studied. In this working paper, we sh...

Systems are getting more and more complex and usually involve many stakeholders. Stakeholders are concerned by different aspects of the system, potentially supported by multiple Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs). The DSMLs are usually different not only in their syntax but also in their behavioral semantics. In order to provide simulation and/or verification of the overall system, it i...
