A general review of the socio-economic impact of the intelligent transport system (ITS) is presented with a case study to demonstrate the data envelopment analysis method. Cost-benefit analyses are still the dominant method for evaluating ITS and other transport engineering projects, while cost effe...

Aiming at three-passive-sensor location system, a generalized 3-dimension (3-D) assignment model is constructed based on property information, and a multi-target programming model is proposed based on direction-finding and property fusion information. The multi-target programming model is transforme...

Reinforcement learning has been widely used for mobile robot learning and control. Some progress of this kind of approaches is surveyed and argued in a new way which emphasizes on different levels of algorithms according to different complexity of tasks. The central conjecture is that approaches whi...

The previous particle swarm optimizers lack direct mechanism to prevent particles beyond predefined search space, which results in invalid solutions in some special cases. A momentum factor is introduced into the original particle swarm optimizer to resolve this problem. Furthermore, in order to acc...

Computational complexity of complex system multiple fault diagnosis is a puzzle at all times. Based on the wellknown Mozetic, s approach, a novel hierarchical model-based diagnosis methodology is put forward for improving efficiency of multi-fault recognition and localization. Structural abstraction...
