Optimal state-feedback control under sparsity and delay constraints

This paper presents the solution to a general decentralized state-feedback problem, in which the plant and controller must satisfy the same combination of delay constraints and sparsity constraints. The control problem is decomposed into independent subproblems, which are solved by dynamic programming. In special cases with only sparsity or only delay constraints, the controller reduces to existin

Tracking and Reconstruction of Vehicles for Accurate Position Estimation

To improve traffic safety it is important to evaluate the safety of roads and intersections. Today this requires a large amount of manual labor so an automated system using cameras would be very beneficial. We focus on the geometric part of the problem, that is, how to get accurate three-dimensional data from images of a road or an intersection. This is essential in order to correctly identify dif

Organising 8000 volunteers to observe foreign trucking operations - A novel, innovative approach using smartphones and social media

The deregulation of the European transport market has been a controversial topic, characterised by a lack of facts and figures on the actual impact of the regulations. Given the crucial importance of road freight transportation to European society, and the lack of figures and control of foreign vehicles operating domestically in other countries, the purpose of this paper is to present a novel, inn

Survey on Safety Evidence Change Impact Analysis in Practice: Detailed Description and Analysis

Critical systems must comply with safety standards in many application domains. This involves gathering safety evidence in the form of artefacts such as safety analyses, system specifications, and testing results. These artefacts can evolve during a system’s lifecycle, and impact analysis might be necessary to guarantee that system safety and compliance are not jeopardised. Although extensive rese

Geometry of meaning : semantics based on conceptual spaces

In The Geometry of Meaning, Peter Gärdenfors proposes a theory of semantics that bridges cognitive science and linguistics and shows how theories of cognitive processes, in particular concept formation, can be exploited in a general semantic model. He argues that our minds organize the information involved in communicative acts in a format that can be modeled in geometric or topological terms—in w
