The challenge of human factor influence for analyzing the reliability and safety of car transportation is discussed. An analysis of the density and the kind of use among the drivers in different regions and seasons of the year is made. The possibilities to detect the driver falling into a relaxant, somnolent or micro-sleep stage by the use of suitable combination of secondary factors are investigated. The operation of the driver in the moving car is an example of very complicated interaction between several very heterogeneous systems.

In order to support multimedia communication, it is necessary to develop routing algorithms that make decisions based on multiple Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. This is because new services such as video on demand and remote meeting systems have multiple QoS requirements. However, the problem of QoS routing is difficult because finding a feasible route with two independent path constraints is NP-complete problem. Also, QoS routing algorithms for broadband networks must be adaptive, flexible, and intelligent for efficient network management. In this paper, we propose a multi-purpose optimization method for QoS routing based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). The simulation results show that the proposed method has a good performance and therefore is a promising method for QoS routing.

Tangible agent (TA) is a new medium that communicates the senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste of human to computer. Intelligent behavior is a key property to realize the agent because it must interact with human to grasp all the information. We have adopted a behavior-based approach for high-level behaviors such as navigation of office, conversation with human, and cleaning of room. Behavior-based method can control unexpected situation without prior knowledge and generate high-level behavior with behavior selection. However, TA requires improvements of behavior selection architecture for better communication with human. In this paper, we propose an intelligent behavior selection architecture that contains interferencing, learning and planning capability to TA. In this paper, overview of technical details and experimental results on physical device (Khepera robot) are presented. Preliminary results show the possibility of the proposed behavior selection for TA.

A behavior-based control and learning architecture is proposed, where reinforcement learning is applied to learn proper associations between stimulus and response by using two types of memory called as short Term Memory and Long Term Memory. In particular, to cope with delayed-reward problem, a knowledge-propagation (KP) method is proposed, where well-designed or well-trained S-R(stimulus-response) associations for low-level sensors are utilized to learn new S-R associations for high-level sensors, in case that those S-R associations require same objective such as obstacle avoidance. To show the validity of our proposed KP method, comparative experiments are performed for the cases that:(1) only a delayed reward is used, (2) some of S-R pairs are preprogrammed, (3) immediate reward is possible, and (4) our KP method is applied.

An intelligent lumber grading system was developed to provide a new way for estimating the strength of a board by posing the estimation problem as an empirical learning problem. This system processed the X-ray image, extracted geometric features (of 1000 boards that eventually underwent destructive strength testing), and predicted the strength of the lumber by using a neural network. The X-ray image was passed through a threshold filter to separate the knots based on the fact that a denser knot produces a local maximum (as a rounded protrusion in an otherwise almost flat density surface) of the X-ray image. Each knot was modeled by a three-dimensional-cone with seven parameters. Information on all the detected knots such as volume, and knot-area-ratio were fed to a processor to generate 16 geometrical features (such as; the average of knot area ratio, and the number of knots detected in each board), which characterize each board. Then by using back-propagation as the training method, cross correlation as the measure of accuracy, and actual strength of a thousand boards as the empirical data set, a neural network was trained to estimate the strength of each board. The learning system consisted of three layers, with 1, 5, 16 neurons in output, hidden and input layer respectively. Ten-fold cross validation was used to produce an unbiased accuracy of the estimation problem. The learning and testing sets comprised of 900 and 100 boards respectively. By repeating the learning and testing for ten times and averaging the results, a coefficient of determination of 0.4059 was reached in this study for using X-ray images alone. The same methodology was applied to MOE (modulus of elasticity) and a coefficient of determination of 0.56 was reached. The results were improved by fusing the X-ray image and MOE using a learning system consisting of three layers, with 1, 5, 40 neurons in output, hidden and input layer respectively. Ten-Fold cross validation resulted in a coefficient o

This paper is concerned with an application study of model-based fault detection method to a ship propulsion system. When modeling the object system, Quasi-ARMAX model with multi-model form is used. In this model, the system non-linearity is incorporated into model parameters by using non-linear non-parametric models (NNMs). Kullback discrimination Information (KDI) is introduced as fault detection index to evaluate the distortion in identified model, which is caused by a fault. The effectiveness of the method is verified through simulation studies on the ship propulsion system.
