In this paper we propose modified Banker's algorithm for routing and scheduling in multi-AGV systems. A mission path, determined by string algebra is executed in a way that some unsafe states are allowed in order to achieve better utilization of vehicles. Moreover, a method for splitting a mission path is proposed so that number of resources (arcs) needed for mission execution is gradually reduced which provides less restrictions on availability vector, thus allowing more traveling space for other vehicles. Results shown at the end of the paper demonstrate strength of the proposed method compared with standard Banker's algorithm.

In this paper we present a new shape memory alloys (SMAdasias) device which designed for people with eye sight disabilities. Using the accessory along with a computer graphic user interface, sightless people could percept and interact with computer analogous to a normal person. The major contribution of the proposed method is resembling of human perception using constructed SMApsilas device along with a HMI monitor. The proposed plan could also be employed extensively for tele-presence applications.

The main contribution of this paper is the implementation and experimental evaluation of thee radio power control algorithms for wireless sensor networks. We illustrate the necessity of lightweight radio power control algorithms for the deployment of wireless sensor networks in realistic situations. Furthermore, based on a simple loss model, we develop an algorithm that optimizes the transmit power while guaranteeing a desired packet error probability. The simple power control strategy is also compared with two other strategies in experiments using Tmote Sky sensor nodes. A component-based software implementation in the Contiki operating system is used.

This paper presents a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm (SLAM) by using a new 3D sensor namely the photonic mixer devices (PMD). The PMD camera enables 3D image grabbing within a few milliseconds and gives an important impulse in visual 3D sensing. This camera is capable of capturing reliable depth images directly in real-time. The PMD is also compact and affordable, which makes it attractive for versatile applications including surveillance and computer vision. However, the PMD based device has still limited resolution and provides only gray scale information. To achieve the virtual geometric data, the rather new 3D PMD and 2D RGB color cameras are combined to generate visually realistic 3D maps. Visual input from the 2D camera not only delivers high resolution texture data but also enables the mobile robot to enhance the 3D data calculated from the range output of the PMD camera. Precision robot locomotion is implemented in order to register the 3D geometric data simultaneously.

This paper deals with the problem of a human behavior based Microscopic Traffic Model. In this work, a fuzzified two point model is implemented for modeling the low level control behavior and a Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making is implemented for modeling the high level control actions of the driver. As a result, different influential parameters such as the driver's age, mood, sex, etc. may be easily implemented in to the model and therefore guarantee a more natural outcome. This model can be used in automatically guided vehicles as a reference for natural driver behavior of individuals. The simulation results illustrate and verify the validity of the model.

The paper offers an efficient method for simulation of multiple catastrophic faults in AC circuits. The faulty elements are either open circuits or short circuits. The method is based on the well known Householder formula. The main achievement of the paper is a systematic method for performing the simulation of all combinations of the multiple catastrophic faults. The method includes two new procedures, enabling us to find very efficiently the node impedance matrix in the nominal circuit and inversions of some matrices corresponding to different fault combinations. The procedures are the crucial point of this approach and make it very efficient. Consequently the amount of computing power needed to carry out all the simulations is significantly reduced. A numerical example is provided.

The paper is focused on the analysis of diode-transistor circuits having multiple DC solutions considering the thermal behavior of the chip. A feedback between the power dissipated inside the chip and temperature which affects the circuit parameters and consequently the solutions is taken into account. The paper extends some earlier results and offers an efficient algorithm for tracing the characteristic expressing an output signal in terms of the ambient temperature with the thermal constraint of the chip. The characteristic enable us to find all the DC solutions, allowing the thermal behavior of the chip, at different ambient temperatures. Two numerical examples illustrate the proposed approach.
