The road environment recognition using embedded technologies has been researched intensively recently. Several papers deal with the detection of the urban road environment-type (RET), such as downtown, residential area, and business/industrial area. These RETs can characterize the road environment around an ego-car. A RET detection approach taking into account relevant traffic signs (TSs) that are visible from the ego-car – along its route – was also proposed. It was assumed that the TS data, namely the type and the location of each detected TS along the route, was made available for the purpose by an on-board TS recognition system (TSR). The TS data is constantly updated, aggregated and evaluated in a multi-scale manner by a RET detection system, so one can produce a probability series of occurrence of each TS type with respect to each of the considered urban RETs. In the present paper, we develop a heuristic for dynamic RET detection using fuzzy similarities on a special graph. We also propose the generic process of this approach, which will be the subject of further development and testing.

Indoor positioning systems (IPS) allow assets on the shop-floor to be tracked with a relatively high accuracy. In order to obtain the useful, underlying production information, smart and fast processing algorithms are needed, as IPSs produce an immense amount of data in a very short period. In the paper, a novel approach is presented that offers the near real-time calculation of assembly times, based on the dynamically streamed spatial data stream of assets. The approach relies on probabilistic analytic models, respecting the needs of manufacturing and operations management. The efficiency of the results is presented through an industry-related application case.

The amount of simulation experimentation that can be performed in a project can be restricted by time, especially if a model takes a long time to simulate and many replications are required. Cloud Computing presents an attractive proposition to speeding up, or extending, simulation experimentation as computing resources can be hired on demand rather than having to invest in costly infrastructure. However, it is not common practice for simulation users to take advantage of this and, arguably, rather than speeding up simulation experimentation users tend to make compromises by using unnecessary model simplification techniques. This may be due to a lack of awareness of what Cloud Computing can offer. Based on several years' experience of innovation in this area, this article presents our experiences in developing Cloud Computing applications for simulation experimentation and discusses what future innovations might be created for the widespread benefit of our simulation community.

Digital analytics tools have been at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing industry in recent years. To keep pace with the demands of industrial digitization, companies seek opportunities to streamline processes and enhance overall efficacy, opting to replace conventional engineering tools with data-driven models. In a high-tech factory, detailed data is collected about the products, processes, and assets in near-real time, providing a basis to build trustworthy analytical models. In this paper, a novel discrete-event simulation (DES) model is proposed for the detailed representation of a complex shop-floor logistics system, employing automated robotic vehicles (AGV). The simulation model is applied to test new AGV management policies, involving both vehicle capacity planning and dispatching decisions. In order to illustrate the usefulness of the model and the effectiveness of the selected policy, numerical results of a case-study are presented, in which the selected policy was realized in a real manufacturing environment.

The paper studies binary classification and aims at estimating the underlying regression function which is the conditional expectation of the class labels given the inputs. The regression function is the key component of the Bayes optimal classifier, moreover, besides providing optimal predictions, it can also assess the risk of misclassification. We aim at building non-asymptotic confidence regions for the regression function and suggest three kernel-based semi-parametric resampling methods. All of them guarantee confidence regions with exact coverage probabilities and they are strongly consistent.
Feed-forward networks can be interpreted as mappings with linear decision surfaces at the level of the last layer. We investigate how the tangent space of the network can be exploited to refine the decision in case of...
