Route Generating Algorithm Based on OpenSource Data to Predict the Energy Consumption of Different Vehicles
2015
This work presents an algorithm that can be used to generate a route, based on OpenSoure Data. The generated route considers different route conditions like speed limits, traffic information, traffic lights, wind, and topography. Based on a generated inner city and highway cycle it is shown why those conditions are important for the calculation of energy consumption, drive time and stop time.
A Novel Priority-Based Ambulance-to-Traffic Light Communication for Delay Reduction in Emergency Rescue Operations
2019
Rescue operations are very critical and sensitive. Only one-second delay could make a serious difference between life and death. Therefore, the delay in rescue operations must be reduced as much as possible. The siren signal can be used to warn other vehicles nearby the ambulance. However, it has no impact on the traffic lights, which is normally a main cause of delay in rescue operations. For this reason, many ambulances get stuck and experience long delay at the intersections, which should not happen by any means. To enhance the rescue operations, this paper proposes a novel Priority-based Ambulance-to-Traffic Light Communication (PATCom). PATCom allows information exchanging between traf…
An evolutionary approach to multi-objective scheduling of mixed model assembly lines
1999
In this paper a multi-objective genetic algorithm for the scheduling of a mixed model assembly line is proposed, pursuing the line stop time minimisation together with the component usage smoothing. Specific features of the developed GA are step by step random selection of diversified crossover and mutation operators, population control for the substitution of duplicate chromosomes, and in-process updating of GA control parameters. Three different formulation of the fitness function were been tested with some distinct line configurations.
