Bus transit travel time reliability evaluation based on automatic vehicle location data

In order to provide important parameters for schedule designing, decision-making bases for transit operation management and references for passengers traveling by bus, bus transit travel time reliability is analyzed and evaluated based on automatic vehicle location （AVL） data. Based on the statistical analysis of the bus transit travel time, six indices including the coefficient of variance, the width of travel time distribution, the mean commercial speed, the congestion frequency, the planning time index and the buffer time index are proposed. Moreover, a framework for evaluating bus transit travel time reliability is constructed. Finally, a case study on a certain bus route in Suzhou is conducted. Results show that the proposed evaluation index system is simple and intuitive, and it can effectively reflect the efficiency and stability of bus operations. And a distinguishing feature of bus transit travel time reliability is the temporal pattern. It varies across different time periods.

Guaranteed cost control of networked control systems under limited communication capacity and variable sampling

The problem of guaranteed cost control for the networked control systems(NCSs) with time-varying delays, time-varying sampling intervals and signals quantization was investigated, wherein the physical plant was continuous-time one, and the control input was discrete-time one. By using an input delay approach and a sector bound method, the network induced delays, quantization parameter and sampling intervals were presented in one framework in the case of the state and the control input by quantized in a logarithmic form. A novel Lyapunov function with discontinuity, which took full advantages of the NCS characteristic information, was exploited. In addition, it was shown that Lyapunov function decreased at the jump instants. Furthermore, the Leibniz-Newton formula and free-weighting matrix methods were used to obtain the guaranteed cost controller design conditions which were dependent on the NCS characteristic information. A numerical example was used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Corporate Social Responsibility： Internet as Communication Tool Towards Stakeholders

In a changing world, sustainable development is at the core of all conversations, included those of the companies. Corporate social responsibility （CSR） is mentioned in this context. This phenomenon requires interactions with stakeholders, therefore companies have to communicate on their sustainable actions. In order to do that, internet is a very relevant communication tool. Thanks to a content analysis and the scoring technique, this paper aims first to classify Belgian companies involved with corporate social responsibility which communicate a lot through the Internet. Secondly it will try to bring about a better understanding of the strategic elements on which companies have to set the focus in their communication strategies.

A real-time VLC to UART protocol conversion system

A real-time visible light communication(VLC) to universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter(UART) conversion system is made up of a transmitter with a light emitting diode(LED) and a receiver with a photodiode(PD), by which a VLC system is connected to traditional communication modes, and the data are transferred by wireless visible light. UART packets are converted to light packets by the modulation of a 10 k Hz on-off-keying(OOK) light signal, and the data losses in the transportation are avoided by the protection of a data buffer mechanism. The experimental results reveal that the real-time VLC to UART conversion system can provide a real-time VLC transmission way for two UART devices in not less than 10 m at a baud rate not less than 19 200 Bd with stable ambient lighting at the same time.

Chaos synchronization with dual-channel time-delayed couplings

While the significance of oscillator dynamics and coupling structure to synchronization behaviors has been well addressed in the literature, little attention has been paid to the possible influence of coupling functions. In the present paper, adopting the scheme of dual-channel time-delayed couplings, we investigate how the synchronization behaviors of networked chaotic oscillators are influenced by parameters in the coupling functions. It is found that, with the introduction of the second coupling channel, the synchronization region, as calculated according to the method of master stability function(MSF), can be largely modified. In particular, by a slight change of the time delay, it is found that the synchronization region can be significantly adjusted, or even switched from non-existing to existing. We demonstrate this interesting phenomenon for both situations of processing and propagation induced time delays, as well as for different coupling functions. Our studies shed new light on the mechanism of chaos synchronization, and may potentially be used for the control of complex network dynamics.
