The paper presents a system for machinery diagnostics, developed by KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology. This system consists of a software part, installed on a PC, and a hardware part, integrated with the diagnosed machine. The idea of the system is the early damage detection of gears components and the identification of the damage location with the prediction of its development, which allows to increase the operating capability of the machine. The system is dedicated to work with the machines operating in harsh environmental conditions, which exist in the mines. Its characteristic feature is the ability to operate automatically, at varying load conditions. Information about the condition of the machine is determined by a continuous diagnosis, carried out on the basis of a set of signals from vibration sensors, pulse sensors and from the internal machine control system.

A new method for vehicle classification is presented. An axle parameter estimation gives advanced results for the distances between axles as well as transferred energy of vibrations. Measured road vibrations are analyzed and the phenomena are studied. Algorithms for vehicle classification based on the findings are described and their performance, advantages and disadvantages are evaluated and discussed. Correct classification of vehicles by wheelbases using accelerometers is about 89 %.

Planning in Artificial Intelligence is a problem of finding a sequence of actions that transform given initial state of the problem to desired goal situation. In this work we consider computational difficulty of so called conditional planning. Conditional planning is a problem of searching for plans that depend on sensory information and succeed no matter which of the possible initial states the world was actually in. Finding a plan of such problems is computationally difficult. To avoid this difficulty a transformation to Linear Programming Problem, illustrated by an example, is proposed.

We control macroscopic Brownian motion by group robots. To make an object track a required path, feedforward control input is found using our preceding model of continuum mechanical description. We use dynamical balance in continuum mechanics to calculate the feedforward input in each time. We see a phenomenon that the object does not move in a required direction in initial stage of Brownian motion. Due to the phenomenon, large feedback component added to the feedforward input is not avoided to make the object track a required path. We show that feedforward with feedback component works well. But appropriate prediction of a dead time must be incorporated into our continuum model.

Dim objects tracking, like asteroids or satellites, require high performance algorithm. Track-Before-Detect (TBD) algorithms could be applied for such scenario, but the computation power is very demanding. Giant amount of trajectories that could be processed is the main problem. The application of GPGPU allows the computation using optimized Downsampled Spatio-Temporal TBD (ST-TBD) algorithm for small part of image sequences. Message Passing Interface (MPICH2) is applied for the image transmission and state-space exchange between computers and GPGPUs. Analysis of the system with multiple processing computers, for bandwidth limited network, is provided. The system could be limited by the bandwidth of network interface, not by GPGPU, quite often. The derived formula for this system allows the design with best optimization of GPGPUs.

In this paper three methods of electric motor angular speed calculation are compared. The source of the measurement signal is a 14-bit absolute encoder. The authors compared the well-known classic methods M with more advanced approaches. First of the complex methods is based on utilization of phase loop lock system in an estimation process using on-line system model. The third method discussed in the paper is focused on application of Chebyshev filter. Short description of all of the mentioned method is followed by simulation and experimental results. The results are presented on an instance of permanent magnet synchronous motor drive, with both speed controller and speed calculation algorithms implemented in a digital signal processor system.

The article proposes an approach to power system state estimation allowing the division of the network into smaller parts and performing calculations for each part at the same time. The latter can be implemented in parallel, but the main aim has been to propose a method for dispersed calculations, i.e. calculations that may be performed on computing units located at various points of the whole power system. In the paper, there are 3 algorithms for which dispersed versions have been proposed: Extended Kalman Filter, Particle Filter and Extended Kalman Particle Filter. As a result of the simulations, it has been verified that the Dispersed Particle Filter works better than simple Particle Filter. In two other cases, distributed algorithms work worse, but for the Extended Kalman Filter degradation in the estimation quality is not significant.

In this paper, a nonlinear control approach based on a control-oriented model of an engine cooling system for vehicles is presented. An electrically driven coolant pump and a servo-controlled bypass valve act as control inputs. Due to physical limitations regarding the volume flow provided by the coolant pump as well as the opening section of the servo-controlled bypass valve, a constrained control problem arises. Therefore, a nonlinear model-predictive controller is employed, which explicitly takes the actuator limitations into account. A reduced-order disturbance observer is used to estimate unmeasured heat flows within the system in order to obtain a reliable prediction. An experimental analysis highlights the effectiveness of the nonlinear model-predictive control strategy in combination with a reduced-order observer.

In this paper the monocular visual odometry algorithm augmented with pose graph optimization is presented. The algorithm was tested using five different combinations of feature extractors and descriptors and evaluated using two challenging datasets from KITTI database. The main result of this study is that the implementation of pose graph optimization may lead to reduction of position error ranging between 1.53% to 76.05%. The error reduction depends on a feature type and dataset used.

Driving style can be characteristically divided into normal and aggressive. Related researches show that useful information about driving style can be extracted using vehicle's inertial measurement signals with the help of GPS. However, for public transportation the GPS sensor isn't necessary because of repetition of the route. This assumption helps to create low-cost intelligent public transport monitoring system that is capable to classify aggressive and normal driver. In this paper, we propose pattern recognition approach to classify driving style into aggressive or normal automatically without expert evaluation and knowledge using accelerometer data when driving the same route in different driving styles. 3-axis accelerometer signal statistical features were used as classifier inputs. The results show that aggressive and normal driving style classification of 100% precision is achieved using collected data when driving the same route.
