Presently, discrete-event dynamic systems represent a significant group of varied systems e.g. computer networks, manufacturing systems, communication systems, database systems etc. An important class of discrete-event systems are automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). There is a big demand for new modelling and control methods of these systems in automotive industry in Slovakia. These systems are equipped by robots and other automation technology. The paper deals with High-level Petri nets applied in modelling of these systems. Main results of the paper include brief description of the method and model of storage system implemented by Coloured Petri nets expressed by different formalisms in two software tools. We also discuss the possible application of the model and modelling method in practice and for system control purposes.

The need for intelligent autonomous vehicles is increasing in industrial and everyday life as well. Path planning among obstacles is one of the challenging problems to be solved to achieve autonomous navigation. In this paper we present a global geometric path planning method for car-like robots, which proved to be effective especially in cluttered environments, containing narrow passages. Navigation in such scenarios usually requires non-obvious manoeuvring with many reversals, which is challenging even for a human driver. We also present a comparative analysis of our method with possible alternatives from the literature to illustrate its effectiveness regarding computation time and path quality.

This article aims to highlight the usefulness of improving classical algorithms by generating new approaches, efficiency or parallel execution time optimization at all costs. The reconsideration of classical algorithms, but in different testing conditions can help all products that rely on them. Based on the different uses of Dijkstra's algorithm and the new approaches based on the use, it can be said that today this algorithm covers several areas with high utility nowadays. Here there are examples such as GPS systems, which must find roads fast depending on different conditions. Also this algorithm is to be found in the network where we can talk about real priority schemes and data transfer speed that matters a lot today. Even in the top management systems these algorithms, minimum road, can be used with predilection. This article offers an innovative and efficient approach of Dijkstra's algorithm through parallel programming and analysis of the results obtained in different tests.

The paper deals with the electronic stabilization system (ESP) proposal. This system provides stability of the vehicle in critical or unpredictable situations, which driver could not manage or could manage with troubles. It is a system that increases active safety of the vehicle. A lot of necessary scanners and active elements were surveyed. Based on these findings, the optimal versions of all the elements were chosen, regarding their availability and demanded requirements. The results of this analysis were used for creation of simplified algorithm of electronic stabilization system (ESP). These algorithms served for creating several applications that evaluate vehicle condition and control all the elements of the electronic stabilization system. To verify correct functions of the system, simulation mathematical model was created. The proposed algorithms were tested in this model and the optimal version was chosen. This optimal version was used as a basis for final application for the LabView cRIO background, which contains visual background to inform the crew about the vehicle condition and stabilization.

This paper deals with a design of a system for supporting anti-hail networks. It is proposed a specific system for Romania anti-hail network which enhance the anti-hail systems with information subsystems. The system has two main components: a system for taking the decision of launch and the system for assisting the launch decision. The subsystem for taking the decision of launching addresses exclusively the central control point. The subsystem is a multifunctional geographic information system (GIS) which can help the staff of the center point upon the decisions which must be taken in extreme situations. The main topics refer to the system structure and GIS creation. The system for supporting the launch anti-hail rockets units enables an increased efficiency by shortening the time for action, a good organization, and a high degree of security.

Suprasegmental features are fundamental properties of speech. They can improve not only the naturalness of synthesized speech, but the performance of machine speech recognition in voice controlled logistic systems. In linguistics, stress is the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word, or to certain words in a phrase or sentence. The term is also used for similar patterns of phonetic prominence inside syllables. The stress placed on syllables within words is called word stress or lexical stress. The stress placed on words within sentences is called sentence stress or prosodic stress. Sentence and word stress are crucial prosodic features. One of the features usually used for stress detection is the energy of syllables, but the average energies of vowels are various. Energy of a stressed weak vowel can be lower than that of an unstressed strong vowel. We compare the amplitude of the actual vowel to that of its average to show the stressed or unstressed nature of the syllable. Average energies of vowels are obtained from a speech recognizer trained with voices of hundreds of speakers.

With the implementation of the principle of the Internet of Things raises demands for new services as well as technical requirements that enable their implementation. One of the fields is the localization of wounded in mass disasters. Currently, the identification is performed by paper / plastic triage tags, which are used to label wounded victim at first contact with rescue unit based on the state of the causality. Automatic identification using active RFID technology is in such a case a solution which permits remote technically sophisticated surveillance of the situation. It is advantageous to use active RFID tags as a low-power transmitter, which is an immense advantage comparison with GPS technology. Lifetime of such tag can be several months. Managed active RFID tags can localize wounded objects within the range of a few hundred meters in free space and indicate the degree of severity of the injury of individual causalities. RFID readers, i.e. locators placed in that area, evaluate the direction of arrival of each tag and transmit obtained information to the computer system, which calculates the position of each RFID tag using sophisticated signal processing methods. This information can be displayed in a specific map including classification of tags, their movement or history. This paper focuses on the testing and experimental verification of such a system. The results of the experiment verify the concept of an RFID locator with achieved accuracy of 2.1 m in the area of 100 × 100 m.

Clock and/or frequency synchronization is a common requirement in modern distributed measurement and control systems, such as Internet of Things (IoT). The required precision is application dependent; however, the possibility of sub 1 microsecond precision provided by low-cost advanced IEEE 1588 implementations sets the industry standard today. The performance and price of IEEE 1588 implementations are primarily defined by the master clocks and their actual installation and configuration. The paper investigate how master clock architectures, i.e., how the master clock is connected to the reference clock, influence price and performance; and in addition, it also details how the architecture effects installation and configuration requirements. The primary factors of investigation are ambient temperature and delay compensation required due to signal transmission time. The paper also introduces the architecture and performance of a Linux based open source/hardware prototype master clock developed by the author.

The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) approves the use of both the classical approach with partial derivatives and the Monte Carlo technique. The former procedure exhibits two main limitations: Firstly, it requires some mathematical skills to compute the first-order derivatives of each component of the output quantity; secondly, it cannot predict the probability distribution of the output quantity if the input quantities are not normally distributed. The drawbacks, however, are eliminated by the latter concept, namely the Monte Carlo approach. This paper demonstrates that the Monte Carlo simulation method is fully compatible with conventional uncertainty estimation methods. The authors describe application of the Monte Carlo method for the estimation of measurement uncertainty in indirect measurement of air flow with a multiport averaging Pitot tube. The uncertainty of the flowmeter is dependent on the averaging Pitot tube (as a primary element) and on the differential pressure transmitter uncertainty. In this case, the probability distributions of the input quantities are not normal. Matlab is used for the estimation of the air flow measurement uncertainty via the Monte Carlo method.

It is a difficult task to compare methods in the field of outdoor robotics. Robotic competitions have become a common means of evaluating the performance of robotic techniques. EURATHLON and ELROB are examples for such outdoor robotics competitions aiming to assess the capabilities of robotic systems in realistic disaster response scenarios. Obviously, this requires special efforts in the metrics and benchmarking domain. Additionally, a major aim of ELROB and EURATHLON is standardization, for example regarding technical interfaces, protocols, data formats, or even complex structures like payload specifications and exchangeable datasets. This paper describes the EURATHLON/ELROB projects, the conducted competitions and, especially, the efforts made in the fields of standardization and benchmarking.
