First/last mile transit using public transport has consistently been a bottleneck for commuters due to the relatively higher time spent in these legs when compared to the overall journey. Recently, demand responsive transportation(DRT) services have been proposed for the first/last mile transit. However, in contrast to the requirements of a public transportation system, existing DRT services either match only a few passengers to a vehicle or require advance booking. Hence, in this paper we propose a DRT system, specifically for the First mile transit, by matching multiple passengers to a vehicle in real-time. We first model the problem as a convergent graph and obtain an exact solution. Next, a scalable heuristic algorithm has been proposed that not only provides near optimal solution, but also does that in real-time (≈ms) as opposed to minutes/hours taken for the exact solution.

The aim of this work is to create a web administration interface for the MongoDB database to analyze the stored data. The application design was based on the needs of potential users and similar solutions that already exist. The created tool consists of a console application that performs the necessary analysis and a web application that visualizes the results. Console application can also be used separately and can be integrated into other tools. The created application is faster than existing solutions, has more features and has been tested by automated testing and by real users.

This paper presents a new version of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm where the particles are replaced by spline functions. The developed algorithm generates smooth motion trajectories with two times continuously differentiable curvature avoiding obstacles placed in the workspace. It can be used for autonomous robot path planning or transport problems. The spline based trajectory generation gives us continuous, smooth and optimized path trajectories. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a Tensor Product (TP)-based model transformation as an application to the level control of vertical three tank systems. At first the TP model of the plant is obtained from the linear parameter-varying model of the controlled process by applying the TP-based model transformation. The TP controller design is then based by a parallel distributed compensation technique. The obtained results are validated by simulations.

Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgical techniques are becoming standard-of-care in the surgical practice. With the rapid advancement of surgical robotics, many believe that the next step is subtask automation, since it has the potential to safely improve one element of a surgery, which might be most suitable for design and execution supported by artificial intelligence. The outcome of surgery may significantly improve from partial automation already, patient given better accuracy and targeting. This technology can also help surgeons efficiently with time-consuming operations. In this paper, we demonstrate the automation of blunt dissection, which is a common element in almost all abdominal procedures. Blunt dissection is regularly performed during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, e.g., when the surgeon exposes the Calot triangle. Automating this episode would streamline the procedure, and multiple similar automated sub tasks can be integrated into the surgical workflow. The presented method only relies on the images of a stereo camera system, and therefore does not put any additional overhead on the Operating Theater. The method was successfully tested in vitro and ex vivo in simplified simulated environment.

The dynamic development of smart grids allows the use of remote controllable switches to change the configuration of the distribution network. The paper discusses the impact of the distribution system reconfiguration on active power losses, taking into account the typical daily load profiles. Based on modified IEEE 33-bus test distribution system the article presents the method of selection the appropriate sensitivity factor and the configuration of the MV network. The objective function is to minimize active power losses. The studies were performed using DIgSILENT Powerfactory software for two variants of the daily load curve and for different values of the sensitivity coefficient. The calculation results indicate, that adequate (optimal) configuration of MV distribution network, ensures reduction of active power losses.

In this paper we present a comparison of two fuzzy text document clustering algorithms. First of them is KMART algorithm, neural network based on Fuzzy ART neural network and the second algorithm is Fuzzy C-Means based on K-Means algorithm. The paper is aimed to compare the quality and performance of both algorithms on the set of real, contextually similar text documents falling into more categories at the same time.

The paper concentrate on the development of an innovative robotic system based on ontologies as knowledge-source used to solve shortcomings of the state-of-the-art solutions. The description of the product in form of ontologies facilitates the autonomous reasoning about the used concepts linking product model, manufacturing process and production infrastructure. By applying our ontology-driven concept, we tend to enhance not only the flexibility of each component's control architecture but would also lower the configuration cost for new products with respect to required time and expertise. The approach is anticipated for demonstration in two diverse industrial use cases.

This paper presents the latest state of art and developments in the quest for completing the challenging control of anesthesia, i.e the missing part of regulating analgesia. Drug rate to effect modelling and closed loop control of hypnosis and neuromuscular blockade seem to have been well characterized and successful in clinical practice. By contrast, analgesia remains an intricate process with multiple physiological stages at multiple scales in time and in body loci. Latest developments with fractional order kinetics and fractional order impedance models rise hope to the horizons yet to come. A perspective forms on the next steps to be tackled to achieve the complete guided control paradigm.

This paper describes structure of a minutes retrieval system, and analysis of person-topic relation using latent semantic indexing. This minutes retrieval system is developed for retrieving parts of minutes, and retrieving persons related to certain topics, which is named MRS (Minutes Retrieval System). This system treats the minutes of IOC (International Olympic Committees). The system handles minutes of 1980's, which describe with respect to Olympic game and related topics. The purposes for developing the system are to provide a flexible minutes retrieval system, to represent minutes in XML, and to obtain the relationships between individual committee members and their interests. To meet these purposes, at first, minutes are represented in XML. Some tags are defined according to the structure or rules of the original minutes. Moreover, in order to access and analyze the minutes, to make clear named entities is required. To understand the minutes precisely it is necessary to handle named entities suitably, because accurate understanding of named entities is required, and the same named entity appears in terms of different representations. Finally, it is meaningful to clarify who are interested in certain topics. To achieve this, speakers and their speech contents are analyzed. Co-occurrence relationships between speakers and contents are analyzed using latent semantic indexing. Their relationships are depicted in a space constructed by this indexing. Certain experiments were done in which topics were given as queries and persons related to these topics were retrieved.
