The article presents an analysis of priority solutions for trams at a selected sequence of intersections in Warsaw (Poland). An analysis of the literature has shown the topicality of this issue. A computer simulation model of a coordinated sequence of intersections was constructed. Three test scenarios were designed: the existing control system, the new coordinated fixed-time control system, and the adaptive control system with active priority. In the simulation process, detailed travel characteristics of trams and other traffic participants in a selected section were obtained for the three varying scenarios. Electric energy consumption for traction needs and pollutant emissions was then estimated for each of the variants. It was concluded that for the analyzed configuration, implementation of the adaptive priority will result in a reduction of tram time losses by up to 25%, a reduction in energy consumption by up to 23%, and a reduction in the emission of pollutants from individual vehicles by up to 3% in relation to the original variant. The conducted research may be the basis for a comprehensive method of assessing the effectiveness of applying the adaptative priority when designing new tramway lines and modernizing the existing ones.

ABSTRACTA highly flexible Rapid Thermal Multiprocessing (RTM) reactor is described. This flexibility is the result of several new innovations: a lamp system, an acoustic thermometer and a real-time control system. The new lamp has been optimally designed through the use of a “virtual reactor” methodology to obtain the best possible wafer temperature uniformity. It consists of multiple concentric rings composed of light bulbs with horizontal filaments. Each ring is independently and dynamically controlled providing better control over the spatial and temporal optical flux profile resulting in excellent temperature uniformity over a wide range of process conditions. An acoustic thermometer non-invasively allows complete wafer temperature tomography under all process conditions - a critically important measurement never obtained before. For real-time equipment and process control a model based multivariable control system has been developed. Extensive integration of computers and related technology for specification, communication, execution, monitoring, control, and diagnosis demonstrates the programmability of the RTM.

The 2-tank intermittent aeration method is an anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge process of time-sharing type in which 2 complete mixing reaction tanks are connected in series, and aeration and agitation are periodically repeated in each tank. We have developed a new control system for the process which can secure anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic conditions through a combination of DO and ORP-Bending-point (corresponding to termination of denitrification) emergence time control. In the 1st tank, nitrification and phosphorus uptake occur in the aeration period, followed by denitrification and phosphorus release in the agitation. The 2nd tank performs nitrification and phosphorus uptake in the aeration and denitrification in the agitation. One cycle of aeration and agitation is approximately 2 hours. This control system was applied to the test plant (influent flow rate: 225 I/day) for two months under the conditions of HRT 16 hours and temperature 20 ±2 °C. We achieved stable and high removal ratios: TOC 94.9 %, T-N 89.4 %, and T-P 95.5 %. We also investigated the mechanisms of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and their material balance.
