For the purpose of improving the future domestic train control systems and securing interoperability, according to the global development trends of train control systems, it is presented that the test results of interoperability between wayside train control systems installed in existed line, and the onboard train control system. Due to the safety-critical characteristics of train systems, the site test in the section where the wayside equipment is installed may lead to a danger against safety. Therefore, by way of constructing a simulation environment of train control systems, the T/R data systems of the equipment for interoperability are confirmed and the interoperability test are obtained by applying these systems to onboard equipment.

One of the elements of implemented in Poland traffic control systems is module of priorities for public transport. Essence of working priority and the basic indicators of its effectiveness were presented. Among methods for testing the effectiveness of the priority, there has been distinguished economic and simulation approach. An example of priority research based on simulation of chosen street in Bydgoszcz was shown, using Vissim simulation environment. Developed simulation model, its connection to the control system, adopted detection system and 4 tested control strategies were also described. Then, the simulation and its results were presented. In results discussion they were compared in terms of adopted control strategies. In summary, possibility of a future study extension was also indicated.

Correction curves are of great importance in the performance evaluation of heavy duty gas turbines (HDGT). They provide the means by which to translate performance test results from test conditions to the rated conditions. The correction factors are usually calculated using the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) gas turbine thermal model (a.k.a. cycle deck), varying one parameter at a time throughout a given range of interest. For some parameters bi-variate effects are considered when the associated secondary performance effect of another variable is significant. Although this traditional approach has been widely accepted by the industry, has offered a simple and transparent means of correcting test results, and has provided a reasonably accurate correction methodology for gas turbines with conventional control systems, it neglects the associated interdependence of each correction parameter from the remaining parameters. Also, its inherently static nature is not well suited for today’s modern gas turbine control systems employing integral gas turbine aero-thermal models in the control system that continuously adapt the turbine’s operating parameters to the “as running” aero-thermal component performance characteristics. Accordingly, the most accurate means by which to correct the measured performance from test conditions to the guarantee conditions is by use of Model-Based Performance Corrections, in agreement with the current PTC-22 and ISO 2314, although not commonly used or accepted within the industry. The implementation of Model-based Corrections is presented for the Case Study of a GE 9FA gas turbine upgrade project, with an advanced model-based control system that accommodated a multitude of operating boundaries. Unique plant operating restrictions, coupled with its focus on partial load heat rate, presented a perfect scenario to employ Model-Based Performance Corrections.

The use of Arduino-Based floodgates aims to address the issue of flooding. The goal of this research was to create a system that could monitor water levels and control floodgatesUltrasonic sensor was used to measure water level, as the water level becomes the indicator to open and close the floodgates. The ultrasonic sensor is mounted on the dam and measures the distance between the water’s surface and the sensor transmitter. The results of the measurement of the water level are used to control the floodgates. Sensor measurement results are not always valid, given the age of the sensor and the terrain around the dam is quite challenging. The self-check sensor feature is introduced in this study as a way to overcome detection faults in the system, where ultrasonic sensors can perform self-monitoring by relying solely on their neighbours. In general, the process is carried out in four stages, starting from the stage of reading the sensor, the stage transmitting and receiving data from the Arduino, the stage of detecting sensor’s value, the stage of displaying the sensor values. At the stage of displaying the sensor value, there are four water level conditions, normal, waspada, siaga and bahaya. According to the test results, incorporating self-check sensors into the system enables for more efficient Arduino-based sluice control systems, as well as the possibility of detecting malfunctions caused by sensor damage

High precision vehicle simulation environment is required for development of control system of any newly suggested intelligent system. Hence, a high precision full-vehicle simulation environment integrated with an intelligent torque transfer system should be developed for an advanced control logic for enhancement of vehicle stability. In the perspective of making enhanced AWD system, there are many kinds of methods to make the system. And a controller part of the AWD module is regarded as a major part of the system development in consideration of enhancement of the vehicle stability with the suggested AWD system. Therefore, in this study, high precision full-vehicle simulation environment is developed for the development of an intelligent control system of the AWD module. In order to make models for the simulation, vehicle test is performed with a commercial vehicle, and the several performance tests of the developed AWD system are also conducted in a laboratory. Then, the simulation environment comprised of several models of important sub-systems is developed based on the previously conducted test results, and the developed simulation environment is verified by comparing the simulation results to the test results.

The design of an advanced flight control system (FCS) is a technically challenging task for which a range of engineering disciplines have to align their skills and efforts in order to achieve a successful system design. This paper presents an overview of some of the factors which need to be considered and is intended to serve as an introduction to this stimulating subject. Specific aspects covered are: flight dynamics and handling qualities, mechanical and fly-by-wire systems, control laws and air data systems, stores carriage, actuation systems, flight control computer implementation, flexible airframe dynamics, and ground and flight testing. The flight control system challenges and expected future developments are reviewed and a comprehensive set of references is provided for further reading.
