Small World Stratification for Power System Fault Diagnosis with Causality, 08/08 – 08/11
Small world stratification with causality aggregates both local spatial features (e.g., circuit connections, land use) and global logical features (e.g., strong wind is more likely to cause tree faults) from distributed information for effective and efficient power...
Graphic Display Interface for the AIS based Intelligent Transportation System, Summer 2010
About the Project This project aims at developing a Graphic Display Interface for the AIS based Intelligent Transportation System, which can run the Simulink module and display the result of the simulation graphically. Documentations Graphic Display Interface for the...
Closed-Loop Transportation Simulation, Summer 2010
About the Project The project aims to emulate common traffic scenarios on the road scenario using four Lego Mindstorms Robots.The algorithms implemented states of the robot,simulated in the simulink already, defining the robot behaviors.Each robots is assigned a...
Network Enabled Battery Health Monitoring and Management System, Summer 2010
About the Project This project aims at building online instruments that can transmit sampled voltage, load current and temperature of a PHEV Li-ion battery to laptop via ZigBee wireless network, and to Manicipal Parking Lot Charging Station via Internet....
Intelligent Energy Management System for Charging of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles at a Municipal Parking Deck, 08/08 – 07/10
There is a need to address potential problems due to the emergence of technologies that will affect the utility industry in a time horizon of less than 20 years. One such technology is the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV); the emergence of these vehicles in the...
Predictive Constrained Gain Scheduling for UGV Path Tracking Control with Network Delay
In this project a predictive gain scheduler for robot path tracking control in a networked control system with variable delay is being developed. The controller uses the plant model to predict future position and find the amount of travel possible with the global path...
Intelligent Human-Machine Interface & Control for Highly Automated Chemical Screening Processes (with David Kaber, Robert St. Amant), sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF), 10/01/04 – 09/31/07
Project Description: Biological and chemical compound screening for new drug discovery is an emerging industry with the potential to improve the quality of human life. The need for High Throughput Screening (HTS) process of organic or synthetic compounds for...
