UAV imagery based potential safety hazard evaluation for high-speed railroad using Real-time instance segmentation

Potential safety hazards (PSHs) along the track needs to be inspected and evaluated regularly to ensure a safe environment for high-speed railroad operations. Other than track inspection, evaluating potential safety hazards in the nearby areas often requires inspectors to patrol along the track and visually identify potential threads to the train operation. The current visual inspection approach is very time-consuming and may raise safety concerns for the inspectors, especially in remote areas. Using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has great potential to complement the visual inspection by providing a better view from the top and ease the safety concerns in many cases. This study develops an automatic PSH detection framework named YOLARC (You Only Look at Railroad Coefficients) using UAV imagery for high-speed railroad monitoring. First, YOLARC is equipped with a new backbone having multiple available receptive fields to strengthen the multi-scale representation capability at a granular level and enrich the semantic information in the feature space. Then, the system integrates the abundant semantic features at different high-level layers by a light weighted feature pyramid network (FPN) with multi-scale pyramidal architecture and a Protonet with residual structure to precisely predict the track areas and PSHs. A hazard level evaluation (HLE) method, which calculates the distance between identified PSH and the track, is also developed and integrated for quantifying the hazard level. Experiments conducted on the UAV imagery of high-speed railroad dataset show the proposed system can quickly and effectively turn UAV images into useful information with a high detection rate and processing speed.

Hull-form optimization in calm and rough water

The paper presents a formal methodology for the hull form optimization in calm and rough water using wash waves and selected dynamic responses, respectively. Parametric hull form modeling is used to generate the variant hull forms with some of the form parameters modified, which are evaluated in the optimization scheme based on evolutionary strategies. Rankine-source panel method and strip theories are used for the hydrodynamic evaluation. The methodology is implemented in the optimization of a double-chine, planing hull form. Furthermore, a dual-stage optimization strategy is applied on a modern fast displacement ferry. The effect of the selected optimization parameters is presented and discussed.     

Improved exponential stability criteria for uncertain neutral system with nonlinear parameter perturbations

This paper investigates the problem of robust exponential stability for neutral systems with time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on a novel Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality technique, a new delay-dependent stability condition is derived. Since the model transformation and bounding techniques for cross terms are avoided, the criteria proposed in this paper are less conservative than some previous approaches by using the free-weighting matrices. One numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Parametric optimisation in a 2-D cellular automata model of fundamental seismic attributes with the use of genetic algorithms

A two-dimensional (2-D) cellular automata (CA) dynamic system constituted of cells-charges has been proposed for the simulation of the earthquake process. In this paper, the study is focused on the optimal parameterisation of the model introducing the use of genetic algorithm (GA). The optimisation of the CA model parameterisation, by applying a standard GA, extends its ability to study various hypotheses concerning the seismicity of the region under consideration. The GA evolves an initially random population of candidate solutions of model parameters, such that in time appropriate solutions to emerge. The quality criterion is realised by taking into account the extent that the simulation results match the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law derived from recorded data of the area under test. The simulation results presented here regard regions of Greece with different seismic and geophysical characteristics. The results found are in good quantitative and qualitative agreement with the GR scaling relations.     

基于公平性的多银行电子现金

随着电子商务的发展,电子支付系统逐渐发展起来。而现有多数的电子现金不能在多家金融机构中流通,并且电子现金的数额在发放时就被固定了,交易时只能在本系统中使用。利用椭圆曲线密钥机制,基于Song-Korba的电子现金框架基础,提出一种由某一权威的金融机构(如中央银行)统一发行,可在多家银行中流通的电子现金体系。对Song-Korba框架做了一些改进,使电子现金交易后的体积不变,可实现余额的合并,安全性更高的电子现金机制。
