In this paper, an energy learning hyper-heuristic(EL-HH) algorithm is proposed to address the cooperative task assignment problem of heterogeneous UAVs under complex constraints. First, a mathematical model is designed to define the scenario, complex constraints, and objective function of the problem. Then, the scheme encoding, the EL-HH strategy, multiple optimization operators, and the task sequence and time adjustment strategies are designed in the EL-HH algorithm. The scheme encoding is designed with three layers: task sequence, UAV sequence, and waiting time. The EL-HH strategy applies an energy learning method to adaptively adjust the energies of operators, thereby facilitating the selection and application of operators. Multiple optimization operators can update schemes in different ways, enabling the algorithm to fully explore the solution space. Afterward, the task order and time adjustment strategies are designed to adjust task order and insert waiting time. Through the iterative optimization process, a satisfactory assignment scheme is ultimately produced. Finally, simulation and experiment verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

文摘The multi-target assignment(MTA)problem,a crucial challenge in command control,mission planning,and a fundamental research focus in military operations,has garnered significant attention over the years.Extensively studied across various domains such as land,sea,air,space,and electronics,the MTA problem has led to the emergence of numerous models and algorithms.To delve deeper into this field,this paper starts by conducting a bibliometric analysis on 463 Scopus database papers using CiteSpace software.The analysis includes examining keyword clustering,co-occurrence,and burst,with visual representations of the results.Following this,the paper provides an overview of current classification and modeling techniques for addressing the MTA problem,distinguishing between static multi-target assignment(SMTA)and dynamic multi-target assignment(DMTA).Subsequently,existing solution algorithms for the MTA problem are reviewed,generally falling into three categories:exact algorithms,heuristic algorithms,and machine learning algorithms.Finally,a development framework is proposed based on the"HIGH"model(high-speed,integrated,great,harmonious)to guide future research and intelligent weapon system development concerning the MTA problem.This framework emphasizes application scenarios,modeling mechanisms,solution algorithms,and system efficiency to offer a roadmap for future exploration in this area.
文摘Large portions of the tunnel boring machine(TBM)construction cost are attributed to disc cutter consumption,and assessing the disc cutter's wear level can help determine the optimal time to replace the disc cutter.Therefore,the need to monitor disc cutter wear in real-time has emerged as a technical challenge for TBMs.In this study,real-time disc cutter wear monitoring is developed based on sound and vibration sensors.For this purpose,the microphone and accelerometer were used to record the sound and vibration signals of cutting three different types of rocks with varying abrasions on a laboratory scale.The relationship between disc cutter wear and the sound and vibration signal was determined by comparing the measurements of disc cutter wear with the signal plots for each sample.The features extracted from the signals showed that the sound and vibration signals are impacted by the progression of disc wear during the rock-cutting process.The signal features obtained from the rock-cutting operation were utilized to verify the machine learning techniques.The results showed that the multilayer perceptron(MLP),random subspace-based decision tree(RS-DT),DT,and random forest(RF)methods could predict the wear level of the disc cutter with an accuracy of 0.89,0.951,0.951,and 0.927,respectively.Based on the accuracy of the models and the confusion matrix,it was found that the RS-DT model has the best estimate for predicting the level of disc wear.This research has developed a method that can potentially determine when to replace a tool and assess disc wear in real-time.

文摘To adapt to the unique demand-supply features of accessory parking lots at passenger transport hubs,a mixed parking demand assignment method based on regression modeling is proposed.First,an optimal model aiming to minimize total time expenditure is constructed.It incorporates parking search time,walking time,and departure time,focusing on short-term parking features.Then,the information dimensions that the parking lot can obtain are evaluated,and three assignment strategies based on three types of regression models-linear regression(LR),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),and multilayer perceptron(MLP)-are proposed.A parking process simulation model is built using the traffic simulation package SUMO to facilitate data collection,model training,and case studies.Finally,the performance of the three strategies is com-pared,revealing that the XGBoost-based strategy performs the best in case parking lots,which reduces time expendi-ture by 29.3%and 37.2%,respectively,compared with the MLP-based strategy and LR-based strategy.This method offers diverse options for practical parking manage-ment.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients.Recognizing Medical-Related Human Activities(MRHA)is pivotal for healthcare systems,particularly for identifying actions critical to patient well-being.However,challenges such as high computational demands,low accuracy,and limited adaptability persist in Human Motion Recognition(HMR).While some studies have integrated HMR with IoT for real-time healthcare applications,limited research has focused on recognizing MRHA as essential for effective patient monitoring.This study proposes a novel HMR method tailored for MRHA detection,leveraging multi-stage deep learning techniques integrated with IoT.The approach employs EfficientNet to extract optimized spatial features from skeleton frame sequences using seven Mobile Inverted Bottleneck Convolutions(MBConv)blocks,followed by Convolutional Long Short Term Memory(ConvLSTM)to capture spatio-temporal patterns.A classification module with global average pooling,a fully connected layer,and a dropout layer generates the final predictions.The model is evaluated on the NTU RGB+D 120 and HMDB51 datasets,focusing on MRHA such as sneezing,falling,walking,sitting,etc.It achieves 94.85%accuracy for cross-subject evaluations and 96.45%for cross-view evaluations on NTU RGB+D 120,along with 89.22%accuracy on HMDB51.Additionally,the system integrates IoT capabilities using a Raspberry Pi and GSM module,delivering real-time alerts via Twilios SMS service to caregivers and patients.This scalable and efficient solution bridges the gap between HMR and IoT,advancing patient monitoring,improving healthcare outcomes,and reducing costs.
文摘Along with process control,perception represents the main function performed by the Edge Layer of an Internet of Things(IoT)network.Many of these networks implement various applications where the response time does not represent an important parameter.However,in critical applications,this parameter represents a crucial aspect.One important sensing device used in IoT designs is the accelerometer.In most applications,the response time of the embedded driver software handling this device is generally not analysed and not taken into account.In this paper,we present the design and implementation of a predictable real-time driver stack for a popular accelerometer and gyroscope device family.We provide clear justifications for why this response time is extremely important for critical applications in the acquisition process of such data.We present extensive measurements and experimental results that demonstrate the predictability of our solution,making it suitable for critical real-time systems.

文摘Real-time semantic segmentation tasks place stringent demands on network inference speed,often requiring a reduction in network depth to decrease computational load.However,shallow networks tend to exhibit degradation in feature extraction completeness and inference accuracy.Therefore,balancing high performance with real-time requirements has become a critical issue in the study of real-time semantic segmentation.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a lightweight bilateral dual-residual network.By introducing a novel residual structure combined with feature extraction and fusion modules,the proposed network significantly enhances representational capacity while reducing computational costs.Specifically,an improved compound residual structure is designed to optimize the efficiency of information propagation and feature extraction.Furthermore,the proposed feature extraction and fusion module enables the network to better capture multi-scale information in images,improving the ability to detect both detailed and global semantic features.Experimental results on the publicly available Cityscapes dataset demonstrate that the proposed lightweight dual-branch network achieves outstanding performance while maintaining low computational complexity.In particular,the network achieved a mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of 78.4%on the Cityscapes validation set,surpassing many existing semantic segmentation models.Additionally,in terms of inference speed,the network reached 74.5 frames per second when tested on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU,significantly improving real-time performance.

文摘Here,a novel real-time monitoring sensor that integrates the oxidation of peroxymonosulfate(PMS)and the in situ monitoring of the pollutant degradation process is proposed.Briefly,FeCo@carbon fiber(FeCo@CF)was utilized as the anode electrode,while graphite rods served as the cathode electrode in assembling the galvanic cell.The FeCo@CF electrode exhibited rapid reactivity with PMS,generating reactive oxygen species that efficiently degrade organic pollutants.The degradation experiments indicate that complete bisphenol A(BPA)degradation was achieved within 10 min under optimal conditions.The real-time electrochemical signal was measured in time during the catalytic reaction,and a linear relationship between BPA concentration and the real-time charge(Q)was confirmed by the equation ln(C0/C)=4.393Q(correlation coefficients,R^(2)=0.998).Furthermore,experiments conducted with aureomycin and tetracycline further validated the effectiveness of the monitoring sensor.First-principles investigation confirmed the superior adsorption energy and improved electron transfer in FeCo@CF.The integration of pollutant degradation with in situ monitoring of catalytic reactions offers promising prospects for expanding the scope of the monitoring of catalytic processes and making significant contributions to environmental purification.

文摘With the unprecedented prevalence of Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)and 5G technology,various applications supported by industrial communication systems have generated exponentially increased processing tasks,which makes task assignment inefficient due to insufficient workers.In this paper,an Intelligent and Trustworthy task assignment method based on Trust and Social relations(ITTS)is proposed for scenarios with many tasks and few workers.Specifically,ITTS first makes initial assignments based on trust and social influences,thereby transforming the complex large-scale industrial task assignment of the platform into the small-scale task assignment for each worker.Then,an intelligent Q-decision mechanism based on workers'social relation is proposed,which adopts the first-exploration-then-utilization principle to allocate tasks.Only when a worker cannot cope with the assigned tasks,it initiates dynamic worker recruitment,thus effectively solving the worker shortage problem as well as the cold start issue.More importantly,we consider trust and security issues,and evaluate the trust and social circles of workers by accumulating task feedback,to provide the platform a reference for worker recruitment,thereby creating a high-quality worker pool.Finally,extensive simulations demonstrate ITTS outperforms two benchmark methods by increasing task completion rates by 56.49%-61.53%and profit by 42.34%-47.19%.

文摘Cooperative task assignment is one of the key research focuses in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs). In this paper, an energy learning hyper-heuristic(EL-HH) algorithm is proposed to address the cooperative task assignment problem of heterogeneous UAVs under complex constraints. First, a mathematical model is designed to define the scenario, complex constraints, and objective function of the problem. Then, the scheme encoding, the EL-HH strategy, multiple optimization operators, and the task sequence and time adjustment strategies are designed in the EL-HH algorithm. The scheme encoding is designed with three layers: task sequence, UAV sequence, and waiting time. The EL-HH strategy applies an energy learning method to adaptively adjust the energies of operators, thereby facilitating the selection and application of operators. Multiple optimization operators can update schemes in different ways, enabling the algorithm to fully explore the solution space. Afterward, the task order and time adjustment strategies are designed to adjust task order and insert waiting time. Through the iterative optimization process, a satisfactory assignment scheme is ultimately produced. Finally, simulation and experiment verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘In this study,a high-confining pressure and real-time large-displacement shearing-flow setup was developed.The test setup can be used to analyze the injection pressure conditions that increase the hydro-shearing permeability and injection-induced seismicity during hot dry rock geothermal extraction.For optimizing injection strategies and improving engineering safety,real-time permeability,deformation,and energy release characteristics of fractured granite samples driven by injected water pressure under different critical sliding conditions were evaluated.The results indicated that:(1)A low injection water pressure induced intermittent small-deformation stick-slip behavior in fractures,and a high injection pressure primarily caused continuous high-speed large-deformation sliding in fractures.The optimal injection water pressure range was defined for enhancing hydraulic shear permeability and preventing large injection-induced earthquakes.(2)Under the same experimental conditions,fracture sliding was deemed as the major factor that enhanced the hydraulic shear-permeability enhancement and the maximum permeability increased by 36.54 and 41.59 times,respectively,in above two slip modes.(3)Based on the real-time transient evolution of water pressure during fracture sliding,the variation coefficients of slip rate,permeability,and water pressure were fitted,and the results were different from those measured under quasi-static conditions.(4)The maximum and minimum shear strength criteria for injection-induced fracture sliding were also determined(μ=0.6665 andμ=0.1645,respectively,μis friction coefficient).Using the 3D(three-dimensional)fracture surface scanning technology,the weakening effect of injection pressure on fracture surface damage characteristics was determined,which provided evidence for the geological markers of fault sliding mode and sliding nature transitions under the fluid influence.

文摘The exponential expansion of the Internet of Things(IoT),Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT),and Transportation Management of Things(TMoT)produces vast amounts of real-time streaming data.Ensuring system dependability,operational efficiency,and security depends on the identification of anomalies in these dynamic and resource-constrained systems.Due to their high computational requirements and inability to efficiently process continuous data streams,traditional anomaly detection techniques often fail in IoT systems.This work presents a resource-efficient adaptive anomaly detection model for real-time streaming data in IoT systems.Extensive experiments were carried out on multiple real-world datasets,achieving an average accuracy score of 96.06%with an execution time close to 7.5 milliseconds for each individual streaming data point,demonstrating its potential for real-time,resourceconstrained applications.The model uses Principal Component Analysis(PCA)for dimensionality reduction and a Z-score technique for anomaly detection.It maintains a low computational footprint with a sliding window mechanism,enabling incremental data processing and identification of both transient and sustained anomalies without storing historical data.The system uses a Multivariate Linear Regression(MLR)based imputation technique that estimates missing or corrupted sensor values,preserving data integrity prior to anomaly detection.The suggested solution is appropriate for many uses in smart cities,industrial automation,environmental monitoring,IoT security,and intelligent transportation systems,and is particularly well-suited for resource-constrained edge devices.
