Implementation and evaluation of Space Time Alarm Clock / Implementering och utvärdering av rum-tids väckarklocka

Prelipcean, Adrian Corneliu January 2014 (has links)
Many modern mobile communication devices are equipped with a GPS receiver and anavigation tool. These devices are useful when a user seeks to reach a specified destinationas soon as possible, but may not be so when he/she only needs to arrive at thedestination in time and wants to focus on some activities on the way. To deal with thislatter situation, a method and device called “Space Time Alarm Clock” is presented forhelping the user reach the destination by a specified deadline and inform the user aboutthe consequences of his/her decisions. It does so by continuously and efficiently computinghow much more time the user may stay at his/her current location without failing toreach the destination by the deadline. Furthermore, it determines the possible movementchoices that a user can make with regards to an underlying road network, it computesthe shortest travel time associated with each choice and informs the user about the consequencesof his/her decisions. Advantage of this approach is that it works completelyin the background so that the user‘s en-route activities will never be interfered with. The“Space Time Alarm Clock” was implemented for Stockholm, where it was tested.

O papel da distância em projetos topológicos de redes de distribuição elétrica / The role of distances in topological design of electrical distribution networks

Silva, Paulo Wagner Lopes da 20 May 2015 (has links)
This dissertation investigates in which conditions the optimal configuration of an electric power network is a minimum length spanning tree, and in which conditions it is shortest path tree configuration. For this purpose the dissertation, it applies computational optimization mathematical models of an optimal local access network design problem. The focus of the study is the 13.8 kV spacer cable primary radial networks. Applied models seek for the balance betweenfixedcostsandvariablecosts.Savedvaluesfromanoptimalnetworkcouldbeapplied to increase the range of the network and people reached as well. The bibliographic research is compound by three parts: graph theory, local access network optimization models, and distribution network costs. Research methodology includes the choice of the distribution system, determination of fixed and variable costs, choice and implementation of the local access network optimization models, tests in hypothetical and realistic systems by using the CPLEX solver, analysis of the resulting configuration, and construction of graphics to facilitate the results evaluation. It was found that the relationship between fixed costs and variable costs influences the optimal configuration of the distribution network in such a way that a low value of the quotient between fixed costs and variable costs contributes to a shortest path tree. On the other hand, a high quotient between fixed costs and variable costs contributes to a minimum length spanning tree configuration. However, others parameters must be considered to determine the network configuration such as extension, arches demand and quantity of arches. / O presente trabalho visa investigar sob quais condições a configuração ótima de uma rede de distribuição elétrica é uma árvore geradora mínima (AGM) e sob quais é uma árvore de caminhos mínimos (ACM). Utilizando, para isso, modelos matemáticos computacionais de otimização topológica de redes de utilidade pública. As redes de distribuição estudadas foram do tipo aérea radial primária protegida (ARPP) com nível de tensão em 13,8 kV. Os modelos utilizados prezam pelo equilíbrio entre o custo de investimento inicial (fixo) e os custos decorrentes da transferência de energia elétrica (variável). Os valores economizados através de uma configuração ótima da rede podem ser convertidos em investimentos para aumentar o número de pessoas com acesso aos recursos energéticos com eficiência e qualidade. A revisão bibliográfica foi dividida em três partes: teoria dos grafos, modelos de otimização de redes de acesso local e custos de redes de distribuição. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu as seguintes etapas: escolha do tipo de sistema de distribuição, determinação dos custos fixo e variável, escolha e implementação (GAMS) dos modelos, testes com exemplos de redes usando o solver CPLEX, análise das configurações resultantes e elaboração de gráficos para facilitar a avaliação dos resultados. Os resultados mostraram que a relação entre o custo fixo β e o custo variável γ exerce influência determinante na configuração ótima de uma rede de distribuição ARPP. Um valor baixo de β/γ, favorece a ACM. Já valores elevados de β/γ, conduzem a solução para uma AGM. No entanto, essa relação não é o único fator que determina a configuração da rede, outros parâmetros como extensão, demanda dos nós e quantidade de possíveis arcos influenciam de forma significativa na solução apresentada.
