Master's thesis deals with the evaluation of suppliers of selected company using fuzzy logic. Designed fuzzy system allows firm to evaluate individual offers and serves as a support for decision-making.

This thesis deals with the design of fuzzy system that can evaluate supplier of spare parts for service. The result should be applicable to a company Iveta Šťastníková - car and tire service. Primarily it should simplify operations associated with the selection of appropriate spare parts, tools and other equipment needed to operate with car service station. First, we introduce the theoretical basis for the paper, and then we go to the present state and the analysis itself. The result is a proposed solution which should correspond to the needs of the owner.

This master‘s thesis describes the design and implementation of the system for detection and recognition of speed limit road signs. It focuses on the recognition of the red circular speed limit sign from the image data using the computer vision methods. Several methods were programmed and tested as a part of this thesis. In the final solution, the segmentation based on YCbCr color model is used. Detection of the circular sign and final classification is performed by template matching method. Algorithm for the tracking of the detected signs between frames of the video is used for better performance in real-time recognition. Application is developed using MATLAB and Simulink. The result is a simple driver assistance system prototype, which can be implemented in any computer with camera. The correct function of the algorithm was confirmed during a testing in a traffic.

Cyber attacks can target any nodes of the space infrastructure, and while these attacks are called non-violent, there is a credible capability to use cyber attacks to cause direct or indirect physical damage, injury or death. However, the vulnerability of satellites and other space assets to cyber attack is often overlooked, which is a significant failing given society's substantial and ever increasing reliance on satellite technologies. Through a policy analysis, this dissertation assess the set of political provisions provided by the European Union to address the cyber security issue of the space infrastructure. Such study aims at exploring the geopolitical consequences linked to space cyber security risks, and at assessing the political preparedness of the European Union to address these challenges. The perspective of transatlantic cooperation to further support both American and European effort to tackle this security risk is also addressed. The overarching value of the study is to contribute to future European cyber security for space and transatlantic debates by providing useful perspectives and key takeaways on these two domains. Ultimately, he existing set of policies are not sufficient to address the cyber security issue in Outer Space, a unified approach by the European Union and the United...

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) concept has, combining conventional internal combustion engines and electric drives, gained more and more interest due to its environmental friendly features. A PMSynRel based electric drive is considered as a good option due to its high torque density and high efficiency. To reduce the overall cost of HEVs, the position resolvers can be replaced by Hall-sensors or using sensorless control. However, the dynamics of such electric drives may be degraded. The main objective of this MSc project is to develop torque dynamics of such electric drives when operating with/without a position sensor. The developed torque dynamic can be used to analyze the limits of hall senor/sensorless strategy when, e.g. anti-oscillation control isrequired. The torque dynamic is presented as a matrix based transfer function extracted from the speed responses and torque responses using Identification Tool Box in Matlab. Firstly, the transfer function was derived by means of simulations in both time and frequency domains. Secondly, similar procedures were applied to extract the transfer functions based on the experimental results.

The main focus of this dissertation thesis is on methods and tools which can increase the speed of software development process for embedded processors used in mechatronics applications. The first part of this work introduces software and hardware tools suitable for a rapid development and prototyping of new applications used today. This work focuses on two main topics from the mentioned application field. The first topic is a development of tools for an automatic code generation from the Simulink environment for an embedded processor. The second topic is a development of tools enabling execution time prediction based on a Simulink model. Next chapter of this work describes various aspects and properties of the Cerebot blockset, which is a toolset for a fully automatic code generation from a Simulink environment for an embedded processor. Following chapter describes various methods that are suitable for predicting the execution time on an embedded processor based on a Simulink model. Main contribution of this work presents the created support for a fully automatic code generation from a Simulink software for the MX7 cK hardware, which enables a code generation supporting also a complex peripheral (a graphic display unit). The next important contribution of this work presents the developed method for an automatic prediction of the software execution time based on a Simulink model.

The modern industry has an increasing demand for simulation software able to help workers and decision-makers visualize the outputs of a specific process in a fast, accurate way. In this report, a comparative study between FACTS (Factory Analyses in ConcepTual phase using Simulation), Plant Simulation, and PSE (Production System Engineering) Toolbox is done regarding their capacity to simulate models with increasing complexity, how accurate they are in their outputs with different optimized buffer allocations, and how well they perform on the task of detecting the bottlenecks of a process. Benchmarking simulation software requires an experimental approach, and for gathering and organizing all the data generated using external programs like MATLAB, C, Excel, and R are used. A high level of automatization is required as otherwise the manual input of data would take too long to be effective.The results conclude on major concordances among FACTS and Plant Simulation as the most used commercial DES (Discrete Event Simulation) software and a more mathematical-theoretical approach coming from PSE Toolbox. The optimization done in the report links to sustainability, with an enhanced TH improving the ecological, social and economic aspects, and to Lean philosophy using lean buffers that smooth and improve the production flow.
