    A real-time clearance-based approach for motion planning of mobile robots

    , Article 7th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics, ICCI 2008, Stanford University, CA, 14 August 2008 through 16 August 2008 ; 2008 , Pages 394-401 ; 9781424425389 (ISBN) Naderan Tahan, M ; Iraji, R ; Manzuri Shalmani, M. T ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, two different important quality metrics, clearance and execution time, for motion planning of mobile robots are studied. Then a new approach, called Clearance-Based Probabilistic Roadmap Method (CBPRM (c)), is proposed which in contrast to VV(c) method, Visibility-Voronoi with clearance c, beside satisfaction of a predefined clearance is very efficient in running time. This provides the CBPRM (c) to be applicable in dynamic environments which require realtime approaches. Experiments showed that the CBPRM(c) is able to generate paths with very low execution time considering determined clearance. © 2008 IEEE  

    Incorporating service quality regulation in distribution system maintenance strategy

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery ; Vol. 26, issue. 4 , 2011 , p. 2495-2504 ; ISSN: 08858977 Mohammadnezhad-Shourkaei, H ; Abiri-Jahromi, A ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    The concerns of regulatory authority for the cost efficiency and service quality of distribution utilities has led them to implement monetary schemes, such as penalty/reward mechanism (PRM). PRM provides explicit financial incentives for distribution system operators (DSO) to maintain or improve their efficiency and quality of service. Although the effectiveness of the PRM is proven, analytical tools that can handle the complex decision-making process faced by decision makers to respond to PRM are scarce. This paper presents an approach for distribution system maintenance management in the presence of the PRM. The proposed approach tailors the maintenance plans by taking into account the...
