La obra del Padre Florian Paucke S.J.

Hace aproximadamente un tercio de siglo accedí a la obra escrita de Florian Paucke, parte de un amplio conjunto de memorias y descripciones de viajes que estaba consultando en razón de una investigación histórica sobre las vías de comunicación y los medios de transporte en el territorio cordobés. Mis prioridades, en ese entonces, estaban acotadas en lo tocante a los distintos tipos de vehículos y caminos, a lo que se agregaban las descripciones terrioriales y localización de poblaciones, junto con la explotación de los recursos valorados económicamente en épocas pasadas y su circulación

Traffic Optimization Through Waiting Prediction and Evolutive Algorithms

Traffic optimization systems require optimization procedures to optimize traffic light timing settings in order to improve pedestrian and vehicle mobility. Traffic simulators allow obtaining accurate estimates of traffic behavior by applying different timing configurations, but require considerable computational time to perform validation tests. For this reason, this project proposes the development of traffic optimizations based on the estimation of vehicle waiting times through the use of different prediction techniques and the use of this estimation to subsequently apply evolutionary algorithms that allow the optimizations to be carried out. The combination of these two techniques leads to a considerable reduction in calculation time, which makes it possible to apply this system at runtime. The tests have been carried out on a real traffic junction on which different traffic volumes have been applied to analyze the performance of the system

Self-organizing multi-agent system for management and planning surveillance routes

This paper presents the THOMAS architecture, specially designed to model open multi-agent systems, and its application in the development of a multi-agent system for managing and planning surveillance routes for security personnel. THOMAS uses agents with reasoning and planning capabilities. These agents can perform a dynamic self-organization when they detect changes in the environment. THOMAS is appropriate for developing systems in highly dynamic environments similar to the one presented in this study, as demonstrated by the results obtained after having applied the system to a case study.Web of Science3151100108
