    Existing parking guidance systems only provide road guidance outside the parking lot but do not provide accurate guidance to specific parking spaces inside the parking lot. By using a Kalman filter, the Grubbs test, and a neural network algorithm to improve the RSSI-based location fingerprint identification technology, an accurate location method based on indoor Wi-Fi is obtained, which implements precise route guidance and a reverse search function for parking spaces. We utilize Beidou positioning to develop a Gaode map for outdoor navigation and use an integrated system of ultrasonic detector/indicators and ground locks to manage parking spaces. Through the secondary development of an Android system and the application of a MySql database, an app for precise parking guidance was developed. The system makes full use of the Internet and parking information, eliminates information asymmetry, improves the utilization ratio of the urban static traffic resources, allocates parking spaces in real-time, breaks information islands, provides parking search and recommendation functions for users, achieves parking information-sharing, and effectively improves parking efficiency and the parking utilization ratio

    We analyze the nonlinear optical response of a five-level system under a novel configuration of electro-magnetically induced transparency. We show that a giant Kerr nonlinearity with a relatively large cross-phase modulation coefficient that occurs in such system may be used to produce an efficient photon-photon entanglement. We demonstrate that such photon-photon entanglement is practically controllable and hence facilitates promising applications in quantum information and computation.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 1 column. We have added a section in which the distortion of pulses due to the dispersion is considere

    Bifurcation analysis and control for surge model via the projection method

    No full text
    A bifurcation approach is adopted to analyze and control the surge model for axial flow compressors. An explicit expression is obtained for the first nonzero coefficient of the characteristic exponents of the periodic solutions born from the Hopf bifurcation associated with surge. The sign of this coefficient determines stability of the surge model at the criticality. Local nonlinear feedback control laws are then developed to stabilize the Hopf bifurcation associated with surge. Both quadratic and cubic state feedback control laws are investigated. Feedback stabilization using output measurement such as pressure rise is also studied where stabilizing gains are characterized that can be used for synthesis of surge control laws. © 1998 AACC

    A graph subspace approach to system identification based on errors-in-variables system models

    No full text
    System identification based on the errors-in-variables (EIV) system model has been investigated by a number of people, led by Söderström and others. The total least-squares (TLS) algorithm is now well known, and has been effective for estimating the system parameters. In this paper, we first show that the TLS algorithm computes approximate maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the system parameters. Then we propose a graph subspace approach to tackle the same EIV identification problem, and derive a new estimation algorithm that is more general than the TLS algorithm. Two numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the proposed estimation algorithm for the EIV-based system identification

    Stability analysis for nonlinear feedback control systems with linear actuators

    No full text
    Often, nonlinear feedback controllers are implemented with linear actuators, which have faster dynamics when compared with non-linear dynamics of the plant and controller models. However, how faster should the dynamics of the linear actuator be to ensure stability of the given nonlinear feedback control system? This note gives an analysis for the underlying stability issues and provides quantitative measures for the linear actuators employed in nonlinear feedback control systems
