Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Sense of Progression and Cognitive Distance on Path Choice and Walking Behavior While Aiming To Reach DestinationMohammad Paydar, Samira RamezaniProblem statement: Studies focused on walking behavior have indicated the relationship of different factors of built environment with walking to reach destination and walking for recreation. Furthermore, according to literature on path choice behavior, there is a relationship between walking behavior and path choice of pedestrians. Empirical studies on path choice behavior have also shown that the effects of different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,162 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeographic Information System-Allocation Model for Forest Path: A Case Study in Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, MalaysiaI. Mohd Hasmadi, H. Z. Pakhriazad, F. S. MohamadProblem statement: Forest road planning requires a host of information, particularly the availability of spatial and non-spatial data. The requirement of a planning system or tools to gather, integrate and manipulate all data is essential. The ability of Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate such massive information and develop a spatial model of earth features will lead to time and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,014 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVision-Based Obstacle Avoidance of Mobile Robot Using Quantized Spatial ModelSalaheddin Odeh, Rasha Faqeh, Laila Abu Eid, Nihal ShamasnehProblem statement: Problem of moving a robot through unknown environment has attracted much attention over past two decades. Such problems have several difficulties and complexities that are unobserved, besides the ambiguity of how this can be achieved since a robot may encounter obstacles of all forms that must be bypassed in an intelligent manner. This research had been aimed to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,053 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSchedule Planning for Repairing Power Supply SystemKuo-Wei Lin, Chein-Jen KangProblem statement: Taiwan is located in the tropical ocean areas. The strong typhoon in summer often causes the collapse of electric transmission towers and results in power outages that seriously affect people’s lives and industrial production. Approach: In light of this situation, this study aims to employ project management techniques of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a practical TOC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,172 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOn Calculating Activity Slack in Stochastic Project NetworksGary MitchellProblem statement: Identifying critical tasks in a project network is easily done when task times are deterministic, but doing so under stochastic task times is problematic. The few methods that have been proposed contain serious drawbacks which lead to identifying critical tasks incorrectly, leaving project managers without the means to (1) identify and rank the most probable sources of project … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,227 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordVisualization of Available Power Transfer Capability in a Transmission System Using Morphological TechniquesS. U. Prabha, B. S. Dayasagar, C. VenkataseshaiahA morphological decimation technique has been proposed and implemented to analyze the available power transfer capability in a transmission power network. The method creates a graphical image of the power network with thickness of the lines proportional to their respective rated megavolt ampere (MVA) capacity. Based on ac load flow solution, another image was created to represent the power flow … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,102 accessesView PDF Cite
