HERMES is a DRIVE II project which focuses mainly on the enhancement and application of traffic control strategies that are based on on-line origin/destination information automatic incident detection. The biggest workpackage within HERMES aims at the development of a new on-line traffic signal network control system named MOTION (Method for the Optimization of Traffic Signals In Online controlled Networks) This work is to some extent based on results already achieved previously in a project study made for the SIEMENS AG and in the DRIVE I project ODIN, where algorithms for the on-line estimation of origins and destinations of the major streams at single intersections and in wider urban road networks have been developed together with initial concepts for the use of this information in traffic control. Simulation results have already shown that improvements of 8% to 20% in the traffic performance are possible, if signal control schemes are based on O/D-information.

For the question of surface density controlled by manual measurement in production process and low quality and inefficiency, we designed the on-line monitoring and control system based on capacitive sensor. The principle is capacitive sensor can convert the surface density variation to the capacitance variation, after operational amplifier, rectifier circuit and filter circuit we can get the voltage signal related to surface density of lithium battery pole piece. The voltage signal through the A/D input module into the PLC for data processing, according to the results we can adjust the coat blade degree real-time. This will achieve the purpose of surface density uniformity. Using this system to replace traditional methods, the lithium battery pole piece surface density can be measured in intelligent, controlled in real-time and non-contact mode with high precision. And this system can improve the quality of lithium battery and the production efficiency, also with great reliability and feasibility.

In traditional bearing steel ball production, there is no automatic monitoring or control system. As a result, the forming defects and faults in the production process could not be found by the traditional manual detection method. In order to address this challenge, an on-line monitoring and control system for bearing steel ball production is proposed in this paper. The proposed system takes advantage of WiFi and Internet of Things, and it includes cold heading equipment forming quality monitoring system and grinding ball equipment pressure automatic control system. The proposed solution provides intelligent control in real-time and non-contact mode with high precision, and it improves the quality of steel ball and the production efficiency.

Underground mineral mining operations in the Norilsk Regions currently involve some essential changes connected with the requirement to maintain the production output at the wanted level and at demandable safety. In the meanwhile, the quality characteristics of minerals produced gradually worsen. In such situation, it is necessary to find a cardinally new approach to improving the crude ore quality by stabilizing composition of ore flow in the course of mining. The article discusses stabilization of ore composition in underground mines via modernization of information and control systems as a case-study of copper–nickel ore deposits in the Norilsk Region. The conceptual structure of the information and control system aimed at the ore flow quality stabilization is described. Such information and control system structure for the ore flow quality stabilization should provide all production control units with prompt and reliable data on the ore quality and its stability both for ore in situ and produced. The flowchart of the information acquisition, transfer and processing with the subsequent elaboration of a plan of strategic and tactical actions is critical and can, in the long view, become a mighty ore flow stabilizer capable effectively and considerably reduce variability of produced ore composition in the overall ore flow in a mine. The developed package of managerial, engineering and production activities makes the ore flow quality stabilization a controllable process. Its implementation allows enhancing technological efficiency not less than by 2 times, which can greatly improve performance in the whole mining and metallurgy sector.

A low cost microcomputer control facility for the teaching of computer control theory to final year undergraduates is described. The teaching objectives are the need to offer direct "hands-on" experience of operating an on-line digital computer control system and the provision of a versatile method of studying the efficacy of a range of different computer control algorithms, thus allowing theoretical concepts to be more immediately related to a realistic on-line control environment. The recent availability of microcomputers now makes the provision of such a low cost teaching facility a real possibility.

This paper describes the structure of a concept of the land brigade command information system that is a product of the research work of numerous experts throughout the years done in the then-Yugoslav Army, Army of Serbia and Montenegro and today's Army of the Republic of Serbia. The institution formed for this purpose is the Centre for Command Information Systems and Information Support where command information systems are studied continuously and systematically. Today the KIS represents a primary source needed to obtain an efficient military command management system and an instrument for multiplying combat power without increasing the number of units and combat resources. The KIS is a complex multidisciplinary system requiring the implementation of prototype evolution methodology. Due to its complexity, importance end sensitivity, the KIS has to be realized in one's own military R&D institutions belonging to the Ministry of defense, because only these institutions have adequate knowledge and facilities. Fast and ad-hoc solutions in this area are unacceptable from the military, specialized and economic point of view. The primary KIS br KoV structure concept relies on six types of KIS, five technical subsystems and a number of adequate information systems. The key segment are technical systems that represent one open technical and technological (hardware and software) platform in the realization of any KIS type. The KIS is a dynamic permanent system following the users' needs and technical technology changes. It is not, therefore, a closed and finally defined system, it is the system in continuous evolution, under construction and implementations. Introduction The concept described in this paper is the result of work of numerous people, authors included, engaged in the last twenty years of KIS research. The real balance of forces in combat does not depend so much on the potentials of warring parties but rather on the efficiency of command of combat units as well as of the speed of collecting, analyzing and using information with the main goal to make the optimal decision and make the most of one's own potentials, terrain features and enemy's weaknesses. Command and information systems A general definition of command and information systems is that they are the collection of hardware and software solutions used for real-time integration of all organizational structures, military doctrines, technical and technology systems, information flows and processes aiming at the realization of efficient and rational functioning of the military (units, headquarters, etc.). Basic elements in analyzing command management and command information systems A command information system is an element of the land brigade command system intended for the support of command management in securing and leading complex combat operations. The basic principles of the KIS architecture evolution The key factor is the fact that the KIS is a very complex multidisciplinary system requiring the application of the methodology of prototype evolution together with encompassing human and material resources for better effectiveness. Concept of the land brigade command information system On the basis of long-term research and the obtained experiences with practical solutions, the concept of the KIS br KoV is based on the decomposition model of the military command management system which is decomposed onto functional parts (macro-functions) and command unit operations in real time during combat. Conclusion Command information systems (KIS) today represent the basic instrument for efficient military command management systems rather than an instrument for the multiplication of combat power without increasing the number of units and combat resources. The KIS is a complex multidisciplinary system requiring the application of the prototype evolution methodology.
