An assurance method for functional system expansion of Tokyo metropolitan railway system
2009 International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems, 2009Autonomous decentralized system (ADS) architecture has been used mainly to realize high assurance control system. However, ADS architecture proposed previously is too simple to apply large-scale complicated system. In this paper, we clarify that large-scale ADS is represented by hierarchical three layers structure and many ADS sub-systems are connected

Assessment of the reactivity of expansive soil in Melbourne metropolitan area
2016Expansive or reactive soil refers to clay soils that undergo significant volume change in response to changes in soil suction. This volume change occurs as swelling upon wetting, and shrinkage upon drying. In Australia, the design of residential slab constructed on expansive soil is based on the estimated ground surface movement, ys.
