Abstract

Positioning systems have wide range of applications with the developing technology. Global Positioning System (GPS) is an efficient solution for outdoor applications but it gives poor accuracy in indoor environment. And, various methods are proposed in the literature such as geometric-based, fingerprint-based, etc. In this study, a hybrid approach that uses both clustering and classification is developed for fingerprint-based method. Information gain based feature selection method is used for selection of the most appropriate features from the WiFi fingerprint dataset in the initial step of this approach. Then, Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is applied for clustering purpose. Then, decision tree algorithm is used as a classification task for each cluster. Experimental results indicate that applied algorithms lead to a substantial improvement on localization accuracy. Since, cluster specific decision tree models reduce the size of the tree significantly; computational time of position phase is also reduced.

Abstract

Nowadays, automatic systems become crucial in many factories to achieve some tasks such as minimizing cost, maximizing efficiency, quality, and reliability. The planning is important for manufacturing systems to adopt changing conditions. Also, manufacturers want to obtain fast, reliable, qualified and economic products. Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) are used to meet this need. FMSs make production fast, qualified, reliable and economic by using computer-controlled structure that includes robots and transportation systems. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and FMS are thought to be integrated because FMSs use AGVs as a part of transportation in the factory. AGVs are used to carry loads, in other words products, in production areas, warehouses, factories that use magnets, landmarks, laser sensors, lines to know where they are. AGV scheduling and routing is NP-hard and open-ended problems. In the literature, there are many algorithms and methods are proposed to solve these problems. In this study, we present a hybrid algorithm that is composed of simulated annealing (SA) and Dijkstra’s algorithm to solve the routing problem. The hybrid algorithm is compared with SA algorithm in terms of distance cost using benchmark problems in the literature.
