Trip Optimizer is a locomotive control system enhancement applicable to diesel-electric hauled freight that can achieve double-digit fuel savings. Energy savings derive from managing train momentum, with anticipation of its effects, to reduce the net energy outlay by the train as it completes a trip. GE’s system has two major components: the first is a planning system that derives an optimal way to drive the train (throttle together with a corresponding speed trajectory versus distance) subject to speed restrictions along the route and locomotive operating constraints; the second is a dynamic control system that executes the plan closed-loop, correcting for modeling errors from various sources and assuring proper train handling consistent with railroad requirements. To compute a plan, information about the track to be traversed (grade and curvature versus milepost), the power consist makeup (number and type of operational locomotives) and load (tonnage, train length etc) is required together with updated speed restrictions, work crew locations, and other constraints that may vary from day-to-day. This paper first gives an overview of the Trip Optimizer system in operation as implemented on GE Evolution locomotives. Next, key components in the architecture are briefly described, including how the system is operated with the aid of graphic interfaces. Results of pilot testing of the production system on various revenue service trains on Class 1 railroad’s territories are then summarized to demonstrate actual fuel savings in the 4-13% range while achieving acceptable train handling.
This document proposes a routing coordination framework called PEMP (Peering Equilibrium MultiPath) that allows carriers to better coordinate their peering links through multi-path routing while preserving independence. PEMP uses the MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) attribute in BGP to signal routing and congestion costs between carriers. Carriers can then select Pareto-efficient Nash equilibria to determine optimal load balancing strategies. Simulations show that PEMP can decrease routing costs by 10% compared to BGP Multipath, and significantly improve route stability while avoiding congestion on peering links.

High data rate communication in terrestrial wireless scenarios can be accomplished by setting up Base Stations (BS) on the ground. But applying the similar technique to maritime communication may not be suitable because owing to the geographically constrained nature of the ocean, henceforth, MF/HF modems, extensive-distance transmission characteristics with low data-rate are commonly employed in maritime communiqué. Inmarsat is conservatively used in Maritime satellite communiqué in order to reimburse for low data-rate transmission of MF/HF modems, but its main negative aspect is high cost. To improve the transmission speed along with low price, in general, a network whose architecture is similar to Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET), that permits peer-to-peer transportation without BS, i.e., ad-hoc network is critical. An ad-hoc network for nautical environment named as Nautical Ad-hoc Network (NANET) was proposed. Multiple access and duplexing schemes are used to implement the nautical network for corresponding NANET scenarios.

This document reviews labour-based construction technology for sustainable rural infrastructure development in Nepal. It discusses how labour-based and equipment-based methods are the two main approaches used for rural road construction. Labour-based construction relies on local labour and tools, is more environmentally friendly, generates local employment, and helps alleviate poverty. However, equipment-based construction can be more efficient on difficult terrain. A case study compares three rural roads constructed using labour-based and equipment-based methods, finding that labour-based roads provided more local jobs but were more expensive, while equipment-based roads had higher costs but less local employment. The document concludes that labour-based construction is generally more suitable for rural areas due to local resource availability and costs

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
