Ramp event analysis for western Missouri
… and decreases in wind speed that produce "ramps" which affect wind power calculations and planning. Average wind speeds are predicted with a high level of accuracy; however variable winds that contain ramp events are not represented very accurately. To better understand variability in …

Process improvements during production ramp-up
Raytheon Company is currently ramping up production radars for a fighter aircraft. This product is doubling production in the next year to meet customer demand; however, the program has not been able to meet the current demand schedule for the radar. In addition, the cost of producing this radar is …

Biomechanical Adaptations to an Implemented Ramp Angle in Recreational Alpine Skiers
… ski boot-binding complexes have a negative ramp angle. This angle is not regulated or reported in the alpine ski industry, but may influence skier balance and pressure control. Thus, joint coordination and center of pressure maintenance in alpine skiers (n = 19) was investigated during …

Dynamic multi-ramp metering control with simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA)
Ramp metering was proven to be a viable form of freeway traffic control strategy, which could eliminate, or at least reduce, freeway congestion. In this study, the development of ramp metering control strategies, models, and constraints (e.g., meter locations, ramp storage capacities, lower and …

Evaluation of coordinated and local ramp metering algorithm using microscopic traffic simulation
Ramp meters are special traffic signals at the end of a freeway on-ramp that regulate the flow of traffic onto the mainline. The main purpose of ramp meters is to keep the mainline of the freeway from becoming overly congested, and to maximize the efficient use of freeway capacity. The first use of …
