Uma abordagem evolucionária para o planejamento online de rotas para múltiplos robôs móveis em ambiente multiagente

O problema de planejamento de rotas de robôs móveis consiste em determinar a melhor rota para um robô, em um ambiente estático e/ou dinâmico, que seja capaz de deslocá-lo de um ponto inicial até e um ponto final, também em conhecido como estado objetivo. O presente trabalho emprega o uso de uma abordagem baseada em Algoritmos Genéticos para o planejamento de rotas de múltiplos robôs em um ambiente complexo composto por obstáculos fixos e obstáculos moveis. Através da implementação do modelo no software do NetLogo, uma ferramenta utilizada em simulações de aplicações multiagentes, possibilitou-se a modelagem de robôs e obstáculos presentes no ambiente como agentes interativos, viabilizando assim o desenvolvimento de processos de detecção e desvio de obstáculos. A abordagem empregada busca pela melhor rota para robôs e apresenta um modelo composto pelos operadores básicos de reprodução e mutação, acrescido de um novo operador duplo de refinamento capaz de aperfeiçoar as melhores soluções encontradas através da eliminação de movimentos inúteis. Além disso, o calculo da rota de cada robô adota um método de geração de subtrechos, ou seja, não calcula apenas uma unica rota que conecta os pontos inicial e final do cenário, mas sim várias pequenas subrotas que conectadas formam um caminho único capaz de levar o robô ao estado objetivo. Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos dois cenários, para avaliação da sua escalabilidade: o primeiro consiste em um cenário simples composto apenas por um robô, um obstáculo movel e alguns obstáculos fixos; já o segundo, apresenta um cenário mais robusto, mais amplo, composto por múltiplos robôs e diversos obstáculos fixos e moveis. Ao final, testes de desempenho comparativos foram efetuados entre a abordagem baseada em Algoritmos Genéticos e o Algoritmo A*. Como critério de comparação foi utilizado o tamanho das rotas obtidas nas vinte simulações executadas em cada abordagem. A analise dos resultados foi especificada através do Teste t de Student.

Modelo para formação dinâmica de rede de fornecedores em empresas estendidas

Supply chains have become an important focus for competitive advantage. The performance of a company increasingly depends on its ability to maintain effective and efficient relationships with its suppliers and customers. The extended enterprise (i.e. composed of several partners) needs to be dynamically formed in order to be agile and adaptable. According to the Digital Manufacturing paradigm, companies have to be able to quickly share and disseminate information regarding planning, designing and manufacturing of products. Additionally, they must be responsive to all technical and business determinants, as well as be assessed and certified for guaranteed performance. The current research intends to present a solution for the dynamic composition of the extended enterprise, formed to take advantage of market opportunities quickly and efficiently. A construction model was developed. This construction model consists of: information model, protocol model and process model. The information model has been defined based on the concepts of Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®). In this model is defined information for negotiating the participation of candidate companies in the dynamic establishment of a network for responding to a given demand for developing and manufacturing products, in seven steps as follows: request for information; request for qualification; alignment of strategy; request for proposal; request for quotation; compatibility of process; and compatibility of system. The protocol model has been elaborated and inspired in the OSI, this model provides a framework for linking customers and suppliers, indicates a sequence to be followed, in order to selecte companies to become suppliers. The process model has been implemented by means of process modeling according to the BPMN standard and, in turn, implemented as a web-based application that runs the process through its several steps, which uses forms to gather data. An application example in the context of the oil and gas industry is used for demonstrating the solution concept.

MOBILIDADE URBANA SUSTENTÁVEL E A SUA VIABILIDADE NAS CIDADES MÉDIAS: ESTUDO DE REFERÊNCIA DE ARAGUARI/MG

As cidades médias brasileiras apresentam potencialidade para investimentos. Isto implica no surgimento de novas demandas e na necessidade do fortalecimento da gestão municipal. O lento avanço das políticas públicas urbanas para promover ordenamento urbano sustentável é preocupante. Entre os problemas encontrados nos grandes centros urbanos e já verificados nas cidades médias está a situação do sistema de transporte urbano. Este apresenta uma matriz de deslocamento não sustentável. O presente trabalho tem por escopos apresentar as diretrizes da Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana (PNMU) e diagnosticar a mobilidade de pedestres, ciclistas e usuários do transporte público da cidade de Araguari e sua forma de organização. A metodologia a ser utilizada consiste em pesquisa bibliográfica referente às temáticas da urbanização, planejamento e mobilidade urbana. Será realizado levantamento de dados primários e secundários, além do apontamento das características a serem exploradas e das fragilidades a serem combatidas através de um processo de gestão.

CRESCIMENTO URBANO FRAGMENTADO: DINÂMICA NAS CIDADES BRASILEIRAS

As cidades se consolidaram ao longo do século XX, como o palco da vida humana, formando aglomerações, regiões metropolitanas, cidades médias, pequenas ou núcleos urbanos, pelos fenômenos de dispersão e concentração, acarretando modificações profundas nas estruturas dos tecidos históricos, especialmente no Brasil. Nesse processo, constata-se que as cidades não se moldaram ao espaço que a envolve, percebe-se que há uma inversão na escala intra-urbana: o centro e a periferia assumem papeis diferentes, evidenciando os tempos de constituição da cidade, de forma fragmentada ou reforçando estruturas anteriores. Os limites iniciais das cidades são superados, com a consolidação das áreas mais periféricas em contraposição à degradação ou destruição das áreas históricas. Há um prolongamento da área urbanizada, o que modifica as relações com o suporte físico, pela inserção de redes e fluxos que se organizam e ampliam fronteiras, fragmentando ou definindo cidades regiões urbanas. Na produção urbana capitalista, onde se manifesta claramente a compressão do espaço-tempo, a reprodução material nas cidades se reestrutura constantemente, fragmentando, redesenhando espaços, ao mesmo tempo em que consolidam novas áreas que vão sendo apropriadas pelos agentes sociais urbanos. Entender esse processo é fundamental para que as ações de planejamento urbano e ambiental considerem a dinâmica de transformação constante das cidades, tanto nas suas relações internas como externas.
