Design methodology of analytical games for knowledge acquisition

Analytical games explore a problem or a domain with a research purpose. Considerable research is ongoing to investigate improvements to analytical game design, execution and exploitation. Moreover, the fast-paced technological developments in many fields, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, make it even more compellingto account for the advantages and limitations of these new capabilities. In game design, the use of digital means is often regarded as a mere technical factor that relates to the platform selection, facilitator support and data recording processes. In this work a shift in perspective is proposed, to move from technology-oriented design selection criteria towards a broader assessment of the design choices. In fact, the introductionof technology (i.e., automation and autonomy) will not lead to a substitution of tasks, but will intrinsically change the game environment. This work introduces a framework to provide a structured guidance on the aspects to be factored in the different design phases of an analytical game, including the potential impact of the adoption of automation and autonomy. The proposed approach is based on previous research in the fieldof simulation-based serious gaming, model-driven engineering and human factors engineering. The framework is applied to Knowledge Acquisition Analytical Games as a case study.

Model-Based Analysis and Improvement of Vehicle Radiation Emissions at Low Frequency

With the development of electrification and intelligence, the electromagnetic environment of intelligent and electric vehicles becomes complicated and critical because of the high voltage/current of power components, the computation units with high frequency and the dense radio systems. These pose great challenges for the design of vehicle radiation emissions. To improve the development efficiency, a model-based analysis and improvement strategy is proposed. Firstly, a topological approach is presented to decouple and model the vehicle-level radiation problem. By this topological model, each technical factor is analyzed from both of its contribution and sensitivity to the radiation emission, which are further integrated together using the entropy weight method to generate the technical evaluation score. Then, other untechnical factors, i.e., the cost and application difficulty, are further combined with the technical evaluation results by the analytic hierarchy process to determine the final solution. This strategy has been applied to solve a radiation problem of an electric vehicle at low frequency to validate its effectiveness and show some application details.

Safety Risk Management in Dam Construction Projects: Literature Review

Safety risk assessment in dams is a traditional and modern approach to the engineering process of dams on safety systems so as to produce a design history that has a good overall record and integrity. With this approach for both old and new dams, this safety risk assessment aims to determine whether the risk the hazard can be tolerated or not, if it cannot be tolerated then there must be a solution for action to reduce the risk of danger so that the safety of the dam can be obtained. The existing risk assessment can be used as the basis for the construction of the dam to its maintenance, in this study discussed risk assessment safety on dams located in several countries such as in Asia, Europe and America. The methods implemented include the preparation of safety risks, risk analysis, risk evaluation and safety risk management.
