Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and computer system for traffic control. A computer determines an uncommitted demand and receives a supply pattern from an adjacent downstream node. The computer aggregates the supply pattern with its own supply pattern before propagating the supply pattern to an adjacent upstream node. Moreover, the computer receives a committed demand and demand weight pattern from an upstream node and aggregates the committed demand and demand weight patterns with its own before propagating the aggregated committed demand and demand weight patterns to an adjacent downstream node. The computer further allocates a remaining downstream supply to the uncommitted demand based on weight and detects pending slot position conflicts. Based on detecting a pending slot position conflict, the computer configures a pattern shift and commits the available downstream supply as upstream committed demand.

Abstract: A system for adjusting the damper force on the suspension system of a bicycle is provided. Sensors are placed on the front shock and rear shock to measure the amplitude of displacement or acceleration in the time domain and generate a zenith position, velocity, force, and work based on the measured values.

Abstract: A detection ECU detects left and right lane lines that define a driving lane from an image captured by an in-vehicle camera, by detecting a roadside as a side of a road where the own vehicle travels, from information of reflected waves received from a radar device. The detection ECU determines whether an estimated width indicating the width of a detected roadside and a detected lane line on a roadside side is narrower than the predetermined width. When the detection ECU determines that the estimated width is narrower than the predetermined width, it sets the predetermined position to be a position distant from the lane line on a roadside side in the estimated driving lane, than when the estimated width is determined not to be narrower than the predetermined width.
