Application of data analytics to transport corridor diagnostics and performance benchmarking
Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Venter, W.C. (IEEE, 2018)Increase in exports is essential for economic growth in developing countries. In Southern Africa the development of effective multi-national trade corridors is the single biggest stumbling block to achieve this objective. ... -
Designing a new methodology for customs risk models
Hoffman, Alwyn; Grater, Sonja; Venter, Willem C.; Maree, Juanita; Liebenberg, David (CCES, 2019)Effective risk management is a prerequisite to find an acceptable balance between the objectives of a customs operation and the streamlined flow of goods. The customs operations in many developing countries are characterised ... -
An explorative study into the effectiveness of a customs operation and its impact on trade
Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Venter, Willem C.; Grater, Sonia; Maree, Juantia; Liebenberg, David (CCES, 2018)There is a lack of overall efficiency in Sub-Saharan Africa’s logistics systems, with a large contributor to this problem being inefficient customs processes and unnecessary customs delays. Many comparisons have been ... -
Parameter analysis of the Jensen-Shannon divergence for shot boundary detection in streaming media applications
De Klerk, M.G.; Venter, W.C.; Hoffman, A.J. (SAIEE, 2018)Shot boundary detection is an integral part of multimedia, be it video management or video processing. Multiple boundary detection techniques have been developed throughout the years, but are only applicable to very ... -
Pebble Bed Micro Model system identification
Venter, W.C.; Lamprecht, E.C. (Elsevier, 2012)Linear system identification techniques will be applied to obtain mathematical models of a simulation of the Pebble Bed Micro Model (PBMM). The PBMM is a conceptual model of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR), a new high ... -
Power calculation accuracy as a function of wind data resolution
De Klerk, Martinus Gerhardus; Venter, Willem Christiaan (University of Cape Town. Energy Research Centre, 2017)Wind power calculations are usually based on average wind data taken over one-hour intervals. The effect of the wind data resolution on the statistical techniques used to calculate the probable power output (PPO) is commonly ... -
The product yield problem and the history and future of washability analysis
Dorland, Herman; Campbell, Q.; Le Roux, M.; Van Vuuren, P.; Venter, W.; Erasmus, P.; Wagner, N.; Dorland, M. (International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2016) -
Using visual texture analysis to classify raw coal components
Van Vuuren, Pieter A.; Le Roux, M.; Venter, W.C.; Campbell, Q.P.; Dorland, H.C. (IEEE, 2015)Coal ore isn’t a uniform material. In order to optimize the coal liberation process it is necessary to classify a coal ore sample into its constituent components as quickly and cheaply possible. This paper investigates ...
