    Abstract: This paper addresses the design of robust Kalman estimators (filter, predictor and smoother) for the time-varying system with uncertain noise variances. According to the unbiased linear minimum variance (ULMV) optimal estimation rule, the robust time-varying Kalman estimators are presented. Specially, two robust Kalman smoothing algorithms are pres... Show More

    Abstract: Under drastic competition, major express companies have increased their daily delivery frequency to improve customer satisfaction and market share. The inverse relationship of frequency with cost and operational efficiency becomes the key to the decision of delivery frequency. This paper uses JD Logistics as an example to quantitatively analyze the... Show More
