This work investigates the incorporation of a risk metric based on time to collision for Adaptive Cruise Control applications on multi-lane motorways. To improve the fuel-efficiency and safety, a stochastic model predictive control approach is suggested that limits the violation probability of the imposed risk metric. For this reason, a Bayesian network is used to predict the probability distributions...
The quality and impact of application system messages (ASMs) is an important yet neglected area of human computer interaction (HCI) in healthcare. Complex, technical, uninformative ASMs contribute towards user frustration, lack of acceptance, may lead to interruptions in healthcare workflow, and impact patient safety. ASMs refer to messages displayed within a software application and includes error...
The ability to utilize and link diverse sources of off-board and on-board information will play a crucial role in the design of the next generation of connected powertrain energy management functions and ADAS. This will lead to considerable development challenges, especially with respect to reproducible testing and validation. In this article, a seamless office-to-rig-to-road development methodology...
Today's Electric Vehicles (EVs) have limited driving ranges. Therefore, great efforts are being made in this direction, e.g. higher capacity batteries, powertrain efficiency, etc. This paper aims at gathering the information concerning the process of HMI concept definition, development and integration in an advanced co-simulation environment as a support tool for specific function development process...
Increasingly intelligent vehicle driving systems are rapidly being developed, and will in the future become a necessity for sustainable, convenient and safe mobility in our ever more urbanized world. This paper presents an innovative approach for the control of a fully electric vehicle approaching a road segment with Multiple Traffic Lights (TL). By utilizing Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure...
This paper explores a computational deblurring algorithm that will ultimately be implemented in an embedded system with a targeted form factor of 2″×2″×3″. The deblurring algorithm completes a Fourier filtering step followed by a wavelet transform denoising step on a 1080×1920 Bayer input 30 frame per second video feed. A major challenge in performing this processing in real time is that the wavelet...
We report an InP coherent receiver chip with the highest reported responsivity (0.15A/W) together with excellent RF bandwidth (32GHz) and 4×4 MMI width fabrication control (< ±60nm 90% population) providing a highly manufacturable Rx for CFP2 modules.
Electronic government (e-Government) has endured significant transformation over the last decade and currently, it is making further leaps by incorporating modern technologies such as second generation web (Web 2.0) technologies. However, since the development and use of this kind of technology is still at its early stages in the public sector, research about the use of Web 2.0 in this domain is still...
This paper briefly describes the latest achievements of a new functional vehicle system to overcome the range anxiety problem of Fully Electric Vehicles (FEV). This is primarily achieved by integrated control and operation strategies to optimize the driving range. The main focus of these control strategies is cooperated electric drivetrain and regenerative braking system. The diverse source of information...
Governments employ information technology and increasingly e-Government to conduct daily operations and to interface with their citizens. Operations must be conducted securely and with an assurance that information is accurate and protected from unauthorized disclosure to protect the privacy of citizens. Governments must also ensure the safety and security of its citizens, and information technology...
The deployment of e-government continues at a significant cost and pace in the worldwide public sector. An important area of research is that of the evaluation of e-government. In this paper the authors report the findings from three interpretive in-depth organisational case studies that explore e-government evaluation within UK public sector settings. The paper elicits insights to organisational...
