The automotive industry is growing rapidly. Many innovations are being focused on the automotive industry and the connected vehicles concept is becoming more reality than ever. The vehicle is being connected to the cloud for more features and better control. A previous paper, “Firmware Over the Air for Automotive, FOTAMOTIVE” was published [1]. One of the main challenges for FOTAMOTIVE is the cost...
Flocking is a term that describes the behavior of a group of birds (a flock) in flight, or the swarming behavior of insects. This paper presents detailed information about how to use the flocking techniques to control a group of embedded controlled systems “Boids” such as ground systems (robotic vehicles/ swarm robots) in 2D and/or aerial systems (quadrotors) in 3D. Each one of these systems moves...
The technologies in the automotive industry are becoming smarter and more advanced than before. Complexity of vehicle electronics is becoming a greater issue and often caused by more interfaces, more connections, more displays, more user demand features and more suppliers. This means there is a great need to supply system updates to ensure higher quality and improve functionality. This paper introduces...
In this paper, we have evaluated five prediction approaches from two disciplines for condition‐based maintenance. It also includes a case study for vehicle tire pressure monitoring as an example application. Main focus of this paper is on two widely used areas in prediction: (i) statistics, (ii) neural networks. It is well known that these two areas have wide applications in forecasting. Statistical...
Retina blood vessel segmentation plays an important role in diagnosing the pathologies (diseases), which occur as swelling in parts of the vasculature, changing of width along blood vessels, and tortuosity that later on may cause blindness. In this paper, we have proposed a robust, combined method for blood tree segmentation on a 2D image. In our algorithms, the preprocessing takes place, such as...
In this article, we proposed a fast, adaptive, and single frequency based TDMA MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks. TDMA is a collision free and fair protocol by its definition. It has few deficiencies but that can be overcome by introducing some intelligent mechanisms. The proposed protocol has two variants: sensor-TDMA and sensor-TDMA with Virtual Cluster Election (VCE). It uses light-weight...
