The purpose of this invited plenary paper is to present authors' ideas of the actual state of the smart transport and trends of its potential further development, including a brief outline of visions going up to both short-time and long-time horizons. The aim is to create a framework for another wide domain where machine intelligence and informatics (the main topics of the SAMI 2016 conference) could...
This study models instant online networking multi-car positioning and communication system development. This cloud networking online instant multi-car positioning and communication technology achieves APP Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications using 3.5G wireless transmission medium. The message traffic driver data source and information are transmitted through mobile devices such as cell phones,...
Research about vehicle recognition and adaptive cruise control is emerging recently, using various sensory resources. There are many sensors like cameras, GPS, accelerometers, radars etc., which are used for detecting edges of the road, traffic signs, cars or pedestrians. There are many different sensors to access the objects' data information. This paper presents defining the width of the road and...
A vehicle augmented reality system provides the warning, safety and route information which are registered on the real car or road or lane at the driver's range of vision for safety and convenience. This system helps the driver to drive safely by enhancing the perception of the driver. We have developed the vehicle augmented reality system which provides the forward situation awareness service and...
Autonomous cars are the future smart cars anticipated to be driver less, efficient and crash avoiding ideal urban car of the future. To reach this goal automakers have started working in this area to realized the potential and solve the challenges currently in this area to reach the expected outcome. In this regard the first challenge would be to customize and imbibe existing technology in conventional...
We introduce a new view of parked cars as a massive, flexible resource that is currently wasted. Given the power supply in batteries as well as computing, communication, and sensing facilities in cars in conjunction with the precise localization they can provide, parked cars have the potential to serve as a service delivery platform with a wide range of possibilities. We describe diverse applications...
This abstract proposes a novel approach to prevent accidents when the driver becomes unconscious or if he is in an intoxicated state. An integrated system of sensors and alarms are designed for the same. Using a high-resolution eye camera, pupil dilation is detected and tested against a pre-determined set of data value to confirm the persons mental stability. A non-invasive method is employed to check...
Active safety systems for automotive vehicles rely on estimates of the unmeasured vehicle velocity vector. This velocity vector is easily estimated using kinematic equations if the wheels do not slip on the road, but it is precisely in situations involving significant wheel slip that an accurate estimate of the velocity vector is most needed. This paper presents a velocity estimation algorithm for...
A new floating car data technology in Hefei has been developed that provides real-time traffic information within Hefei's two ring road. It is based on the collection of localisation data, speed, direction of travel and time information from GPS in vehicles that are being driven. The scope of the project is to development and creation of a Web-based data mart for the collection of FCD. The aim of...
In this paper, a nonlinear observer based analytical redundancy methodology is presented for fault tolerant control of a steer by wire (SBW) system. A long-range predictor based on Diophantine identity has been utilized to improve the fault detection efficiency. The overall predictive fault tolerant control strategy was then implemented and validated on a steer by wire hardware in loop bench. The...
This paper proposes an automated steering control system for passenger cars. The control strategy used is a look-down reference system which uses a sensor at the front bumper to measure the lateral displacement and a GPS to measure the heading orientation. Firstly, the road curvature estimator is designed based on the steering angle. Secondly, the steering angles can be estimated by using the sensor...
One opportunity to manage the increase of freight transportation and to optimize utilization of motorway capacities is the concept of truck platoons. With the aid of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, trucks are electronically coupled keeping very short gaps (approx. 10 meters) to form truck platoons on motorways. This contributes to optimization of traffic flow and reduction of fuel consumption...
The sensors present in modern premium cars deliver a wealth of information. We will in this work illustrate one way of making better use of the sensor information already present in modern premium cars. More specifically, we will show how a far infrared (FIR) camera can be used to enhance the estimates of the vehicle ego-motion and indirectly the road geometry in 3D. The FIR camera is primarily intended...
The control objective in this paper is to improve the ride comfort and the road holding ability, while maintaining the constraint on suspension deflection, for the semi-active suspension system equipped with a MR damper and a suspension relative displacement sensor. Two optimal control strategies are investigated: First, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control is investigated from the perspective...
This paper presents a real-time moving object detection method using the wavelet-based neural networks for the pre-crash safety system of a vehicle. The proposed method uses stationary infrared cameras to sense vehicles and obstacles on the road ahead, and the CarPC to determine whether or not a collision is based on the speed, position, and traveling route of the object. In this method, the stationary...
We present an adaptive brake warning system in order to help a driver keep a safe distance from the cars in front to avoid rear-end collisions. The safe distance continuously varies according to the carpsilas velocity, driving events, and road conditions. Three sensors, an ECU reader, a camera, and a laser range finder, are used to collect the vehicular velocity, the density of cars on the road and...
The idea of linguistic variable in fuzzy logic allows the representation of the subjective meaning of a measure at a given instant of time. This paper explores possibilities of extending the concept of linguistic term to create the linguistic description of the temporal evolution of a signal. We focus our effort in signals that, having potentially an infinite duration, present more or less repetitive...
In this paper, we show the concept of an automotive situation analysis (ASA) to determine the current driving situation in a given traffic scenario. To fulfill these we propose a consistent and extendable description of a driving situation, a situation model and a situation analysis. In the situation model, information of in-car sensors is used to build up a representation of the environment around...
