Sense of self-agency has been proposed in psychology field, and it is the sense that I am the initiator or source of the action. Human perception should be considered to design a better interface, so that sense of agency is spotlighted in ergonomics and robotics interface design field. In previous study we concluded that sense of agency is affected by both of a noise and a delay in the case of an...
We carried out an experiment to observe the role of transportation for adolescent female students in rural Bangladesh. A senior high school (in Bangladesh, they call it a college) student spends 180-230 minutes to travel only 22km (11 km, single trip) on an average to commute from home to college. Local transport (Tomtom) stops are not always close to their home. The walk 4km to get to the nearest...
An automobile based on virtual path algorithm has been presented in this paper. The paper is useful in designing a vehicle which moves from one point to another with minimum human intervention. To achieve this, virtual path concept is used. To design a virtual path, a set of co-ordinates required to reach destination from origin is calculated. Based on these co-ordinates the automobile takes its own...
This paper illustrates a model on how to use the various energies that get wasted from an automobile. This includes the following energies: Solar, Wind, Noise. This conversion of various forms of energy helps to meet the immediate needs while travelling in an automobile such as charging a laptop, charging mobile phones.
A path following algorithm for urban driving is presented in this paper. The algorithm is designed specially to reduce path following errors caused by cornering and unsuitable set speed. We introduce a circular look-ahead (CLA) steering controller which can control a car to precisely follow a path even on a curvy road, and also propose a speed control algorithm integrated with the CLA steering controller...
In this paper, performance limitations and constraints for an actively controlled quarter- car model subject to white or colored-noise velocity road inputs are investigated. It is demonstrated that tire damping by coupling the motions of the sprung and unsprung masses eliminates a wheel-hop mode constraint; thus reduces the rms sprung mass vertical acceleration without increasing the rms suspension...
