Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures are enabling the gathering, processing and inference of a wide array of data, enabling more agile decision management frameworks in several contexts, including vehicle routing and navigation. Coupled with crowd-sensing, these decision management frameworks gain further advantage in terms of data availability. This work concerns itself with safety...
Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication systems enable vehicles to communicate with each other and use the shared information to make safety related decisions. However, the safety improvement of the current V2V systems only benefits V2V-enabled objects in the V2V network. The Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System (PAEB) can utilize onboard sensors to detect pedestrians and make safety related...
Cloud computing is gaining more and more popularity due to the wide use of the Internet. It can now be integrated into vehicle applications to enhance mobility, preventing accidents, improve safety, and improve driving comfort. In this paper, we propose a secure architecture of inter-vehicle communication which is obtained from a cloud services, including architecture level, communication level and...
Cyber-Physical System (CPS, shortly) is a fusion systems of computing and physical processes. It is a highly integration of computation, communication and control in the framework of networked embedded system. In this paper, we analyze the concept and feature of CPS and propose a graphical hierarchical architecture for CPS. It is a graphic network structure within the same layer and a hierarchical...
Creating autonomy for maritime vehicles that allows multiple developers and users to quickly integrate and develop capabilities is a difficult process. Multiple examples of autonomy exist; however, creating an environment that is modular and expandable is not often a goal of many autonomous systems. This work presents an advanced Autonomous Vehicle Architecture (AVA) for maritime systems that was...
Grid map offers a useful representation of the perceived world for mobile robotics navigation. It will play a major role for the safety (obstacle avoidance) of next generations of terrestrial vehicles, as well as for future autonomous navigation systems. In a grid map, the occupancy state of each cell represents a small piece of information of the surrounding area of the vehicle. The state of each...
This paper introduces techniques that help proving the safety of cooperative driving applications. Most automotive applications are evaluated by means of simulations and test tracks, which cannot provide the degree of confidence that is demanded by the driving public. We introduce probability verification as an evaluation tool that provides greater degree of confidence over safety. This technique...
This paper considers a path planning problem with two marsupial vehicles (one carrier vehicle and one passenger vehicle that is deployed by the carrier vehicle) exploring a planar area. This work is motivated by multi-agent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions in contested environments. The vehicles are heterogeneous, e.g., the carrier vehicle is faster than the passenger vehicle...
Many traffic accidents occur due to the driver's low vigilance and drowsiness, which causes huge economic losses and human life casualty. In this paper we propose a novel real-time service architecture for detecting driver's state and ensuring driving safety. Some automatic state detection services are also given inside the system architecture.
In the last twenty years, vehicles have become equipped with various sensors and resources, making them capable to communicate, to share resources and to behave cooperatively. This gave rise to the concept of vehicular cloud (VC). Vehicular cloud can be described from the standpoint of applications and services offered by vehicles that belong to a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). Because of the limitation...
Current transportation infrastructures are not designed to handle unexpected and undesired events or disasters. Emergency Vehicles (EV) such as ambulances, malfunctioning or broken cars, and accidents may appear at any time at any spot in the traffic. Less likely but not inevitably, there might be fires, terrorist attacks, earthquakes which will cause panic behaviour and unexpected traffic congestion...
This paper presents a simulation environment for testing and validation of a Mission Control System (MCS) of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) operating in environments with characteristics found in lakes of hydroelectric dams. The Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) is used as formalism for the analysis and modelling of the event-driven dynamics of the AUV, but also as the basis for the development...
We present a general architecture for intelligent vehicles, especially collaborative driving applications. Intelligent vehicles are similar to communication networks as both types of systems interact with physical world using devices that are rapidly evolving, while intelligent vehicles are more complicated than communication network because they interact with the physical world in not only, one but...
Over the past decade, a lot of researches have been done on the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Most of these ADAS are now active and need to be tested and evaluated before large deployment. In these ADAS, the prototyping and the implementation of the control stages are risky stages and not so easy to carry out. Indeed, the prototyping and the test of such reactive algorithms...
In this article we present a pattern classification system which uses Vector Symbolic Architecture (VSA) for representation, learning and subsequent classification of patterns, as a showcase we have used classification of vibration sensors measurements to vehicles types. On the quantitative side the proposed classifier requires only 1 kB of memory to classify an incoming signal against of several...
With an increase in the number of monitoring sensors deployed on physical infrastructures, there is a corresponding increase in data volumes that need to be processed. Data measured or collected by sensors is typically processed at destination or "in-transit" (i.e. from data capture to delivery to a user). When such data are processed in-transit over a shared distributed computing infrastructure,...
In this paper, we characterize the architecture of digital services that are enabled by embedded technology. Digitalization with embedded technology in physical products has become a common phenomenon. In spite of growing instance of such digitalization, little is known about the architectural characteristics of digital services enabled by embedded technology. Based on a research on vehicular remote...
Simulation has been widely used to estimate the benefits of ADAS with embedded sensors or more recently Cooperative Systems based on Inter-Vehicular Communications. This paper presents the proposal of a new architecture built with the both SiVIC and RTMaps platforms in order to prototype, to test and to validate eco-driving applications. In this architecture, the innovation is mainly due to the real-time...
This paper presents a new wireless platform designed for an integrated traffic monitoring system based on combined Lagrangian (mobile) and Eulerian (fixed) sensing. The sensor platform is built around a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 micro-controller and a 2.4GHz 802.15.4 ISM compliant radio module, and can be interfaced with fixed traffic sensors, or receive data from vehicle transponders. The platform is...
