To reduce the amount of CO2 produced from the personal cars in the world, the parking lot guidance systems are considered to be the solution in shopping malls or department stores in many countries. However, most of the current parking lot systems are located in the parking area of each shopping mall and they cannot show the parking lots information for the driver that are driving on the road. So,...
We often take Web connectivity for granted. This can be the case in our houses where we rely on more and more devices that connect to the Internet and exchange information with remote servers or other nearby devices around using cheap Wi-Fi radios. However, the world remains for the most part disconnected. There are still uncountable remote areas where connecting to the Internet is still a big challenge...
Networks of systems are pervasive, their behaviour can be highly complex, and network effects are now being perceived as something fundamental to understand what is going around us. This is the reason why networks are receiving a significant attention in physics, biology, climatology, and social, among others. The work undertaken presents a prototype of a low cost and easy to deploy autonomous quadcopter...
Underwater communication and robot technologies have grown rapidly in the last decade. Systems made of underwater unmanned vehicles have moved from single vehicle deployments to systems comprising teams of assets. As of today the possibility to support cooperation and interoperability of heterogeneous platforms is a key issue. The objective of this paper is to present the SUNRISE [1] approach to overcome...
In the process of controlling a high speed train, the driver is aware of the train operation status and the command information from the wayside equipment by observing the onboard DMI (driver-machine interface), and inputs the relevant parameters and commands according to the requirements, so as to realize the safe operation of train under the supervision and protection of the train control system...
Internet of Things concept as a possibility to combine different devices from different areas results in exchange of different data types through different networks. Possibilities and major features of different data exchange and services binding using Internet of Things are described in this paper. An implementation of Internet of Things device and system for vehicle toll payment through the Internet...
Cyber security concerns in the automotive industry have been constantly increasing as automobiles are more computerized and networked. Recent successful hacks of modern vehicles demonstrate the big security concerns for automotive systems. However it is still very hard and even impossible to predict what kinds of security issues will happen. In this paper, we present the automotive security concerns...
This paper proposes a gateway framework for in-vehicle networks (IVNs) based on the controller area network (CAN), FlexRay, and Ethernet. The proposed gateway framework is designed to be easy to reuse and verify to reduce development costs and time. The gateway framework can be configured, and its verification environment is automatically generated by a program with a dedicated graphical user interface...
In the first part of this paper the operation mechanism of exchanging the data used in vehicles and equipment as well as the applied security measures have been presented. In the further part of the work, the identification method for the data in the network, for which the encoding system is not known, has been discussed. Subsequently, a suggestion of the decoding method for the network-derived data...
Detection of train integrity is a very important research matter affecting safety and more generally railway engineering. Actually the ETCS Level 1 and 2 provide the train integrity and localization functionalities by using track circuits and/or axle counter systems: the problem of these solutions is represented by the high cost of track circuit and axle counter installation, taking into account even...
A key to developing autonomous maritime systems for NATO is communication among data gathering platforms below and above the water. However, unlike the mature technologies that are used for terrestrial networks, underwater communications is still in an early stage. This paper provides an overview of CMRE's activities in the field of underwater communications where emphasis has been put in addressing...
In this study an image processing based application for system monitoring and analysis of vehicles traffic on toll road was developed. The method used to detect a vehicle in the daytime is based on the background subtraction method. While to detect cars in the night condition, a new algorithm was developed using car lights features. The experimental results show that background subtraction method...
The V2G (Vehicle to Grid) communication is used for exchanging various information between EV (Electric Vehicle) and smart grid. The ISO/IEC 15118 is the typical V2G communication standard. Although many automobile companies have a developed the charging application software based on the ISO/IEC 15118 standard, there is not much software for the reliability test of the EV charging application developed...
The Ethernet-based diagnosis protocol is widely used in automotive systems. Diagnostic gateways have been developed for seamlessly interconnect with Ethernet based diagnostic protocols and traditional in-vehicle network protocols, such as local interconnect network (LIN), controller area network (CAN), FlexRay. A diagnostic gateway is connected to the Internet and manages the interconnection between...
Multi-touch interfaces across a wide range of hardware platforms are becoming pervasive. This is due to the adoption of smart phones and tablets in both the consumer and corporate market place. This paper proposes a human-machine interface to interact with unmanned aerial systems based on the philosophy of multi-touch hardware-independent high-level interaction with multiple systems simultaneously...
This paper addresses the development and implementation of a testbed for object's manipulation by using unmanned aerial vehicles AR.Drone and the VICON Cameras System. Such testbed allows the user to choose among two development environments to perform aerial manipulation establishing a communication with LabVIEW, ROS and the C++ Qt library; thus, the user can employ the development environment more...
The growing complexity of embedded systems software entails new development techniques. Component-Based Software Engineering is undoubtedly suitable for the development of complex systems thanks to its inherent component reuse. Another approach to reduce software complexity is by partitioning the system behavior into different operational modes. Each mode is associated with a unique behavior and the...
This paper presents an investigation into the potential benefits of the provision of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) ancillary services, from the aggregated utilisation of a number of grid connected electric vehicles (EV) batteries, through the use of a bi-directional converter between the EV and the electricity grid. Further, the V2G charger must be capable of remote control from a central V2G management centre...
A vehicle control system based on Bluetooth 4.0 on smartphone platform is designed in this paper. The system uses Apple iPhone4s and TI CC2540 which supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) specification to realize short-range communications. On the one hand, vehicle BCM (Body Control Module) with CC2540 collects the car information by CAN in real-time. On the other hand, the smartphone connects CC2540...
This paper describes the open-source software toolchain developed by the Underwater Systems and Technology Laboratory (LSTS) for supporting networked heterogeneous air and ocean vehicle systems. The toolchain supports the deployment of air and ocean vehicles interacting over limited acoustic and wireless networks combined with disruption-tolerant networking protocols. We present the different components...
