This paper presents a computational model capable of improving the action policies for a well-defined domain. Each action policy is represented as a driving plan P, which is composed of a number of actions {a1, ∶ an}. These actions can be used to move a train in a stretch of railroad Sti. The plans are elaborated using a CBR approach and reusing previous solutions and learning from plans. The CBR...
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...
This paper has discussed about smart transportation services in cloud (Cloud-STS) for safety and convenience. STS provide driver centric board services in the cloud networks. STS composed of Vehicle to WiFi networks (VtoWiFi), Vehicle to Cloud Network (VtoCN), Vehicle to Vehicle (VtoV), and Cloud Network to service provider (CNtoSP). The idea is to utilize the (WiFi enabled) Smart Highways and 3Dcamera...
To realize the V2I communication technology based on 3GPP LTE infrastructure, the gateway is required to connected 3GPP network to in-vehicle communication system. The gateway must be suitable for the legacy vehicle E/E systems and functional safety requirements. In this paper, I describe the architecture of CAN-to-3GPP LTE gateway to fit those requirements. CAN is the general purpose communication...
Augmented reality, gesture interfaces, and automotive driver assistance systems enable novel user experiences, safer rides, and new usage models. Bringing these systems to market requires a power-efficient architecture and many billions of operations per second of processing. Widely adopted processing architectures like CPUs and GPUs can't fulfill the requirements, sparking a new class of video and...
The advance in vehicular and wireless communications has contributed to the release of Vehicular Clouds which makes it possible to release various multimedia and storage services. However, providing a communication service which allows to cope with the high mobility of vehicles, and the limited availability of wireless resources, while guaranteeing a high quality of service (QoS), is a challenging...
The current technology trend in automotive navigation systems is “Display Audio” devices. These are display devices that connect directly to and are controlled by the user's smartphone. However, such devices suffer problems of driver distractibility as well as problems related to differences in the life cycle of the Display Audio device and the smartphone. In this study, we discuss the state of current...
This work presents the design of an open-source control architecture specifically tailored to the rapid development and testing of control and coordination algorithms on micro quadrotors. The proposed design extends an existing open-source and open-hardware quadrotor project, i.e., the Crazyflie nano quadrotor, by adding the guidance, navigation and control layers required to accomplish autonomous...
The crescent diversity and heterogeneity of vehicles increases the importance of simulation platforms that can reproduce missions using several kinds of vehicles. A platform is being developed at LIACC for this purpose, using Microsoft Flight Simulator X as the simulation engine. Because this simulator has some constraints involving its active simulation area around the player's central aircraft,...
The International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) aims at pulling forward the state of the art in UAV. The Mission's 7 challenge deals mainly with GPS/Laser denied navigation, Robot-Robot interaction and obstacle avoidance in the setting of a ground robot herding problem. We present in this paper our UAV which took part in the 2014 competition, in the China venue. This year, the mission was not...
The overall mass, size and cost of a propulsion system (which comprises the fuel cell stack and hydrogen tank, dc/dc converters, and energy storage devices) implemented in a fuel cell based vehicle, not only depends on the implemented propulsion system topology and control strategy, but also on the driving profile and the fuel cell operating features. This paper analyzes the impact of both the driving...
In the years between now and 2022, the foundation for automated driving will be developed. Automated driving will not be introduced in the market at once and not with the same electrical and electronics (E/E) architecture; it will be introduced piece by piece and in different forms of E/E architectures. The main reasons for automated driving will always be the same: comfortable, efficient and safe...
The rapid development of Intelligent Transport Systems has created new objectives and requirements for traffic simulation models. The development of visualization, procedural modeling, decision support requirements mean that simulation models need to satisfy different requirements. The chapter presents methods and tools to create distribute, integrated and interactive transport simulations, to enable...
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.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can improve safety, mobility and productivity for cities, but the ITS ecosystem lacks efficient methods to ease content integration and communication between different road transport modes. We believe that an emerging technology able to provide relevant capabilities to integrate content, applications and services for ITS users is Cloud Computing. This technology...
In the era of the Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV), all components in an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) can be connected to improve the traffic safety and transportation efficiency. In order to maximize the utilization of the resources, e.g., computation, communication and storage resources, the cloud computing technique could be integrated into vehicular networks. Meanwhile, a cloud-assisted vehicular...
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...
Vehicles belonging to a Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET) can form an ad hoc vehicular cloud in order to provide and to share services between the vehicles. These services may be divided into two categories: (1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) describing physical resources shared as services such as data storage, sensor data, network and computing services; and (2) Software as a Service (SaaS) describing...
Safe Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) will emerge when comprehensive perception systems will be successfully integrated into vehicles. Advanced perception algorithms based on occupancy grids were developed for AV prototypes. These algorithms estimate the position and speed of every obstacle in the environment by using data fusion from multiple sensors. Computational requirements of such fusion prevent their...
