Through this work we had created a platform that will support the emergency health care procedures starting from an emergency call until a patient is transferred to a central hospital. The platform consists of a) a system that supports emergency dispatch protocols, b) data recording and workflow management of ambulance department and c) an emergency telemedicine system which can support patient handling...
Conventional controllers like Proportional Derivative (PD), Proportional Integral (PI) and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers were used in implementing Velocity Control Mode (VCM) in Cruise Control (CC) and Adaptive Cruise control (ACC) vehicles. Transition that occur in "resume mode" of CC and transitions that occur during switching from Distance Control Mode (DCM) to VCM...
This paper deals with the application of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to solve the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). The first part presents the basic approach and concept which has been inspired by nature. Next, the basic features and parameters of the algorithm are discussed. Then, a number of experiments are introduced which served to verify the algorithm. We chose Christofides,...
The article is focused on problematic of the middle size wheeled 6×6 UGV development (approx. 1100kg), lessons learned, achieved results and its system integration in the digitized battlefield. Based on previous experiences with UGV systems, there were identified fundamental factors of tactical and technological requirements, which converge to a set of priorities, including some (routine) processes...
Multi-sensor information fusion technology can effectively reduce the risk of car theft and false alarm rate. This paper proposes multi-sensor information fusion technology in the vehicle anti-theft system based on the improved D-S evidence theory. The use of information fusion method with improved D-S evidence theory can process conflict evidence reasonably, so that the anti-theft alarm system is...
Drivers Information Systems (DIS) are rapidly improving transportation systems in Africa and all over the world such as Sri-Lanka. It is currently being implemented in Nigeria, these DIS and its other variants are improving the quality of transportation in countries. These variants include online vehicle registration, electronic payment of fines and electronic toll collection services. Nigeria as...
Path planning for autonomous parking control is difficult and complicated because of its non-holonomic constraints. We proposed the parking path planner KPP (Korea University Path Planner) in our prior work. The purpose of this paper is to prove the advantages of KPP through quantitative and qualitative analyses. Numerical simulations have been carried out for comparison. This paper shows that KPP...
In this paper, we present a method for the vehicle suddenly cut-in from the lateral direction during the preceding vehicle tracking. In the longitudinal direction tracking, if there is no prediction of the interruption located in lateral position vehicles, sudden braking causes when the vehicle cut-in from the longitudinal direction, it is possible to increase anxiety of passengers and reduce the...
This paper discusses the development of a public transit scheduling tool that can be run on a spreadsheet software. The main objective of the paper is to bridge the existing gap between the theoretical knowledge of bus service scheduling and local transport service providers in order for the latter to improve their service. Users of the tool are allowed to input onboard passenger counts, to analyze...
As a part of a driver assistance system, vehicle topview system plays an important role in driving safety. The objective of this research is to develop a vision-based top-view system to expand drivers' field of view. Four cameras provide a 360-degree view of the surrounding terrain of the vehicle, and the destination image is composed by these four processed images. In this paper, we divide the procedure...
To reduce the route length of MSW collection without intermediate facilities, A Waste Collection Vehicle Arc Routing Problem with turn constraints (WCVARPTC) model was proposed, which considers the actual traffic regulations: some streets can be traversed in only one direction, some turns will be forbidden when the common angle is too narrow. An asymmetric vehicle node routing problem (AVNRP) model...
This paper introduce Genetic Algorithms (GA) as an optimization tools of finding the best alternate route of busses along EDSA. The study aims to reduce the number of busses travelling across the main road of EDSA, find the best station nodes to optimize the number of passenger in every travel and when the optimum number of passenger is achieved the higher profit of the bus company will follows. The...
This paper presents a fast vehicle recognition and vehicle retrieval system based on “bag of words”. In this system, the input is an image of vehicle and the vehicle will be identified automatically, it can also retrieve images which are similar to the input image. 3742 vehicle images which include 28 types of vehicles are collected as the image database. Features of these images are extracted and...
To reflect the growing importance of networking beyond disciplinary and organizational boundaries toward an open R&D system with the commercialization aim, in Taiwan Engineering Section of the National Science Council in October 2009, began to support the "Promoting Program for Cross-Field Creative Scenario Value-adding". This promoting program aims to facilitate the formation and cooperation...
This paper investigates to which extent the scope and degree of novelty of innovation by automotive component manufacturers in developing countries is associated with the scope of sources of knowledge used. The literature indicates a positive association between these parameters in the developed country context. However, it is not evident that in the developing country environment the same associations...
According to the actual circumstance of the intersection, reasonably adjusting traffic light time can help to ease traffic pressure and save transportation time. In this paper, Interval type - 2 fuzzy sets and matched-degree are applied to the time of intersection signal adjusting, and five words are used to cover the range of adjusting lights' time, finally according to the average number of stranded...
This discussion paper presents an initial blueprint and viability analysis for implementing a location-based service pilot in Guangzhou, China, using a Finnish company named Nokia as a specific case example. Although many technological, political, and economic issues still remain open, our initial findings were supportive of the viability of implementing the desired pilot.
Method of improving the safety of autonomous vehicles are diverse. In particular, Path Tracking phase which is the last step and important to operate an autonomous vehicle. Method of Path tacking are diverse. Kinematic and dynamic methods is typically methods. In this study, Among Kinematic method, Pure pursuit is used by using the path tracking. Commonly pure pursuit is used to path tracking of mobile...
Use of public transportation is on a rise, enabling greener cities and improvement of the quality of life of the city residents. The challenge for the public transportation system is that its demands are non linear and the passengers' experience depends on many human factors. UnCrowdTPG is a mobile service and a research platform that has been developed for understanding the mobility patterns of the...
Vision-based road signs detection and recognition has been widely used in intelligent robotics and automotive autonomous driving technology. Currently, one-time calibration of inverse perspective mapping (IPM) parameters is employed to eliminate the effect of perspective mapping, but it is not robust to the uphill and downhill road. We propose an automatic inverse perspective mapping method based...
