This paper studies a technique for combining vision and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data to increase the reliability of lane departure warning systems. In this technique, 2 nd order polynomials are used to model the likelihood area of the location of the lane marking position in the image as well as the lane itself. An IMU is used to predict the drift of these polynomials and the estimated ...

Prevention of road crashes is a major priority in most countries. The present thesis focuses on driver sleepiness and road crashes. The general aim of the thesis was to explore the relation between driver sleepiness and driver impairment and the changes that precede a crash or a similar safety-critical event, but also what constitutes good reliable behavioural / physiological measures of sleepi...

Abstract To resolve undifferenced GNSS phase ambiguities, dedicated satellite products are needed, such as orbits, clock offsets and biases. The International Service CNES/CLS analysis center provides (HMW) Hatch-Melbourne-Wübbena bias (including bias), while the CODE OSB (observable-specific-bias) integer products. GPS HMW determined by linear combination aggregate both code (C1W, C2W) (L1W, L...

OBJECTIVE This paper introduces a robust, real-time system for detecting driver lane changes. BACKGROUND As intelligent transportation systems evolve to assist drivers in their intended behaviors, the systems have demonstrated a need for methods of inferring driver intentions and detecting intended maneuvers. METHOD Using a "model tracing" methodology, our system simulates a set of possible...

The paper presents a new system for the automat control of the aircrafts’ flight in lateral plane using the cinematic model and the dynamic inversion. Starting from the equations of the aircrafts’ lateral movement, the authors use two axes systems and obtained a control law that cancels the lateral deviation of the flying objects from the runway line. This system makes the aircrafts’ direction ...

An automated steering controller is proposed to track the target path in this paper. Model predictive control is employed to design the controller based on a 5-state road following bicycle model including the steering actuator dynamics. The adaptive preview time is reduced for an increased path geometry change index due to driving from a straight road into a sharp curve. The preview time is inc...

In a parameter study, we systematically varied values, and quantified the resulting traffic flow in each individual lane. We modeled two-, three-, four-lane freeway sections with microscopic simulation tool PTV Vissim. compared results findings from literature. Simulations using car following model Wiedemann 99 fit better to empirical studies than those 74. Empirically determinable parameters, ...
