TG572 RFLP Probe: Five primers were designed around the RFLP probe on chromosome 7: P572F1, P572F2, P572F3, P572R1, and P572R2 (Table 1). All possible primer combinations produced a strong band with Heinz 1706 DNA between 600 bp and 1000 bp (Fig. 2). All of the primer combinations produced single bands with the exception of P572F2/P572R1, which produced two bands one at 400 bp and one at 900 bp...

This paper introduces a new algorithm called Lane-finding in ANother domAin (LANA) for detecting lane markers in images acquired from a forward-looking vehicle-mounted camera. The method is based on a novel set of frequency domain features that capture relevant information concerning the strength and orientation of spatial edges. The frequency domain features are combined with a deformable temp...

Lane changing manoeuvres of heavy vehicles have significant influence on surrounding traffic characteristics due to the physical effects that the heavy vehicles impose on surrounding vehicles. These effects are the result of heavy vehicles’ length, size, weight and the limitations in their manoeuvrability. Due to the importance of heavy vehicle lane changing manoeuvres, this paper presents an e...

Modeling driving behavior and emulating driver control strategy is one of essential parts for risk assessment and auxiliary control in the driver assistance system and vehicle active safety system. In this paper, we propose a proposed model is intuitive and can clearly describe the habit and randomness of the lane-change behavior with limit parameters. Especially, by using the proposed model an...

Drivers continuously evaluate the surrounding traffic and the roadway environment, and make decisions about lanes and travel speed. The objective of this thesis is to develop a lane changing model that can be used in microscopic traffic simulation models to capture drivers' lane changing behavior. Lane change is modeled as a sequence of four steps: decision to consider a lane change, choice of ...
