− Detection of lane markings based on a camera sensor can be a low cost solution to lane departure and curve over speed warning. A number of methods and implementations have been reported in the literature. However, reliable detection is still an issue due to cast shadows, wearied and occluded markings, variable ambient lighting conditions etc. We focus on increasing the reliability of detectio...

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 ...

Autonomous vehicles require highly reliable navigation capabilities. For example, a lane-following method cannot be applied in an intersection without lanes, and since typical lane detection is performed using a straight-line model, errors can occur when the lateral distance is estimated in curved sections due to a model mismatch. Therefore, this paper proposes a localization method that uses G...

The uncertainty due to road fluctuations and vision system dynamics represents a big challenge adjusting the steering angle of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Furthermore, AVs require fast action follow target lane overcome lateral deviation with minor errors. In this regard, paper introduces model predictive controller formulated based on discrete-time Laguerre function (DTLF) high computational bu...

The aim of this work is to define and evaluate a “yaw rate error” (YRE) derived from naturalistic driving data to quantify driver steering performance during lane keeping. This measure of lane keeping performance is based on the predicted kinematic control error at any instance. Scope is limited to the demonstration that such a quantity exists, that can be computed from naturalistic driving dat...

Image analysis is an image processing technique that aims to extract features or information from images. Image analysis in medicine has a special place because is a basis for disease diagnosis for physicians. Electrophoresis is a laboratory separating technique. Electrophoresis images are created during the electrophoresis process. Serum protein and hemoglobin electrophoresis test are the ...
