This paper presents a lateral control Advanced Driver Assistance System for cars, which uses both steering and differential braking commands to aid drivers enhance vehicle safety. The proposed strategy LPV PI Observer the estimation of driver performance over range speeds. is then used as scheduling signals activate / deactivate ADAS actuators. tested in simulation with randomly generated profi...

The Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) is widely used around the world to investigate driving behaviours. However, it has several different versions extracted from the 50-items Manchester driver behaviour questionnaire for variety of societies. This study aims to calibrate the DBQ for the Iranian driver population and explore their aberrant driver behaviour. In total, 524 participants (325 me...

The electroacoustic efficiency of high-power actuators used in thermoacoustic coolers may be estimated using a linear model involving a combination of six parameters. A method to identify these equivalent driver parameters from measured total electrical impedance and velocity-voltage transfer function data was developed. A commercially available, moving-magnet driver coupled to a functional the...

Driver behaviour is considered a key factor in the majority of car accidents. As a consequence driver behaviour has been receiving vast attention in different domain areas, such as psychology, transport engineering and computer science. Computer scientists are primarily interested in what and how computing means can be applied to understand the relation between driver behaviour and transport sy...

Minimising driver distraction is a crucial factor in the design of new driver assistance systems and in-vehicle information systems. Therefore two different driver-vehicle interface concepts for an Active Cruise Control (ACC) system were designed and tested with 12 drivers in a static driving simulator. These concepts differed in the location (steering wheel vs. dashboard) and type of controls....

[Purpose] Our aim was to evaluate the relationships between waist and mid-thigh circumference, used as proxy measures of trunk and lower limb strengths, respectively, and selected parameters of driver and putting performance in Korean college golfers. [Subjects and Methods] The participants were 103 college golfers (81 male, 20 to 27 years old). Measurements of body composition, waist and mid-t...

This paper reports on improvements to Xen’s networking performance resulting from the re-design and the re-implementation of certain aspects of its network virtualization and better support for advanced, hardware memory management features. Our design remains compatible with the basic Xen 2.0 architecture of locating device drivers in a privileged driver domain that has direct access to the dev...

Legacy device drivers implement both device resource management and isolation. This results in a large code base with a wide high-level interface making the driver vulnerable to security attacks. This is particularly problematic for increasingly popular accelerators like GPUs that have large, complex drivers. We solve this problem with library drivers, a new driver architecture. A library drive...
