In this work, the design and analysis of new Level Shifter with Gate Driver for Li-Ion battery charger is proposed for high speed and low area in 180nm CMOS technology. The new proposed level shifter is used to raise the voltage level and significantly reduces transfer delay 1.3ns (transfer delay of conventional level shifter) to 0.15ns with the same input signal. Also, the level shifter with g...

Subthreshold VLSI circuits design received ample interest due to rapid growth of portable devices. The portable domain places in flexible limitation on the power dissipation. Though, device operating in subthreshold region shows huge potential towards satisfying the ultra low power requirement, it holds lots of difficult design issues. As integration density of interconnects increases at every ...

Linux driver verification is a large application area for software verification methods, in particular, for functional, safety, and security verification. Linux driver software is industrial production code — IT infrastructures rely on its stability, and thus, there are strong requirements for correctness and reliability. This implies that if a verification engineer has identified a bug in a dr...

Driver distraction contributes to approximately 43% of motor-vehicle crashes and 27% of near-crashes. Rapidly developing in-vehicle technology and electronic devices place additional demands on drivers, which might lead to distraction and diminished capacity to perform driving tasks. This situation threatens safe driving. Technology that can detect and mitigate distraction by alerting drivers c...

Many scientific applications are limited by the performance offered by parallel file systems. SSD based burst buffers provide significant better performance than HDD backed storage but at the expense of capacity. Clearly, achieving wire-speed of the interconnect and predictable low latency I/O is the holy grail of storage. Throughput and latency of in-memory storage promises to provide optimal ...

BACKGROUND Driver error and inadequate skill are common critical reasons for novice teen driver crashes, yet few validated, standardised assessments of teen driving skills exist. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the construct and criterion validity of a newly developed Simulated Driving Assessment (SDA) for novice teen drivers. METHODS The SDA's 35 min simulated drive incorporates 22 ...

A behavior-consistent information-based network control approach determines real-time traffic routing strategies by explicitly accounting for drivers’ likely response to the controller-recommended routes while generating these strategies. This paper proposes paradigms to deploy a behavior-consistent approach developed by the authors (Paz and Peeta 2007). These paradigms seek to enhance deployme...

This paper focuses on the relevance of alternate discrete outcome frameworks for modeling driver injury severity. The study empirically compares the ordered response and unordered response models in the context of driver injury severity in traffic crashes. The alternative modeling approaches considered for the comparison exercise include: for the ordered response framework-ordered logit (OL), g...

We present research in progress to develop an “Aware” vehicle concept to improve operator performance, mobility and safety. The Aware Vehicle project, in part, seeks to develop systems that communicate with the infrastructure, monitor the operating environment and detect operator state. A further component of this system is informational feedback to the driver that will inform the driver of the...

In order to introduce a realistic simulation environment to support the research on vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), the human behavior must be studied, understood and included in the mobility model representing the vehicles movement. This paper studies the behavior of the driver concerning specifically the decision to change the lane. Our study is based on real world observations and safety...
