This chapter presents a successful implementation of PID controller for a pneumatically actuated active roll control suspension system in both simulation and experimental studies. For the simulation model, a full vehicle model which consists of ride, handling and tire subsystems to study vehicle dynamics behavior in lateral direction is derived. The full vehicle model is then validated experime...

Triadimefon (TDF) is a fungicide with effects similar to cocaine, suggesting potential for abuse. Mice were trained in an apparatus with two distinctive flooring cues. In the experimental group, one of these was paired with administration of TDF and the other with vehicle; in the control group, both flooring types were paired with vehicle. The experimental group showed a significant preference ...

post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a chronic and progressive disorder that occurs after some traumas and accident. injuries and harm to health caused by motor vehicle accidents (mvas) have become an issue of global concern, as mvas are expected to be the third largest contributor to the worldwide burden of disease by the year 2020. chronic ptsd is a common consequence of mva and that it m...

CONTEXT Crash fatality and injury rates are higher on rural roadways than other roadway types. Although slow-moving farm vehicles and equipment are risk factors on rural roads, little is known about the characteristics of crashes with farm vehicles/equipment. PURPOSE To describe crashes and injuries for the drivers of farm vehicles/equipment and non-farm vehicles involved in an injury crash. ...

Platooning vehicles are beneficial in comfortable driving, safety, and enhanced transportation efficiency. with cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) mode can potentially result a small distance between assured string stability. This CACC-based platoon be realized by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication vehicles. In this regard, the distributed framework is...

human driver or control the vehicle autonomously, they usually must make these decisions in real time with only incomplete information. So, human drivers still must maintain control over the vehicle. Advanced in-vehicle information systems (IVISs) endow vehicles with different types and levels of intelligence to complement the driver.2 Their introduction has allowed an almost symbiotic relation...

In order to further improve the whole vehicle economy of a novel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), considering two main factors, which are the driving working conditions and the driving distance, influencing the whole vehicle economy, a control strategy based on fuzzy self-adaptive online recognition is provided. A fuzzy working condition recognition algorithm is designed to online recogn...

The Ambient calculus is a successful model of distributed, mobile computation, and has been the vehicle of new ideas for resource access control. Mobility types have been used to enforce elementary access control policies, expressed indirectly via classification of ambients in groups by means of ‘group types.’ The paper presents a theory of dependent types for the Ambient calculus which allows ...

CIAIR, Nagoya University, has been compiling an in-car speech database since 1999. This paper discusses the basic information contained in this database and an analysis on the effects of driving status based on the database. We have developed a system called the Data Collection Vehicle (DCV), which supports synchronous recording of multichannel audio data from 12 microphones which can be placed...

In Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANETs), security is a primary concern, as it affects traffic safety. Authentication in essence is an important security requirement to avoid attacks on vehicular communication. To provide authentication with some privacy to the users, we propose an authentication framework that uses pseudonyms, which are self-generated are used as key value in communication among v...
