Although significant progress has been made in developing autonomous vehicle technology, further research is still needed to reduce the risk of collision by planning a suitable path. Drawing paths through pedestrian avoidance action worth study. In this paper, path considering proposed improve driving safety further. First, movement features reflecting different types intention are summarized a...

This paper introduces the autonomous outdoor robot RAVON (see Figure 1) which is developed at the University of Kaiserslautern. The vehicle is used as a testbed to investigate behaviour-based strategies on motion adaptation, localisation and navigation in rough outdoor terrain. At the current stage the vehicle features collision-free autonomous navigation along way points given in GPS coordinates.

The optimal manoeuvering of a vehicle during a collision avoidance manoeuvre is investigated. A simple model where the vehicle is modelled as point mass and the mathematical formulation of the optimal manoeuvre are presented. The resulting two-point boundary problem is solved by an adaptive finite element method and the theory behind this method is described.

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a special form of Mobile ad-hoc network used for the communication between nearby vehicles and between vehicles and fixed roadside equipment. VANETs are an important component of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that combines computer and communication technologies for traffic management to reduce traffic congestion, improve traffic efficiency, avoid acci...

Communication ‘blackout’ is a big challenge for modern space engineering. In the recent decade, the terahertz (THz) technology is believed to be an effective solution for the ‘blackout’ problem. Many research works about the transmission of THz waves in plasma slabs have been carried out. According to those works, the radio attenuation of THz waves in plasma slabs strongly depends on thickness ...

in this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. it is assumed that the robot performs navigation in unknown environment and builds the map through slam procedure. since the moving objects' location and properties are unknown, they are identified and tracked by kalman filter. kalm...

In this report, we present a methodology for assessing the benefits of different vehicle coordination strategies on the safety of a platoon during emergency braking. One can say that a coordinated braking strategy B is more beneficial than a strategy A, if strategy B leads to a larger reduction in the probability of a collision, the expected number of collisions, and the expected relative veloc...

Today, vehicular Ad-hoc Network between automobiles has been accepted by the public, and many people are interested in exchanging information with other vehicles as well as with roadside equipment while driving. When a number of vehicles want to access to the data stored in RSU ,the priority of servicing comes into face .In this case, some  methods, such as D*S, D*S/N,  have been presented ...

This paper describes the use of ordered probit models to examine the risk of different injury levels sustained under all crash types, two-vehicle crashes, and single-vehicle crashes. The results suggest that pickups and sport utility vehicles are less safe than passenger cars under single-vehicle crash conditions. In two-vehicle crashes, however, these vehicle types are associated with less sev...
