This study aims at 'predicting' the occurrence of lane-change related freeway crashes using the traffic surveillance data collected from a pair of dual loop detectors. The approach adopted here involves developing classification models using the historical crash data and corresponding information on real-time traffic parameters obtained from loop detectors. The historical crash and loop detecto...

In order to realize the lane-changing maneuver of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV), a lateral controller based on model predictive control is developed with three degrees freedom vehicle dynamic model. Then synthesized track reference trajectory fitted by quintic Bézier curve. The validated MATLAB/CarSim under different road adhesion conditions and driving speeds. Results show that for speed...

Robustly extracting the features of lane markings under different lighting and weather conditions such as shadows, glows, sunset and night is the a key technology of the lane departure warning system (LDWS). In this paper, we propose a robust lane marking feature extraction method. By useing the characteristics of the lane marking to detect candidate areas. The final lane marking features are e...

Autonomous driver assistance system is a core component for the robust detection and tracking of lane markings on roads and pedestrian detection. The lane detection method is a major component of intelligent transport system. Lane detection helps to estimate the road geometry ahead as well as lateral position of vehicle. A fast lane detection algorithm is proposed by Hough transform which is fa...

In this project, we designed an advanced driver assistant system with three functions: traffic sign recognition, lane deviation detection, and car make identification. The traffic sign recognition implements Viola and Jones detector to accurately detect the traffic sign ahead. Hough transforms and edge detection are used in the lane deviation detection. For vehicle make identification, two mode...

M any theories regarding the rotational center of the mandible have been propounded. Spee,’ Hall,’ Monson,’ Needle? and others, formulated theories based on anatomic observations. Gysi” reported a theory based on two-dimensional geometric principles, while McCollum and Stuart” developed a theory based OJ~ their experimentations. Although the rotational center concept of the mandible was discuss...

Background: Posturography is a method in which the postural stability of adults is evaluated by measuring the center of pressure sway. This study aims to evaluate the reproducibility of measuring the center of pressure oscillation in standing position with internal perturbation in healthy young women with and without hyperkyphosis. Methods: Ten women with dorsal hyperkyphosis with the mean age...
