This paper investigates the impact of tyre dynamics on autonomous vehicle dynamic control. The commonly used 2 degrees freedom bicycle model and a detailed considering are built, respectively, to describe dynamics. two models firstly compared with response front wheel steering input differential motor torque input. transient body vibrations clearly demonstrated by but overlooked model. influenc...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether concurrent bandwidth feedback improves learning of the lane-keeping task in a driving simulator. BACKGROUND Previous research suggests that bandwidth feedback improves learning and that off-target feedback is superior to on-target feedback. This study aimed to extend these findings for the lane-keeping task. METHOD Participants with...

The retina can function under a variety of adaptation conditions and stimulus paradigms. To adapt to these various conditions, modifications in the phototransduction cascade and at the synaptic and network levels occur. In this paper, we focus on the properties and function of a gain control mechanism in the cone synapse. We show that horizontal cells, in addition to inhibiting cones via a "lat...

Background: Several factors influence the growth in the number of road traffic accidents and the resulting death rate. Road accident scenarios can be considered in different seasons and time intervals. In the present study, the role of factors effective in the growth of the number of accidents was explored in the south of Kerman during the period from 2013 to 2017. Materials and Methods: In th...

The merging process in an Automated Highway System (AHS) is divided into a speed adjustment stage and a lane merging stage. Three important parameters, namely, acceptability, availability and pursuability, are analyzed to characterize the AHS lane gap features for the ideal, smooth and safe merging of the ramp vehicles. Three control guidance laws, namely, linear, optimal and parabolic speed pr...
