Automated road information extraction has significant applicability in transportation. It provides a means for creating, maintaining, and updating transportation network databases that are needed for purposes ranging from traffic management to automated vehicle navigation and guidance. This paper is to review literature on the subject of road extraction and to describe a study of an optimizatio...

The paper describes six methods of optimal and game theory and artificial neural network for synthesis of safe control in collision situations at sea. The application of optimal and game control algorithms to determine the own ship safe trajectory during the passing of other encountered ships in good and restricted visibility at sea is presented. The comparison of the safe ship cont...

Abstract. The retreat of sea ice has been found to be very significant in the Arctic under global warming. It is projected continue and will have great impacts on navigation. Perspectives changes navigability are crucial circulation pattern future Arctic. In this investigation, decadal parameters were evaluated by multi-model from Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 6, was assessed two...

today, transportation of hazardous materials (i.e., hazmat) is a very important issue for researchersdue to the risk of this transit, which should be considered for development of industries and transportation.therefore, a model that is useful should consider the risk and damage to humanitarianand environmental issues due to transit of hazmat materials. by considering the related cost, thereali...

the lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. it is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (manfis) are proposed for this behavior. these models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a driver...

The NavChair assistive navigation system was originally conceived as an application of mobile robot obstacle avoidance to a power wheelchair. In this system, the user shares wheelchair control with obstacle avoidance and other navigation components. The philosophy of shared control has important implications for the design of these components. This paper discusses the development of navigation ...
