This paper analyzes the interdependency between the dynamics of queues at isolated signalized intersections and the lane-changing behavior of vehicles approaching the intersection. A dynamic queuing model based on Markov Chain renewal process is combined with a lane-changing behavior model in order to simulate the vehicle distribution in time. We applied this simulation to a two-lane intersecti...

Access to relative location of nearby vehicles on the local roads or on the freeways is useful for providing critical alerts to the drivers, thereby enhancing their driving experience as well as reducing the chances of accidents. The problem of determining the relative location of two vehicles can be broken into two smaller subproblems: (i) Relative lane localization, where a vehicle determines...

Lane and Terry (2000) defined mood as “a set of feelings, ephemeral in nature, varying in intensity and duration, and usually involving more than one emotion” (p.16). They proposed a conceptual framework for predicting performance from mood states assessed by the Profile of Mood States (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971) or its derivatives. The conceptual model indicated that depressed mood infl...

This dataset contains 154 images in an urban environment originally obtained from the KITTI dataset (see [1]). The images show well a demarcated (white lines) two lane highway road. The detection algorithm/method is requried to only consider the lane the recording platform was driving on (i.e the right lane). Apart from this other challenges include, shadows, variations in lane-markings and pre...

Figure 1. IFNGR1 RFLP detected by Southern blot analysis of Taql digested human DNA. The two alleles arc identified by 6. lkb (Al) and 3.2+2.9kb (A2) bands in a .8% agarosegel. Lane 1: Al homozygous; lane 2: A2 homozygous; lane 3: heterozygous. Hybridization and washing conditions were 50% formamide, 3x SSC, 37°C and .2x SSC, 60°C, respectively. figure l.VIL 2 RFLP detected by Southern Blot ana...

We extend previously defined particle filters for lane detection by using a more general lane model supporting the use of two independent particle filters for detecting left and right lane borders separately, by combining multiple particles, traditionally used for identifying a winning particle in one image row, into one superparticle, and by using local linear regression for adjusting detected...

The detection of lane boundaries on suburban streets using images obtained from video constitutes a challenging task. This is mainly due to the difficulties associated with estimating the complex geometric structure of lane boundaries, the quality of lane markings as a result of wear, occlusions by traffic, and shadows caused by road-side trees and structures. Most of the existing techniques fo...

This paper studies a technique for combining vision and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data to increase the reliability of lane departure warning systems. In this technique, 2 nd order polynomials are used to model the likelihood area of the location of the lane marking position in the image as well as the lane itself. An IMU is used to predict the drift of these polynomials and the estimated ...

|This paper will report new results we have obtained in applying stereo vision algorithms to the problem of autonomous vehicle navigation on highways. The project consists of two parts: lane extraction and obstacle detection. Our lane extraction system is based on a parameterized model for the appearance of the lanes in the images. This model captures the position, orientation and width of the ...
