This paper presents an exact probability process analysis for high-speed and realizing fully distributed wireless LANs with non-persistent carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). The collision avoidance portion of CSMA/CA in this model is performed with a random pulse transmission procedure, in which a user with a packet ready to transmit initially sends some pulse sig...

Automatic vessel collision-avoidance systems have been studied in the fields of artificial intelligence and navigation for decades. And to facilitate automatic collision-avoidance decision-making in two-vessel-encounter situation, several expert and fuzzy expert systems have been developed. However, none of them can negotiate with each other as seafarers usually do when they intend to make a ha...

We approach dynamic collision avoidance problem from the perspective of designing collision avoidance systems for unmanned aerial vehicles. Before unmanned aircraft can fly safely in civil airspace, robust airborne collision avoidance systems must be developed. Instead of hand-crafting a collision avoidance algorithm for every combination of sensor and aircraft configurations, we investigate au...

As new aircrafts are inducted into the fleets of commercial airliners the vast airspace is becoming congested on certain routes and commercial hubs. Midair collision risks are increasing with the growth in air traffic volume and therefore; for the sake of safety aircrafts must be technically adept of monitoring the airspace and divert from a predetermined route, when traffic or weather conditio...

When walking in open space, collision avoidance with other pedestrians is a process that successfully takes place many times. To pass another pedestrian (an interferer) walking direction, walking speed or both can be adjusted. Currently, the literature is not yet conclusive of how humans adjust these two parameters in the presence of an interferer. This impedes the development of models predict...

A Vehicular Ad Hoc network (VANET) is an emerging technology among the scholars and vehicular industries in recent years. The wireless collision Avoidance (CA) system sends early message to drivers before they reach accident zone on the road. This paper proposed an analytical model for warning messages through collision avoidance (CA) system. Use the Dichotomized head way model, the Braking mod...

Collision avoidance is a safety mechanism essentially to be embedded in the control structure of a team of autonomous vehicles. This is particularly important when the team is involved in cooperative tasks in which the team members should move with a relatively close distance. This paper develops a decentralized control structure for the collision avoidance of autonomous unmanned helicopters. H...

The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into civil airspace requires new methods of ensuring collision avoidance. Concerns over command and control latency, vehicle performance, reliability of autonomous functions, and interoperability of sense-and-avoid systems with the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Air Traffic Control must be resolved. This paper describes...

In this paper, we present the design of the super-ellipsoidal potential function (SEPF), that can be used for autonomous collision avoidance of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a 3-dimensional space. In the design of SEPF, we have the full control over the shape and size of the potential function. In particular, we can adjust the length, width, height, and the amount of flattening at the tip...

The increasing number of vehicles in modern cities brings the problem of increasing crashes. One of the applications or services of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) conceived to improve safety and reduce congestion is collision avoidance. This safety critical application requires sub-meter level vehicle state estimation accuracy with very high integrity, continuity and availability, to ...
