An Empirical Modelling Approach to Self-Adjusting Environmental Vehicle Reversing Alarms
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that 25% of all work-related road deaths are caused by reversing vehicles (Brake the Road Safety Charity). This paper uses an Empirical Modelling (EM) approach to analyse techniques by which vehicle reversing alarms can be “smarter”. Beneficiaries of the techniques include the driver, pedestrians and nearby residents. An original EM model is created in order to illustrate how Empirical Modelling is helpful in this context to educate users as to how a “smarter” vehicle reversing alarm works.

A Novel Multi-Sensor Environmental Perception Method Using Low-Rank Representation and a Particle Filter for Vehicle Reversing Safety
Environmental perception and information processing are two key steps of active safety for vehicle reversing. Single-sensor environmental perception cannot meet the need for vehicle reversing safety due to its low reliability. In this paper, we present a novel multi-sensor environmental perception method using low-rank representation and a particle filter for vehicle reversing safety. The propo...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of stopping maneuver for two by reversing propeller at different speeds
Maneuverability is an important aspect of marine vehicle design. With the development and utilization of ocean resources, maritime transportation is becoming increasingly busy. Stopping ability has great effect on the safety of ship maneuvering for those large ships. Therefore, it is necessary to study the behavior of the ship during the stopping maneuver to ensure the safety of navigation. In ...

متن کاملMobile phone tracking: in support of modelling traffic-related air pollution contribution to individual exposure and its implications for public health impact assessment
We propose a new approach to assess the impact of traffic-related air pollution on public health by mapping personal trajectories using mobile phone tracking technology in an urban environment. Although this approach is not based on any empirical studies, we believe that this method has great potential and deserves serious attention. Mobile phone tracking technology makes it feasible to generat...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
