Older and cognitively impaired drivers perform worse in driving simulators as cognitive function declines (e.g. Rizzo et al, 2001). How realistic must driving simulations be to discriminate different categories of impaired drivers? Highend, high-fidelity, immersive simulators are expensive and unsuited for general use, whereas standardized neuropsychological (i.e. paper and pencil) tests have h...

Autonomous vehicle safety and reliability are the paramount requirements when developing autonomous vehicles. These requirements are guaranteed by massive functional and performance tests. Conducting these tests on real vehicles is extremely expensive and time consuming, and thus it is imperative to develop a simulation platform to perform these tasks. For simulation, we can utilize the Robot O...

1.1 Equivalent circuit of a pixel in LCDs The equivalent circuit of a pixel operated by active matrix driving is shown in Fig. 1. Data lines are connected to a data driver for generating the signal pulses for the picture data. Scan lines are connected to a scan driver for generating the scan pulses which enable the addressing driving. Vsig and Vg are applied to the data lines and scan lines, re...

Computer traffic simulation is important for making new traffic-control strategies. Microscopic traffic simulators can model traffic flow in a realistic manner and are ideal for agent-based vehicle control. In this paper we describe a model of a reactive agent that is used to control a simulated vehicle. The agent is capable of tactical-level driving and has different driving styles. To ensure ...

because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (da) and arachidonoyl dopamine (aa-da), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. in this work, we explored the putative binding sites of da and aa-da to -lactoglobulin (blg) as potent carrier. docking results identified the binding si...
