This paper presents several results regarding the lateral and longitudinal control systems that have been applied for the automation of an articulated bus, using a rolling wheeled box system with special design that moves inside a guide rail. Nowadays, transport systems are achieving major advances by the incorporation of automation based technologies. Recent developments of electronic instrume...

The aim of this study was to evaluate daytime and nighttime sleep, as well as daytime and nighttime sleepiness of professional shift-working bus drivers. Thirty-two licensed bus drivers were assessed by nocturnal and diurnal polysomnography (PSG) recording and multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT) sessions. Sleep length was shorter and sleep efficiency reduced during daytime sleep compared with...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

sleeping through different mechanism causes the removal of fatigue and regaining power to start daily activities. sleep with high quality plays an essential role in body and mental health. the previous studies indicated that problems derived from sleeping can lead to the emergence of many physical and mental disorders, including lack of appetite, physical and mental tiredness, lack of concentra...

The comfort of a bus running on different road conditions is matter public concern. In this paper, the differential equations motion are established for and whole driving process mechanically analyzed. Firstly, bump degree at positions quantitatively analyzed it found that rear row bumpier roads. Then, relationship between speed vertical displacement acceleration described. Regardless speed, si...
