This paper introduces a real-time workflow for implementing neural networks in the context of autonomous driving. The UNet architecture is specifically selected road segmentation due to its strong performance and low complexity. To further improve model's capabilities, Local Binary Convolution (LBC) incorporated into skip connections, enhancing feature extraction, elevating Intersection over Un...

Automatic response to lane-blocking incidents is a critical issue in the field of automated highway systems (AHS). Accordingly, this paper presents a microscopic vehicular control methodology for automatic-control (AC) vehicular movements in response to lane-blocking incidents in the AHS environment. The embedded traffic control logic is based on the basic safety requirements for automatic-cont...

The objectives of this manuscript are (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of on-street bicycle lane in reducing crashes involving bicyclists on urban roads, (2) to quantify and compare risk to bicyclists on road segments with and without on-street bicycle lane, (3) to evaluate the effect of on-street bicycle lane on other road network users (all crashes), and, (4) to assess the role of on-network...

Objective: We investigated the impacts of drivers’ socio-demographic factors on these lane-changing models, and developed Fuzzy logic-based lane-changing models associated the drivers’ demographic factors. Methods: Forty drivers were recruited for a driving simulator test to collect their driving behaviors of changing lane in a work zone with/without the aid of Driver’s Smart Advisory System (D...

1 Introduction The Michigan Offroad Sensor Fusing Experimental Testbed (MOSlfEZ] is an autonomous vehicle designed to navigate an "own terrain which includes obstacles. lanes. and other traditional roadside obstructions. In order to gather data about the world around it, MOSFET is equipped with several heterogeneous sensors. These sensors include one forward-looking camera used for obstacle det...

In this paper we explore the time course of a lane change in terms of the driver’s control and eyemovement behavior. We conducted an experiment in which drivers navigated a simulated multi-lane highway environment in a fixed-base, medium-fidelity driving simulator. We then segmented the driver data into standardized units of time to facilitate an analysis of behavior before, during, and after a...

The objective of this research is to develop an advanced driver assistance system characterized with the functions of lane departure warning (LDW), forward collision warning (FCW) and adaptive front-lighting system (AFS). The system is mainly configured a CCD/CMOS camera to acquire the images of roadway ahead in association with the analysis made by an image-processing unit concerning the lane ...

example, in DVLT experiments which use 16 iterations to transition between lanes, the first MLP would be 1/16 of the total distance (along the line connecting the LCP's) away from the driving lane LCP and 15/16 from the destination LCP. The second MLP would be 1/8 and 7/8, respectively. Because the vehicle is instructed to move toward the MLP, the virtual views become misaligned with their resp...
