Near-minimum-time control of flexible manipulators can be accomplished by designing a controller that tracks a reference maneuver. The control method presented here uses a near-minimum-time rigid-link reference maneuver to generate reference control torques and a Liapunov controller to make the flexible manipulator track the reference maneuver while reducing and eventually eliminating flexible ...

Junqueira LF Jr. Teaching cardiac autonomic function dynamics employing the Valsalva (Valsalva-Weber) maneuver. Adv Physiol Educ 32: 100–106, 2008; doi:10.1152/advan.00057.2007.—In this report, a brief history of the Valsalva (Valsalva-Weber) maneuver is outlined, followed by an explanation on the use of this approach for the evaluation of cardiac autonomic function based on underlying heart ra...

In Japan, the guidelines of safety technology for automated vehicles clearly state requirement level-3 equipment with minimal risk maneuver (MRM) in vehicles. case drivers fail to respond a request intervention, conditional driving automation system activates an MRM control vehicle halt lane or on side road. The current study aims explore research question: how does information functionality eq...

Binary logistic regression has been used to estimate the probability of lane change (LC) in Cell Transmission Model (CTM). These models remain rigid, as flexibility predict LC for different cell size configurations not accounted for. This paper introduces a relaxation method refine conventional binary model using an event-tree approach. The increasing and length was estimated by expanding pre-d...

This paper presents a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) based approach to handle different steering scenarios for autonomous vehicles. The proposed methodology consists of the design fast and performant LPV/LFT controller which can track generated yaw rate reference, speed operating range, lane tracking smooth/fast changes. handling dynamic maneuver is achieved by Command Governor (CG), feeds upda...

There are many car tests regulated by European and international standards carried out on tracks to assess vehicle performance. The test preparation phase usually consists of placing road cones the track with a specific configuration defined considered standard; this is performed human operators using imprecise slow methods, mainly due large required distances. In paper, new geolocation stake-o...

conclusions continuous portal triade clamping (the pringle maneuver) during liver ischemia (30 and 45 minutes) in rabbits resulted in no ischemic change. increasing time of clamping to 30 minutes was safe in intermittent pringle maneuver. materials and methods in an experimental study, 20 new-zealand white rabbits were selected. in laparotomy, a blunt dissector was passed through the foramen of...

The dynamic behavior of a car can be modeled as a hybrid system involving continuous state changes and discrete state transitions. However, we show that the control of safe (collision free) lane change maneuvers in multi-lane traffic on highways can be described by finite state machines extended with continuous variables coming from the environment. We use standard theory for controller synthes...

Researches using existing statistics and data collected from the area of study help officials at decision-making, to improve the region's problems, like the problem of the high rate of accidents in the region, despite the low volume of daily service. The uses of roundabouts in many parts of the world have many advantages over intersections, amongst them are increased safety and capacity and red...
