Abstract: Increasing demand toward driving comfort steers automobile engineers to spend more and more effort on refining the automobile air conditioning system. The system is of high order and operated at the presence of several disturbances. The control algorithm should be able to control the evaporator out temperature with the acceptable control action. In this work, the sliding mode control ...

We provide novel insights into the effects of private information in automobile insurance. Our analysis is based on telematic data of insured cars which includes detailed information about driving behavior that is unobservable to the insurance company. We find that private information about driving behavior has significant and counteracting effects on the choice of third-party liability and fir...

In this paper, we study learning generalized driving style representations from automobile GPS trip data. We propose a novel Autoencoder Regularized deep neural Network (ARNet) and a trip encoding framework trip2vec to learn drivers’ driving styles directly from GPS records, by combining supervised and unsupervised feature learning in a unified architecture. Experiments on a challenging driver ...

Along with recent advancement, many automobile industries have strongly encouraged research on their product design, structure, consumer comfort and ergonomics and so on. In particular, consumer satisfaction or human comfort is playing an important role including seat comfort, driving posture, visibility, interior space, etc., In general, sitting in an automobile seat for prolonged period can c...

Article abstract—Studies of automobile accident frequency among drivers with AD have yielded conflicting results about the risk of accidents. To develop a practice parameter regarding driving and AD the authors performed a systematic review of the literature. The authors identified well-designed, controlled studies of driving and AD using the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. The...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of variables such as personality traits, driving behavior and mental illness on road traffic accidents among the drivers with accidents and those without road crash. methods: in this cohort study, 800 bus and truck drivers were recruited. participants were selected among drivers who referred to imam sajjad hospital (tehran, iran) duri...

This study describes a “New Automobile Product Development Design Model” (NA-PDDM) using “Dual Corporate Engineering Strategy” for the innovation of automobile product engineering fundamental. Specifically, NA-PDDM contains both “Exterior design strategy” and “Driving performance by “Customer Science Principle” (CSP). Concretely, foundation consists “Automobile Exterior Model with 3 Core Method...

Maneuvering vehicles is often a challenging task, because drivers are not able to see the whole surrounding area. In particular parts in the direct vicinity are not seen due to the driver’s position and the shape of the vehicle. Especially drivers of large vehicles, like truck-trailer combinations and buses, suffer from the limited field of view that also poses a risk to pedestrians and bicycli...

With new technologies that enable insurers to electronically monitor vehicles and drivers, insurers should be able to price automobile insurance more accurately, creating individualized prices for consumers. The welfare effects of lower prices are straightforward, but we also consider that consumers have heterogeneous valuations of privacy that they may lose if they adopt the monitoring technol...
