This paper investigates the benefit of dense stereo for the ROI generation stage of a pedestrian detection system. Dense disparity maps allow an accurate estimation of the camera height, pitch angle and vertical road profile, which in turn enables a more precise specification of the areas on the ground where pedestrians are to be expected. An experimental comparison between sparse and dense ste...

This paper revisits the question of the relationship between rural road geometric characteristics, accident rates and their prediction, using a rigorous non-parametric statistical methodology known as hierarchical tree-based regression. The goal of this paper is twofold: first, it develops a methodology that quantitatively assesses the effects of various highway geometric characteristics on acc...

The aim of this note is to show possible consequences of the principle of stationary action formulated for non-conservative systems. As an example, linear models of vibratory system with damping and with one and two degrees of freedom are considered. This kind of models are frequently used to describe road and rail vehicles. There are vibrations induced by road profile. The appropriate action f...

The aim of our study was to compare crank torque profile and perceived exertion between the Monark ergometer (818 E) and two outdoor cycling conditions: level ground and uphill road cycling. Seven male cyclists performed seven tests in seated position at different pedaling cadences: (a) in the laboratory at 60, 80, and 100 rpm; (b) on level terrain at 80 and 100 rpm; and (c) on uphill terrain (...

This paper deals with the design of an H∞-observer to estimate the state variables of the vertical car dynamics to be used for suspension control applications. The proposed methodology allows to cope with both the disturbance decoupling problem (for the road profile effects) and the implementation issue (through observer pole placement). The considered model is a 7 DOF full-car vertical model s...

The International Roughness Index (IRI)'s survey is a longitudinal profile to determine of road. purpose this provide an overview road conditions and input in optimizing the maintenance rehabilitation existing roads city Palangka Raya. data used for analysis IRI’s from surveys on several that represent Raya City with RoadLabPro application car. results showed Beruk Angis had average IRI value 9...

Road traffic accidents are considered one of the important general health concerns, as they result in numerousinjuries and deaths worldwide. India is a developing nation which experiences very high rate such accidents.This study was planned to sociodemographic profile victims fatal RTAs involving different typesof vehicles, so widen database for preventive measures that could reduce morbidityan...

An absorbing game is a repeated game where some of the action combinations are absorbing, in the sense that whenever they are played, there is a positive probability that the game terminates, and the players receive some terminal payoff at every future stage. We prove that every n-player absorbing game admits a correlated equilibrium. In other words, for every > 0 there exists a probability dis...
