Prof. Hugo de Garis has recently received a 3 million RMB, 4 year grant to build China’s first artificial brain, starting in 2008, that will consist of approximately 15,000 interconnected neural net modules, evolved one at a time in a special accelerator board [1] (which is 50 times faster than using an ordinary PC) to control the hundreds of behaviors of an autonomous robot. The approach taken...

Car-following behavior has been extensively studied using physics-based models, such as Intelligent Driving Model (IDM). These models successfully interpret traffic phenomena observed in the real world but may not fully capture complex cognitive process of driving. Deep learning on other hand, have demonstrated their power capturing require a large amount driving data to train. This paper aims ...

This paper explores applying qualitative reasoning to a driver’s mental state in real driving situations so as to develop a working load for intelligent transportation systems. The authors identify the cognitive state that determines whether a driver will be ready to operate a device in car navigation. In order to identify the driver’s cognitive state, the authors will measure eye movements dur...

in this paper, the effects of roll center height of mcpherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle is studied first and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual class a vehicle. adams/car software was used for analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center, then optimization proces...

one of the most common methods for controlling and increasing maneuverability of projectiles, especially the ones which move at high altitude and in low density air, is using lateral or reaction jets. the resultant force of the reaction jet is related to the jet and flow parameters. for finding their relation experimental, numerical, and analytical methods have been used. in order to change the...

BACKGROUND The mechanism and pattern of vascular injury vary between different populations. The commonest mechanism of vascular injury in civilian practice is road traffic collisions. We aimed to prospectively study the incidence, detailed mechanism and anatomical distribution of hospitalized vascular trauma patients following road traffic collisions in a high-income developing country. METHO...

This paper investigates trajectory generation for curvature continuous paths. A car-like wheeled robot platform is considered. Planning is performed using a single B-spline curve that maintains continuity through the path. Constraints such as bounded curvature, velocity, and acceleration limits are considered. We minimize the traversal time while maintaining continuity and obeying the robot’s c...

Abstract A physical model and a mathematical approach were developed to describe ponderomotive acceleration body pushed by plasma column of high-current arc in railgun. In contrast the previously published studies, generation was considered taking into account kinetics heavy particle fluxes non-equilibrium layer near vaporizating (ablating) rails phenomena heat mass transfer electric sheath at ...
