This paper presents the architecture of a software system able to assess the cognitive effort of a driver by monitoring the interaction between the driver and the steering wheel; this system is called WL Manager (WLM). The advantage of a Workload Manager System based on the steering dynamic is that of being not invasive in comparison to other workload measures, in particular physiological (hear...

This paper presents an adaptive steering controller for achieving consistent, sensitive, and accurate steering control with noisy and drifting control signals on an automated agricultural tractor. Conventional model-based PID controller is difficult to solve this problem because of too many disturbances and unknown factors. The authors have developed an adaptive steering controller consisting o...

The discovery of postquantum nonlocality, i.e., the existence of nonlocal correlations that are stronger than any quantum correlations but nevertheless consistent with the no-signaling principle, has deepened our understanding of the foundations of quantum theory. In this work, we investigate whether the phenomenon of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering, a different form of quantum nonlocality, ca...

in two steps: First, we determine basic activities of each upper body part (e.g. Two, one, or no hand is on the steering wheel; Head is looking left, straight, or right). Then these basic activities are combined in a fusion step to extract higher level of semantic description of driver activities (e.g. whether the driver is following the above safety tip or not). Our experimental evaluation wit...

In this paper, the chromaticity of K3-gluings of two wheels is studied. For each even integer n ≥ 6 and each odd integer 3 ≤ q ≤ [n/2] all K3-gluings of wheels Wq+2 and Wn−q+2 create an χ-equivalent class.

For the electric steering gear control systems, the principle of the system is introduced. Specific model and parameters are selected to deduce the optimal combination of control system and choices method of the steering system model is determined. The transfer function of motor according to the parameters is achieved and simulation results are gained based on MATLAB. Simulation results show th...
