We present a system for detecting and tracking the lanes of high-speed roads, in order to warn the driver of accidental lane departures. The proposed method introduces a novel variant of the classic Hough transform, better equipped to detect and locate linear road markings with a common vanishing point. This is combined with a simple model of the lane and an Extended Kalman Filter to make detec...

The reliability of road networks depends directly on their vulnerability to disruptive incidents, ranging in severity from minor disruptions to terrorist attacks. This paper presents a game theoretic approach to the analysis of road network vulnerability. The approach posits predefined disruption, attack or failure scenarios and then considers how to use the road network so as to minimize the m...

In the last two decades, a number of methods have been proposed for forecasting based on fuzzy time series. Most of the fuzzy time series methods are presented for forecasting of car road accidents. However , the forecasting accuracy rates of the existing methods are not good enough. In this paper, we compared our proposed new method of fuzzy time series forecasting with existing methods. Our m...

We study a dynamic scenario of the static route planning problem in road networks. Particularly, we put accent on the most practical dynamic case – increased edge weights (up to infinity). We show how to enhance the scope-based route planning approach presented at ESA’11, [16] to intuitively by-pass closures by detours. Three variants of a detour “admissibility” are presented – from a simple on...

The Steiner Travelling Salesman Problem (STSP) is a variant of the TSP that is suitable for instances defined on road networks. We consider an extension of the STSP in which the road traversal costs are both stochastic and correlated. This happens, for example, when vehicles are prone to delays due to rush hours, road works or accidents. Following the work of Markowitz on portfolio selection, w...

In the field of human-machine interaction mechanical impedance has become well implement. However, in humanvehicle interaction there is a variant environment when drivin a vehicle, thus apart from cooperating with human, an impedance is needed to adapt to the variant environment. But as being a second order mass-viscosity-stiffness model with fixed parameters, for mechanical impedance it is dif...
