Nowadays the increasing complexity of cars has become a major challenge due to the growing rate of electronic components and software. This trend has an impact on all phases of the life cycle of the car. Especially during the process of testing cars and components semantic based approaches can help to increase the automation ratio of testing components and to find the needle in the haystack. On...

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) represents a collection of vehicle-based intelligent safety systems. One in particular, Traffic Sign Recognition (TSRS), is designed to detect and interpret roadside information the form signage. Even though TSRS has been on market for more than decade now, available ones differ hardware software solutions they use, as well quantity typology signs recogn...

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are used to redirect effector cell specificity to selected cell surface antigens. Using CARs, antitumor activity can be initiated in patients with no prior tumor specific immunity. Although CARs have shown promising clinical results, the technology remains limited by the availability of specific cognate cell target antigens. To increase the repertoire of target...

In automated valet parking system, a central computer controls a number of robots which have the capability to move in two directions, under cars, lift a car up, carry it to another parking slot, and drop it. We study the theoretical throughput limitations of these systems: Given a car park layout, an initial configuration of a car park (location of cars, robots), into a desired, terminal confi...

Testing with simulation environments helps to identify critical failing scenarios for self-driving cars (SDCs). Simulation-based tests are safer than in-field operational and allow detecting software defects before deployment. However, these very expensive too many be run frequently within limited time constraints. In this article, we investigate test case prioritization techniques increase the...

Weight reduction is becoming increasingly important in products that undergo cyclic loading, such as cars, aeroplanes, wind turbines, etc. The novelty of these dramatic design changes will cause material fatigue to become one of the key design drivers in the development of cars, aeroplanes, wind turbines and require tools to accurately predict the life time of a construction. The life time can ...
