This paper describes a novel method for recognizing the classes of street-parking vehicles. We have already developed the following two systems: one is vehicle recognition system based on local-feature configuration, and the other is detecting street-paring vehicles from side-view range images. In this paper, we combine these two systems to develop a new system with which we can not only count ...

A new computational model for the analysis of the suspension system of an innovative concept in vertical-axis wind turbines is introduced. We used this model to study a new concept in extra-large wind-power plants: the VGOT (variable-geometry oval-trajectory) Darrieus wind turbine. In a traditional Darrieus turbine, the blades rotate around a central vertical axis. In the VGOT concept each blad...

Measuring the structure gauge of tunnels and other narrow passages has so far been the only way to evaluate whether large vehicles can pass through them. But especially for very long vehicles like train wagons and their cargo, the structure gauge is an insufficient measure because the center part of the vehicle between two bogies will inevitably leave the swept volume of its cross section when ...
