Vehicles are among the fastest growing type of connected devices. Therefore, there is a need for Vehicle-toEverything (V2X) communication i.e. passing of information from a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and vice versa. In this paper, the main focus is on the communication between vehicles and road side units (RSUs) commonly referred to as V2I communication in a mul...

Based on the review of the development situation of the ETC home and abroad and the ETC key technology, this paper put forward to apply ZigBee network in the freeway ETC system. CC2431 wireless location function is used in the high speed highway ETC system to realize data transmission between network centre node and terminal node safely, which records passing information of the vehicle terminal...

suspension system is one of the most important factors in provision of ride comfort and dynamic stability in any vehicle. meanwhile the suspension systems of tracked vehicles, due to their continuous track, have particular specification in comparison with other vehicles. this specification causes tracked vehicles having an improved dynamic stability in off-road maneuvers compared to vehicles wi...

This study expects that the automatic driving control for passing through intersection has potential for energy saving and solving traffic jams. Therefore, first, this study calculates the predicted effect of the automatic driving control at intersection in simulations. Second, this study proposes the control method for vehicles to pass through an intersection by cooperating with each other on ...

This thesis makes a contribution to the field of autonomous vehicles, especially for use on assistive wheelchairs. Methods and technologies for topological signature maps, obstacle avoidance, door passing, localization, and navigation are presented. One method is called circle sector expansion (CSE), which can be used to generate a skeleton in given two-dimensional data. The method is useful fo...

smooth merging, and passing. The Super Smart Vehicle System studies, conducted from 1990 to 1992 by the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry, proposed cooperative driving using intervehicle communication to make traffic safe and efficient. Studies of intervehicle communication had already started in the early ’80s at JSK (the Association of Electronic Technology for Automobile ...

Vehicles moving on road are of importance because problems like traffic congestion, economic waste, jamming on the underpasses and over-bridges (if the vehicle passing through is not of the permissible size) are associated with them. These problems can be dealt with; by using various morphological processes based image processing techniques to detect the vehicles. In this paper, the images of m...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the effects of two fundamental forms of distraction, including visual-manual and cognitive-audio distraction, with comparison under both operational and tactical driving. Strategic control remains for future study. BACKGROUND Driving is a complex control task involving operational, tactical, and strategic control. Although operational control, such as lead-car foll...

Human-mediated dispersal is known as an important driver of long-distance dispersal for plants but underlying mechanisms have rarely been assessed. Road corridors function as routes of secondary dispersal for many plant species but the extent to which vehicles support this process remains unclear. In this paper we quantify dispersal distances and seed deposition of plant species moved over the ...

iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes a field study that was performed to provide better information about how warning lamps for emergency vehicles affect the vision and driving performance of surrounding drivers, with special emphasis on understanding any ways in which those lamps might have negative effects on safety. The situations of most concern for this study are those in which an e...
