In this paper we present an active exploration strategy for a mobile robot navigating in 3D. The aim is to control a moving robot that autonomously builds a visual feature map while at the same time optimises its localisation in this map. The technique chooses the most appropriate commands maximising the information gain between prior states and measurements, while performing 6DOF bearingonly S...

| Analytical results for a frame-and carrier frequency synchronization scheme with repetition preamble 2] are derived. When such a preamble is composed of random Orthogonal Frequency{Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols with cyclic preex, a surprising statistical eeect occurs in non{dispersive channels; the lock{in probability of the frame synchro-nizer is non{uniformly distributed inside the v...

A unified platoon-based mathematical formulation called PAMSCOD is presented to perform arterial (network) traffic signal control while considering multiple travel modes in a vehicle-to-infrastructure communications environment. First, a headway-based platoon recognition algorithm is developed to identify pseudo-platoons given probe vehicles’ online information. It is assumed that passenger veh...

We calculate both analytically and numerically the evolution of a highly rel-ativistic fireball through the stages of free expansion and coasting, and determine the dependence of the thermodynamic and radiation variables in the comoving and laboratory frames. Magnetic fields may have been important in the original impulsive event. We discuss their effect on the fireball dynamics, and consider a...
