This paper presents a minimally intrusive real-time gaze-tracking prototype to be used in several scenarios, including a laboratory stall and an in-vehicle system. The system requires specific infrared illumination to allow it to work with variable light conditions. However, it is minimally intrusive due to the use of a carefully configured switched infrared LED array. Although the perceived le...

constructionof underground dams is a practical solution to save groundwater in alluvium watersheds, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where surface water scarcity is an environmental challenge. considering socio-economic and environmental benefits of underground dams, the accurate locating is the primary consideration for dam construction. the new technologies and methods are a step to...

differential steering of in-wheel electric vehicle provides the functions of both active steering and power assisted steering with the coupling control of force and displacement transfer characteristic of system. a collaborative optimization model of the differential power-assisted steering system of in-wheel electric vehicle is built, with steering economy as the main system optimization goal,...

The influence of traffic loads on the dynamic features a bridge is an external factor that can hinder true condition structure. This paper aims to effectuate shift in way this viewed. If interaction between vehicle and modeled using finite element method, response based mass, stiffness, damping matrices coupled vehicle-bridge system vary with location load at each point time. time-varying force...

Real-time vehicle location information enables to facilitate more efficient decision-making in dynamic automotive shipment yard environment. This paper proposes a multiagent-based decentralized decision-making model for the vehicle deployment planning in a shipment yard. A multiagent architecture is designed to facilitate decentralized algorithms and coordinate different agents dynamically. The...

Vision-based localization techniques and detection technologies are key algorithms for the navigation of unmanned vehicles. Especially in scenarios where GPS signals missing, Simultaneous Localization Mapping (SLAM) that rely on vision, inertial system (INS) other sensors have important applications. Among them, vision combined with IMU SLAM has advantage realistic scale, which is lacking monoc...

The application of a stationary ultra-capacitor energy storage system (ESS) in urban rail transit allows for the recuperation of vehicle braking energy for increasing energy savings as well as for a better vehicle voltage profile. This paper aims to obtain the best energy savings and voltage profile by optimizing the location and size of ultra-capacitors. This paper firstly raises the optimizat...
