However, the online application of LPV-ARX system in the LS-SVM setting requires high computational time, related to the number of training data used to compute the coefficients of the identified model, limiting the possibility to use the method to real-time applications. In this paper, the authors propose the Low-Rank (LR) matrix approximation and a pruning based approach to compute a sparse solution. In particular, the pruning algorithm is considered to compute off-line a sparse solution of Lagrangian multipliers and then speed up the testing stage, whereas the LR matrix approximation allows to speed up the training stage. The proposed approach has been tested by identifying a subsystem of a vehicle powertrain model by the input/output data collected from the simulation model. The proposed approach has been compared with respect to the standard approach based on LS-SVM. The methods are tested on the considered real-world problem and the proposed approach permits to reduce the execution time of about 77% on average in the considered identification problem, corresponding to a degradation of the identification result less than 0.2% with respect to the standard solution.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133280509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the high-power requirement and the wide output battery voltage range (i.e. 250-1000 V), a modular design approach is adopted, leveraging the split input DC-link structure provided by a 3-level active front-end. A total of four modules, with at 15 kW nominal power and a 250-500 V output voltage regulation capability, are designed with a straightforward iterative procedure based on the first-harmonic approximation (FHA).

With this aim, we propose an innovative method which consists of ad-hoc designed bio-sensing system to assess the car driver’s physiological state. The designed bio-sensing system includes a probe which detects a physiological signal of the subject i.e. the PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG). The physio-probe device has been embedded on several points of the car’s steering wheel in order to sample the PPG signal from the driver’s hand. Furthermore, ad-hoc motion magnification algorithm was developed to reconstruct PPG from visual car driver face motions when physical PPG signal is unavailable. An innovative deep learning system completes the proposed pipeline in order to classify the driver drowsiness from the so collected PPG signal. The drowsiness detection performance (average accuracy of around 90%) confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132299190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As most of these works come from the research community of logistics and transportation, they are instead focused on the optimality of the algorithms, and neglect two critical issues: (1) they consider only a planar version of the problem ignoring the geographic information along the delivery route, and (2) they use a simplified battery model, truck, and drone power consumption model as they are mostly focused on optimizing delivery time alone rather than energy efficiency.In this work, we propose a greedy heuristic algorithm to deter-mine the most energy-efficient sequence of deliveries in which a drone and an EV truck collaborate in the delivery process, while accounting for the two above aspects. In our scenario, a drone delivers packages starting from the truck and returns to the truck after the delivery, while the truck continues on its route and possibly delivers other packages. Results show that, by carefully using the drone’s energy along the truck delivery route, we can achieve 43-69% saving of the truck battery energy on average over a set of different delivery sets and different drone battery sizes. We also compared two \"common-sense\" heuristics, concerning which we saved up to 42%.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115411681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
