Therefore, in this paper, the electrification of the public transport system of the city of Savona is proposed. In particular, the study focuses only on the urban lines and it aims to compute the average energy consumption of an electric bus operating on a section of one existing line, in order to investigate the optimal location, size and number of opportunity fast chargers to install. The analysis presented shows that the correct service operation of the electric buses traveling on the examined line can be achieved by installing, in selected significant points, an overall number of 5 opportunity chargers each one characterized by a 400 kW rated power.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"1 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":"130374911","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}

ADAS leverages the capability of taking active control of vehicle to prevent potentially dangerous situations. Specifically, researchers have investigated the analysis of the car driver attention level. Recent reports confirmed that there is an increasing incidence of driving crashes occurred for drowsiness or inattentiveness of the driver. In this regard, several authors suggested to monitor the car driver’s physiological status due to the well known complex correlation between the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the corresponding level of attention. To carry out this study, we used an innovative bio-sensor consisting of a coupled device that includes near-infrared LED emitters and photo-detectors (Silicon PhotoMultiplier device) to assess the driver’s physiological status through the associated PhotoPlethysmGraphy (PPG) signal. We also designed an embedded time-domain hyper-filtering approach combined with a 1D Temporal Convolutional architecture with a progressive dilation setup. The proposed system performs a near real-time classification of the car driver drowsiness achieving impressive results in terms of accuracy (about 96%).","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"38 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":"123338422","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}

Among the diverse parameters that can be chosen in design and sizing processes of a parallel full HEV, the number of gears and the gear ratios in the transmission are considered as fulcra of this case study. For this scope, five different transmissions have been sized while assessing drivability and acceleration performance along with the fuel economy capability. A dynamic programming-based approach algorithm has been utilized for controlling the HEV, thus providing reliable outcomes and enhancing the consistency of the study. The results obtained in the sizing process suggest that the presence of an electric machine may mitigate the effect of the lower number of gears and enhance the fuel consumption efficiency even when reducing the number of gears in the transmission to 2 or 3. More precisely, even though they might be associated to slightly higher fuel consumption and, in turn, operative costs compared with the other considered configurations, these drawbacks can be overcome by the higher savings in production costs, thus suggesting parallel full HEVs with a reduced number of gears as an appealing design option.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"24 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":"125958639","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}

The information is then used to track vehicles and other obstacles in the surroundings of the autonomous vehicle, and also to feed control units that guarantee collision avoidance and motion planning. Nowadays, object detection systems can be divided into two main categories. The first ones are the geometric based, which retrieve the obstacles using geometric and morphological operations on the 3D points. The seconds are the deep learning-based, which process the 3D points, or an elaboration of the 3D point-cloud, with deep learning techniques to retrieve a set of obstacles. This paper presents a comparison between those two approaches, presenting one implementation of each class on a real autonomous vehicle. Accuracy of the estimates of the algorithms has been evaluated with experimental tests carried in the Monza ENI circuit. The positions of the ego vehicle and the obstacle are given by GPS sensors with real time kinematic (RTK) correction, which guarantees an accurate ground truth for the comparison. Both algorithms have been implemented on ROS and run on a consumer laptop.","PeriodicalId":104806,"journal":{"name":"2020 AEIT International Conference of Electrical and Electronic Technologies for Automotive (AEIT AUTOMOTIVE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127367662","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}
