For indirect driving, lack of perception of depth in view hinders steering and navigation. In this paper we present a real-time depth detection system DepthFinder, a system that finds the distances of objects through a monocular vision model. DepthFinder can be used with a camera mounted either at the front of side of a moving vehicle. A real-time matching algorithm is introduced to improve the matching performance by several orders of magnitude. The experiment results and the performance analysis are presented.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.

The aim of the multi-sensor reconfiguration task is to find the uncorrupted measurements and coordinate the sensors in order to supply reliable information at any time; in other words, the multisensor reconfiguration provides reliable information to the robot even if a certain number of sensors are faulty. To reach this end, reconfiguration gathers three tasks: fault detection and isolation task, sensor control task and data integration task. Before information analysis, an effective model of sensors capabilities is necessary. The approach proposed in this paper is a rule-based algorithm. An application to mobile robot multisensor system is presented.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.

This not only required an adaption and restructuring of vehicle guidance but also a development of enhanced abilities for locomotion. In the course of integration of vehicle guidance to the new system, the locomotion part received a new structure and has been extended. By means of the \"turn-off\" maneuver it is shown how single phases of a driving maneuver are triggered and how the transition conditions are generated. During a maneuver phase, command variables for the longitudinal and lateral controllers are generated. The locomotion unit is implemented on both test vehicles VAMORs and VAMP of UBM. Only the hardware specific part depends on the type of vehicle, otherwise, the vehicle guidance is the same for both experimental vehicles.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.

The control laws obtained are used for finding out the initial conditions that will be safe under both of these laws, or at least under one law. Accordingly, the set of conditions for which collision can not be avoided is determined.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.

When we realize such an integrated network, a difficulty lies in the fact that the integrated network does nor have any single authority that can decide priorities between competing communication requests. To treat multiple authorities, we propose an auction scheme to prioritize services in the information network. In the scheme, messages that pay higher prices get higher priorities. We also propose to use a technology of a mobile agent to realize the scheme. We show some examples of mobile agents and how they can solve competition between different authorities in the auction model. We are now developing an integrated network, called IQnet (integrated and qualified network), for intelligent transportation systems. The auction scheme and the mobile agent technology proposed in this paper will be implemented as portions of the functions of IQnet.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.

A key element in such systems is the production of a reliable vehicle-to-vehicle communication link, capable of robust operation in a range of operating environments. This paper reports on a modelling study of one such system conducted as part of the Road Traffic Advisor project within the UK, based on a communication link in the millimetric waveband (approximately 60 GHz). The likely outage is examined for a basic inter-vehicle data link. This is used in conjunction with a simulation of convoy behaviour based on a control model to examine the effect of such outages on convoy operation. The paper concludes that the impact of the communication protocol and the communication outages on the control dynamics of an automated convoy would not degrade its performance.","PeriodicalId":114981,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2000 (Cat.
