Some important vehicle states which are necessary for chassis control cannot be directly measured at low cost, such as the vehicle longitudinal and lateral velocities. In the existing literature, many vehicle state estimation solutions are designed based on vehicle dynamic models. These models inevitably involve the acquisition of tire forces which cannot be easily measured or estimated. In this paper, a vehicle state estimator is proposed based on a straightforward vehicle kinematic model, which does not rely on any tire force information. The complexity and computation load of the proposed state estimator is low. Besides, to ensure competitive estimation performance, the state transition model used in this estimator is designed to be adaptive to the on-board sensor measurements. In the simulation studies, the proposed estimator is able to provide accurate estimation results under different simulation conditions, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed vehicle state estimator.","PeriodicalId":119721,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th CAA International Conference on Vehicular Control and Intelligence (CVCI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126132965","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 evaluation methods of driving comfort mainly contain subjective and objective evaluation. Subjective evaluation is time-consuming, expensive and sensitive to personal feelings. And objective evaluation is difficult to exactly define the relationship between objective parameters and driving comfort. In order to combine the advantages of subjective and objective evaluation, a neural network that adopt objective indicators as input and subjective ratings as output was established for evaluating driving comfort. First, a road test with about 9000 km was conducted and key parameters of vehicle status were recorded, as well as subjective ratings. Secondly, 25,165 segments were extracted from the naturalistic driving data. Then, total weighted root-mean-square accelerations of all segments were computed according to ISO 2631–1997 Standard. And the result shows that the comfort levels calculated by weighted root-mean-square accelerations cannot match the subjective ratings given by professional evaluators very well. Finally, a 20-128-256-256-128-6 BP neural network was established and trained. And the accuracy of evaluation based on neural network is better than evaluation based on weighted root-mean-square value. The result reveals that it is feasible to establish a neural network model based on collected naturalistic driving data to evaluate the driving comfort of vehicles.","PeriodicalId":119721,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th CAA International Conference on Vehicular Control and Intelligence (CVCI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124087097","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}

Then, an FNTSM controller is designed for the MWAGV, and the control system's stability is verified via Lyapunov. Lastly, simulations are executed to test the control performance in the cases of lateral motion and circular motion with an initial offset.

A group of two-factor experiments, in which two factors are: (1) advance responding time for drivers: 15s,45s, (2) notification modes to drivers: audio, visual, audio/visual, were performed to quantitatively measure driver workload by using eye tracking data, which is highly relevant to driving safety. The results of these experiments indicate that drivers' workloads increased more smoothly when given audio notification and more responding time during transitions.

Thus, the Visual-Inertial navigation system will collapse occasionally and thus undermine the navigation result. In this work, we propose a adaptive mechanism that could switch between three modes, only VINs, only GNSS and VINS&GNSS fusion. When Visual-Inertial component breaks down, our algorithm could only rely on the GNSS signal until VINS recovers. Similarly, when GNSS signal is not very accurate, our system could only rely on the VINS-Mono. We demonstrate our algorithm under challenging scenarios such as night sight and high speed road and do both qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.","PeriodicalId":119721,"journal":{"name":"2020 4th CAA International Conference on Vehicular Control and Intelligence (CVCI)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114565469","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 results show the regeneration energy efficiency of proposed strategy achieves improvement is over 10% compared with the constant speed strategy.
