For the conventional vehicle, the vacuum is generated by the internal combustion engine. In order to use the same brake booster on the electric vehicle, the vacuum has to be created by an electric vacuum pump. The control of the electric vacuum pump can be achieved by an electromechanical pressure sensor which detects the change of the vacuum chamber and activates the pump. However, there is some concern that this system is not safe because the driver can not be noticed when the pump or the sensor failed. Therefore, the new system architecture of the electric vacuum brake booster system was proposed in this paper. The electronic pressure sensor replaces the electromechanical pressure sensor in the original system; as a result, the pressure of the vacuum chamber can be fed back to the electronic control unit, which achieves more precise pressure control. The electronic control unit also monitors the power source and the current of the electric vacuum pump, which can give information about whether the auxiliary brake force is available. Besides, four fail-safe strategies are developed for ensuring that all the failures can be found and handled. The electronic control unit was implemented with a microprocessor, and the functions were validated in the bench test as well as in a prototype vehicle. The results indicate that the driver can be informed the conditions of the electric vacuum brake booster system so that the driver has no unexpected and dangerous situations.","PeriodicalId":143706,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121211478","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}

In CR environment, many secondary users (SU) share the available spectrum and the SU shall properly select the channel to avoid congestion on the same channel so that the throughput can be maximized. This paper proposes a systematic method to select channel for better transmission performance. A fusion center (FC) is assumed to collect the channel information sent by SUs and decides the channel for the SU that issues the transmission request. The proposed schemes adopt the weight based concept to choose the appropriate channel for the SU. Two strategies, which are the egoistic approach and the cooperative approach, are proposed in this paper to maximize the individual transmission rate and overall system throughput, respectively. Exhaustive simulations were carried out to examine the performance of the proposed schemes. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better performance when compared to the other scheme.","PeriodicalId":143706,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115923184","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 one of measures against the collision accidents, a radar system mounted on a vehicle has been attracting attention. By the radar mounted on a vehicle, it is possible to recognize the situation around the vehicle. The ranging with automotive infrared radar is very accurate, and able to understand the object existence in the observation around the vehicle. However, in order to grasp the situation around the vehicle, it is necessary to be aware of the attribute of the detected object. The information obtained by the automotive radar vehicle is only the direction and the distance of the object. Thus, the determination of the attribute of the detected object is very difficult. In this paper, we propose a vehicle recognition method by using reflectors. Through experiments, we show that the proposed method is effective for vehicle recognition.","PeriodicalId":143706,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122968852","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}

Moreover, it complies with the requirements regarding the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines. A proposed analysis method which incorporates HFACS-MA with Why-Because Analysis to provide a comprehensive insight into the accident regarding Herald of Free Enterprise disaster is also demonstrated. This integration may prove beneficial for spotlighting the causalities of the causal factors identified and the vulnerability of the operating system.

In the berthing stage, both the yaw angle and the sway distance are used as feedback signals to activate the bow and stern thrusters, and proper thrust allocation is employed to achieve smooth sideway movements towards the berthing wall. The experimental results revealed that the auto-berthing control system successfully mimics the actions of a human pilot in accomplishing the approach and berthing maneuvers of a small boat in a real-world harbor environment.","PeriodicalId":143706,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122696040","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}

Subcarriers of OFDM signal are orthogonally used on the frequency spectrum, and can resist multipath effect characteristics. Recently, OFDM has been used widely in many kinds of communication standards. But the OFDM signal has a major disadvantage is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which can resulted in significant nonlinear distortion when the signal is operated through a nonlinear region of power amplifier, and induces the degradation of bit error rate (BER). The methods of PAPR reduction, selective mapping (SLM) is effective and uncomplicated. SLM is a linear operation, it doesn't destroyed the signal itself. The received signal can be demodulated perfectly at receiver. But SLM has a problem of the high computational complexity, in this paper, introduce a modified SLM. The technique uses the concept of partition into subcarriers, called a partial-sequence SLM (P-SLM), which considerably reduces the computational complexity with the similar performance of PAPR reduction compared with the conventional SLM scheme. The simulation results show that it achieves better performance of reduces the computational complexity than the conventional SLM scheme.","PeriodicalId":143706,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on ITS Telecommunications","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128128789","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}
