By scanning the deployed QR codes, a Smartphone can pinpoint the host location and parking location efficiently. Based on the submitted location information, the central control system can finally return the recommended routes, which facilitates a host to reach the parking location effectively. In our model, the reverse car-searching route is divided into two parts: choosing the optimal exports (elevator) and computing the shortest walking distance route. Based on the optimal export selection algorithm and regional shortest path algorithm, our model can choose the prior exports (elevator) effectively, and then recommend the optimal walking route in the buildings and parking lots. The simulation shows that this low-cost system can effectively solve the reverse car-searching problem in large buildings and parking lots, save the driver's car-searching time and improve the utilization rate of parking facilities.","PeriodicalId":248904,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133273756","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}

Mechanical differentials are heavy and bulky and are not suitable for electric vehicles especially those employing separate drives for both the rear wheels. Electronic differential constitutes a technological advance in electric vehicle design enabling better stability and control of the vehicle on curved roads. This paper presents modelling and simulation of an electronic differential employing a novel wavelet controller for two brushless DC motors ensuring the drive of the two rear wheels. The proposed controller uses discrete wavelet transform to decompose the error between actual and command speed as given by the electronic differential based on throttle and steering angle as the input into frequency components. These frequency components are scaled by their respective gains to generate a control signal which is given as input to the motor. To test the system, several simulations were carried out viz. vehicle on a straight road and vehicle driven on a road turning right and left. The results and comparison with conventional controllers like PID has been presented.","PeriodicalId":248904,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129683215","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}

Here we introduce a car-sharing service of vehicle-following personal vehicles along streets in residential areas inhabited by elderly people. This study achieves a vehicle control function with high reliability, high accuracy, and ease of handling by a measuring device that uses a draw wire encoder. First, we consider background issues pertaining to transports and residential streets in Japan. Next, we give an introduction on vehicle-following technologies we have developed. We then describe a measuring device that uses a draw wire encoder for the proposed vehicle-following service, as well as the underlying control algorithms implemented by the measuring device. Finally, we report the results of experiments conducted on small electric vehicles (EVs). The results verify that the proposed device and vehicle-following control algorithms enable vehicles to drive with vehicle-to-vehicle distance errors of approximately ±10 cm.","PeriodicalId":248904,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121374482","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 this paper we investigate a 3D Point Cloud based solution for intersection recognition and road segment classification. We set up the intersection recognition problem as one of decoding a linear-chain Conditional Random Field (CRF). This allows us to encode temporal consistency relations between adjacent scans in our process, leading to a less error prone recognition algorithm. We quantify this claim experimentally. We first build a grid map of the point cloud, segmenting the region surrounding the robot into navigable and non-navigable regions. Then, based on our proposed beam model, we extract a descriptor of the scene. This we do as each scan is received from the robot. Based on the descriptor we build a linear chain-CRF. By decoding the CRF-chain we are able to recognize the type of road segment taken into consideration. With the proposed method, we are able to recognize Xjunctions, T-shaped intersections and standard non-branching road segments. We compare the CRF-based approach with a standard SVM based one and show performance gain due to the CRF formulation.","PeriodicalId":248904,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122846296","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}

Our analytical and simulation results suggest that, in the free flow uncongested traffic state in which vehicle speed has Gaussian probability distribution, the link duration PDF can be approximated as lognormal with appropriate parametrization.

The heart of the system is a combination of pistons which act together to refill the tyre. Temperature compensated pressure sensor keeps a constant vigil on the value of the tyre pressure. Separate mechanisms are included to refill and also to reduce the pressure. Thus this system allows the user to modify the set point of the tyre pressure which would prove necessary when the number of people in the vehicle change or there is a change in the type of the road in which the vehicle traverses.
