Though there are many ways to estimate the side slip angle, some problems still exist in the popular estimation techniques based on the kinematic model, the dynamic model, and the combined kinematic-dynamic model. Therefore we propose the adaptive side slip observer. A combined model of linearized roll motion and lateral vehicle dynamics was used to involve the roll motion in the second-order lateral vehicle dynamics. Furthermore, a time delay was also applied to the combined model, reflecting the reaction time between the steering angle and the side slip angle. We designed an H∞ discrete-time slip angle observer using linear matrix inequality to reduce the infinite norm between a set of disturbance inputs and the estimation error. The performance of the proposed method was validated via simulations and experiments.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117197260","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 objective of this paper is to present a model for estimating the maneuvers of the vehicles approaching an urban intersection. This estimation is part of the Intelligent Cooperative Intersection Safety system (IRIS), which assists the road users at urban intersections. The system uses vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and extended road side sensing to track and predict the movements of individual road users. The estimation of the future situation at the intersection is an input for the identification of safety-critical situations. Once the system detects a critical situation, it sends a warning message to the road users via short-range communication. The system was successfully tested at a real intersection in the city of Dortmund, Germany.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116062611","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}

Thirty cars with volunteer drivers were asked to drive around a tight closed road circuit causing them to pass repeatedly through a cross-roads junction from all directions. The junction was signalized. In different test-runs of the experiment the traffic lights were controlled by either an automated fixed-time system or by a human using remote control. All vehicles in the test were instrumented using GPS and bluetooth. Video footage from two cameras was also recorded.recorded. The goal of the experiment was to collect data on the performance of human junction controllers. This was motivated by earlier work indicated that human controllers could perform well at this task in a simulated `computer game' environment. In particular this paper examines some of the issues that arise when trying to simulate an urban road junction in this manner. For example results are presented indicating differences in network performance depending on whether the drivers were instructed to follow a fixed route or a random route of their choice. Thus providing some guidance for maximizing the fidelity of this type of simulation in the future.

Specifically, we provide validity to concepts that are taken for granted by providing simulations to support these considerations. We also provide a discussion of the architecture implementations that define these concepts that capture classification methods negating the problem with open interpretation as to where the data are being collected from as well as being processed. We provide a refinement within the scope of ITS by systematically classifying the roles and interaction between processing and data collection. Furthermore, we then utilize key classifications of processing and data collection that includes either a centralized or distributed framework approaches. These approaches illustrate how vehicles can be used to accomplish dynamic rerouting by applying knowledge of network state but also network composition to achieve lower travel times when incidents occur.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123201449","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 present paper is devoted to model and plan the rail port cycle, at an aggregate level, with the goal of satisfying a given demand of trains outgoing from a generic container terminal. In order to do that, a discrete-time queue-based model resulting in a mixed-integer linear mathematical programming problem has been formulated; moreover, an event-triggered receding-horizon planning scheme has been defined in order to take into account possible disturbances affecting the system. The proposed approach has been applied to a real container terminal located in the Northern Italy coast; the results obtained show the effectiveness of the presented planning framework.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123444268","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}

With this approach a higher number of use cases can be covered than with existing HMIs. The effectiveness of this system is evaluated in a driving simulator study with 13 subjects in four critical traffic situations. The gaze attention times are ascertained with eye tracking technology; mental effort and acceptance are determined by questionnaires and the comprehensibility by semi-structured interviews. There are indications of shortened gaze attention times using the LED strip compared to the baseline without driver support. The subjects understand the information submitted mostly intuitively. The acceptance ratings overall are in a positive range, but differ between scenarios.","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128054275","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 riding pattern recognition problem is formulated as a classification problem aiming to identify the class of the riding situation by using data collected from three-accelerometer and three-gyroscope sensors mounted on the motorcycle. These measurements constitute experimental database which is valuable to analyze Powered Two Wheelers (PTW) rider behavior. Five well known machine learning techniques are used: the Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forests (RFs) and the Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) in both (discrete and continuous) cases. The HMMs are widely applied for studying time series data which is the case of our problem. The data preprocessing consists of filtering, normalizing and manual labeling in order to create the training and testing sets. The experimental study carried out on a real dataset shows the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and more particularly of the HMM approach to perform such riding pattern recognition. These encouraging results work in favor of developing such methodologies in the naturalistic riding studies (NRS).","PeriodicalId":275768,"journal":{"name":"16th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128069812","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}
