It has attracted the interest of both industrial and academic communities due to its potential in reducing accidents and saving lives. In VANETs, vehicles can communicate with each other to exchange traffic and road information. One of the challenges in VANETs is to determine the location of a vehicle in the network. In this paper, we propose an intelligent localization method, which is based on fuzzy logic and neighbors' location information. The main objective of our proposed method is to estimate the location of a vehicle by utilizing the location information of its neighboring vehicles. To achieve accurate localization, we model vehicles' weights using fuzzy logic system, which utilizes the distance and heading information in order to obtain the weight values. By assigning weights to neighboring vehicles' coordinates, we expand the concept of centroid localization (CL). We evaluate our proposed method via simulation and compare its performance against CL. Results obtained from the simulation are promising and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in varying traffic densities.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"270 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":"123056233","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}

A simplified variant of the problem is examined based on the linear quarter-car model of semi-active suspension dynamics. Road disturbance is modeled as a combination of a known road profile, an unmeasured stochastic road profile and potholes. Suspension response when the vehicle hits the pothole is modeled as an impulsive change in wheel velocity with magnitude linked to physical characteristics of the pothole and of the vehicle. The problem of selecting the optimal damping mode from a finite set of damping modes is considered, based on road profile data. The information flow and V2C2V implementation are defined based on partitioning the computations and data between the vehicle and the cloud. A simulation example is presented.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"21 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":"127648879","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}

Databases do not contain root causes or the case-based analyses needed to diagnose or predict breakdowns. 21st Century Systems, Inc. previously introduced the Agent-Enabled Logistics Enterprise Intelligence System (AELEIS) to assist logistics analysts with assessing the availability and prognostics of assets in the logistics pipeline. One component being developed within AELEIS is incorporation of the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) to assist with identification of impending fault conditions along with fault identification. This paper presents an analysis into the application of MTS within data representing a known vehicular fault, showing how construction of the Mahalanobis Space using competing methodologies can lead to reduced false positives while still capturing true positive fault conditions. These results are then discussed within the larger scope of AELEIS and the resulting C2 benefits.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"1 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":"130752437","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}

To illustrate this approach, a non-trivial network is used, departing from binary route choice scenarios. Our result shows that the proposed approach is able to find low travel times, without the need of recomputing shortest paths iteratively.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"1 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":"129303970","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}

Total 440 minutes video data on two different locations on campus are extracted by employing videographic technique. The research is designed determine factors for traffic flow variety. Fluctuations in traffic flow depends on the student schedules, particularly during the peak time as there are large pedestrian flow and bicycle flow in short interval time. At the same time, a spatial-temporal analysis for establishing the relationship about mixed traffic flows is discussed. Flow models of speed-flow, speed-occupancy, flow-occupancy about mixed traffic are developed to illustrate behavior characteristics of mixed traffic stream on campus of different dimensions.

We first construct a probability of the occupancy map using the UV-disparity methodology. Traditionally, a simple threshold has been applied to segment obstacles from the occupancy map based on the connectivity of the resulting regions; however, this outcome is sensitive to the choice of parameter value. In our proposed method, instead of simple thresholding, we perform a topological persistence analysis on the constructed occupancy map. The topological framework hierarchically encodes all possible segmentation results as a function of the threshold, thus we can identify the regions that are most persistent. This leads to a more robust segmentation. The approach is analyzed using real stereo image pairs from standard datasets.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"16 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":"122243809","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}

Many people have researched methods for reducing distraction of drivers and helping them to drive safely. Many studies have concerned products that monitor the state of drivers directly or indirectly and warn them of risk. In some previous studies, test subjects were forced to drive normally and inattentively to find the distinct feature patterns. However, the problem is that each driver can have different patterns in normal and abnormal driving. Moreover, in real driving conditions, they do not behave inattentively on purpose, and thus the patterns may not be replicated. In this paper, we present algorithms and experimental results that detect distraction by using in-vehicle signals without planned distraction. By using two kinds of machine learning schemes-unsupervised learning and supervised learning together-, normal and distracted driving features can be classified in real driving situation.","PeriodicalId":283766,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Vehicles and Transportation Systems (CIVTS)","volume":"609 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":"132494680","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}
