This paper presents a stochastic hybrid model of freeway traffic at a time scale and at a level of detail suitable for on-line flow estimation, for routing and ramp metering control. The model describes the evolution of continuous and discrete state variables. The freeway is considered as a network of components, each component representing a different section of the network. The traffic model, designed from physical considerations, comprises sending and receiving functions describing the downstream and upstream propagation of perturbations to be controlled. Results from simulation investigations illustrate the effectiveness of our model compared to the well-known METANET model.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121821215","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}

Observed overtaking frequencies are lower than overtaking demand, especially when the directional split becomes more equal. Therefore we recommend adding directional split to the equation to calculate overtaking frequency.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125246498","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 that fusing radar data with infrared data considerably increases detection range, reliability and accuracy of the object tracking. This is mandatory for further development of driver assistance systems. Using multiple model filtering for sensor fusion applications helps to capture the dynamics of maneuvering objects while still achieving smooth object tracking for not maneuvering objects. This is important when safety and comfort systems have to make use of the same sensor information. Comfort systems generally require smoothly filtered data whereas for safety systems it is crucial to capture maneuvers of other road users as fast as possible. Multiple model filtering and probabilistic data association techniques are presented and all presented algorithms are tested in real-time on standard PC systems.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"65 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126986177","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}

Arranging a set of Kalman filters in parallel, a multi sensor/multi target tracking system was created. The usage of suitable movement models has a great influence on the performance of the tracking system. Several types of models are discussed focussing on the typical behavior of pedestrians in road environments.

In this paper we propose to include caching in the geocast forwarding scheme and improved neighborhood selection to address in particular the high velocities of vehicles. High velocities of vehicular networks are a major difference to usual mobile ad hoc networks which assume only moderate node movement. We show that a cache for presently unforwardable messages caused by network partitioning or unfavorable neighbors can significantly improve the geocast delivery success ratio. The improved neighborhood selection taking frequent neighborhood changes into account significantly decreases network load and decreased end-to-end delivery delay.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133821434","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}

This paper describes an approach that utilizes artificial neural networks to alleviate the task of onboard diagnostics for fuel cell vehicles. The basic idea is an online learning scenario that trains a power train model with every-day driving data; this model can then be used to estimate a characteristic curve by feeding it with predefined input variables corresponding to the constant conditions of a stationary workshop test. In this way, a major obstacle for on-line diagnosis, namely the multitude of varying nuisance variables, can be compensated for. For a diagnosis algorithm, it is considerably easier to compare the resulting predicted characteristic curve with an ideal reference curve, rather than to directly deal with all the influence factors.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127838287","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}

Thus, a reconstruction of the traffic scene can be achieved in order to assess a level of threat for all moving and stationary obstacles in the longitudinal area of the subject vehicle. This approach is adopted in the European co-funded project \"EUCLIDE\", which develops a vision enhancement and collision warning system merging the functionality of an infrared camera and mmw radar sensor.
