This paper contributes HIR algorithm, error of data, and required accuracy towards realization of HIR System. Furthermore, we built the system to acquire position and direction of in-vehicle camera. Based on their previous study, we test the effectiveness of our developed system architecture and made experiment in the situation of turning right at the actual intersection, not georama.

To achieve this goal, RT/E applications are equipped with sensors to acquire specific data representative of the environment state. One distinguishes two kinds of sensors data: exteroceptive data and proprioceptive data. Therefore, it is necessary to use intensively sensors to measure physical phenomena associated to sensors data. Integrating sensors in the application is often a tiresome task requiring high skill in both hardware and software techniques. This paper proposes a solution to make sensors interfacing easier all along RT/E applications development. The objective is to define a prototyping methodology assuming to check the validity of the behavior of the sensor starting from a high level description then to generate the sensor interface code. For that, it is necessary to define driver models based on sensors models specifications. Our proposal has to be conformant to either the IEEE 1451 standard or its equivalent OMG specification for interface specification. In the base of this constraint, we aim to define a methodology to design automatically all sensor interfaces based on networked data exchange like. We focus our approach by choosing CAN (Controller Area Network) and Ethernet networks.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"10 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":"131759702","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}

This approach handles all objects' states as dynamic stochastic variables and based on a Kalman approach calculates in real time all trajectories respectively. 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.

The emphasis of this paper is placed on the deduction of the acceleration equations by considering that the following car is subjected in congested traffic flow. Furthermore, from the cybernetics perspective, this paper has carried out numeral simulation to car-following behaviour with deceleration and acceleration algorithms.

The use of a single low cost image sensor results in an affordable system which is simple to install. The system has been implemented on real-time hardware and has been test driven on highways.

Our method works on both urban and rural areas, while being robust to a number of occlusions and shadows. The spatial tracker incorporates multiple measurement models with varying constraints, automatically detecting and switching to the appropriate model. We demonstrate our technique by correcting in real-time highly inaccurate GPS readings collected while driving in diverse areas.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"91 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":"114256945","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}
