Moreover, it depicts how the huge amount of data are managed within the asset management system SIM (Maintenance Information System) of the Italian Railways. The processes described reflect a modern approach to the railway infrastructure management. The most important benefit of ARCHIMEDE is the integration of many parameters and the subsequent correlation of different aspects.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"1 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":"131385530","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}

Short range radar (SRR) sensors in the 24 GHz domain allow coverage of the surroundings of the vehicle, complementing the existing 77 GHz radars used for adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems since 1999. This paper deals with a special variant of pre-crash systems, namely: \"pre-crash for vulnerable road users protection\". The target is the protection and collision mitigation of pedestrians and bicyclists versus a vehicle. To achieve trigger information for automatic protection systems (like automatic braking or other reversible systems) as well as warning information for drivers, a high performance sensor platform is necessary. This paper presents approaches from the EC-funded project SAVE-U (sensors and system architecture for vulnerable road users protection) of the fifth framework program of the European Commission. The sensor platform consists of short range radar sensors, cameras in the visible and infrared domain. The focus is located on a high- and low-level- data fusion architecture to fulfill the strong requirements. The intension of this paper is mainly to describe the 24 GHz short range radar sensor development for the detection capability of pedestrians in ranges up to 30 m and the sensor fusion technique.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"6 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":"130292948","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}

They aim at achieving homogeneous and intense beam patterns in order to improve driver comfort and safety. They can be considered as first prototypes of a more general class of human centric mechatronic systems which are now introduced in automotive applications. Thanks to the use of new optical concepts for the generation of adaptive beam patterns, effective adjustments of the beam pattern to the traffic situation can be achieved. In this paper, the necessary beam pattern that has to be generated by an individual vehicle is calculated, taking information about the vehicle and its surroundings into account.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"255 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":"132353187","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 space of the car is narrow so that it limits driver's action. We can expect that the driver can stay in one position in order to capture the image. But captured image can be easily influenced from the environment, such as the outside scene and illumination. The capturing method, which is suitable for detecting person in such environment, needs to be considered. First, we investigated the character of the light wavelength used for capturing. And then we examined the capturing method which is suitable for detecting in a car. Finally we acquired the information of driver with the proposed method and detected the driver's posture by performing image processing.","PeriodicalId":296386,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, 2004","volume":"174 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":"129474024","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}
