Deep reinforcement agent takes 10 dimensional state vector as input and calculates each wheel’s torque value as a 2 dimensional output vector. These torque values are fed into the dynamic model of the robot, and lastly steering commands are gathered. In previous studies, navigation problem solutions that uses deep - RL methods, have not been considered with agent’s own dynamic constraints, but it has been done by only considering kinematic models. This is not reliable enough for real-world scenarios. In this paper, deep-RL based motion planning is performed by considering both kinematic and dynamic constraints. According to the simulations in a dynamic environment, the agent succesfully navigates through the intersection with 99.6% success rate.","PeriodicalId":357613,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Control Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT)","volume":"83 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114042497","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}

For unmanned driving systems, real time and robust detection and recognition of traffic signs is one of the main concerns. Therefore, a traffic sign detection and recognition system for autonomous radio controlled cars is proposed. In this work, traditional image processing methods and deep neural networks techniques are combined. First, the online video is streamed from the car camera and the input frame region of interest is detected. Secondly, a convolutional neural network is used to recognize these candidate images. Experimental results show that the proposed system works efficiently up to %87.36 of images. However, calibration is needed for image processing techniques for various environments.","PeriodicalId":357613,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Control Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123452893","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}

Information methods get more critical if user/message volume gets higher and message delivery must be on time. Because of performance reasons, the designed systems must be high-available and distributed. In this paper, we discuss how we built a high-performance mailing system by using Apache Kafka as an internal sub-system messaging and how we replaced the existing central database-oriented queuing architecture with this new system. Also, we discuss how we overcame the performance problems of the previous design with new queueing mechanism. About 40 million daily mails are passed through the pipeline successfully after we built the new architecture.","PeriodicalId":357613,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Control Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123589195","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}

One main reason is the need to identify the uncountable potential situations in which the vehicle should be evaluated. Even when they are completely identified, the full-coverage of all these situations is not possible in real-world tests. Virtual validation however can be used to generate infinitesimally changing cases for testing. Nevertheless, the main challenge then becomes the collection and description of realistic test scenarios. This paper proposes an end-to-end approach for scenario generation from various sources. A flexible database structure enables fast and efficient querying that is used to generate an extensive set of test cases. The proposed schema is evaluated end-to-end—from scenario to test case generation to automated simulation and data gathering—populated by a data source based on the experience gained through real world tests. The proposed approach is a further step towards more efficient testing of autonomous functions.","PeriodicalId":357613,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Control Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125986033","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}

Important design parameters like skew, airgap length, slot-pole combination, magnet height-width which affect the output performance are investigated for multi tasked PMSM. Performance output values are analyzed for two operation situation of multitasked PMSM and optimum design values are determined.
