However, two issues on the delivery of services remain to be addressed: 1) how to quickly build a flexible ATIS to incorporate services that reside in the extant software; and 2) how to perform complex services on the devices of limited resources like on-board PCs. In this paper, we propose a service delivery mechanism based on Web services and agent technology to alleviate these issues. Based on the proposed mechanism, a flexible and extensible ATIS can be developed and its services can be delivered in a systematic manner.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

The 4WS vehicle is assumed to be set up in a previously studied look-down reference system with sensors installed on the vehicle's front and rear bumpers to measure its lateral displacements from the reference path. Past research in the path tracking control have showed the difficulties to design a controller that is robust against the intensive vehicle modeling uncertainties and disturbances. In this paper, noticed the new dynamic characteristics of 4WS vehicles, we firstly found a new robust sliding mode controller for a class of linear systems and then apply it to the path tracking problem of 4WS vehicles. Both theoretical analysis and simulations show that with the proposed controller, the system's tracking accuracy, stability and robustness against the parameter variances and external disturbances, especially the changes of road friction condition, longitudinal velocity and crosswind forces, are identically guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

Under consideration of a moving pedestrian (94%) 2/3 of all car-to-pedestrian accidents are addressed with the presented pedestrian protection approach. A region of no escape (RONE) is introduced. This RONE describes an area in front of the car where the car-to-pedestrian accident is unavoidable, if the pedestrian is detected inside this area.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

Applications of Carring are mechatronic systems in cars, but it is also applicable to general LANs. This paper introduces different medium access methods for Carring. Carring applies synchronous time slots for medium access together with an extension algorithm that allows reallocating unused time slots, thus achieving maximum bandwidth utilization of the ring. Another way of efficient bandwidth allocation in Carring deals with the usage of release algorithms. Furthermore, the fibre distributed data interface (FDDI) is described in order to compare it with Carring.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

To study this new system, the algorithm has been implemented on an embedded computer equipped with multiple cameras. We present experimental results obtained on a track.

The focus of the investigations was on methods, which allow a precise and detailed description of both significant features of pedestrians: shape and motion. Since the practical employment of such methods requires a good initialization and tracking, a multi sensor system was developed consisting of a far infrared camera, a laser scanning device and ego motion sensors. To handle the combination of the information of the different sensors a Kalman filter based data fusion is used. Arranging a set of Kalman filters in parallel, a multi sensor/multi target tracking system was created. The system structure combines a straightforward with a backward loop methodology to combine fast initiation functions with more affordable verification functions. Therefore formerly known semiautomatic image processing methods work fully automatically in the system. The analysis of the estimated optical flow regarding the typical human motion as well as the analysis of shape parameters using active contour models is performed. The multi sensor/multi target tracking system is installed on a test vehicle to obtain practical results, which are also discussed in this article.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

A model-based algorithm employing only disparity information is demonstrated to be able to segment the whole road surface without knowledge of infrastructures and features like lane markings. This helps navigation in suburban and country-road environments, and recovery from critical failure of lane-markings trackers.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.
