Several new considerations are made to construct the hierarchy of driver activity. Driver activity is represented and recognized at multiple levels: individual body-part pose/gesture at the low level, single body-part action at the middle level, and the driver interaction with the vehicle at the high level. Driving is represented in terms of the interactions among driver, vehicle, and surround, and driver activity is recognized by a rule-based decision tree. Our system works with a single color camera data, and it can be easily expanded to incorporate multimodal sensor data.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

Thus, several observers (virtual sensors) were developed in the last decade. In order to solve the unhandled estimation inaccuracy problem caused by system parameter variation and/or model uncertainty, a robust observer has been proposed in this paper. It maintains the good disturbance rejection property that derived form previous research, and simultaneously provides acceptable tolerance to model variance and uncertainty. Specially, effects of displacements of sensory, dynamics variance caused by mass/velocity/friction-coefficients change or nonlinear characteristics are studied. Simulations demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed observer.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

The LiDAR is combined with an IMU in a Kalman filter to produce estimates of vehicle velocity, heading, lateral error, and sensor biases. It is shown how this combination is effective in providing accurate state estimates while removing sensor errors due to noise and bias.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

This infrastructure allows client-server connections over 802.11 wireless networks as well as over police radio networks. The AVL module transmits GPS information to headquarters over the radio network. In order not to overwhelm the radio network, heuristic rules are used to decide when to transmit data and when to discard it. The AVL module was successfully tested in the field. The status monitoring module is designed to use the on-board diagnostics II (OBD II) standard to connect to the vehicle's internal bus. The prototype was successfully tested in laboratory conditions with simulated OBD II data.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.

In general, fuzzy control system is a nonlinear control system. Therefore, the fuzzy controller may be linearized by the use of describing function first. After then, the traditional frequency domain method i.e. parameter plane, is then applied to determine the condition of stability when the system has perturbed or adjustable parameters. A systematic procedure is proposed to solve this problem. The stability problem under the effects of plant parameters and control factors are both considered here. Furthermore, the effect of transport delay is also addressed. The limit cycles provided by a static fuzzy controller can be easily suppressed if the system parameters are chosen properly. Simulation results show the efficiency of our approach.","PeriodicalId":386189,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Proceedings.
