In the burgeoning field of autonomous vehicles (AVs), trajectory prediction remains a formidable challenge, especially in mixed autonomy environments. Traditional approaches often rely on computational methods such as time-series analysis. Our research diverges significantly by adopting an interdisciplinary approach that integrates principles of human cognition and observational behavior into trajectory prediction models for AVs. We introduce a novel “adaptive visual sector” mechanism that mimics the dynamic allocation of attention human drivers exhibit based on factors like spatial orientation, proximity, and driving speed. Additionally, we develop a “dynamic traffic graph” using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Graph Attention Networks (GAT) to capture spatio-temporal dependencies among agents. Benchmark tests on the NGSIM, HighD, and MoCAD datasets reveal that our model (GAVA) outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by at least 15.2%, 19.4%, and 12.0%, respectively. Our findings underscore the potential of leveraging human cognition principles to enhance the proficiency and adaptability of trajectory prediction algorithms in AVs.

In this paper, we present a self-powered wireless sensor system (WSS) integrated with an energy harvester (EH) to enable battery-free real-time monitoring of rotating shafts in ships. The EH implementation involved the use of multiple flexible coils and magnets, resulting in a power capability of 0.5 W. Subsequently, a comprehensive WSS was designed, incorporating four sensors, specifically tailored for the rotary shaft. To validate the system’s performance, the designed WSS was successfully deployed on a small-scale test bench system with a 200 mm shaft diameter, demonstrating real-time monitoring of the propulsion shaft status without the need for a battery.

Latching Current Limiter (LCL) is used in satellites to protect payloads. A CMOS power transistor is commonly used as a switching device in these types of circuits. The LCL limits the current under short-circuit conditions, isolates the fault to maintain the safety of the Electrical Power System (EPS). Nevertheless, its functionality can be lost due to the effects of radiation present in space. This condition can compromise the operation of the satellite. To improve radiation tolerance, Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor can be used as the switching device because it has more radiation hardness than silicon transistors. In this work, two LCLs implemented with GaN transistors and with integrated control loop in 0.18μm CMOS technology are presented. The control loops were implemented with Low Voltage (LV) devices that support up to 3.3 V. LCLs have limitation current and trip-off time as adjustable protection parameters. Validation tests were carried out on circuit prototypes under short-circuit conditions, for different supply voltages. The LCLs presented a response time of less than 10μs and worked correctly in all the tests carried out.

There has been a strong interest in statistically characterizing the cavity quality factor (Q-factor) for large, complex enclosures. While there are existing methods for analyzing the Q-factor statistics due to distributed losses, there is currently little discussion about the statistical cavity Q-factor caused by localized losses, such as aperture leakage and absorptive loading. This paper presents a physics-oriented, hybrid deterministic-stochastic model that calculates the probability distribution of cavity Q-factor. The research work is evaluated and validated through representative experiments.

In this work, we propose an energy harvester (EH) designed for wireless sensor system (WSS) applications on marine propulsion shafts. Two EH designs are presented: a flexible PCB-based EH and an EH with an integrated rotor and stator. The flexible PCB-based EH utilizes multiple magnets and flexible PCBs, achieving an average power of 2117.45 mW at a low speed of 100 rpm with a 3 mm air gap. This EH demonstrates that it is possible to implement a self-power WSS for real-time monitoring of a marine propulsion shaft. The second EH with a hollow circular tube, eight coils with 3,000 winding turns, and a 1.25T spherical magnet generates an average power of 303.21 mW at 100 rpm. The tube provides the fastest rolling of the magnet inside the tube which ultimately increases the electromotive force induced in the coils. This outstanding accomplishment demonstrates the potential of the proposed EH to create WSSs for marine shaft monitoring systems by collecting rotational energy during ship operations.

In this paper, we introduce a novel energy harvester (EH) using rolling magnets, which can supply power to a wireless sensor system (WSS) for monitoring the status of rotating ship shafts. The EH consists of twelve coils and seven magnets, which generate energy from the shaft's motion and supply it to the WSS for monitoring the shaft system's status. We installed the EH on a 20 cm diameter shaft and obtained a transferred voltage of 0.84 V and an output power of 47.2 mW with 2000 turns of each coil, despite a rotation speed of 25 rpm and a 3 mm air gap. The proposed EH shows great potential for monitoring rotating shaft on ships.

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a promising paradigm in 5G and future 6G networks that controls physical components through computing and communication while ensuring efficacy, intelligence, and security. The number of smart mobile devices or sensors in smart cities is growing very fast. These devices can process applications in real-time only for a short time due to limited resource capacity. The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) paradigm is a prominent solution that allows devices to offload intensive tasks and allocate resources. However, the terrestrial MEC servers will be overwhelmed and unable to meet the requirements of 6G technologies for ultra-low-latency applications and mobile devices. Aerial-borne MEC servers have recently supported ultra-reliable, low-latency communication applications and mobile devices in an emergency scenario by providing resources and relaying them to a cloud server. In the intelligent aerial-enabled smart city CPS (S2CPS), decisionmaking tasks such as resource allocation, association, and ensuring trust between links are challenging, and the optimization problem is multi-objective. Therefore, we proposed a hierarchical, deep federated learning-empowered, energy-efficient resource allocation for aerial-enabled S2CPS to minimize the overall energy consumption while considering the quality of service of user devices and the privacy of task offloading in a dynamic environment. We validated the proposed framework through extensive simulations, proving it outperformed the baseline algorithms.
