The conventional heart rate measurement techniques using electrocardiogram, wrist belts and so on, are attached with some disadvantages like discomfort, irritation of the skin and even more. From this starting point various video based heart rate measurement techniques were developed in the last years. All of these techniques use video data of the human faces to extract information to estimate the heart rate of the person in front of the camera. Most of them work with the detection of minimal changes in the color spectrum of the recorded video data. With these extracted information and multiple concluding steps, they are able to estimate the heart rate of the person sitting in front of the camera. All of these approaches have some big disadvantages, they are only able to measure the heart rate of one person - and in a small number of cases up to three persons. So the main objective of this work is to adapt and enhance existing research approaches of processing visual biological signals. The focus is set on the design and deployment of a new system, which is able to process visual data as well as detect and localize human faces by using artificial neural networks and calculate each individuals heart rate from the processed data's information. For the first time in this research area, different scenarios with more than three observed participants are being analyzed to calculate the heart rate for each of them separately. It will be shown that by using the applied technical architecture and technologies, it is possible to deploy a comparable and qualitatively competitive system. In addition, the implemented system proves the feasibility of processing various faces' signals and calculating the respective heart rates simultaneously within an acceptable range of tolerance.

The portfolio of models offered by car manufacturing groups often includes many variants (i.e., different car models and their versions). With such diversity in car models, variant management becomes a formidable task. Thus, there is an effort to keep the variants as close as possible. This simple requirement forms a big challenge in the area of communication protocols. When several vehicle variants use the same signal, it is often required to simultaneously schedule such a signal in all vehicle variants. Furthermore, new vehicle variants are designed incrementally in such a way as to maintain backward compatibility with the older vehicles. Backward compatibility of time-triggered schedules reduces expenses relating to testing and fine-tuning of the components that interact with physical environment (e.g., electromagnetic compatibility issues). As this requirement provides for using the same platform, it simplifies signal traceability and diagnostics, across different vehicle variants, besides simplifying the reuse of components and tools. This paper proposes an efficient and robust heuristic algorithm, which creates the schedules for internal communication of new vehicle variants. The algorithm provides for variant management by ensuring compatibility among the new variants, besides preserving backward compatibility with the preceding vehicle variants. The proposed method can save about 20% of the bandwidth with respect to the schedule common to all variants. Based on the results of the proposed algorithm, the impact of maintaining compatibility among new variants and of preserving backward compatibility with the preceding variants on the scheduling procedure is examined and discussed. Thanks to the execution time of the algorithm, which is less than one second, the network parameters like the frame length and cycle duration are explored to find their best choice concerning the schedule feasibility. Finally, the algorithm is tested on benchmark sets and the concept
