Traffic sign recognition is an important topic in driver assistant system and intelligent autonomous vehicles. Traffic sign detection is a critical step, whose performance greatly affect the performance and computation cost of traffic sign recognition. In this paper, we propose a traffic sign detection method based on a scoring SVM model. First, traffic sign color and color gradient are extracted according to their color characteristics. Then, the shape of traffic sign is computed by a voting scheme, yielding shape score maps. After that, the score maps of traffic signs are used to train a SVM model. Compared with single traffic sign score value, the score map is more efficient to verify the existence of a traffic sign. Finally, the trained SVM model is used to detect traffic signs. Experiments show that the proposed method is more effective than the voting based method to detect traffic signs.

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) has been a promising technique for wireless communication areas, such as intelligent transportation systems. In this paper, we present performance evaluation of a multi-antenna transceiver for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) according to IEEE 802.11p standard. Herein, MIMO WAVE is performed by employing three MIMO schemes, namely, Alamouti, vertical BLAST (V-BLAST) and space shift keying (SSK) scheme. The above three MIMO schemes are discussed and compared, considering the influence of different driving velocity and with/without line of sight (LOS) on the system performance. Based on the analysis and simulation results, it can be found that compared with single antenna systems, V-BLAST scheme would significantly increase the transmission data rate, while Alamouti and SSK scheme could improve the reliability and robustness even under poor receive conditions.

We investigate the basin of attraction properties and its boundaries for chimera states in a circulant network of Hénon maps. It is known that coexisting basins of attraction lead to a hysteretic behaviour in the diagrams of the density of states as a function of a varying parameter. Chimera states, for which coherent and incoherent domains occur simultaneously, emerge as a consequence of the coexistence of basin of attractions for each state. Consequently, the distribution of chimera states can remain invariant by a parameter change, as well as it can suffer subtle changes when one of the basins ceases to exist. A similar phenomenon is observed when perturbations are applied in the initial conditions. By means of the uncertainty exponent, we characterise the basin boundaries between the coherent and chimera states, and between the incoherent and chimera states, respectively. This way, we show that the density of chimera states can be not only moderately sensitive but also highly sensitive to initial conditions. This chimera's dilemma is a consequence of the fractal and riddled nature of the basins boundaries. Coupled dynamical systems have been used to describe the behaviour of real complexsystems, such as power grids, neuronal networks, economics, and chemical reactions. Furthermore, these systems can exhibit various kinds of interesting nonlinear dynamics, e.g. synchronisation, chaotic oscillations, and chimera states. The chimera state is a spatio-temporal pattern characterised by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent dynamics. It has been observed in a great variety of systems, ranging from theoretical and experimental arrays of oscillators, to in phenomena such as the unihemispheric sleep of cetaceans. We study the chimera state in a circulant network of Hénon maps, seeking to determine how the density of states in the network depends on the system parameters and the initial conditions. We have found that, as expected, the density of states might be inva

A new disturbance rejection method to achieves good control performance for a nonlinear time-delay system is presented in this paper. This method effectively reject any disturbances. First, the configuration of the control system is constructed based on the equivalent-input-disturbance method. Then, a sufficient condition for global uniform ultimate boundedness and feedback controller are developed using linear matrix inequality. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is proved by a numerical simulation.

In this article, I would like to share my daughter's experience on self-STEAM education. In our daily life, she can always find problems and then dream them with her imagination, finally narrows down her solutions to solve problems in her own way. During these problem-solving processes, I noticed that she went through sciences, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics in a very natural way. So I would like to say, STEAM is the way we learn and grow ever since we were born. But later at school, we are trained in a way that subjects are completely disconnected. It might take time to change this situation at school, but at home, as parents, we need to realize that children can discover new things by themselves even from young ages, and provide rich learning environment for them and let them "STEAM " themselves in their own way.
