Inattentive and impaired drivers are a major cause of road accidents. Especially when impaired by drugs, fatigue or physical handicaps, the skill levels, driving habits, capabilities and decisions of a human driver are adversely affected. In such cases, the ability of a driver to safely operate a vehicle may be augmented considerably by well tuned and driver adaptive warning and assistance systems. Data from 105 drivers were collected in the Drive Safe project on an approximately 30 km route containing both city and highway traffic. The data was used to develop methods for determining inattentive/impaired drivers. This paper is on a lane keeping driver assistant system that is activated once such an inattentive/impaired driver who cannot perform a good task of lane keeping by himself is determined. Robust, parameter space based and velocity scheduled control design techniques carried out in the COMES toolbox are used for designing the lane keeping controller. A camera based image processing algorithm for lane detection and tracking is used. The image processing algorithm and the lane keeping assistant control system are evaluated first using offline simulations and then using more realistic, real time hardware-in-the-loop simulations. While a relatively simple linear model is used for lane keeping controller design, evaluation of the designed controller also uses the high fidelity, high order, realistic and nonlinear vehicle model in Carmaker HiL. A PC is used for processing video frames coming from an in-vehicle camera pointed towards the road ahead. Lane detection and tracking computations including fitting of composite Bezier curves to curved lanes are carried out in this PC. A dSpace microautobox is available for obtaining the lane data from the PC and the Carmaker vehicle data from the dSpace compact simulator used and calculating the required steering actions and sending them to the Carmaker vehicle model. Offline and real time simulation results demonstrate t

The shape optimization using the multi-objective genetic algorithm and the analysis of the 3-dimensional wings in ground effect has been performed. Unlike an airplane flying out of ground effect, wings in ground effect have to satisfy static height stability to cruise steadily above the ground or water surface. In this study, both aerodynamic performance and static height stability are considered as objectives. Due to the multi-objective optimization, the optimal solutions are not unique but a set of non-dominated potential solutions: Pareto optima. After twenty evolutions, 74 non-dominated Pareto optima can be obtained. Three objectives, lift coefficient, lift-to-drag ratio and static height stability, are strongly tradeoff each other so that the unique and dominate solution is not existed. The Pareto optima obtained in this study are placed on the edge of the objective space. From the analysis of the Pareto optima, static height stability was improved at the lower height and the higher angle of attack. The lift-to-drag ratio increases with the lower height since the pressure on the lower wing surface increases while that on the upper surface remains constant. The influence of the tip vortex reduces as ground approached.

This paper describes automatic evaluation of series-parallel (combined) powertrain models using optimization. The novelty with the approach is the possibility to work with non-transparent industrial vehicle models, hidden for intellectual property reasons. The contribution extends the functionality of a recently developed tool for parallel hybrids, with the ability to operate on combined powertrains. Given the user inputs, which include dynamic vehicle model and driving cycle, the tool first produces a simplified powertrain model in the form of static maps, before dynamic programming is used to find an optimal torque split that minimizes fuel consumption. The main use of the tool is to evaluate the potential of a powertrain configuration. The paper contains an illustration of the tool operation on a non-transparent industrial vehicle model. The only requirement on the model is to provide access to some general variables and that it has a torque split that can be fully controlled.

How to make vision system work robustly under dynamic light conditions is still a challenging research focus in computer/robot vision community. In this paper, a novel camera parameters auto-adjusting technique based on image entropy is proposed. Firstly image entropy is defined and its relationship with camera parameters is verified by experiments. Then how to optimize the camera parameters based on image entropy is proposed to make robot vision adaptive to the different light conditions. The algorithm is tested by using the omnidirectional vision in indoor RoboCup Middle Size League environment and the perspective camera in outdoor ordinary environment, and the results show that the method is effective and color constancy to some extent can be achieved.

A novel direct-drive rotary-linear switched reluctance motor (RLSRM) is proposed. The motor has the advantages of robust mechanical structure, low manufacture cost and capability of operation under hostile environments. Simulation tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) are applied for the verification of motor performance and corresponding experiments are carried out to testify the simulation results. The authors expect that the innovative actuator design can be applied in industrial applications that require both rotary and linear motions.

This paper discusses the design of a controller for teleoperation systems which operate in contact with unknown environments. For this purpose, the controller in the slave part is designed to use a classical controller and a neuro-fuzzy controller. To have a haptic teleoperation, the force feedback from the contact point to the master side is needed. In this study virtual force is fed back to the master instead of the measured contact force and the feedback force is the position error i.e. the difference between the position of master and slave robots. Primary, classical controller was designed for this object, the gains of this controller is obtained by standard genetic algorithm (GA), in offline and optimization method at nominal operating point. In master-slave robot with classical controller, when, robot works in soft or hard environment and the operating point was changed, the obtained controller are not suitable. For this reason, online neuro - fuzzy gain scheduling controller are designed for this system to tune the controller's parameters. The NF trained in offline mode based on GA and in online application tuned the controller based on monitoring of operating point of system. This method makes the system robust to uncertainties such as modeling errors, parameter mismatches and disturbances. The simulation results show the ability of proposed method in compare of other controllers such as Kalman filter.

The identification problem of multivariable output error systems is considered in this paper. By constructing an auxiliary model using available input-output data and by replacing the unknown inner variables in the information vector with the outputs of the auxiliary model, an auxiliary model-based stochastic gradient (AM-SG) identification algorithm is presented. Convergence analysis using the martingale convergence theorem indicates that the parameter estimates given by the AM-SG algorithm converge to their true values. The AM-SG algorithm with a forgetting factor is given to improve its convergence rate. The simulation results confirm the theoretical findings.
