This paper focuses on developing a Low Cost IMU integrated with GPS for vehicle state estimation. Knowledge of vehicle states can help design control systems which take these states as an input. Techn....
Emerging heavy duty vehicle control systems increasingly rely on advance knowledge of the road topography, described by the longitudinal road grade. Highway road grade profiles are restricted by road ....
Southwest Research Institute developed an Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV) capable of navigating in urban environments. The paper first gives an overview of hardware and software onboard the vehicle. T....
When vehicles share certain information wirelessly via Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), they enable a new layer of electronic vehicle safety that, when needed, can generate warnings to dri....
Cooperative vehicle safety can help prevent vehicle collisions by providing timely warnings to the driver or initiating automatic preventive actions based on vehicle dynamics information exchanged bet....
Human cognitive and physiological performance tends to enfeeble during time. Evidently a distinct attenuation of reaction-times spatial and situational awareness appears in the older segments of the d....
This paper focuses on the problem of path following in autonomous vehicles. A solution to this problem is a strategy during which a feedback/feed-forward control law is considered to control the path ....
A vehicle's safety system capability can be enhanced by a cooperative Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) system in which vehicles communicate their driving status data, such as location and speed, using a commo....
The multiple electronic systems in a modern chassis must be functionally integrated not only to take full advantage of their capabilities but also to avoid an inconsistent behavior in different drivin....
With the current concerns over vehicle emissions, oil availability and pricing there is a lot of interest in environmentally friendly vehicles such as electric and hybrid electric as ways of reducing ....
We have developed a built-in vital sign sensor, which allows drivers to noninvasively measure their heartbeat and pulse wave just by gripping the steering wheel in the usual manner. Unlike conventiona....
