Automated systems present great capabilities with a wide range of options. In this respect, vehicle preferences and factors affecting these preferences are important for the future of automated systems. While automated systems offer varied features and improvements for drivers and general traffic safety, the relationship between drivers' perceptions of traffic systems and driver skills have not been studied. The present study, therefore, focuses on country differences and the relationships between traffic climate and driver skills and their impact on the preferred level of vehicle automation for drivers in Turkey and Sweden. The study was conducted with 318 drivers (age: mean [M] = 22.41, standard deviation [SD] = 2.77) from Turkey and 312 drivers (age: M = 28.80, SD = 8.53) from Sweden in 2020. A questionnaire package asking for demographic information and preferred levels of vehicle automation-Traffic Climate Scale (TCS) and the Driver Skill Inventory (DSI)-was completed. A series of analyses of covariance (ANCOVA), hierarchical regression, and moderated moderation analyses were conducted. Drivers from Turkey preferred higher automation levels than drivers from Sweden. Drivers with higher perceived safety skills, with lower perceived perceptual-motor skills or perceiving the traffic system as more externally demanding preferred higher automation levels. Drivers' automation preferences were affected by various individual and country-level factors. For the first time, drivers' automation preferences were elaborated in relation to traffic climate and driver skills in two countries with different levels of traffic safety. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed in the light of the literature.

MPC-Graph: Nonlinear feedback motion planning using sparse sampling based neighborhood graph Atasoy, Simay; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-1) Robust and safe feedback motion planning and navigation is a critical task for autonomous mobile robotic systems considering the highly dynamic and uncertain nature scenarios of modern applications. For these reasons motion planning and navigation algorithms that have deep roots in feedback control theory has been at the center stage of this domain recently. However, the vast majority of such policies still rely on the idea that a motion planner first generates a set of open-loop possibly time-dependent tra...
Locomotion Gait Optimization For Modular Robots; Coevolving Morphology and Control Pouya, Soha; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Moeckel, Rico; Ijspeert, Auke Jan (2011-01-01) This study aims at providing a control-learning framework capable of generating optimal locomotion patterns for the modular robots. The key ideas are firstly to provide a generic control structure that can be well-adapted for the different morphologies and secondly to exploit and coevolve both morphology and control aspects. A generic framework combining robot morphology, control and environment and on the top of them optimization and evolutionary algorithms are presented. The details of the components and ...
Implementation and Evaluation of Age-Aware Downlink Scheduling Policies in Push-Based and Pull-Based Communication Oğuz, Tahir Kerem; Ceran Arslan, Elif Tuğçe; Uysal, Elif; Girici, Tolga (2022-5-01) As communication systems evolve to better cater to the needs of machine-type applications such as remote monitoring and networked control, advanced perspectives are required for the design of link layer protocols. The age of information (AoI) metric has firmly taken its place in the literature as a metric and tool to measure and control the data freshness demands of various applications. AoI measures the timeliness of transferred information from the point of view of the destination. In this study, we exper...
Locomotion and control of a modular snake like robot Kurtulmuş, Ergin; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the interest for snake like modular robots due to their superior locomotion capabilities in terms of versatility, adaptability and scalability. Passive wheeled planar snake like robots are a major category and they are being actively researched. Due to the nonholonomic constraints imposed on them, certain configurations lead to the singularity which must be avoided at all costs. Furthermore, it is vital to generate a locomotion pattern such that they...
Polymorphic robotic system controlled by an observing camera KOCER, Bilge; YUKSEL, Tugce; YUMER, M. Ersin; Ozen, C. Alper; Yaman, Ulaş (2010-02-28) Polymorphic robotic systems, which are composed of many modular robots that act in coordination to achieve a goal defined on the system level, have been drawing attention of industrial and research communities since they bring additional flexibility in many applications. This paper introduces a new polymorphic robotic system, in which the detection and control of the modules are attained by a stationary observing camera. The modules do not have any sensory equipment for positioning or detecting each other. ...
