To be realistic, an urban model must include appropriate numbers of pedestrians, vehicles, and other dynamic entities. Using a parallel-computing architecture, researchers simulated a marathon with more than a million participants. To simulate participant behavior, they used fuzzy logic on a GPU to perform millions of inferences in real time.

Optimum design of a fuel-cell powertrain based on multiple design criteria
Sarioglu, Ismail Levent; Czapnik, Bartosch; Bostancı, Emine; Klein, Olaf P.; Schröder, Hendrik; Küçükay, Ferit (2014-11-15)
As the number of fuel-cell vehicles on the roads increase, the vehicle designs are gaining more importance. Clearly, one major topic in this field is the optimization of powertrain designs. In this design process, the aim of the car manufacturers is to meet the expectations of the potential customer best, while creating a sustainable product. However, due to several trade-offs in the design, it would be non-realistic to expect a single solution that fulfills all design objectives. Therefore, a systematical ...
An Adaptive Approach for Road Boundary Detection Using 2D LIDAR Sensor
Demir, S. O.; Ertop, T. E.; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2017-11-18)
Robotic ground vehicles are commonly used in various road conditions for performing special tasks with different levels of autonomy. This requires the robots to possess a certain degree of perception about the road conditions up ahead and make plans accordingly. It is essential for the robots to be able to quickly adapt their perception for various road conditions they operate. In this paper, an adaptive method for road boundary extraction using 2D LIDAR sensor is presented. A three-stage detection algorith...
Characterization of Driver Neuromuscular Dynamics for Human-Automation Collaboration Design of Automated Vehicles
Lv, Chen; Wang, Huaji; Cao, Dongpu; Zhao, Yifan; Auger, Daniel J.; Sullman, Mark; Matthias, Rebecca; Skrypchuk, Lee; Mouzakitis, Alexandros (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-12-01)
In order to design an advanced human-automation collaboration system for highly automated vehicles, research into the driver's neuromuscular dynamics is needed. In this paper, a dynamic model of drivers' neuromuscular interaction with a steering wheel is first established. The transfer function and the natural frequency of the systems are analyzed. In order to identify the key parameters of the driver-steering-wheel interacting system and investigate the system properties under different situations, experim...
An Approach for System Identification in Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Erunsal, Izzet Kagan; Ahiska, Kenan; Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2017-10-21)
In this study, a system identification methodology is introduced to determine the model parameters of unmanned surface vehicles. The proposed identification scheme is based on sequencing the experiments according to their capabilities to identify the model parameters. In each experiment, the parameters to be found are updated and the results are validated before ascertaining the final value. A procedure to complete the identification work in an experiment, namely the required post-processing, the optimizati...
Solving the area coverage problem with UAVs: A vehicle routing with time windows variation
Semiz, Fatih; Polat, Faruk (Elsevier BV, 2020-4)
In real life, providing security for a set of large areas by covering the area with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is a difficult problem that consist of multiple objectives. These difficulties are even greater if the area coverage must continue throughout a specific time window. We address this by considering a Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) variation in which capacity of agents is one and each customer (target area) must be supplied with more than one vehicles simultaneously without v...
