Wave propagation experiences extra loss in curved tunnels, which is highly desired for network planning. Extensive narrow-band propagation measurements are made in two types of Madrid subway tunnels (different cross sections and curvatures) with various configurations (different frequencies and polarizations). A ray tracer validated by the straight and curved parts of the measuring tunnels is empl... View full abstract»

In this paper, we study the statistics of phase processes and random frequency modulation (FM) noise encountered in double Rayleigh fading channels. The Rayleigh processes making up the double Rayleigh channel are assumed to be independent but not necessarily identically distributed. The Doppler power spectral densities of these processes are supposed to be symmetric about the carrier frequency. U... View full abstract»

This paper proposes a new efficient path-planning algorithm for articulated steering vehicles operating in semi-structured environments, in which obstacles are detected online by the vehicle's sensors. The first step of the algorithm is offline and computes a finite set of feasible motions that connect discrete robot states to construct a search space. The motion primitives are parameterized using... View full abstract»

This paper investigates the clutch control problem for automotive transmission systems. This paper focuses on the pressure tracking control for a wet clutch, which has a much shorter stroke and asks for a more precise position and pressure regulation. The system dynamics are highly nonlinear, and the developed model includes unmodeled dynamics and parameter uncertainties. All these factors will in... View full abstract»

• ### Worst-Case Analysis of Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):1899 - 1911
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (1537 KB) | HTML

Automotive collision avoidance (CA) systems help drivers to avoid collisions through autonomous interventions by braking or steering. If the decision to intervene is made too early, the intervention can become a nuisance to the driver, and if the decision is made too late, the safety benefits of the intervention will be reduced. The decision to intervene is commonly based on a threat function. The... View full abstract»

• ### Optimal Input Design for Fault Identification of Overactuated Electric Ground Vehicles

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):1912 - 1923
| | PDF (1659 KB) | HTML

The design of optimal input for fault identification in electric ground vehicles (EGVs) that use four independent in-wheel motors and four-wheel steering is presented in this paper. As the number of motors and steering actuators increases beyond the number of controlled variables, an EGV becomes an overactuated system, which provides actuator redundancy and the possibility of fault-tolerant contro...

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):1948 - 1956
Cited by:  Papers (3)
| | PDF (1189 KB) | HTML

This paper proposes a novel double-grid-frequency-ripple-reducing technique for electric vehicle (EV) battery charger applications. In 1-φ EV battery chargers, due to double-frequency ripple, it is not possible to control the current using a single-power-stage approach. Hence, a two-stage approach is used. However, a bulky inductor and a capacitor are required to control the current, which ... View full abstract»

In this paper, we consider the resource-allocation problem for energy efficiency (EE)-spectral efficiency (SE) tradeoff. Unlike traditional research that uses the EE as an objective function and imposes constraints either on the SE or on the achievable rate, we propound a multiobjective optimization approach that can flexibly switch between the EE and SE functions or change the priority level of e...

| | PDF (1084 KB) | HTML

Energy harvesting makes use of energy from the environment. However, since harvesting energy depends on natural conditions, it is not a stable energy source. As a result, the energy from the power grid is often included to serve as a supplementary source to regulate the overall energy supply of the system. Further, the power from the power grid is often subject to the constraints of peak power and... View full abstract»

Cognitive radio allows secondary users (SUs) to exploit the underutilized radio spectrum of the primary networks. To fully utilize the primary spectrum and maximize spectral efficiency, overlay and underlay transmissions, which exploit the white and gray spaces, respectively, should be used together. However, for underlay, the SUs need to transmit at low power to avoid causing harmful interference... View full abstract»
