Design of emergency braking algorithm for pedestrian protection based on multi-sensor fusion

Globally, safety has become an increasingly important issue in the automotive industry. In an attempt to reduce traffic fatalities, UNECE launched a new EU Road Safety Program which aims to decrease the number of road deaths by half by 2020. AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) is a very effective active safety system intended to reduce fatalities. This study involves the design of a multi-sensor data fusion strategy and decision-making algorithm for AEB pedestrian. Possible collision avoidance scenarios according to the EuroNCAP protocol are analyzed and a robust pedestrian tracking strategy is proposed. The performance of the AEB system is enhanced by using a braking model to predict the collision avoidance time and by designing the system activation zone according to the relative speed and possible distance required to stop for pedestrians. The AEB activation threshold requires careful consideration. The test results confirm the advantages of the proposed algorithm, the performance of which is described in this paper.     

Development of algorithms for commercial vehicle mass and road grade estimation

Estimation algorithms for road slope angle and vehicle mass are presented for commercial vehicles. It is well known that vehicle weight and road grade significantly affect the longitudinal motion of a commercial vehicle. However, it is very difficult to measure the weight and road slope angle in real time because of lack of sensor technology. In addition, the total weight of a commercial vehicles varies depending on the freight. In this study, the road grade and vehicle mass estimation algorithms are proposed using the RLS (Recursive Least Square) method and only the in-vehicle sensors. The proposed algorithms are verified in experiments using a commercial vehicle under various conditions.     

Analytical description of ride comfort and optimal damping of cushion-suspension for wheel-drive electric vehicles

To provide initial design values of seat cushion and chassis suspension damping for wheel-drive electric vehicles (WDEVs), this paper presents an analytical estimation method and a practical damping parameters design method. Firstly, two formulae of the human body vertical acceleration in terms of the power spectrum density (PSD) and the root mean square (RMS) are deduced for WDEVs. Then, the coupling effects of the key vehicle parameters on ride comfort are revealed. Finally, with a practical example, the damping parameters of the cushion and the suspension are initially designed and analyzed. The results show that when every 10.0 kg increases for motor mass, the optimal damping values of the cushion and the suspension should be reduced by about 15.0 Ns/m and 50.0 Ns/m, respectively. However, the RMS acceleration increases 0.017 m/s² with a decrease of 2.5 % for ride comfort.     

列车进路数据表自动生成算法设计

传统的列车进路数据表的编制方法,是参照CTCS．3级列控工程数据编制规则,手工填写生成的。然而人工制作和校核列车进路数据表是一件非常麻烦的事情,既费时又费力,而且一旦线路数据量增大,特别容易出错。在此背景下,提出设计一个智能软件,该软件可以根据设计单位所提供的基础资料,自动生成列车进路数据表。从而取代了传统的人工编制列车进路数据表的方法,极大地减少了人工劳动,制作列车进路数据表的效率及其准确性都得到很大的提高。

公路工程实施阶段的定额管理探讨

随着我国经济体制的发展和变革,由于预算定额不能满足施工生产和施工单位没有建立真正的企业定额等原因,导致公路工程实施阶段出现了计价定额空缺的情况。在分析现有定额管理制度对数据真实性的影响和缺乏统一的清单工料机消耗量标准对定额管理的影响后,提出要采用各种手段充分调动施工、设计、咨询等各单位测定定额的积极性,通过强力推行《公路工程工程量清单计量计价规则》,利用计算机和互联网搭建造价基础数据的管理平台,建立和发布基于《规则》的工程实体性工料机消耗量标准的建议。
