Lane-following method for high speed autonomous vehicles

This paper presents a steering control method for lane-following in a vehicle using an image sensor. With each image frame acquired from the sensor, the steering control method determines target position and direction, and constructs a travel path from the current position to the target position either as an Arc-path or S-path. The steering angle is calculated from the travel path thus generated, and the vehicle follows the travel path via motor-control. The method was tested using a vehicle dubbed as KAV (Korea Autonomous Vehicle) along an expressway (Seoul Inner Beltway) trajectory with a variety of radii (50 m ∼ 300 m) while traveling at a speed of 60 km/h to 80 km/h. Compared with an experienced human driver, the method showed little much difference in performance in terms of lane-center deviation. The proposed method is currently employed for high speed autonomous driving as well as for stop and go traffic.

低等级公路特长隧道半横向通风应用与探讨——九寨仙境隧道通风设计

双向行车的隧道通风,除了维持洞内空气的卫生标准和规定的视距外,还必须有利于火灾时的排烟和人车避难,这在特长隧道是很困难的。我国已建成的4 km以上的双向行车隧道,均采用有平行导洞的纵向式通风,但此种方式缺点很多。文章吸取了国外经验,提出采用半横向式通风,并对此种通风方式提出了一些改进意见及推导了应用公式。

应用流式细胞术检测17β-雌二醇对H2O2诱导的视网膜神经细胞凋亡的保护作用

目的用流式细胞技术(FACS)检测H2O2诱导的视网膜神经细胞凋亡以及17β-雌二醇(βE2)对细胞的保护作用。方法取新生24 h内的SD大鼠进行视网膜神经细胞的原代培养,待细胞培养4-5 d,经不同因素处理后,用MTT法检测细胞存活率,用FACS法检测细胞凋亡率。结果200μmol/L的H2O2能有效诱导视网膜神经细胞凋亡;低浓度的H2O2不能诱导细胞凋亡,但高浓度的H2O2诱导细胞凋亡的同时也导致了正常细胞比率的锐减;10μmol/L的βE2能有效对抗H2O2诱导的视网膜神经细胞凋亡;低浓度的βE2对细胞未表现出保护作用,高浓度的βE2对细胞反而表现出毒性作用。结论一定浓度的βE2在一定范围内能对抗H2O2诱导的视网膜神经细胞凋亡,表现对神经细胞保护的作用。     

Sliding window method for vehicles moving on a long track

The rail is modelled as a simply supported beam in the vehicle–track coupled dynamics. The beam is formulated by a partial differential equation that is transformed into an ordinary differential equation by the method of mode superposition for numerical calculation. However, the size of the matrix that is formed by the mode-superposition method increases significantly with track length, which limits the calculation efficiency. Some methods have been developed to solve this calculation issue, but they diminish the merits of the vehicle–track coupled dynamics, which would systematically investigate the dynamics of a vehicle and a track from the entire vehicle–track system. A new method is developed to resolve this contradiction. First, a theory based on a sliding window is established to improve the computational stability with respect to the length and the window-movement ratio. Then, two methods, namely finite element method analysis and an analytical solution, are used to verify the accuracy of the new method, which is highly efficient when used in a vertical half-vehicle–track coupled model to calculate the vehicle response when the vehicle moves on a long track. The results of the vehicle response calculated with and without the sliding window show good consistency.     

Gasket life criteria at low temperatures adopting proportional compensation for loss of flexibility and conformability

In the automobile industry, the service life of gaskets is defined as the time until which a released gasket recovers 60 % of the original compression. It was observed that the recovery curves of gaskets were highly nonlinear at high temperatures, and relatively nonlinear at temperatures above the room temperature. However, it was also noted that the recovery curves of the gaskets at temperatures below room temperature exhibited linearity with respect to the ln(time). Automotive manufacturers demand gasket life criteria that exceed a specific time or the entire life of a car. In the case of gaskets used at lower temperatures, since materials encounter losses in its flexibility and conformability, the definition of service life specifying a 60 % recovery may not be sufficiently safe to eliminate possible leakages. In this study, new gasket life criteria that could be used at low temperatures were proposed. The new criteria were proposed based on the change in Young’s modulus of the gasket material in order to conserve the sealing capability.

BP神经网络在解决电力消耗问题中的应用

由于BP神经网络在解决非线性复杂系统中存在很大的优势,以江西省1991—2011年人口、经济和耗电量等数据为研究对象,利用BP神经网络构建耗电量预测模型。模型一利用1991—2009年人口、经济和耗电量等数据作为训练样本,以2010—2011年作为测试样本来验证网络的准确性,再根据历史人口、经济等数据来预测历史耗电量;模型二采用传统的多元回归分析法,对非线性多元函数进行多元线性回归,通过回归模型得到的参数来预测耗电量。结果表明,模型一收敛性较好,所得预测结果绝对误差较小,而模型二传统方法得到的预测结果误差较大,因此,利用BP神经网络预测的结果具有非常大的参考价值,证明BP神经网络应用在电力消耗中的应用是可行的。
