MOHA: A Multi-Mode Hybrid Automaton Model for Learning Car-Following Behaviors

This paper proposes a novel hybrid model for learning discrete and continuous dynamics of car-following behaviors. Multiple modes representing driving patterns are identified by partitioning the model into groups of states. The model is visualizable and interpretable for car-following behavior recognition, traffic simulation, and human-like...

Mapping surface deformation and thermal dilation of arch bridges by structure-driven multi-temporal DInSAR analysis

Arch bridges are important transportation infrastructures widely distributed in China, but they are prone to structural defects due to aging without routine inspection and maintenance. Therefore, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of these bridges is urgently needed by civil engineers to effectively reduce the risk of bridge damage or...

Spatio-temporal characterization of a reclamation settlement in the Shanghai coastal area with time series analyses of X-, C-, and L-band SAR datasets

Large-scale reclamation projects during the past decades have been recognized as one of the driving factors behind land subsidence in coastal areas. However, the pattern of temporal evolution in reclamation settlements has rarely been analyzed. In this work, we study the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of Linggang New City (LNC) in Shanghai...

Steering Micro-Robotic Swarm by Dynamic Actuating Fields

We present a general solution for steering microrobotic<br/>swarm by dynamic actuating fields. In our approach, the<br/>motion of micro-robots is controlled by changing the actuating<br/>direction of a field applied to them. The time-series sequence<br/>of actuating field’s directions can be computed automatically.<br/>Given a target position in...
