Detection of Distractions in Human Manual Control Tasks Using Machine Learning

Technological devices are ubiquitous, think of for example smartphones and in-vehicle information systems. Both can contribute towards distracted driving where the visual field of the human controller is shifted away from the primary control task. In this paper a neural network model is trained using the InceptionTime architecture and used to...

Numerical Investigation of Floating Wind Turbine Wake Interactions Using LES-AL Technique

Large scale wind farms consisting with floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) will be a solution for offshore wind energy industry to access more wind resources. However, wake structures and wake interactions of FOWTs subject to motions are still not yet been fully understand, especially when they are under turbulent inflow conditions with...

Concurrency Testing of the HotStuff Distributed Consensus Algorithm

Concurrency bugs are easy to introduce but dif- ficult to detect, especially in implementations of distributed algorithms where concurrency non- determinism is an inherent problem. These bugs may only be identified under very specific order- ings of execution events, making them challenging to reproduce. Controlled concurrency testing tech-...

Robust Formation Control against Observation Losses

Distributed formation control has received increasing attention in multiagent systems. Maintaining certain geometry in space is advantageous in many applications such as space interferometry and underwater sensing. At present, there is a variety of distributed solutions for agents to converge to desired formations and track a series of...

Decentralized Collision Avoidance of Multi-Agent Systems in 3-Dimensional Space

Multi-Agent Systems, often referred to a network of loosely connected autonomous units, are widely used to model the dynamics of crowds, vehicles, robots and swarms in traffic management, biological environment, distributed control and communication technologies. Recently, the study of multi-agent systems is rapidly growing due to the beneficial...

Semi-Controllable Compression Schemes for Ultrasound Imaging

The application of Compressive Sampling (CS) in the medical ultrasound has been widely studied in recent years with the growing requirement of reconstructing high-quality images with smaller data size. Most of the current studies with successful CS reconstruction are mainly focusing on the mathematical applications of CS theory in ultrasound...

Load-sensing Based Integrated Chassis Control: Using hierarchical strategy and control allocation

Evolution of new technologies, market preferences and vehicle safety standards and regulations motivate the automotive industry to contribute to higher quality mobility and safer transportation for the society. With the compelling development of electronics over the past few decades, passenger cars are equipped with an increasing number of...

Neck muscle control patterns in 3D isometric experiments

The better understanding of neuromuscular control of the human neck is of critical importance to understand whiplash injury and neurological movement disorders. Isometric experiments using electromyography (EMG) are an appropriate method to study neuromuscular control patterns of neck muscles. As the human head-neck system is highly complex, it...

Specification and Implementation of a DMA Controller in an Embedded System

The fast growing of In-Car entertainment application leads to an increasing challenge for both data computation and data communication, which are managed by the microprocessor. The thesis project is the third stage of a continuous Direct Memory Access(DMA) Controller project in NXP Semiconductors for the purpose of specifying and implementing a...

Optimization: Traffic Control Using Route Information

Optimizing traffic control for a multiple-junction road network is a difficult but important task in traffic system design. A properly designed control strategy with various control measures is effective in handling traffic flows in diverse traffic conditions. Regarding the limits and low performance of existing control system, this paper...
