A Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Radar-Based Rider Assistance System for Personal Light Electric Vehicles

2023-01-504007/06/2023

The use of personal light electric vehicles (PLEVs), such as electric scooters, has rapidly increased in recent years. However, their widespread use has raised concerns about rider safety due to their vulnerability in shared traffic spaces. To address this issue, this paper presents a radar-based rider assistance system aimed at enhancing the safety of PLEV riders. The system consists of an adaptive feedback system and a single-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS). The adaptive feedback system uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar sensors to detect nearby objects and provide real-time warnings to the rider through haptic, visual, and acoustic signals. The system takes into account traffic density and uses online data to warn about obscured objects, thereby improving the rider’s situational awareness. Results from testing the feedback system show that it effectively detects potential collisions and provides warning signals, reducing the risk of accidents. The ABS is

Deere advances in-field autonomy

22TOFHP08_0108/01/2022

While stereo cameras and computer vision guide Deere's “limited release” 8R autonomous tractor, Bear Flag's lidar tech will augment future machines. Q&A with Deere's Joe Liefer John Deere got “really serious” about autonomy in 2019, according to Joe Liefer, senior product manager of autonomy at John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group. Three years later - after forming an in-house development team and acquiring some tech-startup expertise - the machinery maker revealed a fully autonomous tractor at CES 2022 that it claims is ready for large-scale production. Based on Deere's 8R tractor, the machine combines a TruSet-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance system, advanced AI and six pairs of stereo cameras that enable 360-degree obstacle detection and distance calculation. The autonomous 8R tractor also continuously checks its position relative to a geofence and is accurate to within less than 1 inch (25 mm), Deere claims. Farmers monitor and control it from a smartphone app.

Traceability Verification with respect to DO-178 and AS 9115

2022-26-120005/26/2022

As many business analysts say, following Aerospace guideline DO-178 for developing aerospace software products is not cheap and it comes with a cost. That too, experts say DO-178C can increase the cost of the product above DO-178B, which already increased costs by around 20-40%. So, to keep the cost under control, it is definitely important that we need to develop the software product by following various technical methodology and processes rigorously. DO-178 relies upon significant verification (reviews, tests, and analysis) to assess product quality. However, product quality comes from a quality process, design, and implementation, not just from testing. Performing Traceability verification is one such approach to determine if the requirements are correctly and completely captured, designed, implemented and verified. In this paper we discuss the various phases of the project lifecycle where the Traceability verification needs to be performed. These Traceability verifications are a

Software Test-in-Production framework on a microcontroller environment

2022-01-011703/29/2022

In-vehicle software is rapidly growing to meet the demands of newer features and high-variability of real-world scenarios, which leads to a costly and lengthy software validation process. This growth is resulting from consumer expectations of new vehicle features and OEM competition to release these features bug free and on time. As a result, the software time-to-market becomes very short requiring new software features to be developed and validated much faster than in the past. While traditional validation methods and modern virtual validation environments can cover testing up to a particular level, it is challenging to cover certain real-world scenarios. The current approach to covering these scenarios often relies on data collected from long vehicle test trips that contribute to the validation cost and time. In this paper, a new validation method is discussed which utilizes high volumes of production vehicles to validate features in real-world scenarios. We will discuss the

A Comparison of Luminance Estimation Software to Measured Values

2022-01-096603/29/2022

Mapping the luminance values of a visual scene is of broad interest to accident reconstructionists, human factors professionals, and lighting experts. Previous work has shown that pixel intensity captured by consumer-grade digital still cameras can be calibrated to estimate luminance. Suway and Suway presented a methodology for estimating luminance from digital images and video of a scene. This method requires the capture of dark images close in time to the capture of the image that will be used to estimate luminance. Additionally, Suway’s method requires the specific camera and lens combination used to be calibrated for luminance estimation. The methodology presented by Suway forms the basis for a software application, called Nitere, that calculates the relationship between pixel intensity and luminance for a camera lens combination and can therefore estimate real-world luminance values from pixel intensity for a properly calibrated camera and lens combination. In this paper, the

Synthetic LiDAR Point Cloud Data Generation Tool and Deep Learning Validation

2022-01-017703/29/2022

LiDAR sensors are set to become common in automated driving due to their high accuracy. However, LiDAR processing algorithm development suffers from lack of training data, partly due to the sensors' high cost. The few public datasets (e.g. KITTI) offer poor coverage of edge case scenarios, whereas these are essential to address to support safe self-driving. We address the unmet need for abundant, high-quality LiDAR data with the development of an artificial LiDAR point cloud generation tool and validate this tool's performance against the PIXOR model, which was trained on the KITTI dataset. The tool makes use of a single camera raycasting process to generate synthetic data and is used in conjunction with filtering techniques to create segmented and filtered object class-specific datasets . The tool has the potential to support the low-cost generation of accurate bulk data in support of training advanced self-driving algorithms, with configurability to simulate commercial and yet-to-be
