This paper proposes a novel self-calibration method for getting the extrinsic parameters of the camera on the autonomous vehicle. Basing on the model of the highway and the extrinsic parameters of the camera, the lane marking can be described parametrically in the vehicle coordinate system. The position and headings of the vehicle can be measured by itself in real time. Thus the Extended Kalman Filter can be applied to the kinematical model of the vehicle. By this means, it is possible to refine the original rough extrinsic parameters of the camera with an iterative way. Experiment results show that this method has a good performance in the structural scenery on highway.

This paper presents the road traffic signs detection and classification methods in vision-based robot guidance system that are applied for small navigation vehicle control system which can have two main roles that first for traffic signs detection and next for signs classification. Traffic signs recognition is a less studied field even though it provided road users with very valuable information about the road profiles in order to make running safer and easier. The algorithm are described in this paper take an advantage of sign features that their color and shapes are very different from natural environments. The systems are divided into three parts, first for detected and improved the quality of raw sign image. Second part for shape analysis with a continuous thinning algorithm and image encoding method, finally for the image recognition and decision by Fuzzy-Neural technique based on Back propagation Neural Network (BNN) model to display the right task. Some results from room experimental are shown here that show the system performance can work well but in real environmental scenes are valid to detect other kinds of signs that would train the mobile robot to perform some task at that place.

According to the model of vehicle suspension, a novel fuzzy control method based on adaptive technology' is applied to active control of automotive suspension system. An analytic fuzzy control algorithm is advanced in order to improve the riding comfort and handling safety of automotive. Because the algorithm can adjust the rectification factor of fuzzy controller, it not only can reflect the advantage of fuzzy logic in nonlinearity system but also can improve the disadvantage of common fuzzy control method strongly depending on the experience. For the sprung mass acceleration, the dynamic tyre load and the dynamic deflection of suspension system, the simulation results show that the analytic fuzzy control strategy has obvious effect on the vibration control of automotive suspension system.

In this paper, a mode matching control loop is suggested for the matching of the resonant frequency of the sensing mode with that of the driving mode. Matching of two modes is critical issue of the MEMS vibratory gyroscope to achieve the high sensitivity of the sensor. A new mode matching control loop using the concept of phase locked loop (PLL) is proposed and analyzed. Through the computer simulation using MATLAB and experiments using a real MEMS gyroscope, it is verified that the proposed control loop design matches those two modes and correspondingly improves the sensitivity of a gyroscope.

The yaw stability of a vehicle is crucial to vehicle safety in steering manoeuvres. In this paper, a fuzzy-logic controller is designed for improving vehicle yaw stability by corrective yaw moment generated from differential braking so that the yaw rate and body sideslip angle can trace their desired values. An 8-DOF vehicle model with nonlinear tire characteristic is developed to capture the vehicle longitudinal, lateral, yaw and roll motion, and four wheel rotation motion. The body sideslip angle is estimated by a 3-DOF vehicle model. Simulations of J-turn and lane change are carried out and the simulation results show the effectiveness of the fuzzy-logic controller for improving vehicle yaw stability.

The performance of the GPS based vehicle navigation will be degraded in the attenuated signal environments and reflected conditions. In this paper two types of sensor fusions are proposed to improve the reliability of GPS navigation in such environments: (1) the integration of GPS with other GNSS, including GLONASS and GALILEO, and (2) the integration of GPS with low-cost INS. Numerical results demonstrate that both methods will significantly improve the robustness and accuracy when the number of tracked GPS satellite is insufficient to generate reliable results.

Driver fatigue is an important factor causing serious traffic accidents and often results in many people deaths or injuries. Therefore, many countries have made great effort on how to detect driver fatigue. This paper presents a new approach to detect driver fatigue based on discrete wavelet transform which has been used to extract the key features for constructing the classifier to identify driver fatigue. . The analyzed data are obtained from experiments using driving simulator. The result proves the algorithm is valid.

In this paper, we present a novel approach for self-sustained resonant accelerometer design, which takes advantages of an automatic gain control to implement a uniform oscillation dynamics. For the system modeling and loop transformation, an envelope based state space approach is taken. The paper also presents the application of the designed accelerometer for an integrated gyroscope and accelerometer system with an orthogonal input axis to each other. The integrated system uses of a single micromachined mechanical structure as moving mass and the associated vibration control loops for each sensing axis, respectively.
