Driving simulators are used to analyze and validate the driver's behavior. These simulators are an essential tool in the research of human factor related to car driving. Advantages of using a driving simulator are safety (there are no traffic accidents during driving) and simple collecting of data related to the driver's behavior. The goal of this paper is development of an interactive driving simulator capable of simulating and testing driver's behavior based on lane changing with selected traffic conditions. The overall system is controlled and supervised using the Finite State Machine modeling approach realized in C# programming language, data input/output processing is implemented using the microcontroller user-based interface as well as the virtual driving scenarios is created using Microsoft XNA platform. The usage of video game technology is a central design principle of virtual driving scenarios. The concept of driver physical reaction testing using the software simulator based on configurable parameters is presented too.

The paper considers the possibilities of designing and implementing works' on port safety system for the needs of the developing Port of Bar in Montenegro which functions for decades in the transitional environment. On the basis of the secondary literature resources review - an RFID (radio frequency identification) safety model which includes PPE (personal protective equipment) garments equipped with active/passive RFID devices has been proposed. Some ready-made solutions of this kind are also suggested to the management of the Port of Bar. Additionally, the outsourcing model which seems the most appropriate one in this context is proposed along with the directions for further research in this field.

The aim of this paper is to propose a complementary Health Management module to monitor the GPS accuracy for autonomous vehicles. Based on sensor information, the error causes of GPS can be observed in some specific contexts (urban, climate...). The proposed module relies on a Bayesian Network model that allows to reinforce the belief of GPS failure based on evidence. A hardware/software implementation of the Health Management module is also proposed for real-time and on-line purposes on an embedded platform.

In this paper we propose a very simple but powerful self-correction method for the UMP-APP decoding of LDPC codes. Like self-corrected min-sum decoding, our method does not try to correct the check node processing approximation, but it modifies the variable node processing by erasing unreliable messages. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed self-corrected UMP-APP decoding performs better then common UMP-APP decoding. Estimation of the complexity and average number of iteration for self-corrected UMP-APP algorithm are also shown.

Smart systems are utilized in ports to provide safe handling of container carriers. A docking system, enabling very precise measurement of distance from vessel to quay aims to provide safe berthing. Such a system, supported by piloting functions (navigational chart and others) provides independent and reliable navigational information, reducing the amount of time spent on the procedure and eliminating uncertainties that could otherwise lead to accidents or incidents-at the very least delays. The increase in container throughput at Koper was made possible by extensive dredging activities and a pier extension. These activities have lengthened the container terminal so that it is now possible to berth a large mother vessel. To assure safe navigation through the narrow and bending channel, a laser-ranging system has been implemented. When a large container vessel is positioning alongside a quay where inadequate fenders are in place and Ship-to-shore (STS) cranes are close to the approaching ship, special care is required and parameters such as precise vessel position, transversal speed, and vessel-approaching angle are of great importance. To provide the information in real time, a laser docking system has been developed and integrated with metocean data. This paper will present the layout of the system and the first results related to the observed docking of large container vessels calling at the Port of Koper.
