There are levels of automation in autonomous driving, and each level requires different performances of wireless communication, such as quality, delay time, and throughput. Therefore, the vehicle is required to adaptively control the level of automation when the performance of the wireless communication changes. In particular, it is essential to have a sufficient in-advance time for changing the level of automation. To ensure this time, an in-advance quality of service notification (IQN) has been considered in the fifth-generation mobile communications system (5G) standardization groups, in which predictive information about the quality of service is provided to vehicles from base stations. However, any specific utilizations of IQN for quality enhancement of wireless transmission were not considered. Therefore, in this study, we assume IQN as a prediction of throughput value and propose an improvement scheme for the uplink vehicle-to-network communication by distributing the traffic load and reducing the congestion of base stations. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is evaluated via the summation of transmitted bits and counts when the target base stations connected by the target vehicles are fully loaded. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme realizes the reduction of network congestion without degrading the throughput performances of the vehicles.

In the literature the value of the driver’s head acceleration has been widely used as an objective function for the modification of the suspension and/or the seat characteristics in order to optimize the ride comfort of a vehicle. For these optimization procedures various lumped parameter Vehicle–Seat–Human models are proposed. In the present paper a Quarter Car model is integrated with three Seat–Human models with different levels of detail. The level of detail corresponds to the number of degrees of freedom used to describe the Seat–Human system. Firstly, the performance of the Quarter Car model, used as a basis, is analyzed in six excitations with different characteristics. Then, the performance of the three lumped parameter Vehicle–Seat–Human models are monitored in the same excitations. The results indicated that in the case of single disturbance excitations the Quarter Car model provided 50–75% higher values of acceleration compared with the eight degrees of freedom model. As far as the periodic excitation is concerned, the Vehicle–Seat–Human models provided values of acceleration up to eight times those of the Quarter Car model. On the other hand, in stochastic excitations the Vehicle–Seat–Human model with three degrees of freedom produced the closest results to the Quarter Car model followed by the eight degrees of freedom model. Finally, with respect to the computational efficiency it was found that an increase in the degrees of freedom of the Vehicle–Seat–Human model by one caused an increase in the CPU time from 2.1 to 2.6%, while increasing the number of the degrees of freedom by five increased the CPU time from 7.4 to 11.5% depending on the excitation.

With the emergence of connected vehicle data and high-resolution weather data, there is an opportunity to develop models with high spatial-temporal fidelity to characterize the impact of weather on interstate traffic speeds. In this study, 275,422 trip records from 41,234 unique journeys on 42 rainy days in 2021 and 2022 were obtained. These trip records are categorized as no rain, slight rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, and very heavy rain periods using the precipitation rate from NOAA High-Resolution Rapid-Refresh (HRRR) data. It was observed that average speeds decreased by approximately 8.4% during conditions classified as very heavy rain compared to no rain. Similarly, the interquartile range of traffic speeds increased from 8.34 mph to 12.24 mph as the rain intensity increased. This study also developed a disaggregate approach using logit models to characterize the relationship between weather-related variables (precipitation rate, visibility, temperature, wind, and day or night) and interstate speed reductions. Estimation results reveal that the odds ratio of reducing speed is 5.8% higher for drivers if the precipitation rate is increased by 1 mm/h. The headwind was found to have a positive significant impact of only up to a 10% speed reduction, and speed reduction is greater during nighttime conditions compared to daytime conditions by a factor of 1.68. The additional explanatory variables shed light on drivers’ speed selection in adverse weather environments, providing more information than the single precipitation intensity measure. Results from this study will be particularly helpful for agencies and automobile manufacturers to provide advance warnings to drivers and establish thresholds for autonomous vehicle control.

Teaching kinematic rotations is a daunting task for even some of the most advanced mathematical minds. However, changing the paradigm can highly simplify envisioning and explaining the three-dimensional rotations. This paradigm change allows a high school student with an understanding of geometry to develop the matrix and explain the rotations at a collegiate level. The proposed method includes the assumption of a point (P) within the initial three-dimensional frame with axes (x^i, y^i, z^i). The method then utilizes a two-dimensional rotation view (2DRV) to measure how the coordinates of point P translate after a rotation around the initial axis. The equations are used in matrix notation to develop a rotation matrix for follow-on direction cosine matrixes. The method removes the requirement to use Euler’s formula, ultimately, providing a high school student with an elementary and repeatable process to compose and explain kinematic rotations, which are critical to attitude direction control systems commonly found in vehicles.

In this work, a simulation framework for virtual testing of autonomous driving functions under the influence of a fault occurring in a component is presented. The models consist of trajectory planning, motion control, models of actuator management, actuators and vehicle dynamics. Fault-handling tests in a right-turn maneuver are described, subject to an injected fault in the steering system. Different scenarios are discussed without and with a fault and without and with counteractions against the fault. The results of five scenarios for different criticality metrics are discussed. In the case of a fault without a counteraction, a pronounced lateral position deviation of the ego vehicle from the reference curve is observed. Furthermore, the minimal and hence most critical time-to-collision (TTC) and post-encroachment time (PET) values are calculated for each scenario together with a parameter variation of the initial position of a traffic agent. The minimum TTC values are lowest in the case of a fault without counteraction. For the lateral position deviation and the TTC, the counteractions cause reduced criticality that can become even lower than in the case without a fault, corresponding to a decrease in the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. For the PET, only in the case of a fault without counteraction, a non-zero value can be calculated. With the implemented testing toolchain, the automated vehicle and the reaction of the HAD function in non-standard conditions with reduced performance can be investigated. This can be used to test the influence of component faults on automated driving functions and help increase acceptance of implemented counteractions as part of the HAD function. The assessment of the situation using a combination of metrics is shown to be useful, as the different metrics can become critical in different situations.

In the European Union (EU), road transport contributes a major proportion of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, of which a significant amount is caused by heavy-duty commercial vehicles (CV). The increasing number of emission regulations and penalties by the EU have forced commercial vehicle manufacturers to investigate powertrain technologies other than conventional internal combustion engines (ICE). Since vehicle economics plays an important role in purchase decisions and the powertrain of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) contributes to about 8–20% of the total vehicle cost and the electric machine (EM) alone contributes to 33–43% of the drivetrain cost, it is necessary to analyze suitable EM topologies for the powertrain. In this paper, the authors aim to analyze the technical and cost aspects of an EM for electric commercial vehicles (ECV). Based on prior research and literature on this subject, an appropriate methodology for selecting suitable geometrical parameters of an e-machine for the use case of a heavy-duty vehicle is developed using MATLAB and Simulink tools. Then, for the economic analysis of the e-machine, reference ones are used, and their design parameters and cost structures are utilized to develop a cost function. Different use cases are evaluated according to the vehicle’s application. The results for a use case are compared by varying the design parameters to find the most cost-effective EM. Later, an analysis is performed on other decisive factors for EM selection. This highlights the importance of collaborative consideration of technological as well as the economic aspects of EMs for different use cases in ECVs. The method developed in this work contributes to understand the economic aspect of EMs as well as considering their performance factors. State-of-the-art methods and research are used to develop a novel methodology that helps with the selection of the initial geometry of the electric motor during the design process, which can serve to aid future designers and converters of electric heavy-duty vehicles.

This paper proposes a simple and small-dimensioned antenna that can provide X band and Ku band for the low-earth-orbiting (LEO) satellite system in an Internet of vehicles system. The antenna is designed on the substrate Arlon DiClad 880. The antenna structure consists of an inverted triangle geometry and an inverted U-shaped slot. The dimensions of the antenna are 12.5 × 5 mm2, and the area of the substrate is 30 × 13 × 0.254 mm3. The antenna is easy to make, and the manufacturing cost is low. The measurement results of the reflection coefficient (lower than −10 dB) of the antenna show that the working frequency band can cover the X-band (10.87–12.76 GHz) and the Ku band (15.19–16.02 GHz). The measured and simulated results are fairly similar. The efficiency of the antenna in the X-band is about 50–80.8%. The efficiency of the antenna in the Ku-band is about 50–74%. The gains of the antennas are about 3.34–6.08 dBi and 3.50–4.65 dBi in the X-band and Ku band, respectively, and the highest gain is 6.08 dBi. The antenna design can realize the features of low cost and small dimensions in autonomous vehicles and vehicle networking communication system equipment and achieve good wireless transmission capabilities from vehicles to the base station in the IOV.

Inspired by the difference in the friction radii of the pads from the high-speed train brake system, stick–slip experiments for a disc–block friction system with different friction radii were carried out via a test device. Based on the test results, the stick–slip vibration characteristics of the disc–block friction system with variation in the friction radius were analyzed, and the corresponding Stribeck model parameters in exponential and fractional forms were identified. The experimental results show that with an increase in the friction radius the vibration amplitude first increased and then decreased and the frequency of stick–slip vibration increased. The identified Stribeck model parameters show that the decay factors increased, the static friction coefficient decreased, and the dynamic friction coefficient decreased first and then increased as the friction radius increased. Moreover, the identified Stribeck model in an exponential form can more accurately reflect the stick–slip characteristics of a disc–block friction system than the model in a fractional form. It can be further applied in the investigation of the dynamic behaviors of high-speed train brake systems.

Emerging forms of shared mobility call for new vehicle routing models that take into account vehicle sharing, ride sharing and autonomous vehicle fleets. This study deals with the design of an optimal route network for autonomous vehicles, considering both vehicle sharing and ride sharing. The problem is modeled as a one-to-many-to-one vehicle routing problem with vehicle capacity and range constraints. An ant colony optimization algorithm is applied to the problem in order to construct a set of routes that satisfies user requests under operational constraints. Results show that the algorithm is able to produce solutions in relatively short computational times, while exploiting the possibility of ride sharing to reduce operating costs. Results also underline the potential of exploiting shared autonomous vehicles in the context of a taxi service for booking trips through electronic reservation systems.
