Environomic Design of Vehicle Integrated Energy System - Application on a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Energy System

François Maréchal, Zlatina Kirilova Dimitrova

With the increasing trend of mobility of the human population, vehicles have to face the problem of primary energy resources scarcity. The vehicles need higher efficiency and better adaptation to the alternative energy sources. The need to improve the effi ...

Speed Profile Optimization for Vehicles Crossing an Intersection Under a Safety Constraint

Denis Gillet

This paper considers the case of two vehicles crossing an intersection from perpendicular directions. A second-order kinematic model is assumed as well as that initially both vehicles move with their maximum permissible speed. A braking/reaccelerating spee ...

Joint ASV/AUV Range-Based Formation Control: Theory and Experimental Results

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

The use of groups of autonomous marine vehicles has enormous potential in numerous marine applications, perhaps the most relevant of which is the surveying and exploration of the oceans, still widely unknown and misunderstood. In many mission scenarios req ...

Observation of Vehicle Axles Through Pass-by Noise: A Strategy of Microphone Array Design

Jean-Marc Odobez, Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

This paper focuses on road traffic monitoring using sounds and proposes, more specifically, a microphone array design methodology for observing vehicle trajectory from acoustic-based correlation functions. In a former work, authors have shown that combinin ...

Consideration of nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces for dynamic vehicle-bridge interaction in high-speed railways

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Nan Zhang

In this work models with nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces are considered for analysing the dynamic interaction between high speed trains and bridges, in order to study dynamic effects both in the bridge and in the vehicles resulting from the coupling. N ...

Relevance of a complete road surface description in vehicle–bridge interaction dynamics

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

A fully coupled method for reproducing road vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction is presented in which finite element models are used for the structure, multibody dynamics models for the vehicles and interaction is represented by means of a contact with the ...

Autonomous vehicles share information crossing an intersection

Denis Gillet, Laleh Makarem

Autonomous vehicles can react faster than humans, they have more accurate perception and do not get distracted, sleepy or intoxicated. Autonomous vehicles could also increase the capacity of our current roads by allowing cars to be driven more closely to e ...

Information sharing among autonomous vehicles crossing an intersection

Denis Gillet, Laleh Makarem

In this paper we compare the performance of autonomous vehicles at intersections with respect to the type of information shared. For this purpose we consider the cases where vehicles share or not information about their inertia and their intention at the i ...

Micro-simulation Modeling of Coordination of Automated Guided Vehicles at Intersection

Denis Gillet, André-Gilles Dumont, Laleh Makarem, Minh Hai Pham

One of the challenging problems with autonomous vehicles is their performance at intersections. This paper shows an alternative control method for the coordination of autonomous vehicles at intersections. The proposed approach is grounded in multi-robot co ...

A Comparative Study of Time Delay Estimation Techniques for Road Vehicle Tracking

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

This paper addresses road traffic monitoring using passive acoustic sensors. Recently, the feasibility of the joint speed and wheelbase length estimation of a road vehicle using particle filtering has been demonstrated. In essence, the direction of arrival ...
