Abstract The driver model is an important link in the research of shared autonomy control. In order to simulate the driver’s handling characteristics in the complex human-vehicle-road closed-loop system, the driver model is required to accomplish the driving operation under specific working conditions. In this paper, a lateral-longitudinal combined racing driver model is designed. The lateral control model adopts the preview model with far and near viewpoints and the dynamic velocity controller is added into the longitudinal control model to obtain the expected speed of the target trajectory. Finally, the racing driver model proposed in this paper is validated through simulation on track conditions of FSAE. In the given conditions, the result shows the racing driver model outperforms the typical driver model in lateral path tracking and the speed of racing driver model is higher than typical model on straight and corners. Meanwhile, the representation of driving skills is a key step to enhance the adaptive control of vehicles in the future. The control parameters can be adjusted according to the driver’s skill information to make the vehicle control system adapt to the driver’s skill level. This paper introduces the method of driving skill recognition based on wavelet transform and Lipschitz singularity detection theory and the preliminary test results prove the feasibility of using this method to characterize the driver’s operating skill level.

The paper presents the developed integrated GNSS/IMU gyrocompass which, unlike the existing systems, contains a single-axis rotating platform with two antennas installed on it and an inertial measurement unit with tactical grade fiber-optic gyros. It is shown that the proposed design provides attitude solution by observing the signals of only one navigation satellite. The structure of the integrated GNSS/IMU gyrocompass, its specific features and prototype model used in the tests are described. The given test results in urban conditions confirmed heading determination accurate to ±1.5° (3σ).

Constitutional Analysis

BACKGROUND: India, with the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, started imposing restrictions in the country th and initiated a nationwide lockdown under Section 6 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 on 24 March 2020, followed by four phases of lockdown and then gradual unlock of the country. The rationale behind the same was to avoid social contact. Alcohol dispensing was also stopped during this time and was among the rst services to be reopened by the States. We propose in this paper that this lifting of ban on alcohol sale during the pandemic has led to a signicant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country. METHODS: This is a prospective, observational study, done by collecting data from the Aargya Setu App, which is a mobile application launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on 2 April 2020 for contact tracing and elf assessment of COVID-19. The data of cumulative number of cases in 12 selected states of the country were compared before and after the lift of ban of alcohol and signicance was shown by the paired t test. RESULTS: The number of COVID-19 positive cases in the country during nationwide lockdown with simultaneous ban on alcohol sale when compared to cumulative number of cases after the lift of ban of alcohol sale during Lockdown and initial Unlock is statistically signicant (p = 0.04) CONCLUSION: We found that the decision to restart the sale of Alcohol could have been a factor for rise in number of cases in the country in the given timeframe. The decision to start the sale has also not been in accordance with the Indian Constitution and against the nation's founding ethics.

Abstract A method to scale and deform a trimmed NURBS surface while holding the shape and size of specific features (trimming curves) unchanged is presented. The new surface is formed by scaling the given surface according to the scaling requirement first; and then attaching the (original) features to the scaled NURBS surface at appropriate locations. The attaching process requires several geometric operations and constrained free-form surface deformation. The resulting surface has the same features as the original surface and same boundary curves as the scaled surface while reflecting the shape and curvature distribution of the scaled surface. This is achieved by minimizing a shape-preserving objective function which covers all the factors in the deformation process such as bending, stretching and spring effects. The resulting surface maintains a NURBS representation and, hence, is compatible with most of the current data-exchange standards. Test results on several car parts with trimming curves are included. The, quality of the resulting surfaces is examined using the highlight line model.

Abstrak Keamanan merupakan hal sangat penting bagi setiap orang. Rumah yang sering ditinggal pemiliknya dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pencuri untuk melakukan aksinya. Oleh karena itu diperlukan sistem keamanan rumah yang efektif agar pemilik rumah dapat mengetahui informasi apabila rumahnya dibobol oleh pencuri. Penulis merancang sebuah sistem keamanan rumah dengan memanfaatkan teknologi RFID yang di lengkapi dengan sensor PIR dan modul GSM sebagai sistem informasi peringatan SMS, dimana semua sistemnya diolah dalam sebuah mikrokontroler ATmega328. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengganti kunci konvesional dengan kunci solenoid sehingga sulit untuk diduplikat serta mengurangi kesempatan aksi pencurian ketika rumah dalam keadaan kosong. Metode penelitian yang digunakan antara lain dimulai dari pengumpulan data (observasi, wawancara dan studi pustaka) serta pembuatan alat (planning, analisis, desain dan testing). Berdasarkan hasil pengujian diperoleh bahwa kunci solenoid dapat bekerja sesuai dengan kartu akses RFID yang diberikan. Sensor PIR dan modul GSM dapat bekerja dengan baik saat pencuri masuk kedalam rumah, sehingga rumah menjadi aman ketika ditinggalkan oleh pemiliknya. Kata Kunci: RFID, Sensor PIR, Modul GSM, ATmega328 Abstract Security is very important for everyone. Homes that are often left the owner can be used by thieves to perform the action. Therefore required an effective home security system so that homeowners can find out information if the house burglarized by thieves. The author designed a home security system by utilizing RFID technology that is equipped with PIR sensor and GSM module as SMS warning information system, where all the system is processed in an ATmega328 microcontroller. The purpose of this research is to change the conventional key with the solenoid key so that it is difficult to duplicate and reduce the chance of theft action when the house is empty. Research methods used, among others, starting from data collection (observation, interview and literature study) as well as making tools (planning, analysis, design and testing). Based on the test results obtained that the solenoid key can work in accordance with the given RFID access card. PIR sensors and GSM modules work well when thieves enter the house, so the house becomes secure when left by the owner. Key Word: RFID, PIR Sensor, GSM Module, ATmega328

The Given

The market for online games is huge, but research on the economics of online game operations remains nascent. In this paper, we focus on “free-to-play” online games in which a game provider offers players an option to purchase game-specific virtual goods (items) for improving their winning chances before the game begins. Because selling virtual items is the main revenue stream in free-to-play games, it is important for game providers to find ways to entice players to purchase virtual items. We observe that some game providers disclose the opponent’s skill level before the game begins by using a “transparent selling” mechanism to sell virtual items, whereas others conceal this information from the players. This observation motivates us to examine whether and when game providers should adopt transparent selling. By analyzing a game-theoretical model that involves one game provider and two competitive players, we obtain the following results. First, when the price of the virtual goods is endogenously determined by the game provider, we find that transparent selling is not effective: it is optimal for the provider to adopt “opaque selling” by concealing the opponent’s skill level information from players. However, opaque selling hurts the player’s welfare. Second, when the selling price is exogenously given, transparent selling dominates opaque selling when the given price is high. Our results identify the conditions under which transparent selling dominates opaque selling.
